You will get to see the difference between having Firmware 1520 Calibrated with Service Menu Hacks applied vs Firmware 1602 Semi-Calibrated with Service Menu Hacks applied. I have Live TV content shown here for SDR as many people request it. The biggest differences you will be able to see on camera here in this video are the color, brightness, and motion differences. Firmware 1602 has on average about 30+ more nits of brightness vs 1520 and the colors are better despite the update changing some of my calibration alignments and etc. I will do a comparison between what we see here with 1602 vs 1602 recalibrated in a future video. I have my picture settings in the description box of many of my Samsung S95B Firmware 1520 videos (also linked below).

Here is the link to one of my videos showing you my recommended picture settings listed in the description box of this video: https://youtu.be/BEDlvzGCGj4?si=_2NP4cerRh27QgHh

Here is the link to my video showing you how to access the Service Menu to fix many of the brightness issues: https://youtu.be/9NyJxXui0yc?si=cNyjuMUnoxwnbWh6
