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.

Rtings shows the differences between the two to be minimal. And when the QD-OLED gets the burn-in, LG picture quality is the hand's-down winner.
LG OLED has been the superior display tech since its introduction, for mainstream consumers.
Dolby Vision is the superior HDR tech and is well-supported. Sammy's HDR10+ is the Betamax of HDR. Of my 300+ 4K physical blu-rays, 35% have DV. Only 3% have HDR10+.

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
The LG immediately recognized my Sonos.
The Samsung Sonos interface took a lot of effort. I got it eventually, but there are numerous complaints about connecting equipment to the Samsung. My next purchase will be LG.
Interface let's it down, have to unplug it every now and again as it forgets itself but yeah next year when the C3 start to go on sale I'll take what I can get for it and come into this century haha

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.
Amazon Prime, AppleTV and Hulu support and use HDR10+ so tvs can take great advantage of HDR.
Netflix, HBO Max and several others don't and do use Dolby Vision or just standard HDR. Of course Dolby Vision or HDR10+ always looks better, so it really depends on what you're watching.
S95B is a QD-Oled so it's definitely a much more capable tv in several areas. At this price and in the market for an Oled, I would definitely recommend.

It does measure better in many areas versus LGs Oled but the overall experience is not, the G2 was the better pick over this imo, a much better engineered product. If you play video games all day then yea majority of tvs will work for that, but for other uses Samsungs engineers have work to do, they are pros at making benchmarks look good but not much else.
Also, you are correct that the quality of the panel can make or break DV but proper processing of DV is just as important, and judging by Samsungs track record, even if they did get the licensing, the implementation probably wouldn't be good at all and would probably have to be fixed by pro calibrators.
Perhaps with some years to mature the Samsung QD Oled will catch up in the areas that it falters in. I sold mine and kept my A80J, now looking towards to A95L and G3.
BTW this thread shows me people will find a way to fanboy over everything. We re taking sides in a LG v Samsung debate now?
