Samsung QE65S95C

One of the most technically capable TVs there has ever been

We have been talking about QD-OLED (Quantum Dot OLED) for so long, it is easy to forget that the very first QD-OLED TV arrived in shops only a year ago. Said TV, the Samsung S95B, certainly set the cat among the pigeons when it burst onto the scene, thanks to its combination of OLED’s pixel-level contrast control and QLED’s colour vibrancy and brightness.

For 2023, Samsung is venturing a little further into the vibrant blue waters of QD-OLED with a two-model range, of which this S95C is the flagship model. As such, it boasts second-generation QD-OLED technology that promises vastly higher peak brightness and, we are told, greater durability. And, to these eyes, it is one of the most stylish overall designs of any TV you can currently buy.

The S95C’s £3599 asking price puts it in the same pricing ballpark as the excellent LG G3 (£3499), which uses MLA technology to hit similarly high claimed brightness figures. Both of these TVs are significantly more expensive than step-down OLED sets such as the LG C3 (£2899) and Sony A80L (£2499).

One box to join them all 

This flagship S95C has a uniform thickness of 1.1cm. That allows it to be mounted more or less flush with a wall and allows for good placement of the speakers. This uniformly thin design has been achieved by moving all of the connections – including power – to an external ‘One Connect’ box. This year’s One Connect is attachable to the rear of the stand, but those who position it away from the set will have just one, brilliantly slim, cable running to their TV.
