Samsung QE65QN95D

Astrong performing Mini LED set with a few frustrating quirks.

- 

The QN95D is Samsung's flagship 4K Neo-QLED model for 2024. It's among a group of rather prestigious colleagues - the S95D and QN900D are its 4K OLED and 8K Neo-QLED counterparts and both are five-star stunners.

At £3299, the 65in QN95D is certainly priced as a flagship TV. It looks practically identical to the QN95C it is replacing, and features Samsung's 'Infinity One' design, so the bezels around the screen are slim and modern-looking, with metallic-looking edges that give the TV a premium feel. The set is much thinner than some notable Mini LED TVs we have seen recently, while it has a centrally mounted pedestal that connects to a rectangular metal base plate - or you can wall mount using the TV's 400 x 400mm standard VESA mounting points.

A host of Al-powered features

If you're unfamiliar with Neo QLED, this is simply Samsung's term for combining a Mini LED backlight with Quantum Dots.

It's a 4K VA LCD panel with 1344 separately controlled zones on this 65in model.

Samsung has also included its wide viewing-angle technology to ensure that the picture looks consistent across a variety of viewing positions.

Samsung's Neo Quantum 4K AI Gen 2 Processor is shared with the S95D and, as well as playing an integral role in the backlight's local dimming function, powers a host of AI-led features.

The AI Gen 2 processor has more than 20 separate neural networks that it can tap into, which play a key role in upscaling SD and 1080p content to 4K and provide an enhanced three-dimensional effect to images through the Real Depth Enhancer Pro system. Samsung also includes its Auto HDR remastering feature, which means the TV will attempt to convert SDR content into HDR.
