Our take on the Samsung OLED S95H Series

The Samsung S95H is an OLED 4K smart TV sold in a 48-inch flat panel. OLED gives it per-pixel light control, so blacks are true black and contrast is very high, which is the main draw over Samsung's own Neo QLED sets. It supports high refresh rates up to 165 Hz, HDR, Wi-Fi, Ethernet and Bluetooth, and it runs Samsung's Tizen smart platform with the usual streaming apps. It suits people who want deep blacks and wide viewing angles in a smaller room, and who accept OLED's lower peak brightness than a bright QLED in a sunlit room.

Questions and answers

Is OLED worth it over Samsung's QLED TVs?

OLED gives per-pixel contrast and near-perfect blacks, which QLED cannot match. QLED is brighter, so pick OLED for dark rooms and QLED for very bright ones.

Is 165 Hz useful for gaming?

Yes, if you have a console or PC that outputs high frame rates. The panel can show up to 165 Hz, so motion is smoother than on 60 Hz sets.

What is in the box?

The TV, a stand, a remote and a power cable. A wall mount is not included; the set uses a 300 x 200 mm VESA pattern.

Does it support HDR?

Yes, it supports High Dynamic Range, so HDR films and games show more highlight and shadow detail.

Can I connect it by cable and wirelessly?

Yes. It has Ethernet and Wi-Fi for networking and Bluetooth for pairing soundbars, headphones and other devices.

Should I worry about burn-in?

OLED can retain static images over long periods. Vary content and avoid leaving news tickers or game HUDs on for hours.
