Our Verdict
Samsung QN95B
Samsung QN95C
The Samsung QN95C is better than the Samsung QN95B in some ways, but these improvements come with a few sacrifices. The QN95C has a better local dimming feature, with slightly less blooming and less noticeable zone transitions, thanks to the increased zone count. The QN95C is also more accurate, especially at displaying the content creator's intent in HDR, as it has better tone mapping and tracks the PQ EOTF better. On the other hand, these improvements come at the expense of brightness, as the QN95C isn't quite as bright as the QN95B.
