Our Verdict
Samsung QN95C QLED
Samsung QN85D
The Samsung QN95C QLED is a bit better than the Samsung QN85D. They're very similar, but the QN95C has the edge in almost every category; it gets brighter in HDR and SDR, it has better reflection handling, a wider viewing angle, better black uniformity, and can do up to 4k @ 144Hz while the QN85D is limited to 120Hz.
