Manufacturer: Samsung

The Samsung QA83S95FAEXXY is an 83.5″ 4K OLED television built around a 3840 x 2160 resolution panel with a 165Hz refresh rate, making it a capable option for both cinematic viewing and fast-paced content. It supports HDR10, HDR10+, and HLG formats, and features anti-reflection coating alongside an ambient light sensor for adapting to different room conditions. The set runs a built-in smart TV platform with voice command support, compatibility with Google Assistant and Alexa, and AirPlay integration for wireless streaming from Apple devices.

On the connectivity side, the QA83S95FAEXXY includes four HDMI 2.1 ports with ARC and eARC support, four USB ports, and a single RJ45 ethernet port, complemented by Wi-Fi 5 and Bluetooth 5.3 for wireless options. Adaptive sync is handled through AMD FreeSync, FreeSync Premium, and FreeSync Premium Pro, and the display covers 178° horizontal and vertical viewing angles. Audio features include stereo speakers, a subwoofer, Dolby Atmos, Dolby Audio, and digital output, while the cabinet measures 1844.2 mm wide and just 12.6 mm thick with a total weight of 51,900 g and VESA mount support.

Pros
  • The 165Hz refresh rate combined with AMD FreeSync Premium Pro support makes the display well-suited for smooth motion handling in fast-moving content
  • Four HDMI 2.1 ports provide ample connectivity for multiple high-bandwidth devices simultaneously
  • At just 12.6 mm thick, the cabinet has a notably slim profile for an 83.5-inch screen
  • The rechargeable remote removes the need for disposable batteries
  • HDR10, HDR10+, and HLG support broadens compatibility with a wide range of HDR content sources
  • Dolby Atmos and a built-in subwoofer mean the onboard audio system goes beyond basic stereo output
Cons
  • Dolby Vision is not supported, which excludes compatibility with a widely used HDR format found on many streaming platforms
  • There is no 3.5mm headset jack, so wired headphone connection requires an adapter or alternative audio output
  • No external memory slot limits local storage expansion options
  • At 51,900 g, the set is quite heavy, which can complicate solo installation or repositioning
  • Wi-Fi support tops out at Wi-Fi 5, with no Wi-Fi 6 or higher available
  • Siri and Apple HomeKit are not supported despite AirPlay being present, limiting deeper integration with Apple smart home setups
Who is this for?

This television is a strong fit for users who want a large-screen OLED experience in a dedicated viewing room, particularly those who regularly consume HDR content across HDR10, HDR10+, and HLG formats. The 165Hz refresh rate paired with AMD FreeSync Premium Pro also makes it well-suited for console or PC gaming setups where smooth motion and reduced tearing are priorities. With four HDMI 2.1 ports, a built-in smart platform, AirPlay, Google Assistant, and Alexa compatibility, it caters to users who want a central hub for a connected home entertainment system with multiple devices attached.

Who is this NOT for?

Users who rely heavily on Dolby Vision for their streaming or disc-based content will find this set limiting, as that format is not supported despite being common across major platforms and players. The absence of a 3.5mm headset jack and an external memory slot makes it a poor match for those who prefer wired private listening or straightforward local media playback from removable storage. Additionally, at over 51 kg and with no Wi-Fi 6 support, it is not ideal for users who need easy repositioning or those in environments where a faster, more reliable wireless connection is essential.
