Our Verdict
Samsung S95D OLED
Samsung S95C OLED
The Samsung S95D OLED is very similar to the Samsung S95C OLED. The S95D has better color volume, so it can display colors in HDR brighter, and it does a bit better with upscaling and low-quality content smoothing, so DVDs and lower-quality streams look better on it. The S95D is also brighter overall, but the main difference comes down to the matte screen finish used on the S95D. The S95D is almost completely free from glare when used in a bright room, but the matte coating negatively impacts picture quality in a room with lights on, so blacks appear gray. On the other hand, The S95C has better SDR pre-calibration accuracy, so if you care about an accurate SDR image without needing calibration, the S95C is the better choice.

Hi! Is there a noticeable difference between the two TVs in a dark room in filmmaker mode? Thank you.
Both TVs perform similarly in Filmmaker Mode when viewed in a dark room. The only exceptions are that the S95D will be a little brighter and specular highlights may appear as if they’re blooming when viewed from a closer position due to its matte coating. As I mentioned in an earlier post about comparing black levels, this isn’t very noticeable. Hopefully, this helps.
Does S95D blacks look the same as S95C in completely dark room?
From what I understand from this comparison, the 95C is better, but overall they are two TVs on equal footing.
