The S95B QD-OLED TVs from South Korea were an exciting shakeup for the consumer market and gave the likes of Sony and LG some long-awaited competition. Only the 55 and 65-inch models were available in the S95B series. It is new technology.
We are going bigger a year after that. The new S95C QD-OLED TV will have a larger 77-inch model. This was the obvious thing to do since every TV maker claims that consumers are choosing larger and larger sets.
The QD-OLED panel marked a legitimate improvement over conventionalOLED in terms of color luminosity and perceived brightness, and the S95B was a wonderful TV. With its share of software bugs, but also with the release of many updates and fixes for its firstOLED TV in years, SAMSUNG has dealt with its share of issues. Customers received TVs that were slightly bent.
It looks like the S95C will be even brighter than the S95B, and it will use less power. The new 77-inch display was put through some tests and was impressed by its potential.

The S95C is one of the best gaming TVs on the market. The response time is the same, but the advantage of having Microsoft's cloud gaming app on its Tizen OS is not lost. The software hasn't reached other TVs.
With a 0.1- millisecond response time and up to 144Hz refresh rate, S95C eliminates ghosting – on- screen blurs when images fade rather than completely disappearing — and offers calibration and visualization options not found on other televisions. The S95C’s cloud gaming support with Gaming Hub is peerless, from the world’s first 4K support for NVIDIA GeForce NOW to availability of Microsoft Xbox, Utomik, and Amazon Luna.
The company claims that for the first time on anOLED TV, there is a freesync premium pro certification. It is a war of certifications and buzzwords between the two companies, and one thing you won't get from them is Dolby Vision gaming.
The sound of the S95C is top notch. It has a 70 watt amplifier and 4.2.2 channel speaker setup. Over the next few weeks and months, pricing and availability information should be available. I would expect the company to keep the prices the same as last year. I'm curious as to what that 77-inch model will sell for.
