THE QN95D is one of two televisions we went hands-on with on a recent trip to Samsung's New Jersey QA Lab, the other being the S95D quantum-dot OLED.

We discovered an attractively thin 4K LCD display screen that produces an HDR picture as bright as last year's QN95C, with wide and accurate coverage of the professional DCI-P3 color space.

Samsung drives all the latest picture quality and sound processing systems with the new NQ4 AI Gen 2 Processor, equipped with 20 AI neural networks capable of generating improved picture depth for more dynamic immersion into the action. As with the new S95D Quantum OLED and the flagship Neo QLED 8K QN900D series, Samsung's 2024 premium 4K Neo QLED models produce a bright, colorful image from thousands of individual mini-LED backlights and expansive fullarray backlight coverage outfitted with more than 1,300 local dimming control zones, affording a slight elevation in color brightness and shadow detail from a year ago.

Just like last year's QN65QN95C, the QN65QN95D handles ambient room light well, though it doesn't entirely eliminate blooming or screen reflections when lights are on in the room. The QN95D proves a capable display for both movie and sports viewing, functioning almost as well in dark rooms as in day-lit ones, provided you can shield sun or room light angles to mitigate screen glare.Like all of Samsung's 2024 smart TVs, the Tizen v.8 OS is beefed up from 2023 to offer snappier menu navigation for quick access to program suggestions from the large streaming app movie libraries or the growing lineup of cloud-gaming services.

The QN95D 4K Neo QLED LCD series will be available in a wide range of screen sizes, including 43-inches ($1,499 suggested retail price); 50-inches ($1,599); 55-inches ($1,999), 65-inches ($2,699), 75-inches ($3,299), 85-inches ($4,799) and 98-inches ($14,999). All models will have similar feature sets, though smaller screen models may have fewer mini-LEDs and local dimming zones, resulting in different peak brightness readings.

The Big Clean

Chances are you probably do not think about the state of your electronic devices too often. Oh, you might think about all the upgrades you would like to make; where you would put those new tower speakers, or how a second or third subwoofer would really tame those bass modes in your room, or how much more cinematic a larger screen would be. Sure, you think about that part of your system. But how often do you think about the well-being of your system?

Bridging the Analog-Digital Gap on a Recliner

When I shopped for a motorized recliner, I rejected models with their own Internet Protocol address and built-in speakers. No need. I had already placed a smart speaker on an étagère beside the space where I had planned to put the chair. I'd have a smartphone in my hand and the room would be bathed in Wi-Fi.
