For a premium price, the Samsung S95B offers exceptional picture quality, particularly in dark rooms, and excels in gaming experiences. It boasts better viewing angles and reflection handling, which could be preferred if you often watch TV with a group or in bright rooms. On the other hand, the TCL R655 is less expensive and offers good overall picture quality, particularly impressive brightness for SDR content and capability in gaming. However, it might not perform as well in bright rooms compared to the Samsung and its viewing angles aren't as wide, which could be a drawback for group viewing or if you have a wide seating arrangement.

The Samsung S95B (OLED) is very good for sports, while the TCL R655 (LCD) is only fair.
The Samsung S95B is excellent for sports due to its superb motion processing and fast response time, ensuring clear fast-action scenes with minimal blur, while the wide viewing angles and effective reflections handling maintain a good view from different positions and in various lighting conditions. However, the TCL R655, while still good, falls short in motion processing, slower response time, more narrow viewing angles, and less capable reflections handling, which can impact the clarity of sports content and viewing flexibility across different seating positions.

The Samsung S95B (OLED) is excellent for gaming, while the TCL R655 (LCD) is very good.
The Samsung S95B is exceptional for gaming due to its best-in-class response time and low input lag, which ensure quick screen updates and minimal delay between your actions and what is displayed.

The Samsung S95B (OLED) is excellent for cartoons & animation, while the TCL R655 (LCD) is very good.
The Samsung S95B OLED is excellent for watching cartoons and animation due to its perfect black levels that enhance contrast and its incredibly wide color gamut that makes colors pop right out of the box. The TCL R655, while very good for cartoons and animation, falls slightly short due to its LCD technology, which doesn't quite match the S95B's performance in black uniformity and color richness, despite offering strong SDR brightness and color volume.

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."

Parker Hall | January 2023
"It has an excellent Roku interface, isn’t too expensive, has quantum dots and mini LED backlighting, and looks genuinely fantastic playing everything. If you’re in the market for a new TV, you should still start here. Gamers will like that it has a 120-Hz refresh rate at 4K, which is the maximum that a modern Xbox or Playstation 5 will put out—meaning the smoothest possible gaming and sports viewing in general. We’re no longer in the days of having to spend over $1,000 and spending a few hours on setup for decent black levels and great color accuracy and HDR"

About Samsung
Samsung, a South Korean electronics manufacturer, holds the title of being the largest global TV vendor in terms of units sold. They offer a diverse lineup of TV products that cater to various budget ranges. A notable achievement in recent years is the development of Quantum Dots, a technology that enhances color reproduction, resulting in richer and more vibrant hues. Samsung TVs are well-regarded for their high manufacturing quality and user-friendly software, making them an excellent choice for consumers seeking an intuitive viewing experience.
About TCL
TCL, the highly recognizable TV brand from China, has firmly established itself as the second-largest manufacturer in terms of sales volume. Renowned for striking an impressive balance between affordability, picture quality, and design, TCL TVs deliver a compelling overall package. While they have traditionally excelled in the low-end and midrange TV segments, TCL has recently made remarkable strides in the realm of high-end televisions, introducing impressive models that rival top competitors. Most TCL TVs use Roku software which is very user friendly and easy to use, but they have a few other models that use Google TV which has the largest app selection, but is not as user friendly as Roku.
