The S95B has perfect black uniformity and wide viewing angles, benefiting dark room performance. If you prioritize gaming, movies, and are okay with a higher price, the S95B may suit you. If you want a TV that handles bright rooms more effectively at a slightly lower cost, consider the QN90C. Give Feedback

The Samsung S95B (OLED) is excellent for cartoons & animation, while the Samsung QN90C (LCD) is very good.
The Samsung S95B (OLED) offers superior color performance straight out of the box and a wider color gamut, which is why it is excellent for cartoons and animation, while the Samsung QN90C (LCD) has slightly less impressive color qualities making it very good for the same content. The QN90C, however, has better SDR brightness, which can be advantageous for viewing in well-lit rooms, but the S95B's perfect black levels provided by its OLED panel might result in richer, more vivid colors preferred for animated content.

The Samsung QN90C (LCD) is best in class for bright room, while the Samsung S95B (OLED) is very good.
The Samsung QN90C (LCD) is the best fit for bright rooms due to its superior SDR and HDR brightness, which ensures the picture remains visible even in well-lit environments, and its excellent reflection handling, reducing the impact of ambient light on the screen. While the Samsung S95B (OLED) offers the best reflections handling, enhancing visibility in bright rooms, it has lower SDR and HDR brightness compared to the QN90C, meaning it might not be as bright, which can be a factor in very sunny rooms.

Although they have very similar scores, PerfectRec considers Samsung S95B (OLED) to be excellent for news, talk, & other TV, while the Samsung QN90C (LCD) is very good.
The Samsung QN90C offers excellent upscaling and SDR brightness, which are very important for watching news and TV programs in well-lit rooms, while its color accuracy out of the box is rated slightly lower, which affects color portrayal. Conversely, the Samsung S95B provides an outstanding out-of-box color experience and a wider color gamut which ensures vivid and accurate rendering of news and talk shows, but its SDR brightness is not as strong as the QN90C, which may be a limitation in very bright rooms.

Business Insider
Steven Cohen | March 2023
"Samsung's S95B is easily one of the best high-end 4K TVs on the market. S95B is able to achieve industry-leading color performance and a brighter screen than typical OLEDs. In fact, the display's OLED color coverage is nearly in a class of its own. The S95B is a beautiful TV, even when it's off. The display has a pleasing, minimalist design with nearly bezel-less borders and an impressively thin profile."
