Essentially the S95B is delivering just under 10% more brightness in all modes than LG’s G2. While this might not be a truly revolutionary difference, it’s easily enough to make its presence felt in pretty much every frame of picture. Especially as Samsung, as is its way, has chosen to push its new screen’s capabilities quite aggressively with its picture presets. Not that this makes the S95B QD-OLED in any way a relic. When it comes to shared features, these OLED TVs cover many of the same basics. Both panels have four HDMI 2.1 ports, with the S95B supporting 4K up to 120Hz and the S95C going one step further by supporting a 4K signal up to 144Hz. Finally, the Samsung S95C requires some hands-on adjustment when it comes to motion, as the Movie preset is overly processed, while the Filmmaker mode leaves the processing out which is ideal for purists, but some will be put off by the slightly noticeable judder. Delving into the Picture Clarity settings can remedy this to an extent, but Sony is still the one to beat when it comes to motion. This may be due to some undesirable interaction the quantum dots and the OLED panel; as this is the first QD-OLED set we’ve reviewed, it’s difficult to say for sure. And, to reiterate, seeing the differences is not easy with most video. But for a TV this expensive, every detail counts, and this is one where the QN65S95BAF just fails to rise to the challenge.

Conclusion

In a nutshell: The Samsung S95B’s picture quality is excellent and, in some ways, can only be rivaled by Sony’s much more expensive A95K QD-OLED TV, making it a uniquely attractive option for enthusiasts who want the best. The only downside is that it’s only available in 55- and 65-inch options.

Fully prepared for the S95B to not live up to the QD-OLED hype, despite the success of Sony’s A95K, in fact we couldn’t suppress an involuntary ‘wow’ as soon as we clapped eyes on the Samsung set’s pictures. You should turn off the noise reduction systems with 4K and even good quality HD content, too, to make the image look purer and less processed. 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.Buy it if:you want one of the best OLED TVs on the market at the lowest price possible. If you're looking for a new 55-inch model TV, you can't get much better than Samsung's S95 at this record-low price. Basically Samsung, as usual, seems more prepared to take the brakes off with its default Standard picture preset than most rival brands (with the possible exception of Philips). Perhaps especially so with the S95B, given that the company is no doubt keen to push the benefits of its new take on OLED technology since its great rival LG has dominated the OLED space for so long.

US retailers recently received the first batch of Samsung S95C QD-OLED TVs, though the set isn’t out in the UK, Europe or Australia just yet. As such, only the US and UK prices below are official. In the absence of final Australian pricing from Samsung, we’ve given estimates on what we expect the S95C to retail for in that territory.So does Samsung’s S95B QD OLED technology outgun at the first time of asking the long-established and endlessly refined regular OLED technology? Fundamentally, yes, it does. Though probably inevitably this rather stark statement comes with a bunch of ‘terms and conditions’ attached. 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. Input lag measured 9.6ms in the fastest setting within the Game Bar 2.0 settings for a 4K/60 signal. This was halved when fed a 120 signal. The game bar gives you plenty of options and controls over what the TV is doing and how your picture is set up and what features are active, including changing the input lag settings. If you are using a gaming PC you can also set the ultra-wide aspect ratios to see everything available within those games which support ultra-wide aspect ratios of 21:9 and 32:9.
