Samsung confirms its 2023 QD-OLED TVs start at just $1,900, are available now

Ever since Samsung formally announced the $4,500 price tag of its highly anticipated 77-inch S95C 4K QD-OLED TV, we’ve been patiently waiting to hear how much the company’s other 2023 OLED models will cost. Now we know that S90C will be its most affordable 2023 QD-OLED model at $1,900 for the 55-inch screen size. You can order them starting March 20 at most major Samsung retailers, except the 65-inch S90C, which is confirmed, but has yet to be released.

Samsung has also finally confirmed something we reported on during CES 2023: its flagship S95C QD-OLED is also available in 65- and 55-inch models.

Wondering about the differences between the S95C and S90C? It comes down to brightness, sound, and design. The S95C is about 30% brighter than the S90C. The S90C retains the same brightness levels as Samsung’s excellent 2022 S95B.

The S90C gets Dolby Atmos with Samsung’s Object Tracking Sound Lite system, which helps to adjust the sound parameters based on the content, while the S95C has Atmos with Object Tracking Sound+ — an AI-enhanced version of the sound system.

The S95C also benefits from Samsung’s new ultraslim One Connect Box, which puts all of the TV’s connections (power, HDMI ports, and antenna connection) in their own slender enclosure, which can then be piggybacked on the included stand for an all-in-one effect, or separated from the TV using the thin umbilical cord. This lets the S95C be wall-mounted almost flush with the wall.

 

Both models have Samsung’s AI-powered Neural Quantum processor, which handles the TVs’ billions of colors, as well as 4K upscaling and motion processing. For console gamers, the screens can deliver up to 120Hz variable refresh rates, and PC gamers benefit from Game Motion Plus, which takes that speed up to 144Hz.

Here’s the full lineup of 2023 Samsung OLED TVs:

Samsung’s 2024 TVs are bigger and packed with AI and accessibility features
2024 Samsung Neo QLED 8K TV.

If 2023 was the year of ultra-bright TVs, then 2024 is shaping up to be the year we see AI features burrow their way into them more than ever. Today at CES 2024 in Las Vegas, Samsung let loose some of the details on its much-anticipated lineup of its Neo QLED and OLED TVs for the year, and we'll have to wait for pricing and availability, but we can confirm that it's doubled down on AI to help make things look better, sound clearer, and get more customized to what you're watching.
Samsung Neo QLED 8K lineup
8K TVs still suffer from not having much content out there to watch on them, but that hasn't stopped the big TV brands from pushing the tech forward in anticipation. This year's 8K lineup of Neo QLED mini-LEDs from Samsung includes two models, the QN800D and QN900D, both of which will be available in 65- to 85-inch models.

Again, details were a bit sparse at the time of this writing, but in a press release from Samsung, the company outlined improved sound and enhanced design, calling the QN900D Neo QLED the slimmest 8K TV ever to hit the market. That, and both new QLED 8K models are getting a processor upgrade to something called the NQA AI Gen3 that Samsung says features an on-device AI engine that is twice as fast as its predecessor and with eight times the neural networks.

Sony’s 2023 A95L QD-OLED TV up for preorder in August starting at $2,800
The Sony A95L 4L QD-OLED TV set up on the floor.

In May, Sony announced the details of its 2023 TV lineup, with one very big exception -- its flagship A95L Bravia XR TV based on QD-OLED display tech. Today, we have those details too. The A95L starts at $2,800 for the 55-inch model, $3,500 for the 65-inch model, and $5,000 for the largest 77-inch screen size. All three sizes will be available for preorder starting August 21, 2023. Sony hasn't indicated when preorders will begin shipping to customers.

Sony's prices, as expected, are higher than those of the Samsung S95C and S90C, the only other TVs that are currently based on Samsung Display's QD-OLED panel technology. The 55-inch S95C, for example, is regularly priced at $2,500 -- a $300 savings over the A95L -- however, Samsung is currently selling all of its S95C models at a discount. With a sale price of $2,300 for the 55-inch S95C, the gap grows to $500.
