I bought the product during Black Firday for 1600.- from the competition XD. It replaced our 10-year-old Samsung TV. We were very happy with the previous one, so it was a Samsung again. The picture is very nice. Strong colours, real black. I recommend that everyone unpack the thing very carefully, as the TV is extremely thin. I've read on the internet that some people broke the display when they didn't lift it properly.

Didn't buy this on Galaxus due to the price, I bought it elsewhere at 1600 chf.
To be as quick as possible: if the price difference is not equal or greater than 1500chf from the A95K, buy the A95K.
The main reason for this is the very aggressive APL based auto-dimming that comes with the Samsung tv that is not possible to change unless you access the Samsung Service menu that will void your warranty.
If you watch content on youtube with a static backgroud (youtubers reviews or news channel, etc) or use this as a monitor, if the video stays too long on a static background image, the screen will automatically darken to a point that you almost cant see a thing. This is a known issue that was never solved by Samsung during the year this model was available on the market.
All tvs have ASBL and Sony has a much better management for this setting than Samsung (search for "hdtvtest s95b vs a95k" on youtube where this is better explained).
On top of that, the motion engine is simply not near Sony. Motion interpolation is also an issue if you watch fast paced content.
I do love this TV, but it's not worth more than 1000chf since it implies that you will void the warranty to fix a factory problem it comes with.

I was able to buy the 65 inch in an employee offer (not Digitec) for a ridiculous CHF 1499. Out of curiosity about the new QD Oled technology, I bought it and yes, the panel is super cool. If you like OLED, you'll be happy here too. BUT I regret not having remained loyal to the SONY brand. The software is cluttered with Samsung TV+ and other unnecessary ballast, so that the TV feels slower in the menu than my 4-year-old SONY TV with Android. What particularly annoys me are software-related issues. I can set my own picture settings for each source, but when I switch between sources, the TV takes a few fractions of a second to adjust the picture settings each time, which makes the TV sluggish. In addition, I don't like the fact that the TV sends a switch-on signal to the end device when I just click on the relevant tile in the menu. This leads to me unintentionally starting my PS5. It would be better if the TV required initial input to start this process. Lastly, I'm sorry to say that the HDR in combination PS5 Gaming , is completely oversaturated. It felt like I needed a lot more time to calibrate the picture in general to make it work for me.
My short conclusion: Samsung has a great panel in this TV. However, the same panel in a SONY is clearly the better TV. :-)

I had a 10 year old Samsung so I chose Samsung OLED As with any modern TV you have to adjust the picture to your liking, once you do you will wonder how you ever got along without it before! The basic sound is strong enough for normal use and the TV works well with the PS5.

The quality of television has increased many times over and increases the fun factor, a super device.
