HDTVTest’s Vincent Teoh shared a detailed review of the Samsung S95C TV, saying that Samsung is following LG’s 2020 CX WOLED disinformation campaign with a 40 Gbps HDMI 2.1 port.

This also explains the feedback from some S95C TV users that they experience signal loss when connecting to a PC to display and output HDR content. The main reason is that the 40 Gbps transmission rate is not enough to support the transmission of 10-bit 4:4:4 4K video at 144Hz.

Teoh believes the restriction applies to last year’s QN95B QLED TV, as well as all models equipped with the One Connect external box. The QN95C and S90C TV models without an external box are not affected by this issue.

The QD-OLED Smart TV S95C is now on sale at the Samsung US website.

The 55-inch version starts at $1,499 and the 65-inch version is priced at $1,799. The 55-inch and 65-inch versions of the S95C are slightly more expensive than LG’s previous generation C2 OLED TV.

The 65-inch version is still cheaper than LG’s G2 OLED TV. The 77-inch version of the S95C is the largest size users can buy, and the price is as high as $4499.99. That’s nearly $1,000 more than LG’s G2 77-inch.

Samsung’s new S95C QD-OLED smart TV is not yet available for sale, but it pops up on the Samsung USA portal when visitors use the search term “OLED.

Clicking on the 77-inch S95C entry in the OLED listings prompts “page not found,” which means Samsung is not ready to sell the TV. But nevertheless, the listing entry is still there and shows exactly the TV’s price.

The listing on Samsung’s website indicates that the 77-inch S95C TV is priced at $4499.99 (currently about RMB 30,510). However, the price of the 77-inch S90C model or the smaller QD-OLED 2023 model is still unknown.

The S95C is the top of the line, while the S90C should be more affordable since the latter doesn’t have Samsung One Connect box capabilities and uses OTS Lite instead of OTS Plus Sound. so the other 2023 QD-OLED TVs in the lineup will cost less than $4499.

Samsung says the new QD-OLED panels feature an updated OLED HyperEfficient EL material (applied to the blue light-emitting layer) and IntelliSense AI, and that the 2023 QD-OLED TVs can reach a peak brightness of 2,000 nits, comparable to Mini-LED TVs and LG’s latest OLED TVs. Samsung says the new material increases the brightness of each color in RGB.

The 2023 QD-OLED TVs are still expected to come with Samsung’s Tizen OS operating system with support for SmartThings, Samsung Health, Bixby, Alexa, AirPlay 2, HDR10+, Tap View, Tap Sound and more.
