The Samsung S95C is an absolutely dazzling high-end OLED TV with class-leading brightness, top-notch color performance, and minimal input lag.

The Samsung S95C may not be quite as game-changing as its predecessor, but that says more about the S95B’s legacy than it does the S95C’s overall performance. It’s every bit as good as the S95B, but with the added benefit of brighter highlights, better color, and improved picture processing.

The S95C is the best TV Samsung has ever made

We love the Samsung S95C’s velvety picture and richly saturated highlights–it’s a top three TV to be sure. That said, Samsung needs to up its image-processing game and rework its smart TV user interface if it wants to beat out the likes of Sony’s A95K and LG’s evo G3.

Overall, the Samsung S95C is a superb TV for any usage. Movies look amazing in a dark room thanks to its near-infinite contrast ratio, with deep uniform blacks and bright highlights, with no distracting blooming.

Samsung raises the bar for TVs with the S95C, delivering impressive colors and contrast with more than enough brightness for any setting. It’s incredibly slim, putting the brains and the ports in a separate unit that you can hide away. It comes at a steep cost, but you get what you pay for.

The S95C is Samsung’s flagship OLED TV for 2023. It delivers a brighter picture than last year’s model, along with a higher refresh rate and a sleeker design. Most people will be satisfied with the less expensive S95B, but this new model is undeniably impressive. It comes in 77-, 65-, and 55-inch screen sizes.

It's this extra brightness, perfect blacks, and an exceptionally wide colour gamut that create superlative HDR images. SDR content fares equally well, with the S95C perhaps the most colour-accurate television I have reviewed after calibration. It's helped in no small part by its ability to produce finer gradation and subsequent detail in darker scenes. All in all, the S95C is a beautiful television that pushes the boundaries of OLED technology and, as such, comes highly recommended.

If you are looking for a new TV at this level of the market you are going to have a hard time deciding which one to go for. The Samsung S95C should offer some of the best value for money as the year progresses if the S95B price depreciation is repeated. Image quality is stunning as you would expect at this level of the market with superb colour volume capabilities and excellent HDR10 performance. There is no Dolby Vision support which may be an issue for some buyers, and with some areas of performance, like video processing, it is not quite as polished as the Sony and LG G3, but with everything else, including gaming, it is an excellent choice,

S95C is built around the acclaimed QD-OLED panel, which again in 2023 offers an expanded color space, even higher peak brightness, and color accuracy that can easily compete with the flagship models from Sony and LG. Samsung's picture algorithms are slightly behind our reference model from Sony or LG's flagship models, but you have to scrutinize it to notice the difference. However, like Sony's A95K, you must be aware of the special pixel structure, which results in color fringing in high-contrast color transitions; the effect becomes more noticeable the larger the screen you buy. Avoid buying QD-OLED for text-heavy tasks.

Samsung's flagship OLED television delivers stunning images, but it will cost you.

The S95C is an astonishingly capable TV that’s held back from true greatness by a slight lack of picture subtlety

Samsung’s second generation of Quantum Dot OLED TV provides strong proof that we were right to predict great things for this new technology. The S95C is more spectacular but also more controlled than its already illustrious predecessor - and we can’t get enough of it.

The sequel to Samsung's debut QD-OLED TV is all we could have hoped for and more, delivering a level of improvement in picture and sound quality beyond anything we have the right to see in the space of just a year. Anyone who thought QD-OLED was a flash in the TV tech pan needs to think again, fast.

We expected the QE65S95C to be even brighter and even more colourful than its QD OLED predecessor. We couldn’t have predicted the scale of these improvements, though – or how well they’d be controlled by Samsung’s latest AI processor

The Samsung S95C redefines the capabilities of Quantum Dot OLED, pushing this new display technology to greater levels of performance. The increased brightness and improved tone mapping deliver some of the best high dynamic range we’ve ever seen, and when combined with class-leading processing and exceptional image accuracy, the result is a 4K TV that sets the OLED bar very high indeed.

The Samsung S95C takes quantum dot OLED to the next level and delivers stunning 4K HDR images but costs a lot more than its S90C stablemate

The Samsung S95C OLED TV is a premium and well-rounded TV that impressed in our benchmark testing across-the-board. Upgrades compared to the previous-gen model show Samsung is taking OLED seriously, plus the set is great for gamers.
