Our Verdict
Samsung S95C OLED
Sharp AQUOS FS1 OLED
The Samsung S95C OLED is better than the Sharp AQUOS FS1 OLED. The Samsung has much better SDR brightness, so it can overcome much more glare in a room with lights on. HDR brightness is also significantly better on the Samsung, so highlights in HDR content pop much more than on the Sharp. The Samsung also has a much wider viewing angle, better pre-calibration accuracy, much less banding, a BFI feature, HDMI 2.1 bandwidth on all four ports, and much better image processing.
