Samsung’s S95F stands out from any of the other best OLED TVs we tested last year because of its distinctive matte screen, which swallows even direct glare better than any TV I’ve seen. As anyone with a bright living room can attest, this is an important feature, and while the rival LG G5 offers deep black levels, even that model can’t match the S95F’s lack of brightness. (If you have a dark room, the G5 is still my favorite TV overall.)
Cutting out reflections doesn’t matter much if the picture isn’t good, but as Samsung’s flagship display for 2025, this TV performs well. Reviewer Parker Hall praised the S95F’s gorgeous colors and contrast, while its brightness is one of the best we’ve ever seen for an OLED display, competing with even many of the best LED TVs like Sony’s Bravia 9.
The TV matches its top-notch picture quality with a posh design, including a stylish pedestal stand and fancy accessories like a solar-powered remote and Samsung’s One Connect box that lets you connect all your source devices to the TV via a single cable.
Although I’m not a huge fan of Samsung’s Tizen smart interface, I do enjoy its built-in gaming hub, which lets you stream games directly from multiple services. The TV’s fast refresh rate matches the latest games and gaming consoles for fluid response. The biggest downside of the S95F is its lack of Dolby Vision HDR (High Dynamic Range) support, which all Samsung TVs lack. However, you’ll still get a good performance, with the Dolby Vision video standard defaulting to HDR for impressive contrast and detailed colors.
It all adds up to a great package, especially for those who want TV that looks as good in bright sunlight as it does on movie night with the lights off. At this price, it’s hard to beat the value, and based on past years, I’d bet we won’t see it get much cheaper until the end of the year.
