I've owned an OLED TV for around 5 years so my expectations were high. I (and my wife for that matter) were very used to the inky blacks that OLED TVs can deliver.The assembly of the TV itself onto the stand was a little tricky, you definitely require another pair of hands to ensure it is done safely. The one connect box is brilliant and allows you to connect all the devices you own that would usually find their home in the back of the TV into the external box. The TV allows you to mount this on the stand or use the included longer 2.5m cable to store it in your media cabinet/stand (like I did).The S95D is certainly capable of a much higher brightness level that that of my old OLED TV.

The setup process was very quick - you just have to select your language and country, followed by connecting to the internet and then ideally logging into your Samsung account.BBC iPlayer and Channel 4 apps are missing, however upon contacting Channel 4 and Samsung, they confirmed that both apps are in certification and would be available in the near future.The best picture mode out of the box that requires very little or no changes is the film maker mode. I spent some time watching shows and movies with my family and found the picture to be very life like. Upon changing the picture clarity settings, I found the TV to handle motion such as football very well. The matte coating on the screen certainly is a game changer when it comes to enjoying an OLED TV in bright light.When it comes to gaming, the game mode has a brilliant action bar that allows you to do things such as enable minimap zoom and an overlay crosshair setting. The S95D supports every format and feature the PS5 is able to output. I was well aware of reported issues with previous iterations of the one connect box - such as signal dropping and I am more than happy to report that I didn't experience anything like this on the S95D.The speakers are some of the best built-in speakers I have ever heard on a TV, even my wife who was used to our external surround setup commented on how well it sounded. I also own a Samsung soundbar and was able to take advantage of the Q-Symphony setting which uses the TV speakers alongside the soundbar for improved clarity.The lack of Dolby Vision was the only thing I was a bit concerned about, but as a content consumer I can't tell the difference and I can't find one bad thing to say about the picture or the TV for that matter. A contender for TV of the Year 2024 for sure

This is truly a "next-generation" television.Design:It is shockingly flat, especially if you choose the route of wall-mounting it (which I would highly recommend). Beyond that, however, it has a feature called a "one connect" box, which allows you to route all of your power, HDMI cable connections (for game systems, audio receiver boxes, streaming devices, etc.). This is not only an aesthetically pleasing design choice, by Samsung, it is also super convenient and allows the owner of the TV to have more options when choosing where and how cleanly any setup choice will look.Picture Quality:The picture quality, however, is nothing short of spectacular.

Beyond that, however, it has a feature called a "one connect" box, which allows you to route all of your power, HDMI cable connections (for game systems, audio receiver boxes, streaming devices, etc.). This is not only an aesthetically pleasing design choice, by Samsung, it is also super convenient and allows the owner of the TV to have more options when choosing where and how cleanly any setup choice will look.Picture Quality:The picture quality, however, is nothing short of spectacular. I've owned a traditional "LED" flat screen television for almost 10 years and never realized how much of an improvement image quality has attained over the last decade. OLED means that the "LED" (light emitting diode) is "organic" insofar as it can create its own light, rather than just influence a pre-lit "zone" of a traditional LED setup. What this ultimately translates into is a picture quality that can have "true black". This is achieved by the OLEDs being able to turn themselves completely off, versus trying to achieve a "darkest color" in a pre-lit LED setup. The result is breathtaking.Additionally, a TV of this caliber has a high refresh rate, which makes the image quality itself buttery smooth during fast-paced scenes or quick-flashing sequences of images. The 144 Hz refresh rate means that the image will refresh itself 144 times a second. This is partially achieved, in some formats, via Samsung's "Motion Xcelerator". This helps make even some older formats look better on such a high-end product.One of the major differences with this year's S95D model, is its "OLED Glare Free" technology. The images I submitted with this review, show the incredibly brightness this television achieves even in a well-lit room. Its picture has yet to show any signs of anything reflecting off of it, be it the outdoor light, office lamps or decorative lighting that I have.The only lackluster part of this products, in my opinion, would be the unimpressive remote that comes with this TV. For a premium product, I feel the consumer wants something more than a remote that seems the size of one you'd use to control a space heater, or fan. It is of good quality, however, though does feel you left wanting more.Ultimately, I would HIGHLY recommend this to anyone in the market for an OLED TV.

I purchased this TV in April 2024 as a temporary set for my home cinema room, while in-between projectors (my last one was a JVC NZ8), but it's so good that it's going to be hard to go back to a projector!The picture quality, after set-up and calibration, is incredible, especially in HDR (the attahced photos were taken with my iPhone and don't do it justice). The small "downgrade" in size (my PJ screen was 88" diag 16/9) is more than made up with the significant upgrade regarding everything else: picture quality, color volume, highlights, black level, contrast, even motion... I sit at 1 screen width, so I only had to move my seats forward slightly to get the same immersion (in fact slightly better) and a much better picture quality than with my high-end projector ... MoreI purchased this TV in April 2024 as a temporary set for my home cinema room, while in-between projectors (my last one was a JVC NZ8), but it's so good that it's going to be hard to go back to a projector!The picture quality, after set-up and calibration, is incredible, especially in HDR (the attahced photos were taken with my iPhone and don't do it justice).

I sit at 1 screen width, so I only had to move my seats forward slightly to get the same immersion (in fact slightly better) and a much better picture quality than with my high-end projector costing more than five times more.The JVC was no slouch, but I have zero regret with the S90C, especially at that price. Every single film I re-watch looks significantly better. The picture is very organic, not artificial at all (with the right settings). With QD OLED there is no blooming, and the off-axis performance is excellent, which means that even if your sitting distance is close, there is no discoloration on the side of the picture (for yourself or those sitting next to you), contrary to mini-LED.I almost bought a Sony A95L before I realised how much of a bargain the S90C is (same panel, excellent processing, good color accuracy out of the box). No regret regarding the A95L either, this set is brighter and once calibrated, just as good, even with low quality content. The S90C might not be as accurate out of the box, but calibrating it to near reference is very easy. It's a better option for gaming too, thanks to its 4 HDMI 2.1 ports.The integrated sound is very good for a TV. I use a full 9.2.4 setup through an AVR, but for TV or casual use I find the TV speakers very decent.The only item missing on the features list is Dolby Vision, though with an HD Fury device (I have a VRROOM) it's very easy to add DV compatibility to this set if it really matters to you.With almost 1,200nits peak white, I don't think Dolby Vision or HDR10+ bring much to the table. There is so much contrast and the picture is so good with static tonemapping that there might be a minor loss of highlights with very bright titles, but with most of the content DV/HDR10+ makes little to no difference, so it can really be disregarded.I use this TV in a fully dedicated room (the anti-reflection filter is good for sports or TV in a living room with some ambient light, but in my opinion your really need the lights off to have no reflections at all during movie watching in a cinema room).Installation was easy, and 77" is the largest size I can bring into my current room due to a cramped stairway, so I'm not missing out on anything. Make sure that you have enough ceiling height in your room to unpack the set, as you need to lift the outside of the packaging up, which can be tricky in a loft space, especially with a slanted roof.The OS is fine (better than what most say), but I don't use it, I use external sources (including an ATV 4K and a FireTV 4K Max for streaming), so I can't really evaluate the internal apps as I don't use them,It looks great with its minimalist design, and I like the fact that the pedestal makes it usable on a stand that's doesn't have to be as wide as the TV if you're not wall-mounting it.I would highly recommend this TV to anyone looking for excellent quality at an unbeatable price. Even at twice the price, it would still be a bargain!
