According to our television expert
The Samsung 65Q95T lets you enjoy a lifelike image quality. This QLED TV converts light into pure colors, so subtle hues are clearly visible. The full-array backlit local dimming dims the dark parts of the screen and brightens the bright parts. In combination with the peak brightness of 2,000 nits, this makes for a powerful contrast. During a scene in space, the stars will shine brightly in the black sky. Thanks to the refresh rate of 100Hz, images look smooth. For example, you won't see lags when James Bond starts running. In addition, you can easily watch TV with a group of friends. A special screen filter enlarges the viewing angle so that the image is also clear when viewed from the side. You can connect all devices and the power cable to the One Connect Box. That way, you only connect 1 cable to the TV and you can neatly tuck the devices out of sight.
Note: due to the screen size of 65 inches, which equates to a screen diagonal of 1.65 meters, the 65Q95T doesn't fit in every living room. The included One Connect Box is 350 millimeters wide, 175 millimeters deep, and 80 millimeters high.

Design
Appearance It's personal, but I like it because of the sober execution. The foot is sturdy, the panel is 3 cm thick and nicely finished. Q95T has the One Connect cable, this is a fantastic invention. The remote is intuitive and one of the best I've operated in a long time. I can even control my Andoid box via eARC.
Image Then the image. Finally, the most important thing with a TV. That's just fine. Better than expected with a QLED, the black values are very nice, the image is uniform and there are few Halo effects from the backlight of the local dimming. The color matching requires a lot of setting and testing. The many image enhancement options don't really improve the image and cause weird artefacts such as jerks with movement, over-sharpened image, or unnatural contrast. HDR is beautiful, the extremely high light output makes this a TV for the bright living room. The response times and input delay are in good order and the presence of HDMI 2.1 and Freesync make this a very suitable panel for the next gen consoles. With Gaming as the main purpose of use, this is really a top TV. The Game mode even turns on automatically when you connect a console. I've tried a lot but think if this becomes my regular TV I'll consider a professional calibration with some good advice on what's best to turn it off and on. The image itself is basically good.
Sound The sound is fine for sound from a TV but a Soundbar is still recommended if you buy a TV of this price. We will test it next week!
Smart TV Basically, the menus of TIZEN OS are fine. It is clear where you need to be, and can this come along well in 2020. Before you can fully use the SmartTV functions, however, you must link your TV with a Samsung account. For that you also have to agree to a long list of terms and conditions. In order to "provide personalized TV experiences", Samsung wants to keep track of what you watch, which sites you visit and how your network is structured. All this to make the Advertising on the devices more relevant with their IBA Service. Moreover, these services are checked by default, while they are not strictly necessary. As far as I'm concerned, not as it should be. The Samsung own options with a Samsung phone and streaming to the TV works fine if you take the time to try things out in the options. You can connect wirelessly from your laptop and even keyboard and mouse to the TV and use it to control the TV or your laptop. Here too there are sometimes peculiarities that the keyboard does not work in some menu options, but that should be fixable with software updates. In terms of content, the Smart TV function is not so complete that it makes a smart set-top box unnecessary. When playing media I noticed that many of my movies, big titles like Jurassic Parc, have NO sound. This appears to be because the TV does not support DTS sound in the smart TV function. A movie without sound is less enjoyable to watch. The basic apps are there, Netflix, etc., but a Kodi media player is missing, the Ziggo TV app via the CI plus module also works very slowly. Finally, the Voice Recognition, Samsung's own version Bixby, does not work in Dutch. All in all, a separate Android or Apple media player remains necessary and this TV is not as smart as you would expect.
In summary, this is a good TV, especially for gamers. But to be fair, the comparable version from last year, the Q80R was also fine. But the extra options make this a really nice thing.

After considering to buy a new TV for weeks, I finally made the decision to buy QE65E95T with 500 euro cashback from Samsung to replace my old 43 inch LG 4K LCD TV from 2017. TV is delivered super quick early in the next morning.
Watching TV is now more fun as a family activity during corona times. Now we feel like we have our home-cinema!
Positives:
Downsides:
Suggestions to possible buyers:
It really is worth it. Especially with the 500 euro cashback promotion.
But home theatre experience might worth combining with a good soundbar.
Default settings are not there to stay.

Appearance The sober design of this TV appeals to many people, including me. The foot is super sturdy, the panel is 3 cm thick and beautifully finished. Q95T has the One Connect cable, this is a fantastic invention, which makes it possible to set up the TV nicely and also to guide the cable smoothly along a movable or rotatable stand. There are also longer One Connect cables for sale, so that you can really put all connections on the other side of the room. Well done Samsung.
The remote is intuitive and one of the best I've operated in a long time. give Via eARC I can even control my Andoid box with the remote of the TV. Also compliments. The unfortunate thing is that if you connect a soudbar it has to be on this port and this party is over. A real shame...
Image Then the picture, that's just okay. Better than expected with a QLED, the black values are very nice, the image is uniform and there are few Halo effects from the backlight of the local dimming. The color matching requires a lot of setting and testing. The many image enhancement options don't really improve the image and cause weird artifacts such as jerks with movement, over-sharpened image, flickering or unnatural contrast. All of these really need to come off. HDR is beautiful, the extremely high light output makes this a good TV for the bright living room.
The response times and input delay are in good order and the presence of HDMI 2.1 and Freesync make this a very suitable panel for the next gen consoles. With Gaming as the main purpose of use, this is really a top TV. The Game mode even turns on automatically when you connect a console.
Sound The sound is fine for sound from a TV, but a Soundbar is definitely recommended if you buy a TV of this price. See my earlier comment that you can no longer use the eARC for your media player!

All this to make the Advertising on the devices more relevant with their IBA Service. Moreover, these services are checked by default, while they are not strictly necessary. As far as I'm concerned, not as it should be and a considerable NO that no longer fits in this time.
The Samsung own options with a Samsung phone and streaming to the TV works fine if you take the time to try things out in the options. You can connect wirelessly from your laptop and even keyboard and mouse to the TV and use it to control the TV or your laptop. Here too there are sometimes peculiarities that the keyboard does not work in some menu options, but that should be fixable with software updates. Hopefully the software updates will continue to come with this model.

When playing media I noticed that many of my movies, big titles like Jurassic Parc, have NO sound. This appears to be because the TV does not support DTS sound in the smart TV function. For this price that is really not possible, a film without sound is less enjoyable to watch.
The basic apps are there, Netflix, etc., but a Kodi media player app is missing, the Ziggo TV app via the CI plus module also works very slowly, unworkable. Finally, the Voice Recognition, Samsung's own version Bixby, does not work in Dutch.
All in all, a separate Android or Apple media player remains necessary and this TV is not as smart as you would expect for this price.
In summary, this is a good TV, especially for gamers. But to be fair, the comparable version from last year, the Q80R was also fine, better in some areas and is a fraction of the price.
