What reviewers say

Both reviews praise its bright, vibrant pictures, deep blacks and extensive gaming support, but criticise the missing Dolby Vision and awkward menus. TechRadar found improved picture finesse and bass over the S95B; What Hi-Fi found shading less natural than rivals and sound lacking bass weight. Both describe strong contrast and sharp detail.
