Our TV expert Taylor Clemons had the chance to test out the Samsung S95F OLED at the ZDNET lab, and they were very impressed with how much powerful tech Samsung managed to put inside such a thin TV. “The updated OLED panel gives you rich, bold colors and deep contrast while HDR10 support helps enhance details to make everything from Hollywood classics to the latest blockbusters look their best,” Clemons says. “And the integrated gaming dashboard gives you cloud gaming support, VRR support to prevent screen tearing and stuttering, and an automatic low-latency picture mode.”

ZDNET only writes about deals that capture our own interest — devices and products we want, need, or would recommend not only to our readers, but to friends and family. Our experts look for deals at least 20% off (or hardly ever on sale), using established price-comparison tools and trackers to determine whether the deal is actually worth your time. 

We also examine customer reviews and rely on our own hands-on experience with new tech to find out what matters to real people who already own and use the products we’re recommending. The goal is to deliver the most accurate advice and to make you aware of price drops so you can shop smarter.
