Samsung released the S95H OLED TV in Australia in 55-, 65-, 77- and 83-inch sizes, priced up to $9,999.
The TV’s “Float Layer” back and Glare Free coating make it appear to float.

Summary

Prime Day Deals

Prime Day starts June 23 with deep discounts on 2025 and 2026 TV models.
The 65-inch Samsung LS03F frame TV is listed at $998, hinting at further cuts.
TCL’s 65-inch QM8K QLED sells for $898, making it a Prime Day focus.
LG’s C6H OLED is offered in 77- and 83-inch sizes, with the 77-inch model getting a $700 discount, though screens often lose contrast, color accuracy and brightness versus smaller panels.

Summary

OLED vs QLED

OLED TVs deliver perfect blacks, rich contrast, and wide angles, but they cost more and risk burn-in.
QLED TVs use quantum-dot LED/LCD panels for vivid colors and brightness, avoid burn-in, and have lower contrast than OLED with Mini LED dimming.
Basic LED TVs are cheapest, lack quantum dots, local dimming, and strong contrast, and their RGB LED variants use separate RGB LEDs for purer color but still lag OLED contrast.

Summary

Samsung Ranked

Consumer Reports named the Samsung QN65S84FA the top-ranked 65-inch TV under $1,000.
It earned a 4.8-star average from more than 850 Best Buy reviewers and an above-average predicted-reliability rating in a survey of over 120,000 TVs.
Reviewers said the Tizen operating system feels cluttered and Wi-Fi occasionally hiccups.
The TV supports HDR10+ but not Dolby Vision, and its OLED panel lacks peak brightness for very bright rooms.

History

Historical Context

In November 2007 Sony released the XEL-1, an 11-inch OLED TV priced at $2,499.99 and only 3 mm thick, marking the company’s shift from its long-running Trinitron CRT line that ended earlier that year. The breakthrough spurred rivals such as Samsung and LG to launch their own OLED models, accelerating competition that now drives premium-TV pricing below $1,000.
