Wow! I’m impressed with the built quality and technological advancement Samsung has to offer with the S95B. Coming from the LG CX OLED TV, I found myself immediately blown away. The produced images are crisp, bright and colorful. Unmatched by current screens in the same arena in my honest opinion. This is true for gaming, watching movies, or enjoying my own recorded footage on Plex. With a screen as bright and vivid as this, Dolby vision is a joke. Streaming movies never looked more intense, lively as this does. I can see clearly people skin tune. Nothing speaks more volume than seeing someone’s face being vividly reflected in a scene of happiness, frustration or anger. It feels good to be able to enjoy my own camping, bicycling, and amateur videos. Makes it worth it.

I’m pleased to report that gaming on this gorgeous screen is a must have. Flames, sparks, and casting spells are on another level. I have been glued on playing my favorite games. Halo, Call of duty hasn’t look this amazing. Can’t wait to play future games coming out this year. Harry potter, Forspoken and S.T.A.L.K.E.R. are all going to be around the corner.

I’m happy with the screen UI and were it currently stands. Initial prompts was easy to follow and could not be more friendlier. The main screen and navigation blends in a mixer of traditional & modern look. Home screen does offer a lot, I like that it gives me lots options to choose from. The remote control just complements it well. Nothing feels lacking. Knowing that this just the start, I know it will only get better over time.

Every TV out there may have an area for improvement, although some would perceive the home screen to be sluggish, unfinished, it is actually fine. Better get it now before it is sold out, you will not be disappointed!

Great for console gaming!

I mainly bought this TV for use with my PS5 and Series X and I'm actually impressed. I seriously couldn't be happier. Compared to my last TV which was a 2019 M series Vizio QLED, I'd say this was a huge upgrade for me. That TV had noticeable motion artifacts and motion blur when panning the camera with the right thumbstick but this TV doesn't display any of that! Gaming so far has been smooth and the picture really is nice and sharp. Seeing videos on YouTube about this TV's picture quality doesn't do this tv justice and you have to see it in person to really appreciate it. I could care less about accuracy as I won't be watching too many movies on it but watching some content such as Netflix and Disney Plus has been good. There have been exaggerated claims on this TV saying that it has oversaturated colors but I found if you set the color space in the picture settings to "auto" instead of native, you get colors in accordance with the source provided and not to the TVs maximum color capabilities which made the picture a bit better in that aspect. However regardless of the color space settings, do not set the color more than 20-25 (out of 50) as this will prevent over-saturation in colors and give you a more natural look to your picture to whatever the source is. Still have to tweak some settings but so far it's been good. If you're looking for a TV with vibrant colors, deep blacks, high brightness (also in colors), fast response time, low input lag, care less about the accuracy, and just want to game, this is the TV for you I promise. If you're looking for a TV with a more accurate picture and plan to watch tons of movies and TV shows then I'd suggest something else. I highly recommend this TV for the gamers out there console and PC alike. One thing I should note is that my TV came slightly bent which I noticed when I looked on the side of the TV. It's not anything to cry about but still, a little bummed about it. This might of been either a manufacturing issue or mishandling during shipping and transportation. So be careful ordering this TV online with the available delivery options and make sure that the delivery guy or guys are gentle with it when carrying it and unpacking it in your house or apartment. This TV is seriously thin! If you're handling it yourself again be careful.

Absolute Stunning Picture

Reviewed in the United States on February 1, 2023

Size: 65-InchStyle: TV OnlyVerified Purchase

I don't normally write reviews but I wanted to on this purchase as I was actually on the fence about buying this TV because of some of the negative reviews. Wow, I can't believe I almost let them talk me out of it. This TV is absolutely amazing. The picture quality is unlike anything I have ever seen on a home TV. All we do is watch sports and movies and the occasional TV show, so I didn't bother changing the hues, the level of black on the screen, etc., we just wanted a TV we could hang on the wall and work - and man this did the trick. I've had multiple people tell me the same thing about the picture quality who have watched a game with me.

The TV is the thinnest model you have ever seen which makes it super light. It was super easy to hang and getting it up and running was a piece of cake - maybe 8-10 minutes. Even set up Alex to help use it. And, the kicker, although I bought a soundbar, the sound from the TV is actually really good. Now, if you are watching a movie and want better sound I get it, but what it comes with is way better than older models I have purchased.

Granted, I have only used this TV for about a month, but it is absolutely fantastic and completely worth the money. I have no idea how anyone could say anything about a TV if you have bought one more than two years ago - this thing is awesome!

Great picture, but issues.

Reviewed in the United States on January 30, 2023

Size: 65-InchStyle: TV OnlyVerified Purchase

I ordered this tv from Amazon on Dec 16th, I am returning it today Jan 31st. Firstly, the picture was amazing for movies and gaming. I really liked tbe picture quality of this tv.
However, after about 2 weeks i noticed a red band at the bottom. See the attached pic.
I called Samsung support and they came out two weeks later, they say they needed to order a part so i had to wait.
In the meantime, i read online that someone solved this by doing a pixel refresh. I tried, it takes an hour to do, but it worked. 5 days later, the same thing, except this time it's green and covering the whole screen. Again, another pixel refresh solved tbe issue.
Samsung finally arrived and they ended up replacing the entire screen panel. It was under warranty, being a month old.
About two weeks later, I turn on the tv and the whole screen goes red. See the attached pic, and the everything goes black. Every once in a while it will flicker a red patch.
Since the whole screen is dark, i couldn't navigate the menus to try a pixel refresh.
I was going to call Samsung again, but since returning it was still an option, i decided that was the best. Im not sure if all the S95b are like this, but the one i got was obviously a lemon, and i didnt want to take the chance that it wasnt a bigger problem with the S95b in general.

Astounding Picture Quality

Reviewed in the United States on November 3, 2022

Size: 55-InchStyle: TV OnlyVerified Purchase

This display has without a doubt the best picture I have ever seen. I do have some experience with higher end televisions dating all the way back to the Trinitron XBR tube TV's of long ago, and I feel like I paid nearly as much for a 27" version of those as I did for this beauty. I will say that unboxing and set up was a bit unnerving. The TV is so thin that it feels like it would bend if not handled correctly. But all went well. I remember that my first impression was simply WOW. This TV produces nearly perfect black level, amazing color reproduction and contrast like I've never seen before. After a bit of tinkering, I am completely satisfied with the picture, The only downside so far is the Samsung OS. A bit clunky and slow at times to respond, plus some of the picture settings seem to have a mind of their own when changing from standard to HDR viewing...hopefully improved by an upcoming firmware update. I solved this by installing a new 4K Apple TV. Awesome picture and lighting fast OS. I would and have recommended to friends and family.

The panel is fantastic. The Smart TV, much less

Reviewed in the United States on December 30, 2023

Size: 65-InchStyle: TV OnlyVerified Purchase

Honestly I'm only rating this so high since people seem to expect smart TVs to suck, which, yes, they do.

So the actual display is gorgeous. No bent screen issues or anything. But the smart features. Oh my god. I Even got a SAMSUNG fancy soundbar that has exclusive features with this TV. And they don't work, not properly.

EVERY single time the TV is turned off, it switches audio back to soundbar only (not it's special exclusive soundbar + tv speakers for extra drivers mode) and Game Audio mode (arguably, the worst along with Surround Mode. Everyone recommends Standard for accuracy and Adaptive for accurate but extra (fake) surround feeling).

Of course there's ads all over the UI, that's expected but still bad. It also puts my PS5 in the Games section and I can't move it, but my Switch and other HDMI game consoles are in the Media section. It also won't turn OFF when my game consoles turn off, it has to be manually turned off. The included YouTube app is so bad I bought a second Chomecast TV just to avoid it.

Stunning Colors & Contrast, but UI Lags

Reviewed in the United States on August 2, 2023

Size: 65-InchStyle: TV OnlyVerified Purchase

The media could not be loaded.

I recently purchased the Samsung 65-Inch OLED S95B Series TV, and I must say, the picture quality is absolutely mind-blowing! The colors and contrast ratio are the best I've ever seen in a TV. The Quantum HDR technology delivers vivid and lifelike visuals, and the Dolby Atmos and Object Tracking Sound create an immersive audio experience that enhances my movie and gaming sessions.

Pros:

Incredible colors and contrast, deep blacks, and vibrant visuals.
Quantum HDR technology for a breathtakingly realistic picture.
Dolby Atmos and Object Tracking Sound for an immersive audio experience.
However, there's one downside that can't be overlooked - the user interface (UI). Navigating through menus and apps can be a bit challenging, and the UI is slower than expected, especially considering the TV's premium price.

Cons:

UI is a bit challenging and slow.
Requires some time to get used to navigating through menus and apps.
Overall, the Samsung S95B Series TV is a solid choice if you prioritize picture quality above all else. Despite the UI's shortcomings, the stunning display capabilities make up for it. If you're willing to overlook the UI's minor inconveniences, this TV will truly elevate your entertainment experience.

This is an amazing display, colors are so bright

Reviewed in the United States on November 1, 2022

Size: 65-InchStyle: TV OnlyVerified Purchase

I've had this for about a month now.

- I can't get over how great the colors are on this display
- It is amazing how bright it is, even in a fully lit living room. I have a lot of windows in my living room (it's about 40% windows) and it is so bright that I don't have to close the blinds.
- They are not kidding about OLED TVs and the viewing angle. I can (and frequently do) watch this at an 85+% angle view and it looks as good as when I'm in front.

Setup as very easy to do. I recommend downloading the Samsung app on your phone to make it easier, though this is not required.

My only complaint (but not enough to knock off stars) is that the Alexa integration is a little spotty. Giving commands to Alexa is *not* as good as on a FireTV device, not even close. It can't even handle basic command list pause and play reliably. Also, you can't customize the "wake word" away from Alexa so you might have to change your other Echo devices within hearing range. I will be purchasing and using a dedicated FireTV device instead.

I'm very pleased with this purchase and would by it even knowing about the poor Alexa (built-in) integration.

Great tech specs, horrible UX

Reviewed in the United States on October 1, 2023

Size: 65-InchStyle: TV OnlyVerified Purchase

Crazy that I paid almost $2k for this and I'm still forced to see ads all over the UI.

There are dedicated buttons for apps like Disney+ and Samsung TV on the remote, and you can't uninstall/delete the apps. Almost every part of the UX is designed to get you to buy something, whether it's a movie, a streaming service, or a video game. Switching between other apps takes a few button presses.

There's a whole main UI section for gaming on the TV itself using cloud services. Game consoles plugged into the TV won't show up there. If you're an Xbox gamer or a computer gamer whose computer specs are worse than their PC specs this could be nice, but for me it's one more click while I'm scrolling through menu options.

The UI performance is better than most other stock Tizen OS TVs I've tried. System performance is also good. It does lag sometimes, but not as much or as often as I was expecting. I'm hoping the performance keeps up with continued use over time.

All the above issues can be mostly avoided by booting into something like an Android Stick. To some people they're features, but to me it's bloat on top of a technically solid TV.

The TV itself is impressively thin, and there are some built-in cable management features. The picture quality is incredible, and the automatic configuration is pretty good. I manually adjusted some settings, but the defaults will be good enough for most people. The built-in sound quality was also surprisingly good. The remote's main navigation buttons are a bit awkward, but it does have a nice solar charger on the back.

I wish I could have paid less (or more) for the TV without the OS, but this has still been a worthy buy thus far.

Edit after a few months: dropped a star because the UX really is that bad, and the TV is more noticeably laggy now. You forget it's so bad when you're using the TV as a TV, but as soon as you need to interact with the OS you'll question whether you should've used your phone as a TV instead.

only use 7 month, the TV no power on, Amazon CS is rude and Samsung has good customer service

Reviewed in the United States on January 4, 2024

I purchased this TV on MAY OF 2023, today is 01/03/2024 the TV screen is totally black and I tried many method that provided from Amazon instruction and youtube, but just wont turn on anymore. I am very sad for that and called Amazon to ask help for warranty but.....the Amazon customer service not even help me to find the warranty just asked me to contact Samsung.....this is the first time I am very piss off Amazon customer service, that woman should be fired with bas attitude.

Today is 01/08/2024, I want to update my review. I have to say Samsung has good customer service than Amazon. After hang up with Amazon rude customer service women, I went to Samsung website and found my TV registration info; and I saw I still have warranty then I submit the repair request. In the same day the local technician text me and schedule the day to come to my home to repair. After some test, technician decided to take out the back cover and replaced the "power board" and finally my TV go back to functional which only took 20 mins. I decided to update review from the one star to 3 stars because of the good services, also I suggest whoever bought Samsung TV, pls remember to register you TV instantly for the future service under warranty.
