After saying no to OLED technology in 2016, mainly due to the risk of TV screen burn-in, this year the TV market leader has finally taken the plunge with the commercialization of the Samsung S95B TV series. However, the latter uses a new OLED technology from Samsung Display, the division of the group’s screen manufacturers, billed as more efficient and safer in terms of marking. What about the claims of the Korean brand? AVCesar.com answers you with the full test of the Samsung QE55S95B model.
Samsung will therefore have waited six long years before releasing OLED TVs. If a first model (KE55S9C) had seen the light at the end of 2013, Samsung had immediately stopped the development of these TVs due to the significant risk of marking and lower light performance compared to LCD TVs. The two causes being intimately linked, the risk of burn-in increases together with the search for a high light peak.
QD Oled technology, in development for some time at Samsung Display
However, the Korean group did not remain with both feet in the same shoe and the R&D division of Samsung Display (the world’s largest manufacturer of OLED screens for smartphones, tablets, monitors, etc.) continued to develop OLED technology adapted to needs of a TV. That is, a relatively high light peak, a high color volume and a (very) low risk of marking. Hence the official presentation of the QD Oled process at CES in Las Vegas 2022 last January, followed by the marketing of a first QD Oled TV series this summer, the Samsung S95B (not to mention its adoption at Sony with the TV series A95K and Dell with the Alienware Gaming Monitor).
Samsung S95B 4K Ultra HD TV, triumphant return to OLEDs
And it must be admitted that Samsung is making a triumphant return to the OLED TV segment with technology that combines the best of OLED and LCD, perfect blacks and abundant brightness. The result, in addition to excellent display quality with an SDR signal, is simply unprecedented image quality in HDR.
