Samsung’s S95F QD-OLED is one of the best TVs we’ve ever tested. Its potent display provides brilliant brightness, vivid colors, and incredible contrast thanks to OLED’s ability to adjust each tiny point of light independently. This TV may be a 2025 model, but it’s still a premium screen, now priced lower than I’ve ever seen it. Right now, a 65-inch model is just $2,198 for Amazon’s Big Spring Deal, a $300 savings from earlier this month.
Samsung’s S95F is different than any of the other best OLED TVs we tested last year because of its distinctive matte screen, which swallows up even direct glare better than any TV I’ve seen. As anyone with a bright living room can attest, that’s an important trait, and while the rival LG G5 provides deeper black levels, even that model can’t match the S95F’s glare reduction. (If you’ve got a darker room, the G5 is still my favorite TV overall.)
Cutting reflections doesn’t matter much if the picture isn’t great, but as Samsung’s flagship display for 2025, this TV delivers. Reviewer Parker Hall praised the S95F’s gorgeous colors and contrast, while its brightness ranks among the best we’ve ever seen for an OLED display, sparring with even many of the best LED TVs, like Sony’s Bravia 9.
The TV matches its top-notch picture quality with a posh design, including a stylish pedestal stand and fancy accessories like a solar-powered remote and Samsung’s One Connect box that lets you connect all your source devices to the TV over a single cable.
While I’m not a huge fan of Samsung’s Tizen smart interface, I do enjoy its built-in gaming hub, which lets you stream games from multiple services directly. The TV’s zippy refresh rate matches up with the latest games and gaming consoles for fluid response. The S95F’s biggest downside is its lack of Dolby Vision HDR (High Dynamic Range) support, something all Samsung TVs lack. You’ll still get good performance, though, with Dolby Vision videos defaulting to standard HDR for impressive contrast and expansive colors.
It all adds up to a sweet package, especially for anyone after a TV that looks as good in the bright sun as it does with the lights down on movie night. At this price, the value is hard to beat, and based on past years, I’d wager we won’t see it much cheaper until the end of the year.
