Last year, Samsung entered the OLED TV market with the launch of the S95B QD-OLED model, which combines the best qualities of Quantum Dot and OLED in one package. A year later, at CES 2023, Samsung unveiled two QD-OLED sequels, aptly named the S95C and S90C, which bring some major improvements to the lineup.
We’re at CES and had the chance to experience the new S95C and S90C QD-OLED TVs first hand. We share this experience in a new hands-on video, which you can watch below. Here’s an overview of what you can expect.
Samsung now offers 77-inch QD-OLED TVs
The first big change to Samsung’s QD-OLED TV lineup comes in the form of a larger 77-inch model. Well, two of them to be exact, as both the S95C and S90C will come in similar sizes, including 55, 65 and 77 inches.
The second is the inclusion of a second model, ie. S90C, which Samsung seems to have developed with the aim of bringing the QD-OLED technology to more customers. In other words, and without Samsung revealing too many specifics, the S90C is intended as a more affordable alternative to the S95C, all the while boasting similar high-end specs.
According to Samsung at CES 2023, both the S95C and S90C have 4K UHD resolution and a 144Hz refresh rate. Officially, this is Samsung’s first QD-OLED TV to support 144Hz, although unofficially the S95B model released last year can support 144Hz by overclocking.
Samsung claims the S95C has a 0.1ms response time and AMD Freesync Premium Pro certification, although it’s unclear if the S90C has those features. Similarly, the S95C is Pantone certified for both color and skin tone accuracy.
A few features that set the S95C apart from the S90C – the latter of which is supposed to be more affordable – are OTS Plus Sound and Samsung One Connect box support. The S90C model lacks the latter feature and uses OTS Lite rather than OTS Plus.
Performance should be improved through better optimization, but we’re told the new QD-OLEDs use the same Quantum Processor 4K as the 2022 model.
Overall, the S95C looks to be an excellent follow-up to the S95B, while the S90C could prove to be a great addition to Samsung’s QD-OLED lineup if priced right. And needless to say, the larger 77-inch form factor is a huge step in the right direction for both the S95C and S90C.
