Samsung - 77” Class S95D Series OLED 4K Glare-Free Smart Tizen TV (2024)

The S95D is the best TV I've ever owned. I just finished reading a review about it at AVS forums where the vibe was "real TV aficionados" only watch in a light controlled environment and don't need the anti glare filter. Please. Those of us who are married and have kids live our lives outside the basement. I watch football, movies etc. in my sunroom. Full windows to the south and east and an open door with more light coming from the west. My LG GX 77' OLED was essentially unwatchable during the day. The reflections were so bad my 16 year old daughter even refused to use the TV. The upscaling was also meh so I determined it was time for a new TV. After doing a bunch of research I settled on the Sony A95L. I love Sony's upscaling and ecosystem (the X90L is a superb bedroom TV) and the picture is very well balanced. The plan was to follow another user's lead and boost the A95 to vivid mode during the day and return to filmaker mode at night. I ordered the Sony from BB and then did a bit more research. The idea of having to change the settings each time I watch at night / afternoon wasn't appealing. I learned more about the S95D but was hesitant. I'm more of a Sony / LG guy and don't have much love for Samsung. But as I did more research the S95D's potential began to change my mind. I was and am intrigued by the potential for QD-OLED. The colors on the S95D are stunning. Rich, vibrant and stunning without being cartoony. The comparison in color saturation / brightness between the S95 and the GX is simply night and day. And then there is the anti glare screen. Is it flawless? No. Fomo showed on one of his YouTube videos that direct full afternoon sun can turn part of the screen white and unwatchable. In a perfect (or unperfect) storm I'm sure that's true. I saw that happen to a small corner of the screen when afternoon sun hit the TV from the west. That happened once for 10 minutes. The rest of the time the filter is just amazing. What was simply unwatchable is now superb. Yes if a ton of light is in the room the blacks get crushed a bit but that effect is minimal and so, so much better than a badly reflected screen. For people like me who watch a bunch of TV in daytime it's a true game changer. I'm not a PC gamer and am confident my PS5 / XBox S would work well. The only other unknown was the processing / upscaling. The previous generation (s95c) got poor to middling reviews in this area and I was concerned but decided to take a chance (props to BB which allows you to switch out TV's within 60 days if you have a Plus Membeship). I cancelled the A95L and ordered the S95D. It arrived 4 days ago and I'm a truly satisfied customer. The processing is very good. Maybe not Sony great but much, much better than the GX. All in all I'm thrilled. The picture is brilliant. I can watch football and other sports during the day and have an amazing, accurate OLED at night. Highly recommended. The attached pics contrast the room with the GX and the S95D. Hopefully you can see the difference.

Best picture of any samsung tv so far . Better than the bigger ones lile the 80 and 90” . Gaming and Movies are a plesure to watch . I am a big DIYer but with big ticket items I Dont forget to pay the extra for the Bestbuy instalation with Geeksquad . It is a small price for peace of mind .

So far, so good very happy with the TV. We got one with no glare and it works really great
