The Samsung OLED S90F in the 65-inch version is a television that shows how significant a qualitative leap can be achieved with a QD-OLED panel. The model we tested proved that a mid-range OLED does not mean compromises at all – on the contrary, in terms of image quality, it is one of the leaders of 2025.
If you want to read the full review of the Samsung OLED S90F (QD-OLED), we invite you to our article, where we detail the tests and impressions!
Image and Technology
The S90F is equipped with a QD-OLED panel that combines perfect black and infinite contrast with higher brightness and a wider color palette than traditional WOLEDs. During our tests, the television reached around 1700 nits, resulting in extremely impressive HDR and excellent detail reproduction even in very dynamic scenes.
Additionally, it features 144 Hz refresh rate and remarkable viewing angles – the image remains equally attractive regardless of the seating position.
Applications and Features
S90F is a versatile device – it works well both as a home theater, a gaming screen, and a large PC monitor. Gamers get a complete set: HDMI 2.1, VRR, ALLM, Game Bar, and extremely low input lag. The Tizen system operates quickly, offering a wide selection of apps and integration with SmartThings.
Also worth noting is the good sound quality with support for Dolby Atmos and a minimalist, slim design that will fit into any modern interior.
Comparison of S90F (2025) vs S90D (2024)
Although the Samsung OLED S90F is a new release this year, it's hard not to compare it to its predecessor – the S90D model from 2024. It was this television that set the standard in the mid-range OLEDs, offering great black levels, smoothness, and a complete set of features for gamers. Now, however, an improved version with QD-OLED technology, higher brightness, and more impressive HDR enters the scene.
Are the differences significant enough to justify the purchase of the newer model? Let's check how S90F compares to S90D in terms of ratings, advantages, and disadvantages.
