For 2023, Samsung is venturing a little further into the vibrant blue waters of QD-OLED with a two-model range, of which this S95C is the flagship model. The S95C boasts second-generation QD-OLED tech that promises vastly higher peak brightness and greater durability. It also has a One Connect box to keep cables away from the display and, to these eyes, is one of the most stylish overall designs of any TV on the market.

In theory, this is Samsung properly delivering on the promise of QD-OLED, and it’s fair to say it is one of the most technically capable TVs we have tested.

Last year’s S95B is one of the most strikingly thin TVs ever made, with the vast majority of its chassis being just a couple of millimetres thick, This flagship S95Cspeakers. This uniformly thin design has been achieved by moving all of the connections – including power – to an external ‘One Connect’ box, which, when positioned away from the set will mean just one, brilliantly slim cable running to the TV. All told, this is a gorgeous design. The gap between the worst-looking and best-looking OLED TVs isn’t a big one, but the S95C is decidedly one of the latter.
