In a market that is now firmly saturated with premium TVs, the Samsung S95D OLED TV stands out as a bold statement of innovation. With its glare-free QD-OLED (Quantum Dot OLED) panel, ultra-slim design, and high-end gaming and processing features, Samsung aims to deliver an all-round premium experience. In markets like Bangladesh, the S95D is among the top tier home-theatre and gaming display options.
Let’s dive deep into what the S95D brings to the table, how it performs in real-use, what trade-offs you should know, and whether it’s worth the investment.
Design & Build: Ultra-Slim, Elegant and Functional
The S95D series features what Samsung calls the Infinity One Design, boasting a profile thickness as little as 11.2 mm (for the panel) and a very flat back surface, thanks in part to the included Slim One Connect Box which houses much of the connectivity externally.
The glare-free coating is a major design highlight. Samsung marks the display as “OLED Glare Free” and claims that the panel has been verified with a UGR (Unified Glare Rating) of less than thresholds for reflection and disability glare. This makes the S95D particularly well-suited for bright rooms where traditional glossy OLEDs struggle with reflections.
From a build perspective, this TV fits into modern interiors effortlessly — minimal bezels, elegant stand or wall-mount ready, and the separate One Connect box keeps cabling tidy.
Display & Picture Quality: QD-OLED, Glare-Free, 144 Hz
Panel technology: The S95D uses a 4K (3,840 × 2,160) resolution QD-OLED panel. The combination of Quantum Dot color and OLED’s self-illuminating pixels provides deep blacks, vivid colors and wide viewing angles.
Glare-free finish: One of the standout features is the anti-reflection / matte-like finish which Samsung brands as “OLED Glare Free”. This reduces distracting reflections from windows, lamps or other light sources. TechRadar’s testing of the S95D noted that the anti-glare screen performed very well in bright rooms, though there were trade-offs versus darker-room contrast in some cases.
Refresh rate & gaming motion: The S95D supports a variable refresh rate (VRR) up to 144 Hz when connected to a compatible PC. For consoles it supports up to 120 Hz. Samsung labels this under “Motion Xcelerator 144Hz”. This makes the S95D not only a premium TV for movies but also a serious option for gaming.
HDR & upscaling: The S95D includes HDR support such as HDR10, HDR10+ (Adaptive/Gaming) and HLG. Its video engine is the NQ4 AI Gen2 Processor which uses around 20 neural networks to upscale content, tone-map HDR dynamically, and map colors (including PANTONE validation). The display also claims “100% color volume” and “Ultra Viewing Angle”.
In practice: For dark-room cinema use the S95D delivers rich blacks and excellent colour fidelity. In bright environments, the anti-glare finish helps maintain clarity but some users note that black levels may be slightly compromised compared with glossy OLEDs.
Gaming & Performance Features
The S95D is well-equipped for gamers:
- VRR support up to 144 Hz (PC) and up to 120 Hz (console) via HDMI 2.1.
- Auto Low Latency Mode (ALLM) and AMD FreeSync Premium/Pro support are present according to spec sheets.
- Game-focused features such as “Game Bar”, “Mini Map Zoom” (for console/PC gaming) are supported.
- The One Connect Box helps keep HDMI ports accessible and reduces cable clutter — helpful in gaming setups. However, some community posts raise concerns about the One Connect Box’s build/reliability.
Therefore, if you’re looking for a TV that works for both high-end cinema and demanding games, the S95D ticks many boxes.
Audio & Smart Features
Sound system: The S95D includes a 70 W 4.2.2 channel speaker system with built-in upward firing drivers and side/up-firing speakers, supporting Dolby Atmos and Object Tracking Sound Plus (OTS+). For many viewers, this built-in system is very good; however, for full home-theatre impact, pairing with a dedicated soundbar or AV system is still recommended.
Smart TV & ecosystem: It runs Samsung’s Tizen OS with SmartThings IoT Hub integration and Knox security. Integration with other smart devices (lighting, home automation) is part of the ecosystem.
Connectivity: Specs indicate 4× HDMI ports (likely HDMI 2.1 for high-bandwidth applications) and standard network/wireless connectivity.
Pricing & Availability (Bangladesh)
The Samsung S95D series has been launched in Bangladesh in early 2025, in sizes of 55″, 65″ and 77″. The availability includes local authorized showrooms such as Transcom Digital in Dhaka. Pricing will vary depending on size and import status; expect a premium price tag given the flagship status. (Exact local price needs confirmation from retailers at time of purchase.)
Pros & Cons
✅ Pros:
- Outstanding display quality: QD-OLED panel, deep blacks, vivid colours
- Anti-glare “Glare Free” finish makes it ideal for bright-room usage
- High refresh rate (up to 144 Hz) with gaming-friendly features
- Premium build and ultra-slim design (11.2 mm depth) with One Connect
- Strong smart features and good sound system built in
❌ Cons:
- At a high price point — flagship tier cost
- The anti-glare finish can reduce perceived contrast/blacks slightly compared to glossy OLEDs (especially in totally dark rooms)
- Some user reports of reliability issues (One Connect Box, panel failures) in community forums
- Requires HDMI 2.1 and compatible hardware to fully utilize 4K/144Hz — setup may be more complex for PC gamers
- For true cinephiles in dark rooms, other OLEDs may offer marginally better black depth (though at the cost of glare in bright rooms)
Final Verdict
The Samsung S95D OLED TV is a top-tier choice for anyone seeking a premium, versatile display that excels both in bright rooms and for high-end gaming. If you can afford a flagship model, and want one screen that handles movies, sports, gaming and everyday viewing with minimal compromises — the S95D is one of the best available.
For buyers in Bangladesh or similar markets, this means access to bleeding-edge tech: QD-OLED clarity, 144 Hz refresh, glare-free design — features that many competitors only offer in thinner margins or select regions.
However, if your budget is more modest, or your viewing room is fully dark with minimal ambient light, you might weigh whether the extra cost is worth it — or compare closely with slightly less expensive OLED alternatives. Also ensure your gaming or source hardware can fully support HDMI 2.1/144 Hz if you plan on maximizing those features.
In conclusion: Highly recommended for premium users who want nothing but the best. Worth considering for enthusiasts as long as budget and setup align. For more budget-conscious users, the S95D may be over-spec’d for their needs.
