Our Verdict

Samsung S95C OLED

Samsung S90D OLED

The Samsung S95C OLED and the Samsung S90D OLED are very similar, but there are some minor differences. The S90D has better processing, so there's less banding in colors and fewer artifacts present in low-quality content, and it does a slightly better job at upscaling low-resolution content. The S90D is also a tad brighter in HDR, so highlights pop a little bit more on it. However, the S95C comes with Samsung's Slim One Connect Box, so if you need a versatile way to plug in your devices, it's the better option.
