Our Verdict

Samsung S95D OLED

Samsung S95C OLED

The Samsung S95D OLED is very similar to the Samsung S95C OLED. The S95D has better color volume, so it can display colors in HDR brighter, and it does a bit better with upscaling and low-quality content smoothing, so DVDs and lower-quality streams look better on it. The S95D is also brighter overall, but the main difference comes down to the matte screen finish used on the S95D. The S95D is almost completely free from glare when used in a bright room, but the matte coating negatively impacts picture quality in a room with lights on, so blacks appear gray. On the other hand, The S95C has better SDR pre-calibration accuracy, so if you care about an accurate SDR image without needing calibration, the S95C is the better choice.
