Note that the S95DB and the S95B are the SAME TV - the only difference is the DB model is a costco-exclusive and includes a webcam.
The software for the S95B is completely unusable. That's true. It's finicky. It's too vibrant for some content. In short, I would take the C2 over the S95B if the primary content was movies for sure, even though the S95B looks way better, the support and incidentals make it a bad choice.
HOWEVER
I have the S95B hooked up to a 4090 pc gaming machine and for that purpose (high end gaming) there is literally nothing that even comes close. It stomps on every other television ever made, and if you're willing to tweak the service menu, which is very easy and doesn't require anything special, it's godlike. I cannot over emphasize how good this TV is for gaming.
This tv creates colors you have never seen before on a screen (literally; the color space is that wide). Things look like they pop off the screen, and motion is buttery smooth. You can also set it to 144hz which means it does 4K native @ 144fps.
I must repeat that if you're primarily watching movies and shows, get something else!
AND IF YOU DO GET IT, GET A BURN IN WARRANTY. I get it's an unfortunate extra cost, but it's necessary. Personally I got the Best Buy 5 year, which was quite expensive.
If you can afford it and are a gamer this is the television of GODS, straight up. I wish I could invite you all to my mancave to experience the panel because there's absolutely no way you can appreciate how incredible it is until you see it firsthand gaming on a 4090 at maxed resolution/fps.
I spare no expense for gaming and always buy the best, so I know what a good panel is. And this panel has no competition for gaming. Nothing is even close.

Replaced dishwasher with a Bosch, beautiful. Switched to LG on TVs and dryer, zero issues. Better performance. Still have the fridge—I have to unplug it every 1-2 months as it comes up with a critical error warning suggesting contents won't be cold. It seems to reset that annoyance until the next time.
Samsung products are laughably terrible. I've tried them all, every single one has a bad story within a short while. I've owned LG and other brands. Not to jinx it, but far fewer/no issues. Relative to Samsung, I'd never waste my time and money again.
Not to mention Samsung went the "QLED" route for a while. That speaks volumes to how blatantly misleading they could be by tricking customers into equating it to the superior "OLED" but the QLED is far cheaper. I'm waiting for a technology that utilizes a capital "i" so they can just type a lowercase L. For instance: ILED they'll just double up on the L and leave the first lowercase.
Feel free to argue otherwise.
As far as the name goes, Samsung does not name it QLED to mislead. They name it that way because they are differentiating the technology they developed from other manufactures. QLED and QD OLED TVs use quantum dot displays which improve color brightness. If a company has what they consider a superior product, they generally like to name it something so that it stands apart from the competition and copyright the name so other manufactures don't try to confuse their product to the superior Samsung one.
With that being said, as far as last year's OLED models go, Samsung's S95B series was probably the second best OLED TV on the market with the first being Sony's A95K which used the same panels made by Samsung Display as the S95B. LG had a huge problem with a pink tint on their displays which were pretty obvious in scenes with a lot of white or if you viewed them at a slight angle. While overall the picture on the LG's might have been more accurate overall, the QD OLED panels had colors that would pop and the overall brightness of the display made the LGs look dull when compared side by side. This years models are much closer. The LG G3 panels use a micro lens array WOLED panel which gives them a huge brightness boost. Compared with the new model Samsung S95C, they are almost neck and neck when properly calibrated. Where Samsung beats LG in my opinion on this years models (and last years for that matter) is gaming. The Samsung's colors tend to pop out a lot more compared to the LGs and games tend to look more vibrant.
Samsung does not work well with receivers either. Constant frustration.
That said, if you want the tv that just works for years to come, pick LG

"Thank you may I have another!" type of consumer. No, I think it's completely fair to conclude there are systemic issues when the same company was 5 for 5 in premature failure. You can cry "small sample size," which is ridiculous logic. Must I purchase a statistically significant number, say 1000, before I can conclude anything on the company?
In other words, since we only ever buy less than half a dozen fridges/dryers/dishwashers/etc., we can never draw any conclusion because we didn't buy a sample size large enough to make any "logically consistent" conclusion.
Or you can be like any normal person who finds their suite of appliances from the same manufacturer all to fail that, hey, I'll never bother buying one from them again!

Yeah, everything I'm finding on the Web shows Samsung introduced the QLED branding to TVs in 2017, oddly when OLEDs were dominating. In other words, confusing the marketplace. Casual TV buyers can easily mistake OLED vs QLED, and the $500-1000 price difference can achieve a quick sale.
Like I said, my every experience with Samsung products have resulted in premature failure of key components. The QLED introduction as OLEDs are dominating the market is icing on the cake for yet another reason for me to avoid the products. I don't need to buy 800 Ford F-150s to make a conclusion on Ford.
In fact, the chances of going 5/5 on premature failure for different appliances is quite stunning. What are the odds the fridge, the washer, the dishwasher, the dryer, and the TV, all have significant issues within 0-36 months?

And for statistical purposes, yes, purchasing 1 tv and having it go bad when a company makes and sells millions of them is a statistically insignificant number and says no more than the fact that my family has 7 TVs which are going 5 or more years strong. As I said earlier, Samsung has the largest TV market share in the world. If their quality control was as horrible as you say, they wouldn't be one of the most owned TVs in the world.
The LG has better interface, software, processing, picture enhancements, and app support.
The Samsung is basically a monitor.
The LG is a smart TV.
As far as power issues go, I wasn't aware Samsung had any. I know LG has had quite a few in their history. The C1 from what I remember was bad with them and I want to say there were a few other models with power supply issues as well. I doubt the G3 will have the same issues as the MLA panel causes the tv to use less power than the previous generation.

But yeah, I love the cognitive dissonance on your end. "They manufacture millions and you purchased 5 products…"
Translation: no human being can draw any conclusions on any consumer product because they only buy a handful of them over the course of a lifetime which is dwarfed by the billions of products they made over the same timeframe.
In other words, no opinion can be crafted, positive or negative, because a person will only ever buy 4-5 refrigerators. Or a dozen TVs. Or <insert any big ticket purchase here>.
Samsung appliances are notoriously bad. And my experiences line up with all the complaints. Same part failures. Same errors. Same time frames. All within 0-36 months. Major components. Glad your TVs worked out. That's better than your logic.
