Astonishing!

Finally made the jump to OLED with the 77” S95C. To say I’m happy with my purchase would be an understatement.
Unboxing and set up was very straightforward, especially considering the size. The TV is incredibly thin due to the use of the One Connect box, which attaches neatly to the rear of the very weighty pedestal stand and gives the assembled unit a very sleek overall appearance.
Powering up for the first time, you’re guided through the initial configuration screens. After a quick firmware update it was ready to go and I fired up the 4K Blu-ray player to let the S95C stretch its legs. It did not disappoint!
From Blade Runner 2049 & Dune to No Time To Die & Top Gun: Maverick, the S95C just wows. Of course OLED is renowned for its ability to produce deep blacks and high contrast but the superior peak brightness and colour saturation of the S95C takes it to a whole new level, providing a depth to the image that I’ve never previously experienced.
I spent the next few days subjecting the TV to all manner of challenging content and it never once failed to impress, from the incredible contrast of the docking sequence in Interstellar to the HDR vibrancy of Aquaman or the low-light subtlety of Game of Thrones’ The Long Night.
Whilst I use a dedicated sound system, I did try the built-in speakers and they sounded remarkably decent considering how thin the TV is. The Tizen interface is also clear, snappy and easy to use. I tested the built-in YouTube and iPlayer apps with some HDR content and these performed superbly.
To sum up, this is simply the best TV I have ever owned and I’d strongly recommend it to anyone!
