Hello everyone it's SpawnPoiint and today we're unboxing the s95b which is Samsung's 2022 QD OLED
now I've tried a few different oleds over the last year but this is the one that I've been
really excited to unbox and review on the channel so I'll get this unboxed set it up and give you my
first impressions and I'll follow up with a full review and compare it to the LG OLED as well as
Sony's a95k OLED this is also my first video in the new house in case you wondered why it looks
a little bit different to usual I've still got some work to do in this room but it's definitely
getting that now I wanted to mention the Box very kindly loaned me this TV so I could make today's
video this is not sponsored but I have linked to their site below if you want to check it out
Inside the Box we get a pack of accessories including the manual removable power plug two
remote controls and the batteries then there are several pieces here that form part of the
stand or the covers for the rear of the TV now although this TV can be wall mounted I will be
using a provided stand which is really easy to install firstly lay the TV flat on the box that
it came in then take this piece of the stand and slide it onto the metal part once that's
done you just use the four provided screws and secure it into place and at the top of
the stand there are these two plastic Clips these will need popping out ready to fit it to the TV
now take the stand and slide it onto the back and lock those two clips back down and that's
it there are no screws needed to attach it to the TV before we turn this around let me quickly show
you the rear and the available connections so the first thing to note is how clean and thin
this TV is the top two thirds are ridiculously thin whereas the bottom third is a little bit
bulkier but that houses all of the internals but it's got a nice design to it although let's face
it once you've set this up you're never going to look at the back again and if you do decide
to wall mount it will you be pleased to know it does have the vesa 300x 200 holes on the back
and here are the dimensions of the TV along with a few extras you might not find online
as for the ports well we've got a power plug on the right hand side which is awesome to see that
it's removable so if you need to run the cable through a wall in case you are wall mounting it
you can do that with the plug by easily removing it the rest of the ports are on the left side of
the TV not only does it come with four HDMI ports they are all HDMI 2.1 and that means we're getting
4K at 120 hertz through all four ports this is perfect for plugging in multiple consoles such
as the PlayStation 5 and the Xbox series X plus one of these ports are labeled e-arc so
it's ideal for sending your audio to your sound bar or your AVR there are also two USB a ports a
network ports and antennas and satellite ports but once you've got all of your cables plugged
in you can hide them inside the stand itself just route them along the back of the TV and down the
stand then pop this cover back on and you've got a pretty decent Cable Management setup back here
so I'm not sure about you but I think OLED TVs are one of the nicest looking TVs out there the thin
bezels and low profile frame immediately gives it a premium minimal and clean design and you
can see just how thin this TV is here the bezels are also stupidly slim which makes the TV look
almost borderless it's just a small Samsung logo on the bottom right corner and when I first saw
the stand I wasn't sure how it would look we've seen how small the footprint is and how it makes
it look like a giant desktop monitor I quite like it in fact this could be one of the nicest looking
stands that we've seen this year it's also great to see that the TV Has Lifted very slightly which
gives you room for a sound bar underneath or if you've got LEDs behind your TV it will show off
those ambient lights and when it comes to setting up the s95b it's as easy as you would hope it
to be just run through the on-screen prompts and decide if you want to use your phone or the remote
control to set it up connect any devices you need to use connect to your network and check for
updates and that's it within a matter of minutes you're good to go oh wow and turning this on for
the first time there's no denying that the picture quality on the 4K OLED is incredible the s95b is
packing the QD OLED panel which is the latest tech from a couple of Manufacturers this year
is essentially an OLED TV combined with a quantum dot characteristics that we've seen before this
gives us a brighter picture that we would normally see in LCD TVs but we've still got the rich blacks
and the Deep contrast from an OLED it is almost the perfect combination and looking at the picture
here it's clear that the black levels are insanely good something I'm always Keen to test out on new
TVs but the brightness and the colors is what makes this TV look incredible it is noticeably
brighter than any Ola that I've used this year I've not compared this yet to my LG OLED but I
would say this is easily 10 to 15 percent brighter so it will be interesting to compare the two side
by side now the s95b also supports HDR 10 plus so any HDR content that you want to watch either
locally or streaming will obviously look great I've tried a few different movies and TV shows
over the last week and anything that's HDR looks awesome it's also worth mentioning how good the
reflection handling and the anti-glare looks on this TV it could be the darkest screen that I've
seen so far not only does it look nice while off it means that the reflex are almost non-existent
in your room so I've got Windows either side of the TV plus lights on in the room and you
struggle to see those Reflections while watching it obviously if the scene is really dark and
you're pointing it directly towards your window there's a good chance you will still see that
reflection but generally speaking in normal use is absolutely fine now as this TV does combine both
quantum dot and OLED it means the view and angles are brilliant I know most people will watch their
TV straight on but it's always worth checking these things out in case you plan on having
seating off center so if you wanted to use your TV for gaming you might be interested in how it
performs well firstly the fact that it comes with four HDMI 2.1 ports shows that Samsung are Keen to
impress or cater for the gaming Market being able to get 4k 120 hertz on all four ports is actually
a big deal especially if you're running a PS5 Xbox series X plus maybe a PC it also supports a llm or
Auto low latency mode and vrr the variable refresh rate so you're getting a pretty decent spec here
for any games you want to play I've jumped on a few different games on the PlayStation 5 just
to test it out this week and first impressions it's smooth looks good and the motion appears
to be decent I also really like the game bar 2.0 which is Samson's take on the game Optimizer mode
that we've often seen in the LG Outlets so this pop-up menu lets you change or check things like
the input lag settings picture mode screen ratio and a few others the aspect ratio controller is
core and it lets you swap between 16x9 and 32x9 and this is obviously a great feature especially
if you're gaming on PC Samsung also has its own gaming Hub where you can instantly stream and play
the biggest and latest games from XBox and other streaming services there's no need to download
these games either just connect your Bluetooth controller and sign into your account but the fact
that this TV looks and plays really well on both the PlayStation 5 and Xbox series X is awesome for
any gamer now let's take a quick look at the menus and the OS on the s95b so it's running
the latest tizan operating system it's pretty clean and user friendly but it's not the best
OS that I've seen over the last year we've got all the apps that you could possibly need things
like Netflix Disney plus Apple TV and prime plus the App Store lets you download any other apps
that you might want it also works with Alexa and Google assistant so if you're already integrated
with either of the smart home assistants well you're good to go multi-view is another feature
that I'd like to test more on as you're able to have multiple apps open at the same time I
think this is limited to just screen sharing and a couple of apps so I will need to test this out
oh and the remote control so it actually comes with two different remote controls in the Box
you've got your normal old-school VCR looking one that has all the buttons you could need and then
there's this newly designed one which is nice and minimal looking and it doesn't need charging as it
has its own solar panel on the back and as for the speakers on the s95b these are probably one of the
best I've ever heard from a TV it's got Samsung's object tracking sound which makes it sound a lot
more immersive when you're watching your movies or TV shows I haven't done any sound test for
today's video but again I will leave that for the full review so my first thoughts on the Samsung
s95b I'm genuinely really impressed with how nice this looks it's got the benefits of an OLED panel
with the viewing angles Rich blacks and contrast but it also has the brightness and colors found
in a quantum dot or LCD TVs This TV has really surprised me with just how good it looks now over
the coming weeks I will be using this exclusively to see how it performs for movies gaming daytime
and nighttime viewing but any questions you've got about this TV let me know in the comments
and I will try to answer in the next video now if you drop a "Nice QD-OLED" in the comments
I'll give you a thumbs up for staying right till the end and if you did enjoy today's video check
