Samsung R95H Micro RGB

Where reviewers disagree

• ±Picture quality · 5 positive, 3 negative
  Which sources said this

  • PCMag — negative: Covered 89.98% of BT.2020 in CIE31, a wider color range than any other TV tested, but the numbers do not translate to real-world colour; colour bloom is potentially distracting and becomes much more noticeable off-centre.
  • Computer Bild — positive: Head-on there is no visible difference from OLED on black, and BT.2020 coverage hit a record 92.42% against 89.19% for the S99H, though contrast washes out faster off-axis than the QN90F and the panel is less evenly lit.
  • ecoustics — positive: Minimal backlight blooming and micro-contrast as good as I've seen on a non-OLED TV, with 93.3% of BT.2020 and 147.9% of DCI-P3, though Filmmaker mode grayscale Delta-E averaged 6.2 before calibration cut it to 1.4.
  • TechRadar — positive: It registered 148% of the DCI-P3 color gamut and 94.1% of BT.2020, rivaling QD-OLED, but black tones were not quite OLED-level and there was still some blooming off-centre.
  • Les Numeriques — negative: Blooming très marqué with disgracing halos around bright objects and subtitles, the worst banding the magazine tested in 2026, and 69% of brightness lost at 45 degrees, despite an excellent SDR/HDR calibration and 95.3% of Rec.2020.
  • Pocket-lint — positive: Across the titles I watched, I didn't notice any halo effects or blooming: the color was bright, vivid, crisp and well-defined, though the author's main concern is contrast and he still leans toward OLED for shadows in the dark.
  • Trusted Reviews — positive: Calman measurements reveal essentially 150% of the DCI-P3 colour range, an unprecedented figure, with deep blacks and impressive freedom from clouding, though blooming is still present off-angle in a way it is not with OLED.
  • WIRED — negative: Colours did not look mind-blowing or realistic: Hoppers looked dark, moody and grey and the blues in Project Hail Mary appeared dim; Dynamic mode caused color blooming and bleeding while Filmmaker mode left the skin-tone scene too dark.

  • PCMag — mixed: The 4.2.2-channel system sounds full and clear, though it doesn't provide the most immersive spatial audio and the Dolby Atmos mix doesn't receive much in the way of directional imaging.
  • TechRadar — positive: Sound scored 4/5: accurate with good detail, but the volume had to be pushed past 70 out of 100 and the bass felt flat, with sound still contained to the rear of the screen.
  • Les Numeriques — mixed: Les graves sont étonnamment présents pour un téléviseur aussi fin and voices stay clear, mais la scène sonore est assez resserrée: lateral effects do not really leave the screen and vertical effects are timid.
  • Trusted Reviews — positive: The sound creates a soundstage larger than even the 75-inch screen, but longer, really deep and pressurised rumbles can descend into buzzing noise, crackling and a general coarsening.
  • WIRED — negative: A BritBox show was a bit hard to hear on the built-in speakers, and connecting a TCL A65K soundbar improved the clarity.

• ±Smart TV platform · 3 positive, 2 negative, 2 mixed
  Which sources said this

  • PCMag — negative: Tizen tends to feel overcomplicated, burying many settings a layer or two deeper, and the R95H also suffers from Samsung's stubborn refusal to support Dolby Vision.
  • Computer Bild — positive: A Samsung account is required for streaming apps, the store covered everything from Netflix to HBO Max, Spotify and HD+, and SmartThings turns the TV into a smart-home hub.
  • ecoustics — positive: Samsung's Tizen is superior to most other smart TV platforms, including Google TV, in my opinion, with a Vision AI Companion tab via Copilot or Perplexity and the Samsung Art Store at $4.99 a month.
  • TechRadar — positive: Smart TV scored 4.5/5: Tizen is well laid out with plenty of settings, but autoplaying Samsung TV Plus and large banner ads on the home screen remain frustrating.
  • Pocket-lint — mixed: I continue to enjoy Tizen: it's fast, clean, and allows for customization, but I don't care for the AI features, especially the picture personalisation based on random sample images.
  • Trusted Reviews — mixed: The Tizen OS is pretty effective and improved by moving sub-menu links to the top of the screen, but its biggest flaw ultimately is its desire to get you to accept adverts on the UI.
  • WIRED — negative: Netflix didn't install and gave me an error, forcing a Google TV streamer, and the review wishes Samsung would switch from Tizen to the more intuitive Google TV; Alexa+ worked but was not always reliable.

• ±Value · 2 positive, 3 negative, 3 mixed
  Which sources said this

  • PCMag — negative: At $3,199.99 for the 65-inch model I tested, it's far too expensive for what you get; for around the same price the S95H OLED looks far better in real-world viewing and earns our Editors' Choice.
  • Computer Bild — mixed: The only real drawback named is that Samsung still omits Dolby Vision and DTS; the 65-inch was listed at EUR 2,799 at the time of the test, which places it below the S95H and S99H OLEDs.
  • ecoustics — mixed: At its discounted $2,999.99 price the 65-inch is still expensive for a TV, but the extended colour space, brightness, glare-free screen and gaming make it an excellent overall TV.
  • TechRadar — positive: Value scored 4/5: a premium price in the same bracket as the best OLEDs, but with the features and performance to mostly justify it, and prices had already started to fall.
  • Les Numeriques — negative: Bon téléviseur mais finalement difficilement recommandable: plus cher que ses concurrents directs, moins lumineux, et il faudra qu'il chute drastiquement de prix pour devenir vraiment intéressant.
  • Pocket-lint — mixed: Expensive sits on the con list, but the review still recommends the set: for anyone who loves big, bold, vivid colours and prioritises color saturation, I'd absolutely recommend investing in this TV as the centre of a home entertainment system.
  • Trusted Reviews — positive: Priced at £4299 for the 75-inch, just below the S99H OLED: the fact that the 75R95H stands as a credible alternative to a TV as brilliant as the S99H is an outstanding achievement.
  • WIRED — negative: At $3,200 for the 65-inch model, the Samsung R95H just can't compete with the superior LG Micro RGB Evo; the colours didn't look as mind-blowing as they should for the price.
