The QE65QN95B produces the finest picture quality we’ve ever seen from an LCD TV. In fact, if you’re into the sort of brightness levels and color volumes that are currently exclusively the domain of high-end LCD TVs, it’s the finest picture quality of any TV, period.

Samsung QN95B is one of the best LCD TVs on the market but that does not say much nowadays where OLED TVs are taking over the premium segment of the TV market. In our opinion QN95B should be cheaper than any 120Hz OLED TV to be competitive and unfortunately that is not the case.

The QN95B is a very good LCD TV that has some of the best technology on board to make it look as close as possible to a high contrast display, with decent viewing angles and APL that should work in its favour, especially with HDR10 and its peak brightness capabilities. But in doing so and introducing dimming to hide some of the technical limitations of using a backlight (Mini LED or not), it ends up neutering itself when compared to the Samsung S95B QD-OLED as the brightness advantage isn’t as pronounced as it should be.
