Samsung S95F Smart TV: Benefits of new QD-OLED panel described with plans for new 83-inch model revealed

FlatpanelsHD has gleaned new information about the QD-OLED technology that underpins Samsung's new S95F Smart TVs. To recap, Samsung focused on the peak luminosity and various AI features the S95F series offered when exhibiting a 77-inch variant at this year's Consumer Electronics Show.

However, the device's quoted 4,000-nit peak brightness only applies across 3% of its full panel when viewing HDR content (3% APL). According to FlatpanelsHD, Samsung demonstrated privately that the combination of three blue and two green OLED layers allows the S95F to deliver 440 nits on a white background, compared to 300 nits for its predecessor. In other words, the S95F should get 47% brighter in most cases than last year's equivalent S95D (curr. $3,997.99 on Amazon).

FlatpanelsHD adds that other improvements between the S95D and S95F include a superior anti-glare coating that reduces reflections by around 40%. The S95F should provide deeper blacks in bright environments than its predecessor too, which it will combine with Auto HDR gamut to maximise shadow details. Unfortunately, Samsung Display's new QD-OLED technology will not be headed to the 83-inch version of the S95F. Instead, FlatpanelsHD reports that this model will utilise a WOLED panel from LG Display, which also boasts 4,000 nits peak brightness.
