Samsung’s new flagship S95C OLED 4KTV boosts the brightness and brings advanced AI control for a premium viewing experience. S amsung entered the OLED arena in 2022 with the S95B and the result was a OLED EXCELLENCE FROM SAMSUNG

quantum leap forward for 4K’s most prestigious display panel, combining the quantum dot tech of QLEDTVs with OLED’s self-lit pixels to deliver virtually limitless contrast, improved brightness and colour gamut. The S95B was perfection to our eyes, but its 2023 successor, the C95C, actually improves on an already stellar OLED with greater brightness and AI control over colour mapping and 4K upscaling. Available in 55”, 65”, and 77”

SOUNDALLAROUND Inbuilt speakers are positioned in the rear of the set, including upward firing ones to create an immersive soundscape for Dolby Atmos content. Adaptive Sound mode will detect a room’s ambient noise level and conveniently adjust and amplify volume and dialogue accordingly. Should you want to add a

sensor conveniently detects the brightness of the room and adjusts the picture to suit. Eye Comfort mode further tweaks brightness, reducing it and blue light exposure after dark for viewing that’s easier on the peepers. Motion Rate 200 ensures fast moving action scenes and sports aren’t compromised by blur or judder, and gamers will experience ultra-smooth play via a high 4K 144Hz refresh rate and HDMI 2.1 connectivity. OLED is also celebrated for its ultra-wide viewing angles, and with the S95C, every seat is the best one in the room, with consistent contrast and brightness levels wherever you’re sitting. CENTRAL INTELLIGENCE The Neural Quantum Processor 4K is the brain of the TV that scans and analyses source content for precise upscaling to 4K, as well as controlling contrast enhancement and colour mapping. Moreover, native 4K content is beautifully enhanced using HDR/HDR10+.

models, its slim design makes it an easy fit for your desired room, with the option to mount it flush to a wall using a Slim Fit Wall Mount (sold separately).

Samsung soundbar (see page 40 for one to match), Q-Symphony synchronises the TV speakers with it, and Atmos audio is transmitted wirelessly. SMART STUFF The built-in SmartThings app lets you integrate the TV into a smart home ecosystem for direct control of compatible devices using Bixby and Alexa voice assistants. It’s also compatible with Google Assistant and Apple Airplay 2, and Workspace mode offers multitasking on a big screen with a compatible PC. ONE BOX TO RULE ITALL Say goodbye to unsightly cable tangles with all-in-one connection via the One Connect Box, which links external devices and power to the TV using a single 2.5m cable. This is particularly beneficial when wall mounting.

Let’s take a closer look at the key features on offer…

PICTURE PERFECT OLED tech is renowned for its self illuminating pixels, and the S95C has over eight million of them! As well as adding quantum dot tech, the other point of difference to traditional OLEDs is the use of an RGB (red, green, blue) sub-pixel system to optimise brightness, sans the white sub-pixel used in its counterparts. This 2nd Gen QD-OLED is also 20-30 per cent brighter than its predecessor, and Adaptive Picture tech means there’s no more fiddling with brightness levels – an inbuilt
