FIRST TEST SAMSUNG QE65S95D
Samsung wicked this way comes
The Korean giant is aiming to scorch past its TV rivals with the S95D, aQD-OLED set that makes big claims about brightness and colour
[ Words Stephen Withers ]
Like a particularly heated game of Hungry Hippos, there’s a four-way battle going on to be top of the telly pops –and Samsung has a pretty hefty appetite.
While Sony, LG and Philips have been fighting it out for the No1 spot, this new QD-OLED, which combines self-emissive blue OLEDs and quantum-dot filters for better brightness and colour, has a plan to sneak in and overtake them all.
It’s the Goldilocks-esque 65in version that’s on test here, but it also comes in 55in and 77in sizes, so you can scale up or down depending on how big your lounge is. They all come packing Samsung’s latest QD-OLED panel, which can hit 1700 nits of brightness and covers a massive 123% of the DCI-P3 colour standard. There’s also an upgraded NQ4 AI Gen2 processor inside that uses 20 individual neural networks and deep-learning algorithms to dig out all the details in every image, while also giving them the kind of depth you’d normally have to visit the bottom of the Mariana Trench for.
