Samsung's previous QD-OLED model, the S95C increased the brightness, expanded the colours, improved the high dynamic range (HDR) tone mapping and added a better screen filter. The new S95D, however, takes all these existing strengths, but promises to push the boundaries even further. So does that equal the best OLED TV available?
The S95D uses the latest Quantum Dot OLED (QD-OLED) panel, which is claimed increases the peak brightness by up to 20% and further widens the colour gamut. As a result, Samsung promises a previously unseen level of performance from an OLED TV.
The new 'Glare Free' screen filter is ported over from Samsung's Frame TV, and uses an embossed surface with a special coating that diffuses light in multiple directions. The brand claims this new filter not only eliminates reflections but also improves perceived black levels.
The tone mapping has also been improved, whether you're using the Static or Active HDR settings. The former mode tracks the industry targets precisely to retain artistic intent, while the latter delivers brighter HDR without losing detail.

The S95D's OLED panel is almost certainly the most accomplished 4K screen we've ever seen, coupling deep blacks with LCD rivalling brightness.
