Samsung S95F vs Samsung S95H
Is the older flagship still the better deal?
When a flagship is replaced, last year’s model can be the bargain, as long as it’s still sold at a real discount. Here is what changed.
The short version
- Samsung S95H OLED is measured about 26% brighter than Samsung S95F OLED in a 10% HDR window (2,764 vs 2,198 nits).
Choose S95F OLED if…
- its smart platform, design or availability suits you better, since it doesn’t lead on any of the measured uses here
Choose S95H OLED if…
- you mostly watch movies, especially in a dim room
