About this deal

Except for Dolby Vision, the QN65S95BAF supports all the major technologies found in the current generation of gaming consoles (as I discovered when I plugged in my Xbox Series X), including support for FreeSync Premium, variable refresh rate (VRR), and Samsung’s version of Auto Low Latency Mode (ALLM). These settings and more (such as for specific game genres) are instantly accessible from a pop-up bar when the TV is in Game mode. With that said, at NO time was I ever distracted by motion performance while watching this TV. I was simply dazzled by how striking the S95B looks. It may not be perfect, but it is damn close. Sound quality In SDR Filmmaker Mode (the closest to an out-of-the-box calibration option) with the Brightness Optimization setting off, the QN65S95BAF’s Delta-E value, which measures how the source color differs from the displayed color (with lower numbers being better) was a fine 3.0184, and the picture covered exactly 100% of the Rec.709 color gamut. Using the same settings, the set’s brightness registered as 329.5 nits—a high result for an OLED TV. For comparison, the Sony A80J, one of our favorite sets of 2021, was slightly less accurate in its Custom mode with a Delta-E of 3.3645, but covered more of the Rec.709 gamut (110.4%). The Samsung S95B is only available in 55- and 65-inch screen sizes, while the new S95C adds a 77-inch option. (Image credit: Samsung) Samsung S95C vs Samsung S95B: Features The Samsung S95B’s audio is in some ways a pleasant surprise, given how insanely thin most of the TV’s bodywork is. With regular day-to-day TV audio and the relatively spartan talky scenes that actually make up most of a typical movie’s running time, the sound appears clean and nicely staged, with the OTS system doing a startlingly effective job of making specific sound effects appear as if they’re coming from the right place both on and slightly beyond the screen. Especially with Dolby Atmos mixes.

The Samsung S95B is one of the most advanced TVs you can buy, and not just because it uses the newly designed QD-OLED panel. We uploaded the latest brightness measurements and uniformity photos for the Accelerated Longevity Test. Worries that Samsung’s new QD-OLED technology might have pretty much peaked at launch with 2022’s S95Bs are emphatically put to bed by the S95C.

QD-OLED is here, and it’s pretty wonderful

We retested the TV with the latest firmware, version 1420. All of our measurements were close to the previously published data, so no changes were made to the review. In TV side of QD-OLED the only TVs with Samsung Display's QD-OLED panels that are sold in North America are the 55" and 65" Sony XR-55A95k and the Sony XR-65A95K.Not sure where your information comes from but it is highly incorrect, the S95B may not be strongly marketed as a QD-OLED by Samsung, but make no mistake it is only in 55" and 65" same as the A95K because it comes off the exact same panel line with the exact same limitations in sizes, it is QD-OLED, otherwise it's ability to cover over 90% of the BT2020 color space would be absolutely impossible with any WRGB OLED off of LG's now outdated line, they barely cover 76%, should do your research before spreading false info

This does not mean that pictures look gaudy or unbalanced, though (so long as you’re reasonably careful with some of the TV’s picture settings). In fact, the S95B’s images can actually look more convincing, natural and balanced, as the removal of the white image element enables the S95B to deliver a truer representation of the sort of colours creators were seeing on their professional grade mastering monitors.

Video Review

In fact, the A95L has essentially the same sound system as the A95K, which we described as one of the best-sounding TVs you can buy. The S95B’s all-new panel design is driven by a specially adapted version of Samsung’s Neural Quantum Processor 4K, complete with elements devoted to boosting brightness and colour, enhancing perceived resolution and improving upscaling of sub-4K content.

As is the case with all Samsung TVs, neither the QN90B nor the S95B supports Dolby Vision, a popular, proprietary version of HDR. Dolby Vision titles can be streamed on platforms like Netflix and Apple TV, and Blu-rays are often mastered for Dolby Vision, too. Subscriptions required. Some apps may not be available at launch. 3rd party content providers may remove apps from the Smart TV platform or stop updating them at any time. Side-by-side comparisons show the S95C delivering a host of picture improvements over its already ground-breaking predecessor. There is no analogue sound output, and if you use your own sound system for hi-fi sound connected via a fibre optic Toslink you need to select TV speakers as the output, turn the TV sound down and control the sound level via your external amplifier. Turning the sound up on the TV simple turns up the volume of the built-in speakers. While it was the S95B’s brightness and local contrast that first caught my eye, it didn’t take long to realise that actually its main attraction is its colour performance. Scenes in HDR films I’ve seen dozens if not hundreds of times suddenly appeared with depths and vibrant ranges of colour that I’ve never seen on an OLED-based TV before. Bright yellows and reds, in particular, pop off the screen with ferocious intensity compared with screens that have to use a white element in their colour make up.
