Samsung S95D OLED First Look | Way Better Than You Think

Folks passing judgement on the Samsung S95D OLED TV may be getting ahead of themselves. Based on what I'm seeing, the anti-glare filter on Samsung's flagship 4K OLED TV is all benefit, no drawbacks. Forget what you think you know about what anti-glare treatments does to picture quality, because this TV doesn't follow the rules.

Oh, and as a bonus: Samsung is tossing in a free 65-inch TV to anyone who pre-orders the S95D within the first three weeks of its coming out, links below.

Hey everyone! Just want to make it clear that this TV will get the full treatment in the review (which, at the risk of over-repeating myself, this video is not). I wish you guys could see how brutal we were with the lighting in this video. — or more to the point, I wish you could see how our brutal lightning techniques would have made other TVs un-viewable in comparison. I think that’s something we will show in our review, which will require the purchase of at least one new studio light. 😂😂😂

I already ordered one last week. The free 65" TV showed up right away. The S95D will be here Monday. Thanks for making me feel like I haven't made a terrible mistake.

The free TV is a TU690T. A really low end model. Giving it to my mom.

[jbones]

Another great video. But I’m hoping you get some time with their Samsung 98” model. Hoping they come out with an improved model this year.

I ended up pulling the trigger on Sony A95L last month. Excited to see how far QD-OLED tech goes

[johnniejohnson]

Beautiful TV I would love to have either this Samsung or the 95 series Sony I am old but I still love gaming and both looks like they would be the perfect TVs

[Johnnytrades]

Of course, I just bought a s90c 77 inch 3 weeks ago. The D series sounds like a big upgrade from the C. If I didnt get such a great price on the S90c, (2K) I think I would have some buyers remorse. Looking forward to your review!

What about motion? Don’t like soap opera effect.
Also curious about
Gaming
Dolby vision
Most natural looking and close to intended picture. Samsung phones are known for oversaturations
Total quality and lifespan expectations
Connections and connections speed
Waiting for total review
End of this year want to replace my c7 for maybe lg g series but always good to see others. Sony looks good too but expensive and not much hdmi2.1 connections.

[SaithusX]

Man this thing is expensive!!!! Phew... Jesus Lord that's a lot of money!! $4k for the 77". $2500 for the 55". My lord....

[godspeedmaximus]

What does the screen look like when it’s off? It’s always bothered me that QD-OLED has those purple/pink reflections compared to WOLED. Does the anti-glare coating make the screen look more “black”?

[joseluisburgos]

good information, friend I have a question what kind of panel does this smart tv QNC85 65 IPS, ADS OR VA have? COULD I CLEAR THIS DOUBT AND THANK YOU

[jean-philipperottiers]

But why oh why does Samsung stubbornly refuse to support DV? 😢

[spencergates]

I'm a sales associate at Best Buy. We have the S95D set up right next to the S90C, QN85C, and Q80C, and it looks TERRIBLE! The color and contrast are completely washed out! They're all in the same retail setting, and even comparing to the QN90D and QN900D which are a bit farther away, with the same exact settings the S95D just looks SO BAD! Maybe Samsung was glamming this up for you, but next to a bunch of other TVs it DOES NOT hold up.

[jasonhatter]

Any idea what the technology behind this anti-glare tech is? Is it something you expect to see in other Samsung models or from competitors? I currently have a Samsung QLED that is a few years old and I HATE the Tizen OS. It is not quick and is often glitchy. I have an extremely bright room, so I would be very interested in something with great anti-glare, but it would be hard for me to stay with Samsung simply because of the OS.

[luiss.]

Does anyone have any recommendation for a calibrator in the Los Angeles area? For the S95D

[swagMan]

I wonder what's the 4th tv will be?

[buschg]

I'm still using my s95b, and samung continuing to improve is awesome

[neocitron]

Have this in my store showroom already setup next to last year’s s95C both 77”. There’s no way when you see both side by side you’d say the anti glare hurts the tv in any real way and for those stray lights, lamps, smart speakers or whatever that happen to bounce off a glossy screen? You’ll never worry again. Black is still black.

First comment: BUT NO DOLBY VISION 😢😢😢

So tedious. Dolby Vision is nowhere near as important as some people seem to think it is

[jonathane]

Hey Caleb, can you tell us if the S95D Gen 3 panel beats the Sony A95L Gen 2 one?

[jaycoleman]

Great video! Would love a deep dive of this, and even a somewhat comparison between S95D and S95C, OR maybe just the highlight differences, thanks!
