Samsung quietly introduced another OLED TV to the market. It's the S95H model, which has just started appearing in European stores. Right from the start one thing should be noted: it is neither the Samsung S99H nor the same S95H known from the American market. The new model looks more like a European continuation of the very successful S95F. So we get a top-tier TV, but in a slightly different version than the flagship S99H.
The S95H Is Not the S99H. Samsung Has Prepared a Completely Different Model
The biggest difference is already visible in the design. The S95H uses the design known from the S95F series: a slim profile and an external One Connect module. That’s important, because you won’t find that solution in the S99H. It also features a matte screen with a Glare Free coating, one of Samsung’s most distinctive solutions in recent generations of OLEDs. On top of that there’s the NQ4 AI Gen3 processor, a top-of-the-line unit responsible for upscaling, motion smoothing and overall image processing. The same processor is also found in the more expensive S99H.
Available in popular 55-, 65- and 77-inch sizes, the TV is set to use a QD-OLED panel, the same technology that delivers very high brightness, a wide color volume and the characteristically saturated picture of Samsung's top OLEDs.
The 48-inch version is the biggest new addition, but also a completely different TV
However, the most interesting new addition is the 48-inch variant. Until now Samsung hasn't offered such a small size in its flagship OLED lineup, so its arrival is a significant change. You should be careful, though, because the smaller model differs from the larger versions. Instead of a QD-OLED panel it uses a WOLED panel. At the moment it's unclear whether this is LG Display's latest Tandem OLED design or a classic WOLED panel.
That's not all. The 48-inch model does not include the One Connect module. Paradoxically, it's the only one that received the AI Football Mode Pro feature, which is not available on larger sizes.
The S95H looks set to be the successor to one of Samsung's best OLEDs
The rest of the specs look very strong. The Samsung S95H has a 4.2.2-channel audio system with 70 W total output, a setup similar to the manufacturer's flagship models. So we can expect not only an excellent picture but also quite robust sound for an OLED TV. Overall, the S95H looks like a direct successor to the S95F, just with refreshed specs and a new processor. That's good news, because its predecessor was one of Samsung's most successful OLEDs in recent years. The bar is therefore set high, and the new model already looks very promising on paper.
