Samsung R95H review: Two-minute review
Samsung’s Micro RGB lineup is its first foray into the RGB TV market, and the Samsung R95H is the flagship model in that lineup. It's an impressive TV, and a very strong performer in key areas such as movies and gaming; and, while I don’t think it quite beats the best OLED TVs, it's a good showcase for how RGB models are shaping up against the best TVs in general.
The R95H delivers great overall picture quality, with vibrant colors which also look accurate in most scenes, as well as strong contrast and refined detail. While its black levels don’t quite match those of OLED, they’re still very rich for a backlit TV. It’s not all smooth sailing, as the R95H can get overly bright, especially in Movie mode, and it’s not immune to blooming in very dark scenes. Still, its overall picture quality is of a high standard.
Sound quality on the R95H is solid for the most part, with good accuracy and detail, as well as commendable bass and solid mid-range tones. Speech is clear in most scenes I watched, and there is some sense of surround. However, the soundstage could be wider, and the volume does need to be pushed sometimes, so I’d recommend one of the best soundbars for those wanting a more of a home-theater experience.
