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 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.
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.

I can remember sitting in the hospital room writing that month's edition of this column (called \"The Custom Installer\" at the time) after my daughter, Lauryn, was born in November 2006. Fast-forward 17 years, and now Lauryn is 17 years old, taking college classes, and driving.

Value-Priced Multi-Room Audio
MANY OF us use inexpensive smart speakers throughout our homes to play music and control everything from lights to microwaves and washing machines. Devices like the Amazon Echo are great at controlling smart devices along with other more capable smart speakers and amps, but they don't typically deliver a great listening experience on their own.
Pinnacle Picture Performance
IT IS a small miracle that you can buy a TV as good as the 77-inch Samsung S90C Quantum Dot OLED for $2500.
