At least, that's what I witnessed while watching movies like Dune and James Bond: No Time to Die on the set in 4K. Pair those scores with blacks look perfectly nuanced in HDR with minimal crushing, solving one of our top concerns with the previous version. That’s nothing short of fantastic for an OLED TV. We recorded a 30% improvement, from 1,010 nits to nearly 1,370 nits in the same 10% in standard mode with HDR content. Samsung had said the S95C was brighter when I first checked it out at CES 2023, but didn’t specify how much. The Samsung S95C OLED TV tested a Delta-E accuracy score of 1.4 (with closer to 0 being best) in Filmmaker mode, which typically provides the most accurate picture out-of-the-box.īut HDR brightness is where we found one of the biggest improvements between the Samsung S95B OLED vs. Specs aside, our testing was where the set really impressed.
The S95C also came in a new 77-inch size, and it sported an exciting 144Hz refresh rate. For example, the convenient cable-managing One Connect box moved to the OLED TV.
Samsung created a clearer distinction between its OLED TVs and Neo QLED TVs in 2023. And perhaps that ultimately worked to the TV's advantage. In other words, I didn't have the highest expectations for the S95C when it landed on our bench.
