Samsung S95C QD-OLED TV Review | Best Samsung TV Ever?

[@Caleb_Denison]

Hey everyone! Thanks as always for all the great comments! As someone has pointed out, the Auto Mode didn’t trigger the Tv to cover BT. 2020, which I absolutely SHOULD have caught. But I was kinda flying since I had to wait for a replacement. With BT 2020 engaged it will cover in the 90s. I’ll go over this in the VS. with the G3!

[@993mike]

One big problem with Samsung’s One Connect box is that at my new house that’s fairly higher-end, the wall for the TV is already pre-wired with HDMI 2.1 e-ARC inputs and power, so as much as I would love to get this TV it’s a no go for my installation - which sucks. Hopefully the Sony version is just all built-in like usual.

Hi, have you tried both tv's. samsung s95c and lg g3. In your opinion, which one is better uncalibrated out of the box, which one would you choose yourself?

[@Jeroenneman]

Wait, Samsung still doesn't auto-detect the right color space for content?

[@maxborn7400]

I am glad that you are finally taking TV reviews seriously and giving it the emotional depth it needs 😔

[@jonasnezinomas5781]

Our verdict on the LG G3 vs. Samsung S95C duel A look at the final scores reveals: The LG G3 and the Samsung S95C lead the field of the best TVs and would win any other comparison with the competition. The differences between the two top models are minimal and the price for both is just under 3,000 euros. Even when it comes to picture quality, which is the decisive argument for many, the televisions are on par. So which TV is best for you depends a lot on your needs. If a well thought-out remote control for linear operation is important to you, we recommend the LG G3. The remote control of the Samsung S95C is designed for streaming and otherwise seems notchy. If you want to save on a soundbar for the time being, you will get better sound with the Samsung S95C. If you already own a soundbar that works with either the Q Symphony or WOW Orchestra, we recommend that you use the corresponding TV model. If you want to put the TV on a dresser, you will be happy with the stand of the Samsung TV. With the LG G3, you have to invest an additional 200 euros for a stand. It is exactly the opposite if you prefer wall mounting. The design of the LG G3 is precisely designed for this and includes everything that is necessary for perfect installation.

[@mkkrupp2462]

Thanks for that useful information- especially re the stand/wall mount

[@shroey20]

I've made my decision. The A95L will be too expensive for me and I was debating for a while between the G3 and the S95C. I decided to go with the 77' Samsung simply because of the versatility that the one connect box will provide for my living room setup. My current living room TV is a 55' Q6F from 2018 so I can't wait! 😊

The thing that blew me away about this tv was its viewing angles. I thought nothing could beat oled tv viewing angles but the qd oleds sh!t on every TV in this regard. I saw no noticeable degradation of brightness when looking at this tv from the side and because it’s so bright it really stands out next to any TV next to it (like at Best Buy or Costco). My biggest concern with Samsung TVs though, is its reliability and consistency in panel quality.

[@FinalLightNL]

I still have a LG C2 42” for pc use, bought it the day it came out. Recently got calman home and calibrated every mode, i’m so happy with it except for one thing. I would love a 42” size pushing 1500+ nits as well. Would make a great gaming experience.

I actually had an LG E8 fall flat on its face after unboxing the top. Amazingly there was actually no discernible damage when I turned it on. It wasn't until a few years later that I noticed the bottom right corner now shows a bit of blotting... but it's only visible in certain conditions and it's so small that you can't really notice it. Basically the bottom right corner is a bit rounded instead of the sharp angle the other corners have. It's still going strong and I honestly don't think I need to upgrade this thing for a while longer. No burn-in yet! 😊

Just out of curiosity, what made you go for the E over the C or even better G? Just curious.. don't hear many people using the E series and always been a bit of an enigma.. I worked in richer sounds before covid and even then we barely seen the E series on display! Always aas the A,C,G series!

[@lammyjammer6670]

@@SSNebula I think they don't make them anymore but honestly it was price. If I remember correctly they were the same as the C series of that year but a bit slicker in style being a full slab of glass all the way to the base (it gives the unit a floating effect on the stand) and with better speakers. I got it for a good deal shortly after it came out because apparently they weren't moving. The only reason one would buy it is because of looks honestly. The C8 was technically the exact same unit otherwise. You can actually dump a C9 board on these to get full 4k 120Hz out of the panel via HDMI even! I think LG realized people weren't willing to pay a bit more just for looks and discontinued them because mine was cheaper than the C8 was at the time.

A Best Buy salesman just talked me into buying the S95. When he and another associate brought the TV outside to me I noticed the box said S94. He said it's the same TV, just the 2023 model. So he talked me into a TV with over a thousand positive reviews then brought me a TV with literally only one positive review. Apparently this S94 doesn't have Bluetooth so you wouldn't be able to watch this TV with a wireless headset but I'm not concerned about that. What sold me on the S95 is how bright the screen is. I could have purchased a similar LG for about $300 cheaper but it was a little bit dimmer and I was impressed with the brightness of the S95. Unfortunately there hasn't been anybody to do a full review of the S94 so I'm uncertain if I want to take it out of the box.

After seeing Stop the FOMO prove that there was little to no difference between Dolby Vision and HDR10+, this TV is definitely going to be my choice. Q Symphony helps with the decision also..

[@Noneya5555]

There is 1 major difference in that Dolby Vision is the universal standard used by virtually all the studios and streaming services, whereas HDR10+ is hardly used by any of them (Amazon Prime Video being a rare exception). So more often than not, your choice would be between DV if you go with other major brands, and nothing if you go with Samsung. 🤨

As this video gets posted, here in the UK we were literally building our store demo 85" QN800C 8K. And again was initially dubious about the stand (same design as here) however it holds the weight beautifully, and what a great upgrade on the rear design for holding the One connect Box over 2022. 👏 Cannot wait to build the rest of this years lineups of TVs.

@DYAUS and so was I when I said 8K. Which encompasses QN900C/QN800C and QN700C. The stand will be exactly the same as Caleb has built here as it was on our QN800C. Which to start with looks dubious but once stood up and built is soo solid. 👌

[@dyauswinters]

@@chris10053 sorry, didn't realize you were only referring to the stand. Yes you are correct, the stand is EXTREMELY nice and durable. Plus leaves room for a sound bar. But my 85QN900C is still not as bright as my 85X95K in the most accurate modes. I can make the Samsung ever so slightly brighter using things like, contrast enhancer, while in "active" tone mapping mode. But all that just to get the "extra" brightness, is strange. I do think it's great with black level and blooming, although still not quite as good as my Sony X95K. But either equal, or so close that I can't tell the difference. Where my Sony destroys the 900C is the motion. It's night and day. So weird that a TV HALF THE PRICE can match the Samsung in every aspect, yet beat it in other aspects.

[@jasmadahar9089]

From my perspective (in the UK anyway), I’m really hoping that Phillips (which is evaluating QD-OLED) takes this technology on as a consumer set. From my perspective, Phillips will offer all HDR formats as well as their brilliant Ambilight technology as well as its competitive pricing. I’m thinking that MLA will need to be made available at a lower price on LG’s C series to really bring it into the mainstream. Should that be the case, it’ll give QD-OLED a real run for it’s money.

The limited brightness may also be due to a lack of an actual heatsink. I think they advertised this year that theres a graphite heatsink but from what ive seen people think its marketing talk for their thermal pad they had last year. Maybe sony a95l has a chance of hitting those peak nits because of the heatsink and because they tamed the brightness on the a95k. Also i went to my local electronics store and was talking with the staff in there and they were saying they had a lot more people bring in there s95B with burn in than A95k or G2 owners. So thats why they kept recommending the other OLEDs to people. But it is still a great TV. Would love a comparison between the s95C and A95L or even s95b and a95k to show whether dolby vision is a big deal though because from Stop the Fomo vid there didnt seem a big difference. But not a lot of recent content showing the difference in todays market

If Samsung Electronics wanted to nerf the qdoled's peak brightness, then why did the sony qdoled model from last year have even less brightness than the s95b? Because the tv manufacturers likely knew that the "2000 nits" claim was bogus and could quickly lead to burn-in.

[@xintimidate]

@@classicgalactica5879 what does your comment even mean? DV isn't necessary at all especially considering all the TVs we have now are 10 bit and can't even fully utilize DV potential. You literally have to have the TVs side by side to notice a difference. If you bought into the DV copium that's on you. It's a good television idk what your point is. So what if you've been in your job for 20 years, this TV has been out for a year and DV isn't even 10 years old. If the whole premise of your argument is based on your job title then you don't have any point to make. Stop embarrassing yourself

I've now watched about 15 of your videos, both recommended by you and by Google's algorithm. Not once was I recommended a video that was what I am looking for today. Which is a much smaller TV; in the 40-45 inch range with all your normal commentary. Where are all your modern day small TV reviews? Edit: I should add that I'm looking for non-OLED TV's.

This damage on screen is on A95K too. It's something about antireflecting coating. I returned one 65A95K and got another, and another one has small damage like this, but not like the previous one, and I keep it...

Great video trying to decide between this TV the lg g3 and Sony a95l. I liked the TV stand where's it from? Thanks keep up the great videos

[@justinsugay1149]

Sounds amazing. Caleb, appreciate your humor and hard work on this. That said, I hope it's not being overhyped like the previous version. I'm wondering what the Sony A95L will have to offer over this? Will it's tendency to have superior color accuracy be enough? Looking forward to it. Obviously Sony will have Dolby Vision but will it's gaming features be lacking in any way comparatively?

[@GreggM3123]

It's just been found to not be full 48Gbps, but only 40Gbps like the LG CX because of the one connect box. I purchased the S90C 77" due to this and the fact that the panel is the same as the S95C (in the 77" only), for a thousand less, around $1500 less after Samsung Care Plus for 4 years and tax differences. Minor differences in speakers (should have surround if you have this anyway) and a bit less bright in testing not really application. Happy hunting. I literally went crazy choosing between LG G3, and the 2 Samsung OLED'S S95C 77" and S90C 77". I actually ordered then cancelled S95C after finding out about the HDMI mess.

[@Pajamagrammar]

7 months later. very much in same boat. LG vs Samsung. Specifically s90c vs c3. Both arrive on Saturday 😅

The only problem with Dolby Vision isntheres no easy way to turn it off.

[@beckerborg]

What are thoughts about the s90c? Thank you

[@pauldowninguk]

I would say Samsung pegged back the brightness to reduce the chance of screenburn and to help with panel life. It might also allow them to bring out the 2024 TV with "extra brightness" using the same panel!

[@RealArtVandelay]

Wait, they REDUCED the brightness ?? They said that they increased it by 30% ( the s95b has 0150 nits and the s95c has 1400)

[@pauldowninguk]

@@RealArtVandelay Not as such. The S95C panel can go up to 1800-2000 nits from factory. Obviously running at that may affect panel life and accuracy. So although brighter than the S95B, it could go higher.

Caleb is getting 1550 nits vs 1350 nits from retail buyers. Anyone else getting close to Caleb’s panel? That level of brightness variation is not a Golden Sample, that’s straight up reviewer manipulation by Samsung.

[@FlyingFamily]

The screen rubbing issue is well know issue of samsung QD-Oled. I am from India (Delhi). I knew the place and sellers who bought these rejected TVs and re-sale at less than 50..70% off with 1yr seller warranty. They said there is no complaint with LG panel but the thermacol itself rubbed the screen(samsung qd-oleds) which make most of the buyers asked for returns and these TVs then available to re-sellers.

You are the only reviewer to mention the lack of DTS on a TV this expensive is ridiculous.

[@Trickit10]

Agree with reservations of tizen OS. Can the TV be setup as monitor only and then add a chromecast? Will it retain the use of the factory remote when using chromecast? Struggling with the decision between this and last year's model, hard to justify the price jump however.

[@NATESUCKSATGAMING]

Do the smaller sized tvs have different tech? 55inch vs 65 inch?

[@KraSH84]

Please help. I not sure which go get either the 77 inch LG G3 or the SAMSUNG S95C. I have seen both in store and both look great. Although a concern was the G3 was very hot to touch where as the s95c was cool. I don't game at all so the tv will be used for streaming watching movies and alot of sports and cable tv. Opinions much appreciated cheers

[@AlanS.2015atgmail]

I suspect that Samsung has not released the full brightness power of this TV because of concerns about burn-in. This is why LG keeps dimming down their picture in certain sceens. My 5 year old $3K plus 65-inch LG Oled has developed burn in and it just ruins the picture. In addition to the image retention, there is quite a bit of color fade especially with the reds on large areas of the screen. In my experience as you use the OLED you sort of use up the color, so it gets weaker over time. Early Rting testing of this technology does not bode well for the longevity of this beautiful picture. At these prices I would like the picture quality to last at least 7 years, but if the early testing is any indication I believe problems might develop within 4 years.

[@robertjira7365]

..yes we can ONLY wish, even Sony uhd LCD lived 4 1/2 years, Its made it so you buy new one as soon Its posible.. QD-Oled will be the same, you are right sir👍 but there is no other choise, perhaps you will not watch tv that much 😂

I have the 77” s95c got for $2989 at bb open item and have 60days to return or exchange. I’m slowly falling in love with it, but want the most 3 dimensional out of the tv so thinking about the LG G3 if it’s the same or if g3 has more pop. Do u know if it does??? Some says it does and some says it’s the same … what u think?? Should I keep my s95c or get a g3 but price is now $3999 for the 77” g3 but still more than my open item 77” s95c.

[@frenchmanntube]

I can't understand why people use sound bars or run sound through their tellys. If you own a TV of this quality you can afford and should have a 5.1 system that is THX certified (minimum). Also, streaming anything is never as good as Blu Ray (even 1080p), plus you can bypass the TV altogether and run your DTS signal through your sound system. Also, who needs Dolby vision? It's like having a graphic equaliser on a high end hi-fi, just silly. If the source is reference quality, you don't need to artificially make it "better".

[@someshwarrao42]

People stretch their budgets with TVs. Not everyone wants to go through the headache of buying more stuff. They want a good TV that works out the box, thats it.

Have you faced any issues with the One connet Box? The S95C is currently on Sale near me and i've been wanting an OLED for so long but i've read everywhere about Blackouts and sudden power-offs with the OCB.

[@DropkickNation]

More than happy with my S95B, but looks like an awesome TV. Well done, Samsung. Much respect.

[@thermonius]

As always great content... Here is an idea though ... What about a revisit of older flagship tvs and how do they stand in todays market ... For example the 2020 samsung QE65Q95T... And how does it fare today ... And what would be the equivalent tvs that you could get today, that would match it or surpass it in the budget category, if any .... That would be great for people that would either looking to get a bargain on an older model or people that are looking to upgrade and would like to see from where in the line up should start looking in order for their upgrade to make sense .... Just an idea ...😉 Keep up the good work both in reviews and weight loss 😉🤘👏

[@johnwilliamson6442]

Because of great discounts a few months back, I bought the S95B and am just as impressed with colour as Caleb….but…the Tizen system is extremely slow and somewhat buggy x the previous version in my Q80 is much better. Also, and as a first ever, I had to get on to the Samsung help line to do the initial set up - the S95B would not tune free to air digital broadcast channels. The tech person deleted the SamsungPlus system and magically I could tune channels. Samsung Plus is tenacious and reloads causing me to have to repeat the process a couple of times since then in order to fix similar issues. Samsung has some problems with the S95B operating system….perhaps now fixed? Anyway, a magical TV.

[@rachmadsuhartono]

To be fair their 8K Neo QLEDs are also great. They had punchier colors, brighter details, more HDR impact, better upscaling capability, with OLED-like contrast and black level. There's a little bit of blooming and DSE because it's basically still an LCD but a very very advanced one.

[@tears2040]

You are incorrect on several points. Samsung Oled has superior Color Gamut and Color Volume vs any Samsung Qled model or any other Qled for that matter. Also Samsung Oled definitely has much brighter specular highlights because no LCD as of today can reach that small level detail. Even a good lcd at best has a couple thousand dimming zones, Oled has millions of pixels that each illuminate…….. The only real advantage of the 8K model is overall brightness and of course less likely to burn in, that’s about it. Even a 4k QD-Oled is sharper than a Samsung 8K, because of the pixel structure. I suggest not to post if you’re rally uniformed on what you’re speaking of. I own a Samsung 8K 85” and an Lg Oled 65” and soon upgrading to 77”.

[@dyauswinters]

​@J Frank j frank sorry you're so grumpy about an opinion, but you're completely wrong on a few points. Contrast is AMAZING! NOT QD-OLED amazing, but very very very very, very close!!! Blacks are inky black. To my eye, not as black as my 85X95K but almost identical. But the POP it provides especially in HDR with 2100 nits 10% screen, yeah its bright. Of course that is with enhancements like, contrast enchancer, and "active" tone mapping turned on, but this thing looks unrivaled in a lot of ways compared to OLED. Even the newest QD-OLED.

[@floorgang420]

The main problem with global dimming LCD that it doesn't work well with games. People buy TV for multiple usage.

[@dyauswinters]

@nhac lly of course. I do think the 900C is good for gaming, ACTUALLY AMAZING for gaming. I don't know about the 800C especially at the 85 inch size. Because it's a different panel type, (ADS/IPS) but I'm sure it's comparable. My 900C has NO DSE AT ALL! But it is dimmer then my 85X95K in all the most accurate modes. Meaning, WITHOUT using CE.

[@bigcdub]

Had the 85" X95K, wasn't impressed, took it back and purchased the QN900B, wich to me, is miles better, absolutely love the unrivaled 8K upscaling it provides for my 4K Ultra Blu-ray's, with that said, my S95C has better contrast, depth, and punch than any Mini or Quantum LED. But that 8K detail is no joke...

Our Q8FN died and we just got this one. It’s super nice but not like night and day different. The OS is slow and now you need more clicks to switch to devices. Samsung UX people need new leadership. Engineers should get a raise though. It’s perfectly fine in our super bright living room. We were worried going with OLED but brightness is perfect with vivid colors.
