SAMSUNG’S 77-INCH QN77S95D TV is the third version of its OLED TVs, which combine quantum dots and blue OLED light. This technology is called “Quantum-OLED” by Samsung Electronics and “QD-OLED” by Samsung Display, the company that makes the screens. It uses quantum dots to change blue OLED light to red and green light for its RGB pixels.

They were more consistent in preserving the artistic vision.
When not in use for movies or TV, the Samsung S95D is an exceptional 4K OLED gaming display. It has a refresh rate that tops out at 144 Hz, which creates smooth, clear, and fast gameplay for advanced game titles. This speed is available on any of the four HDMI 2.1 inputs. The set’s Motion Xcelerator 144 Hz processing, which works with advanced consoles and gaming PCs, also offers smooth motion and clear
