Samsung R95H Hits 1.84 Delta-E SDR Accuracy as HDR Needs Calibration

1 articles · Updated · ZDNet · Jun 4

Summary

  • ZDNET lab tests found Samsung's R95H Micro RGB TV delivered a 1.84 Delta-E SDR score, a level considered perceptually perfect and competitive with premium OLED sets.
  • Louisville testing tied that result to Samsung's Micro RGB design—separate red, green and blue LED backlights with redesigned focusing lenses that reduce color bleed and blooming while sharpening contrast.
  • HDR was less precise out of the box: the R95H posted a 4.26 Delta-E score, above the ideal 3.0 threshold, though calibration was cited as a likely fix for tracking errors.
  • The set still reached 94.38% Rec. 2020 gamut coverage and 2,353 nits in HDR, giving it unusually wide color range and strong brightness even when default tuning pushes saturation too far.
  • At $3,200 for the 65-inch model, the R95H positions Micro RGB as a high-end OLED challenger whose picture quality could improve further as the technology matures.
