Today is the day that Samsung breaks news ground - a new OLED TV from Samsung is available to pre-order. This could shake up the best gaming TV market, and the combination of Samsung's QLED technology, as well as the established brilliance of OLED panels, could result in a beautiful sight to behold.
The new Samsung S95B is up for pre-order at Samsung for $2,199.99. Naturally, this is a starting price for the TV but there was a time when this 55-inch panel was supposedly going to launch at the $2,400 mark. If you pre-order today you should see it shipped by April 15.
While this TV is being marketed and talked about as a 'pure' OLED TV, it actually does combine the techs we've grown used to seeing on both sides of the QLED/OLED divide in recent years. The S95B will be a hybrid of sorts and could be one to hold out for if you've been looking to upgrade to one of the best TVs for PS5 or Xbox Series X this year.
The hybrid 'QD-OLED' tech combines the Quantum Dot display tech of the best QLED TVs, with that of the beautiful panels of the best OLED TVs. If it works, the result could be a TV that offers the joyous brightness and vivid vibrancy of QLEDs with the unparalleled contrasts of OLEDs.
This sounds like the perfect mix for a TV for any use, let alone just gaming. If it's anything like the Alienware AW3423DW QD-OLED screen we reviewed recently then we could be in for something truly spectacular.
