We’ve always seen an onslaught of new TVs and TV tech from Samsung during CES, and this time is no different. There are many announcements, but we suspect that the most coveted product for TV enthusiasts is the new one Samsung S95C QD OLED TVnow available in sizes up to 77 inches.
Potential buyers asked for this 77-inch diagonal since last year’s model maxed out at 65 inches. Samsung has heard the requests and now you can get your wallets ready. 77 inches is a sweet spot for the size/price ratio and that’s what I would pick if I were to upgrade my TV today.
Our co-founder Eliane Fiolet attended Samsung’s CES media event “First Look” and visually confirmed that the picture quality of this Quantum Dot (QD) OLED TV was outstanding, as one would expect.
It’s hard to judge without exact measurements or confirmed specs, but the new S95C panel seems even brighter than the S95B. However, a trade show is hardly the place to learn nuanced differences and we await further information and independent reviews. It’s quite unusual to set the brightness to 100%, so while that’s easy to tell, it’s ultimately not a factor for us.
Samsung’s QD OLED has built its reputation for image quality, and it’s fair to remind people that under certain high-contrast conditions, QD OLED has better color accuracy (as intended by the content creator) than wRGB OLED panels like z LG’s.
A wRGB bitmap has a white sub-pixel in addition to the traditional RGB sub-pixels, hence the names. White pixels helped boost the peak brightness of OLED panels, which is often a weak point compared to non-OLED technologies. However, W pixels can only help so much before degrading color quality as their brightness can overwhelm the combined RGB luminosity and wash things out slightly.
At the back of the TV is a 70-watt Dolby Atmos speaker system that aims to make the sound as ‘big’ as the picture. Compared to many internal TV sound systems, this seems like an excellent sound system.
Watching movies should be an amazing experience, but so is gaming. Samsung’s panel supports 144 Hz and is compatible with AMD’s FreeSync Premium Pro. And Samsung is integrated gaming hub supports many game streaming partners, notably Xbox and GeForce Now.
What’s not to like? I didn’t find anything obvious I didn’t like. The price remains a mystery for now, but looking at the past, Samsung tends to keep prices stable for established product lines, so we’re not too worried about a price shock for now.
