Is the Samsung QN95D 85" right for you?
If you want a huge, bright screen for a light-filled room with seating spread around, the brightness, anti-reflection screen and wide angles make this a strong choice.
If you watch mostly in a dim room and want perfect blacks with no blooming, a large OLED will give you the cinema contrast this cannot match.
Before you buy
No, it is a Mini-LED. It uses Quantum Matrix Technology to control the backlight precisely, giving high brightness, though not the perfect per-pixel blacks of an OLED.
Yes. The high Mini-LED brightness and anti-reflection screen make it well suited to a bright, busy room where OLED can struggle with glare.
An 85 inch screen suits rooms where you can sit roughly three and a half metres or more back, so it is best in a large living room.
Yes, it is recommended. Despite the 8-speaker layout, the 8W output is modest for a screen this size, so a soundbar will give films and sport much more weight.
