For a better overall picture quality and perfect blacks, especially when watching movies or gaming, the Samsung S95B (OLED) is an excellent choice. The S95B excels in dark room performance due to its OLED technology, which also allows for wider viewing angles. If you prefer a TV that performs better in bright rooms, the Samsung QN95B (LCD) with its miniLED FALD VA panel may be preferable. It has a higher SDR and HDR brightness, which can combat glare and maintain picture quality in well-lit environments. Both TVs have a premium price and come with great speakers, 4 HDMI ports, and support for HDR gaming and various HDR formats. However, neither supports Dolby Vision. Keep in mind that while OLED screens offer superior contrast and viewing angles, they are also more susceptible to permanent burn-in than LCD screens. Give Feedback

"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."
