Samsung's 2026 QD-OLED flagship. Up to ~35% brighter than last year's S95F. Glare Free 3.0 anti-glare coating is genuinely best-in-class. Wireless One Connect option keeps cables out of the wall. The trade-off: no Dolby Vision (HDR10+ only). If you watch a lot of Netflix/Disney+/Apple TV+ Dolby Vision content, you'll get HDR10 fallback. For bright rooms with mixed content, it's hard to beat.
