The Korean giant equips its two premium televisions in the S95B range with a panel that combines its quantum dots (QD for Quantum Dot) with Oled technology to offer never-before-seen images. A successful merger and all the more attractive as the two models benefit from up to €1,000 reduction during this Black Friday 2022.
The S95B range has two television models: the 55-inch QE55S95B (140 cm diagonal), sold for €2,089, and the 65-inch QE65S95B (165 cm diagonal), the price of which is around €3,000. They both share this exceptional panel which combines quantum dots with OLED technology and which offers 4K with variable refresh ranging from 48 hertz (Hz) to 120 Hz. And good news for this Black Friday period: the QE55S95B drops to €1,499 while the QE65S95B collapses to less than €2,000. A great deal for those looking for a TV with the best display technology at the end of 2022.
Clearly, the 55-inch model gets all the attention, as it offers arguably the best price-to-screen size ratio. To an exceptional television, an exceptional note! It is therefore logical that the Digital Laboratory awarded the Samsung QE55S95B the maximum score of 5 starsat the end of his test.
The experts thus note an unprecedented image quality, peaks of luminosity rare for OLED and an ultra-efficient anti-reflection system. The quality of the audio system Dolby Atmos is also highlighted, as is the rich connectivity of four HDMI 2.1 inputs.

As for the remote control equipped with a rechargeable battery and a solar panel, it lightens the carbon footprint of this premium TV a bit. In addition, it sports three direct keys leading to Netflix, Premium Video et Disney+. As often with Samsung, this product will successfully appeal to different audiences and movie buffs and video game enthusiasts will be able to take advantage of this screen.
Unprecedented image quality
At first glance, the viewing angles of the S95B televisions are excellent, no variation in brightness is noticeable. They are supported by an anti-reflective treatment which allows you to place your TV near a window without being bothered by the reflections of the sun. The colors turn out to be faithful and vivid, a feat due to the combination of QD and OLED technologies within the same slab. OLED obliges, the contrast is seen as infinite and the blacks, of an abyssal depth.

In addition, the Neural Quantum Processor 4K chip, real conductor of more than 8 million pixels is powered by artificial intelligence. It relies on eight independent neural networks to manage upscaling, reduce digital noise, smooth textures and make the image as attractive as possible. Additionally, the QE55S95B supports HDR 10, HLG and HDR10+ with flawless rendering.
Finally, for video game aficionados, Samsung drops latency to under 10 milliseconds that is approximately one frame behind the source, which remains imperceptible for the player. Like its predecessors, the television embeds the service of Cloud Gaming of the Xbox and allows you to indulge in the hits of the Microsoft console… without a console!
Full eyes and full ears
Sound too often remains the poor relation of Smart TVs. Samsung seems to have found the parade with the sound system of its S95B range which offers a Dolby Atmos most striking wireless. It consists of three pairs of speakers of 10 watts each, all housed in its back:
- Two speakers face the ceiling to handle high frequencies and Atmos effects.
- Two others are found in a lateral position and ensure, among other things, the clarity of the voices.
- The remaining two, facing the ground, act as a subwoofer.

The overall rendering, which impresses above all with the depth of its bass, proves very efficient and offers a wide coverage of the sound spectrum. Compatible with Samsung technology, Q-Symphonyit is possible for those who want a fuller sound to add a sound bar.
When sleek design rhymes with repairability
If it can of course be fixed to the wall, the QE55S95B will fit easily on many TV cabinets. Indeed, its overall depth measures only 28.8 cm. Its slab measures less than 4 mm thick and the back box which contains the electronics and the connectors (with a particularly successful cable cover) is 4 cm.
Fingers, the device exhibits a high-end finish, especially on the back of the slab which has an anodized aluminum effect. The back case benefits from an excellent matte black plastic. All of this reinforces the feeling of having a premium television.

Samsung takes over the challenge of combining clean design and great repairability and the index of this model then reaches 8.2/10. The manufacturer undertakes to produce spare parts for the next seven years and to deliver them as quickly as possible. The price of these parts is very interesting since it has been rated 8.5/10, ratings which are a guarantee of reliability.
