Samsung S95H OLED Review
A superb flagship OLED with elite brightness and gaming, tempered by price, audio and software compromises.
At a Glance
Samsung S95H combines very high QD-OLED brightness, effective glare reduction and exceptional gaming connectivity. Its core picture performance is outstanding, but weak built-in sound, busy Tizen presentation and high pricing are meaningful drawbacks that should be weighed against that strength.
