OLED OR FAUX-LED? - Samsung QN95C

June 2023

With double the dimming zones of last year’s model, this mini-LED marvel looks more like an OLED

Designed to compete with the best OLED TVs, the Samsung QN95C is a major evolutionary step for non-OLED technology. At its heart is an upgraded mini-LED backlight system and, combined with Quantum Dots for purer colours and peerless Al-enhanced processing, the result is a smart TV capable of superb images.

The Samsung QN95C uses the company's Infinity One design, which sports a contemporary finish and sleek styling. The Infinity Screen is bezelless, the build quality excellent, and the elegant angled stand provides solid support while having a smaller footprint for narrower surfaces.

The most obvious difference from the earlier S95B model is that Samsung has dropped the One Connect Box, and instead builds the QN95C's connections into the rear of the panel. Presumably this is for cost-benefit reasons, but it's a shame because the box was a clever idea and unique to Samsung (and still supported elsewhere in the company's line-up).
