Verdict:

Samsung S90H is a TV that simply makes a spectacular impression. The combination of OLED's absolute blacks, high brightness, and excellent motion sharpness delivers a picture that's hard to look away from. And that's exactly what we expect from a good OLED TV. The matte anti-reflective coating also works very well. Reflections on a sunny day stop being a major problem, and thanks to the presence o...

Verdict:

Samsung Q8F is quite a successful continuation of the Q67D model. It offers similar picture quality in HDR content, and with a brightness of around 500 nits, it can create an effect that is hard to call average. It is also aided by support for the HDR10+ format, which has been realistically competing with Dolby Vision for some time and provides comparable experiences in many productions. The contr...

Verdict:

The Samsung Q7F is the cheapest model from the manufacturer’s QLED line, and it must be admitted that several advantages can be easily pointed out here. After calibration, the colors look really good, and the additional QLED filter makes the hues more saturated than in typical budget LCD TVs. In addition, it has a VA panel, which offers quite decent native contrast. It is definitely not on the lev...

Verdict:

Samsung U8000F with a VA panel is a television that can pleasantly surprise in its class – of course, if we know what to expect from it. Its biggest advantage is definitely the black quality.

Verdict:

Samsung The Frame 2025 is a TV unlike any other – and even though competition has emerged for it, it still does it best. The matte screen, flush mount to the wall, and one thin cable thanks to the One Connect module make the device resemble a painting more than any other screen. The Art Store app still offers the best art scans on the market (even if they are on a subscription), and thanks to inte...

Verdict:

The Samsung S90F is an excellent representative of the premium mid-range in the world of OLED televisions.

The S90F displays its class here without any compromises. Compared to last year's model, we get a slightly br...
