Our verdict

Sharp GP7 is a TV that certainly has its strong points, but it also has a few drawbacks. Is it perfect? No, but at its price, it does a really decent job and will serve well as quite a nice choice in many homes. The biggest plus? The Google TV system. Here Sharp GP7 shows its class – we have an enormous selection of apps, probably the largest on the market. It doesn't matter if we want to watch Netflix, YouTube, or something less known – we’ll find everything in one place. Plus, the interface is simple and intuitive, and if we don’t feel like clicking, we can just say what we’re looking for to the remote, as it supports voice commands in Polish. Google TV is definitely something that elevates the value of this TV, as we don't feel like we're missing anything. It just works. When it comes to picture quality, it's also quite good. A brightness level of 500 nits combined with Dolby Vision does the job – movies look really solid for this price range. Colours, thanks to the PFS (QLED) coating, are vivid, and the contrast from the VA panel makes dark scenes have depth, and the whole picture just "comes alive". It’s not at a premium level, but for this price, you can’t really complain too much. It’s a good picture that will satisfy most users. Of course, there are also weaker sides. The TV struggles with dynamic scenes – sports or video games won't look perfect here. The 60 Hz panel and its response time cannot provide the highest fluidity. Additionally, the manufacturer mentions HDMI 2.1, but all we find here is the ALLM function. There's a lack of VRR, G-Sync, or other additions that could attract gamers.

To sum up – Sharp GP7 is a solid TV for everyday viewing of movies and series. It’s not for gamers or fans of sports broadcasts, but for universal use – absolutely. If we value access to a rich ecosystem of apps and good picture quality at a reasonable price, this model might be just right for us.

Samsung S90F is an excellent representative of the premium mid-range in the world of OLED TVs. We have an organic matrix here that guarantees perfect contrast – and no matter how much LCD manufacturers try with local dimming in Mini LEDs, this black simply cannot be replicated. The S90F shows its class without any compromises. Compared to last year's model, we get a slightly brighter WOLED panel, which in favourable conditions can reach up to 1200 nits. This is a result that suffices for comfortable viewing of HDR materials in most scenes at reference quality – especially on streaming platforms such as Netflix. The picture quality here is very high, regardless of whether we are watching a movie, playing on a console, or streaming a sports broadcast. By the way – versatility is one of the biggest advantages of this model. With 144 Hz refresh rate, very low input lag, and a full package of gaming features (including functional HGiG and the unique Game Motion Plus motion smoother), it's hard to complain about anything here. The Tizen system performed really well on the S90F. It has its limitations – primarily the closed ecosystem and a smaller selection of apps than Google TV – but if you mainly use the most popular services, this shouldn't be an issue. A big plus is also the remote, which can operate most connected devices – even despite the lack of a numeric keypad. There are downsides too. The built-in media player has issues with some formats, and the anti-reflective coating typical of WOLEDs doesn’t handle strong light very well – reflections can be noticeable. We also do not have support for DTS and Dolby Vision, but this is a standard at Samsung that's been expected for years. So is the S90F with a WOLED panel the perfect TV? No – but it really is very close. It is one of the most polished and complete OLEDs in this price range, which can easily handle any content, from a series on Netflix, to console gaming, to a Sunday match.

Halo effect and black detail visibility:

Sharp GP7 uses a VA panel, which allows it to boast quite a decent contrast. In our measurements, we achieved around 5000:1, which is a solid result for this price range. For example, when watching bright, contrasting scenes in Oblivion, we did not have the impression that the lights were merging into a single blot. Clear boundaries between the different light sources are still visible. On the other hand, the lack of local dimming means that in dark areas of the image, blacks often take on blue tones. This is a phenomenon that did not surprise us, as it is difficult to expect absolute perfection in this area at this price point. However, it is worth keeping in mind if we expect the TV to deliver inky blacks rather than what we might experience during the test scene from Sicario 2.

In the case of the Samsung S90F, we are dealing with an interesting situation: nearly all size variants have been equipped with WOLED panels, except for the 65-inch version, which received a QD-OLED panel. In this test, we analyse the version with the WOLED panel produced by LG Display, but the question remains; Does this affect the quality of black and contrast in this part of the test? In practice – it does not. Regardless of the technology used, both panels can produce perfect black and infinite contrast. This is exactly what we expect from any top-tier television. Watching a series in the evening, in a completely dark room, is sheer pleasure. The television easily separates bright elements – such as reflections or background lights – from the deep, dark parts of the image, without creating any halo or brightness issues that high-end LCD televisions still struggle with. This is where OLED technology shows its strength – and the S90F is no exception. When it comes to black and contrast, we can't fault it at all.

In terms of HDR, Sharp GP7 can surprise us pleasantly. The maximum brightness of around 500 nits is the threshold at which the real advantages of high dynamic range begin to be visible. During our tests, we achieved stable values between 430 and 500 nits, which translated to a clearer distinction of elements in both bright and slightly darker scenes. Additionally, it has a DCI-P3 colour gamut coverage of about 95%, allowing for vibrant, visually pleasing colours. Of course, it isn't top-tier, but for this price range – a big plus.

Does the S90F handle not only blacks but also bright parts of the image? Definitely. The stories about OLEDs as "dark screens" can slowly be regarded as myth. The Samsung S90F, like the LG C5 based on a very similar panel, achieves brightness exceeding 1000 nits. This is a value more than enough to enjoy impressive and dynamic HDR images – both in movies and series. Most of the scenes we tested look stunning, with well-defined highlights and high contrast. Of course, OLED technology still has its limitations – in very bright, full-screen sequences, such as the test card from the movie The Meg (photo 5), the television may noticeably dim the image. However, it should be emphasized that such scenes are rare. It can be said that the HDR effect is good enough that even mid-range OLED models like the S90F can provide a cinematic experience in the home living room.

Out of the box, in movie mode, GP7 doesn't fare badly at all. In HD materials, we noticed slight disturbances in white balance - drops in red and blue that made the image take on a somewhat greenish hue. This is noticeable, for instance, on the faces of characters, which become less lifelike. The gamma is slightly brighter in places, resulting in less deep blacks. In 4K HDR content, a cooler, bluish tone also emerges, making the colours appear less natural. On the other hand, looking at it from a "straight out of the box" perspective, these settings aren't bad - a few minor adjustments will suffice, and with the help of special tools, we will try to improve them.

Samsung S90F, like most modern televisions, offers many picture modes, but – following our testing tradition – we checked it out in the best one, which is the Filmmaker mode. Thanks to this, the image looks much more natural than in the default, often oversaturated settings. It was neither overly saturated nor artificially dimmed – simply closer to what one should see. Of course, “more accurate” doesn’t mean “perfect”. Unfortunately, our S90F had significant issues with white balance, particularly in the blue color range, resulting in a slightly yellowish filter being applied to most scenes. Someone might say it looks more “filmic” – because it’s warmer – but let’s not kid ourselves, George Lucas didn’t film Star Wars in sepia 😉 (you’ll find a comparison with the scene below as always).

Additionally, in HDR materials, there was an issue with brightness management. The EOTF curve showed a clear “spike” in brightness – the television brightened the image more than it should have, causing some effects to look too intense and deviating from the reference. Fortunately, some of these problems can be eliminated through professional calibration – you’ll read about its effects later in the review.

7.5/10

9.2/10

Calibration really makes a difference in Sharp GP7. After making adjustments, we achieved a better white balance in HD content, and the colours started to look much more natural, with minimal deviations and no clear dominance of individual hues. In 4K HDR, the change isn't as spectacular, but it's still noticeable. The gamma has been brought to a more neutral level, although a slight boost in the brightest details on the screen is still evident. The inability to control dynamic tone mapping limits our manoeuvrability, but nonetheless, this is a significant step forward compared to the factory settings.

After calibration, we managed to eliminate practically all the previously mentioned errors. Older movies in SDR quality finally look like they should – without the sepia effect or artificial aging of the image. The atmosphere of the classics is back in place (no thanks needed, Star Wars fans), and the colours no longer resemble an Instagram filter.

One of the key changes was also the improvement of brightness characteristics in HDR content. We managed to control the EOTF curve in almost a reference manner. Admittedly, the most demanding users may detect minimal deviations in brightness, but honestly – most viewers won't even notice that. And it's no surprise because the vast majority of errors fall below the ΔE 3 value, which is below the threshold of visibility. After calibration, the S90F (WOLED) becomes a truly excellent display – one on which you can enjoy nearly perfect image quality.

Smoothness of tonal transitions

9/10

7.3/10

The fluidity of tonal transitions is a strong point of GP7 Sharp. Colour shades flow smoothly, without distinct lines or blotches. Whether we were watching dynamic action scenes or calm, picturesque landscape shots, we did not encounter significant issues with so-called banding. Any potential shortcomings are subtle enough that most of us wouldn't even notice them. The only flaw is the average uniformity of backlighting, which can at times disrupt the perfect effect.

No and here we must honestly admit – the S90F has somewhat let us down. Compared to last year's S90D model with a WOLED panel (very similar to the one used this year), this year's Samsung performed worse. And this is not only against its main competitor, LG C5, but even when compared to its older brother. The biggest issues arise in dark scenes, where difficulties with smooth colour transitions are noticeable – the screen slightly steps the tonal transitions, causing some sections to lose their naturalness. We’re not sure what exactly went wrong – perhaps it's a software issue or a different processing algorithm. It's a shame, because we hoped that the level from last year would at least be maintained. Unfortunately, it's a step backwards.

The TV can scale lower quality content quite well. Our test patterns were well reproduced, and although there was minimal banding with fine, delicate shapes (such as thin branches), it still looked satisfactory. Additionally, Sharp GP7 offers a “10-bit colour reproduction” feature to smooth tonal transitions in poor quality materials. It is useful, but at the cost of some details, so we recommend turning it on only when we're really watching something of poor quality.

Digital Image Processing in S90F:

Fortunately, Samsung, like in most of its models, manages to effectively tackle the unwanted posterisation effect in the S90F. The function responsible for this element is noise reduction, which does a pretty good job of smoothing tonal transitions and eliminating unnatural colour blending – of course, within its capabilities. Unfortunately, it works quite aggressively, so using it comes with trade-offs. In addition to improving gradation, it can also remove film grain or slightly soften facial features. In this case, the choice is yours – do you prefer a more "clean" image, or do you care about preserving the original texture of the material.

Image Scaling in S90F:

In this year's model, Samsung has implemented its proprietary AI processor – NQ4 Gen3, which really handles upscaling quite well. In our test scenes, the TV effectively "pulled up" lower quality towards artificial 4K – the image was more enjoyable to view, and the differences in sharpness between native and scaled content were minimal. Unfortunately, behind all this AI marketing façade lies a certain shortcoming. The S90F struggles with overscan. If you reach for truly archival material – e.g. a VHS tape of your parents' wedding – you have to reckon with the fact that the lower part of the image may get cut off. The function to adapt the image to resolution simply does not work as it should here.

Blur (native resolution, maximum refresh rate):

With a 60 Hz panel and average response time, it's hard to expect miraculous smoothness. In dynamic tests, like the one with the “little green man”, it’s clear that the picture can blur and occasionally lose sharpness. For watching movies and series, this is acceptable, especially since you can use the motion smoother with three levels of adjustment. However, if we care about ultra-smooth sports broadcasts or super-responsive gameplay, we might feel a bit dissatisfied.

S90F really handles motion excellently – after all, it’s an OLED with a 144 Hz panel, so sports and games look absolutely stunning on it. The image is smooth, clear, and there’s no room for ghosting or blurring, which can sometimes plague cheaper LCDs.

The TV also comes equipped with motion smoothness settings that allow you to customise everything to your liking. We have motion blur reduction and judder reduction – you can set it so that the image is super smooth (even to the point of looking a bit soap opera-like), or more cinematic, with the classic “jumpiness” of 24 frames. The choice is yours, Samsung imposes nothing.

Let's not kid ourselves – GP7 Sharp is not a television for the most demanding console gamers. Yes, we have ALLM, which automatically switches the TV to low latency mode, but it lacks VRR or G-Sync. We also won't find any advanced menu to help adjust settings during gameplay. Dolby Vision in games? It's there, but with such a large input lag that it's hard to talk about comfort. If we play occasionally and don't aim for the highest standards, it can be managed, but tech enthusiasts will face disappointment.

When it comes to gaming features – the S90F has absolutely nothing to complain about. Aside from the lack of Dolby Vision, which is already the norm for Samsung. The television operates at 144 Hz, has four HDMI 2.1 ports, so you can easily connect more than one console or PC. Onboard, we also find Game Bar – a practical tool that allows you to quickly preview picture settings, VRR status, ALLM mode, and other useful options. Game Motion Plus deserves special mention – Samsung's proprietary motion smoother that actually works sensibly in games. The image appears smoother, but without any artificial effects or slowdowns.

It's also worth mentioning the HGiG feature, which – and this may be a slight surprise – works correctly. We bring this up because Samsung clearly messed something up in one of the recent updates, and in some models, the option responsible for HGiG simply... disappears from the menu. Setting it up becomes almost impossible. Fortunately, our S90F unit did not have this issue, but the situation is dynamic, so it's worth keeping this in mind and regularly checking for new software versions and information from the manufacturer.

When it comes to input lag, we have mixed feelings. In 4K, we achieve around 13 ms, which is a great result and is more than sufficient for most of us. Unfortunately, Dolby Vision raises it to a level that makes gaming practically impossible, and in Full HD, around 37 ms is already a noticeable value for those of us who prioritise quick reactions. It's best to utilise 4K if we're aiming for the highest responsiveness.

Input lag in the S90F is at a level that's practically monitor-like. Under the best conditions, it achieved a score of 5 ms, which is an absolutely stunning result – even a benchmark for the most demanding gamers. Whether you're playing fast-paced shooters, fighting games, or simply need instant response – the S90F does not disappoint in this regard at all.

As a monitor for office work or browsing the internet, Sharp GP7 performs quite well. The Chroma 4:4:4 provides text clarity, although with very small fonts on a dark background, we noticed some minor issues. It's hard to recommend it for PC gaming due to the lack of advanced features and higher refresh rates, but for simple office work or watching movies in the evening – why not?

S90F is a great tool for both gaming on PC and daily work. Gamers can rest easy – the TV effortlessly supports image synchronisation with NVIDIA graphics cards thanks to G-Sync, and the 144 Hz refresh rate combined with very low input lag only confirms this. S90F also excels as a monitor for working with text. Of course, the readability of fonts may be slightly compromised by the characteristic pixel structure in the RWGB arrangement, but this is a topic well known primarily to those who work with a lot of text, code, or Excel spreadsheets. For most users, this will be perfectly acceptable.

Viewing angles

In terms of viewing angles, we have the typical limitations of VA panels. If we sit centrally in front of the screen, everything looks good, but if you lean back too far, the colours and contrast begin to fade. This is nothing unusual for this type of panel, so it's worth being aware that when watching with a larger group, the extreme spots on the couch will have a worse view.

The viewing angles on the S90F are very good, although it must be honestly admitted that they are slightly inferior to the 65" version with the QD-OLED panel. Nevertheless, the picture quality at wide angles performs very well – colours remain vivid, and brightness doesn’t drop dramatically when viewed from the side. There's no need to move the TV closer to see a clear image. For most users, this level is more than sufficient.

The satin matrix doesn’t eliminate reflections as effectively as we would like, so in a bright, highly sunlit room, we might see some glare. Fortunately, the television has quite decent brightness (around 430 cd/m²), which allows us to use it without covering the windows, as long as the sun isn't shining directly on the screen. In extremely sunlit interiors, it may be trickier, but in standard conditions, it’s still usable.

S90F is really bright for an OLED TV. Of course, it shouldn’t be compared to Mini-LED TVs or the brightest high-end OLEDs, but under normal lighting conditions, it’s easy to watch something during the day. The brightness is high enough that there’s no need to close the curtains every time a movie or series is turned on. However, it’s important to remember that the anti-reflective coating on WOLED panels is not the best. Reflections can be noticeable, especially with bright light coming in from the window. In such cases, it’s best to reach for curtains.

Sharp GP7 operates on the Google TV system, which provides access to a rich library of applications and streaming services. Its main advantage is the clear interface that integrates content from various sources in one place, making it easy to search and manage. Voice control in Polish works perfectly, and with the remote that has a built-in microphone, we can quickly find the content we're interested in, such as movies, series, or music. Regular system updates ensure that Google TV stays current, adapting to new user needs and introducing additional features. It's a convenient and modern solution that makes using the TV intuitive and enjoyable.


Although Google TV is a strong point of the GP7, the other features of the television are not as impressive. It lacks the ability to record programs or picture-in-picture (PiP) mode, and Apple users may feel the absence of support for AirPlay. However, there is Miracast for Windows and Bluetooth, allowing the connection of headphones or a keyboard. This is a sufficient foundation for less demanding users, although those expecting more advanced features may feel unsatisfied. The Sharp GP7 mainly focuses on the smart capabilities offered by Google TV, leaving traditional solutions in the background.

Samsung S90F is equipped with a range of classic TV features, such as EPG, CI module, and headphone support, but there’s also more to it. Thanks to the presence of several tuners, the TV offers a picture-in-picture (PiP) function – very useful, for example, when we are watching one match but want to check the score of another match happening simultaneously. It's a pity that Samsung has completely abandoned the USB recording feature for some time now, but this is partially compensated by good integration with decoders and other devices. The remote – while small and lacking a numeric keypad – allows you to control multiple devices connected to the TV. You can easily manage a decoder, amplifier, console, or other gear with it – all without needing to reach for several remotes.

As for the Smart TV system – Tizen on the S90F operates very smoothly, which is not a given in cheaper models with this system. The system itself is extensive and offers plenty of features – we have screen mirroring, AirPlay, Bluetooth device support, and quite a few options related to smart home functionality, such as controlling bulbs or other smart devices directly from the TV. However, it’s important to remember that Tizen is a closed system, so when it comes to apps – we are limited to what we find in the Samsung store. And while it is quite extensive, it doesn’t match the flexibility of the Google TV platform. It’s worth keeping this in mind if you have specific needs for niche applications.

The media player performs quite well, supporting most popular formats. The only minor downside is the inability to change the font colour in subtitles, although for some of us, that’s a detail. We can always install another player from the Google Play store and customise it to our own preferences.

The built-in media player in the S90F is alright and supports quite a few popular formats. Unfortunately, during testing – once again – we encountered issues, despite the manufacturer's claims. The television did not play some formats that are supposedly supported, such as HEIC photos (Apple's version), or SRT and SUB subtitle files. In everyday use for most people, such a player will be sufficient to play a movie from a USB drive, but it’s worth keeping in mind that surprises may occur. Perhaps the situation will be improved in future updates, but at the time of writing this review – it works as it works.

Despite collaborating with Harman Kardon, the speakers perform rather average. The sound is decent, but there's nothing in it that really surprises us. It doesn’t support DTS:X, however, Dolby Atmos is onboard, which, when combined with good material, can slightly enhance the experience. If we care about better audio quality, we will likely consider purchasing an external soundbar or audio system anyway.

The S90F plays really quite nicely, with noticeable bass and pretty good dynamics. A definite plus is the support for Dolby Atmos, which allows the TV to sound a bit more “spatial” – of course, as much as the built-in 2.1 set allows 😉. Unfortunately, as is often the case with Samsung, it lacks support for the DTS:X format. So, if you want to take advantage of its capabilities, you'll need to connect your audio equipment directly to the amplifier, rather than to the TV itself – otherwise, it just won't work.
