The S95B isn’t exactly cheap, but reviews indicate that its QD-OLED panel delivers the kind of high contrast, deep blacks, and wide viewing angles you’d expect from a typical OLED screen. At the same time, the added layer of quantum dots allows it to achieve higher-than-usual brightness levels for OLED, as well as more saturated colours.
