I do wonder what was wrong with your Samsung 65S95C. I recently bought the Samsung 65S95D, cracking TV but I have encountered an issue which I previously did with other Samsung TVs, is that the screen will go black and you can still hear the sound. It did this about 5 times in the week I used it. Ended up getting a refund from John Lewis for a faulty TV.

My Samsung 65S90C works perfectly so I was just happy to go back to this TV, and would now buy this model again in the future instead of the flagship, providing it was still QD-OLED and not OLED. But saying that I probably would buy if it was just an OLED too because I like the colours on it and the non-reflective TV.

Sometime it would be interesting in one of your articles that you could mention what was wrong with your old Samsung and why you don’t now recommend one. It seems crazy to me that you recommend Sony and Panasonic over the Samsung now. I can understand the LG G model though but it’s not without its issues especially the LG G4.

I do now recall you mentioned processing on the Sony was far superior to the Samsung, but I have never encountered any problems with it, unless you are talking about motion, then yes the Sony was better.

I see the Sony 65A95L is quite cheap for a Sony now here:

And with the Samsung being:

There is not a huge difference in price anymore, yes I think I get why you bought the Sony now.

Yes the LG 65C4/C5 I have always classified as a high-end TV even though the LG G sits above it and rightly so.

Then there is Sony’s new QD-OLED TV which I am also a little confused as to why you didn’t buy that:

£2700 with cashback for a newer and better TV, perhaps I will keep an eye on that one for the future price cuts.
