If you're looking for a more budget-friendly option, the Samsung Q70A is significantly less expensive and offers good gaming and cartoon viewing experiences.

In contrast, the Samsung QN95B is at a premium price point but provides superior overall picture quality, better performance in both dark and bright rooms, and improved sound quality with great speakers. It's well-suited for watching sports, movies, and using as a monitor with better reflection handling. Consider your budget and viewing preferences when choosing between the two. Give Feedback

The Samsung QN95B (LCD) is very good for movies & TV, while the Samsung Q70A (LCD) is only fair.
The Samsung QN95B delivers a superior movie-watching experience compared to the Q70A, mainly due to its better local dimming feature, higher black uniformity, and improved viewing angles, which help produce deeper blacks and more consistent colors across the screen. While the Q70A provides fair performance, its lack of local dimming and lower black uniformity make it less suited for movies and cinematic content, resulting in less definition in dark scenes and reduced color fidelity at wide angles.

The Samsung QN95B (LCD) is excellent for cartoons & animation, while the Samsung Q70A (LCD) is very good.
The Samsung QN95B is considered excellent for cartoons and animation because it delivers the best possible color quality straight out of the box, which enhances the viewing experience of colorful animated content. Comparatively, the Samsung Q70A, while still providing very good colors out of the box, may not represent animations as vividly due to a slightly less impressive initial color setup and color gamut.

The Samsung QN95B (LCD) is excellent for news, talk, & other TV, while the Samsung Q70A (LCD) is good.
The Samsung Q70A is good for watching news and TV programs due to its high contrast and very good SDR brightness, enhancing visibility in bright rooms, and its capability to upscale lower-resolution content like cable TV well. In comparison, the Samsung QN95B is excellent for the same content due to its superior SDR brightness and very good upscaling quality, coupled with better color performance out of the box, and its miniLED technology providing superior local dimming and contrast, thus offering a more vibrant and detailed picture.
