That’s because the internet connection was suboptimal. The only thing that gave away that it was on the cloud and not a console is that it looked pretty bad like it was SD, and it certainly wasn’t the 120fps I’m used to. The lag was surprisingly minimal, so much so that I barely noticed it. I spent about 45 minutes playing Forza Horizon 5 on the cloud, and it was a fantastic experience. That will be great for families who want to play without investing in an expensive console because they’re not sure how often they’ll play, or for PlayStation owners who just want to play the occasional Xbox game. Yeah, but is the Samsung S95B OLED TV good for playing games on? Image: Alice Clarkeįor casual gamers, Xbox Cloud Gaming is built right in, so you can access Xbox Game Pass games. Given the price it’s at, and how good it looks, it’s a great TV for your normal, not extremely bright rooms, especially since OLED is still better at colour and brightness control than anything else out there. This could be down to the unusual pixel structure of the TV, but it’s only noticeable on small text. Boosting the captions up to a slightly larger size made it less fuzzy, but it was a bit frustrating on sources that have tiny captions only (which are always irritating anyway). Perhaps it’s something in the apps not talking to the TV properly? Given the red was good on some sources, I’m going to say it’s probably not the TV’s fault, but it’s still worth noting.Īnother thing I found irritating was that text looked slightly fuzzy on smaller captions. Is it the apps? Because the same videos on the same apps have really vibrant reds on my NeoQLED Samsung TV. I can’t be sure what’s at fault for the red thing, because it was on Xbox Cloud Gaming and YouTube, which are built-in apps, but then the red on Xbox Series X looked really good, and it was great on the Netflix app. Not helpful in any way, but very beautiful. This is an interesting insight into how people see colour differently, and I think that’s beautiful. While some people find the red on the Samsung OLED to be extremely vibrant (someone has said “too vibrant”), I found it a bit washed out on some sources. However, subjectively, I prefer the colours on the mini-LED. This Samsung OLED can get brighter than the OLEDs of Christmas Past, but it’s still not going to get as bright as a Neo QLED if you have direct sunlight going onto it. OLED TVs perform better in darker rooms, while mini-LEDs are the best choice for bright rooms. Objectively, OLED TVs in general are better at black blacks, while mini-LED TVs are better at white whites while not being as bad at black blacks as their regular-sized LED cousins. They are both truly wonderful foods, but they’re better for different purposes and different people have different preferences. Very favourably! But that’s like saying that pasta and pizza are both excellent. How does it compare with Samsung’s mini-LED TVs? Image: Alice Clarke Like the vast majority of OLED TVs, it’s very thin and will look good in any room, but also be utterly terrifying to carry, should you ever need to move. OLEDs have very good wide viewing angles usually, and this one allows you to see vibrant colours even if you have a crap seat on the other end of the couch, or are trying to watch from the kitchen. Mostly, that’s a lot of words to say “it has a great picture and plays games good”. Game mode with mini map zoom and Freesync Premium. More than that, it’s a very good OLED TV with the following key specs: However, this year Samsung rejoined the OLED TV-making business, and I went to check out the Samsung S95B OLED TV to see whether it’s good for games and how it stacks up against the competition. But since 2013, when Samsung released the company’s last curved OLED TV screens, the technology has largely been the domain of LG and Sony. OLED TVs have been considered the best of the best for the last decade, because of their extraordinary light control allowing for blacker blacks.
