Samsung QE-65Q95TA 65 "

Seamless mounting

The Samsung QE-65Q95TA is a flagship 4K TV that has already been dubbed by many industry media as one of the best TVs of 2020 and the best 4K panel in the company's portfolio. In fact, we have a pointwise improved version of last year's hit Q90. Outwardly, this is the same huge and elegant panel with the thinnest side frames and an elegant central pillar. The only difference is that the One Connect universal module has appeared in the 2020 model, which combines all types of connections, including power, network, audio and video outputs. At the same time, the module itself is connected to the panel with only a single cable, thanks to which it can be beautifully hung on the wall without the usual gap and a bunch of protruding wires. We have already seen this concept in Samsung Frame designer TVs.

Object Oriented Audio

In terms of minced meat, this is the top model, stuffed to the very limit. The brains of the TV is the Quantum 4K processor, which is responsible for image processing, voice assistant integration, and the speed of the Tizen shell. For high-quality sound, Samsung engineers have come up with an interesting feature of object-oriented sound (OTS). It works like this: the system analyzes the movement of objects in the frame and determines from which part of the screen the sound comes from. The sound is then focused using one of the speakers built into the panel and complemented by the surround sound of the soundbar. The output turned out to be an interesting variation on the theme of Dolby Atmos. Considering that the total power of the audio system is 60 watts, it is not surprising that at CES many were delighted with its sound.

Black depth is almost the same as OLED panels

The main feature of the panel is direct full-array backlighting, which provides uniform image quality across the entire screen area with deep blacks almost on par with OLED panels. Another unusual feature was the Adaptive Picture mode, which, using built-in sensors, determines the level of lighting in the room and adapts the brightness and contrast of the picture to it. The image quality of this 65-inch panel is an A-minus. The picture is very bright and contrasty, the frequency of 120 Hz provides sufficient smoothness when displaying fast moving objects, the colour reproduction is excellent, and the black depth is really amazing. Last year's Q90 does not give a solid five, in which the viewing angles were wider, and the colour reproduction was more accurate. If we get away from this comparison, then we have a top-end QLED panel with an excellent Smart TV shell, a bunch of connection options, support for HDR10 + and FreeSync, as well as the competent implementation of numerous smart functions such as voice assistant integration and picture-in-picture mode.
