The company's second attempt at QD-OLED is the Samsung S95C OLED. For PC gamers, Samsung is aiming for a bigger screen size this time around (77 inches as opposed to the 65- and 55-inch variants we saw last year) and a higher refresh rate of 144Hz.


Samsung is putting more emphasis on design this time around, despite the fact that the firm hasn't been very transparent about the performance upgrades made to the TV. For example, the Samsung S95C has a front-to-back thickness of just 10 mm and will come with the company's own OneConnect Box to assist conceal connections.


Price and Release 


The price of the new 77-inch QD-OLED screen is $4,449.99 right now. Given how cheaply LG is selling its OLED devices, this high sticker price is difficult to overlook. A 77-inch version of the LG C2 OLED from last year, one of the greatest Televisions of 2022, is currently available for $2,499 less.


Sure, the Samsung S95C uses QD-OLED rather than LG's OLED panels—the layer of quantum dots in the Samsung OLED models is the difference—but $2,000 is a significant sum of money in today's market, so it would be worthwhile to use a little bit older display technology to save some money.


Design


After an in-depth discussion about the Samsung S95C with a Samsung official, it appears that design will be the area of most advancement in 2023. This year, the TV will not only be thinner (by only 10mm), but it will also come in larger screen sizes.


There is no doubt that consumers are demanding larger Televisions, thus Samsung is making a wise decision by doing this.


The addition of the OneConnect Box, which enables you to connect all your gadgets in one location rather than slithering them behind the Screen, is another new component to the jigsaw. This is a significant benefit if your home entertainment centre's appearance is important to you.

Performance


The new Samsung QN95C was next to the S95C OLED when we first saw it. The QN95C was clearly the brighter of the two, although overall performance was quite close to that of the QN95C.


Both Televisions produced bright, clear, and colourful images that were very clear in their depictions of the intricacies of the items on the screen. This is mostly due to picture processing, which explains why the two Televisions appear to be so identical when seen from a distance. Both TVs use Samsung's newest Neural Quantum Processor.


The compatibility for a 144Hz refresh rate when connected to a gaming Computer, however, is big news for gamers. The functionality was acquired from Samsung's efforts in that area and is the most frequent refresh rate observed on gaming monitors. We could be looking at one of the greatest gaming televisions of the year if we combine that refresh rate with AMD's FreeSync Premium Pro.
