This year's version delivers one of the brightest 4K UHD HDR10 pictures (topping 1600 nits in a 10% window pattern) we've tested from a consumer OLED television to date. The higher luminosity is brilliant against a new matte black anti-glare screen that nearly eliminates room reflections.
FEATURES
The set boasts a thin-panel design and includes Samsung's outboard One Connect Box, which we'll get to a bit later. Using the supplied stand allows the set to sit flat against a wall or stand neatly without cable clutter on a credenza or entertainment center.
The Samsung 77S95D has many powerful picture and sound processing tools, all driven by Samsung's latest "Neural Quantum" NQ4 AI Gen 2 Processor. This setup offers advanced upscaling and noise reduction. The AI technology lets users configure the television to automatically adjust the picture and sound. It does this by changing the picture to match the room's light and the type of content. However, we found picture mode presets, like Filmmaker Mode, to be better for most movie viewing. They were more consistent in preserving the artistic vision.
When not in use for movies or TV, the Samsung S95D is an exceptional 4K OLED gaming display. It has a refresh rate that tops out at 144 Hz, which creates smooth, clear, and fast gameplay for advanced game titles. This speed is available on any of the four HDMI 2.1 inputs. The set's Motion Xcelerator 144 Hz processing, which works with advanced consoles and gaming PCs, also offers smooth motion and clear gaming action.

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.
