Samsung S90F

4.2

8 sources$1,297.99as of Sep 4

The Samsung S90F offers outstanding picture quality and strong gaming performance, making it a solid choice for film enthusiasts and gamers. While it matches the S95F in many areas, it lacks the superior anti-glare system and high brightness of the flagship model. It's a capable mid-tier OLED option that delivers cinematic visuals and smooth motion handling, though at a premium price point. The TV is available in multiple sizes from 42 to 83 inches, with the 65-inch model using QD-OLED technology in some markets.

Strengths

— Excellent image quality
— Fast motion handling for gaming
— All-in-one design with integrated streaming

Watch-outs

— Expensive compared to entry-level models
— Lacks the anti-glare coating of higher-end models

4.6

6 sources3 derived$2,498as of Sep 4

The Sony BRAVIA 8 II OLED delivers exceptional picture quality right out of the box, earning praise from reviewers like RTINGS.com and ecoustics.com.

How they stack up

Samsung S90F

The Samsung S90F provides excellent image quality and fast motion handling, matching the S95F in many areas but lacking the superior anti-glare coating and high brightness of the S95F Series. Compared to the LG G5 OLED, it's less bright and accurate, and unlike the Sony Bravia 8 II Series, it doesn't feature QD-OLED technology for native 120Hz support.

Sony Bravia 8 II Series

The Sony Bravia 8 II Series excels in native 120Hz support and QD-OLED picture quality, outperforming the S95H OLED in contrast and black levels, but it's less suitable for bright rooms compared to the LG G5 OLED. Unlike the Panasonic Z95B, it doesn't feature a built-in Technics sound system, and its premium pricing makes it less accessible than the LG C5 Series.
