Samsung S90D OLED Review - A Worthy Upgrade? 

Great Video. Can't wait to see videos for the LG G4 and C4 and what TV will be on top

Please never stop adding the blooper reels at the end of the videos :-)

I just found this channel and I became a fan instantly 🙌🏻! Keep up with the good job guys. PS: the blooper is hilarious 😂

65 inch S90C selling for 1400 USD in Australia through direct Samsung shop, insane value.

Thanks Abby !!

Abby, you are awesome! Your delivery is bright, fun, and engaging. Love the content.

how can you tell what kind of panel it is? and that audio problem about no dts.. is that just on the one input?

how is the white luminance uniformity? My S89C becomes darker blue on the top right of the panel when the whole screen is white. Is this issue present on the S90D too?

It's so close to an S90C. Bought the latter production of the S90C and the panels seems to be the same with the S90D. Super thin panels. The difference is minimal, so I'll stick with the S90C for a long time :) Thanks RTINGS!

Do you really notice a big difference between the color gamut/brightness of G4 vs S90/S95D?

Loved the content as always 10/10. I would have loved to have seen it next to the s90c for a direct comparison. Everyone keeps saying it's basically the same. So what are the actual differences?

Is there a way to know which panel I got before I open the box?

I agree 💯 with quality control my Q9fn65 I had to send back 3 times first time screen didn't work 2nd the coating was peeling 3rd the back panel was falling off. I should have sent it back a 4th time it had 1 broken pixel in the bottom right corner but this process had taken 6 months and Samsung was giving any discounts or store credits. I do love the TV though even with all these issues. I wish they'd update the firmware with Xbox and they made a bunch of promises of One connect box upgrades they haven't done yet.

Thank you so much for all of the reviews! I was just wondering will there be a 77inch for the Samsung S90d? I cant seem to find it in that size

Hmm seems difficult to justify this over just getting the S90C Especially playing panel lottery with the S90D 42" and 48" being WOLED, 55", 65", 77" have a chance of either being WOLED or QD-OLED and the 83" being WOLED great review!

Excellent review. Thanks.

I got the 55S90D for $1,136.37 including tax! Super slick deal and cheaper than the 55S90C close out sales I saw! Extremely happy with the purchase and price (using it for my gaming/work Area). It's my first QD-OLED TV and I'm loving it so far. I still have my 77C9 and 77A80J which I love as well! Edit: How to check if you have a QD OLED Panel (2024 model; i think it may work for 2023 as well) - When displaying content/an image, you can use your smartphone camera feature. Get really close to the tv and zoom to the maximum your camera will zoom. If you see what looks like a cross pattern, it's a QD OLED. If its not a cross pattern, its a WOLED.

Are you sure it does LPCM 7.1? I notice that Rtngs often report this wrongly for Samsung TV. Say you connect a PS5 and set the PS5 to PCM, do you get 7.1 passthrough or rather only 5.1 or worse stereo? I bet it shows stereo like for all Samsung TVs. Otherwise pls let us know how you test the audio passthrough.

4:02 this whole eARC limitation only matters if your media source (bluray player/ Apple TV) is plugged into the TV's HDMI for picture and the eARC HDMI is used to pass on sound to your AV receiver to handle sound right? If you plug your source into your receiver to handle audio and use your receiver's HDMI out into the TV, it's a non-issue right? and if you're using a built-in app on your TV as a media source then god bless you i guess

There she is! Lol. Great in depth review as usual!

I do watch A lot of SDR Free to air And need a TV that will clear up the NOISE What brand,Model Is Best ???

Is it using the new 3rd Gen panel or its last year's 2nd?

Great review. thx

I currently have the 55 S90D I got discounted for review. Do yourself a favor & just get the S89C/S90C if buying now, at least until these drop considerably in price. They should mostly be Gen 2 panels just like the S90D as well. Only if the 77 S90D (or maybe if S89D) turns out to be a Gen 3 panel would I recommend right now.

Lots of useful detail, yet not one mention of the one thing I want to know. How does the bluetooth auracast feature perform?

Any information on the devices lan speed?

So since this one Cannot pass thru Dts, does that mean I can’t watch my Blu-rays & 4K movies thru my home theater system (?), or does that only mean it won’t do that if you just use the TV’s speakers themselves? 🤷‍♂️🤔

It is unacceptable that the number one company in television sales has such poor quality control of its products in practically all of its price ranges.

Nice video nice review keep up the good work

When will the 3rd generation panel arrive in Canada for the S90D or S92D? Great work people!!

Does this panel use third generation panel or is it still using last year’s second generation panel?

The model number in Western Canada is QN65S90DAFXZC. Is this a QD-OLED panel? The last 4 letters are the same on the 55 inch, 65" and 77". however the 83" is different.

Great review. I'm not interested in TVs that are likely to suffer burn in, but I'll watch an Abby review any day of the week.

As long as I know every 55" s90d is qdoled. But what about I get a woled how many nits. It has less nits than the qdoled?

Not having Dolby Atmos is fine and most people wouldn't notice and it really doesn't really make much difference but not having DTS would be such a pain for most people. I don't mind it on my S90C because I have a receiver with EARC out. I am sure that most people don't have that. LG OLEDs used to have the same problem for a few years till last year when they started supporting DTS again. Of course, most people don't notice because the Blu-ray switches to Dolby digital which is normally lower in quality compared to DTS-HD which is lossless on blurays. Blu-rays for newer movies are coming out with Dolby Atmos but most people who buy Blu-rays watch a lot of older movies.

Nice video. Is the S90D really any better than the S90C? In other words, if I can save a little money on S90C, should I get that instead?

Thank you for the great review. Can you tell me if the 77inch is QD-OLED? Thank you Peter

You covered all the bases nicely, and the comparison was nice! However you missed whether or not the S90D has actual HDMI 2.1 ports, can you clarify?

Thanks for another great RTINGS review! I have owned 2 flagship Samsung TVs and they both had problems, so it doesn't surprise me that you found a defect in the unit you tested. I have come to suspect that while many Samsung TVs have excellent picture quality, they may not be built with the best components. I have a relative who purchased 2 LG OLED TVs around the same time, and both have continued to work perfectly without a single glitch. I'd certainly like to take advantage of the benefits offered by QD-OLED, but I have concerns about the build integrity of Samsung TVs (and the Sony QD-OLED models are so EXPEN$IVE...)

im fine with woled for the 48 inch due to qd-oled isn't available for that size. plus i have a lg c1 and can not buy another lg cause my setup is a gaming type so if i have two lg tvs one remote will control both tvs so im fine

Just ordered the 65 inch S90C on Costco Canada, got it for almost half the price the S90D is selling for

I love samsung QDOLED tv, the colors are much superior and produces more natural skin tones than LGs oled tvs

Ohh I am so sad there is no philips 8 series oled over there. I can't find out where it lines up with all the other high end tvs

that jacket is fire

​How is qn90b in 2024? Also how does QN90B in comparison to QN85C. I could not buy other model from samsung neo qled as they're very highly priced in my place. Which one has better local dimming and less blooming.

Do you have a review on the s90d woled tvs? Please share the link

hdr brightness 10%: 1193cd/m2 and get 8.7 score meanwhile g3: 1410cd get 8.5, a95L: 1146cd get 8.6, s95c: 1213cd get 8.5 score. higher the candela lower the score or what? it doesn't make sense then a95L would get the highest score for lowest candela

Will you review the qn90d?

I noticed you don’t mention 5:5 pulldown, last years models (like my 90C) had a major issue with it. Between panning shots it would micro freeze the image. Especially in EU regions where cable TV is 50Hz!!! There is no way to do inverse pulldown 3:2! Cause you cannot bring back 50 fps from 60fps! This caused major problem for me!😢 The issue is negated only by enabling de judder to 2-4 clicks or disabling picture clarity completely or running AppleTV or Google TV in a Game Mode! I settled to run more de judder for sports 4 clicks and for shows 2 clicks as I don’t notice soap opera effect, but for other people who are more sensitive to this effect this would be a major issue. Hopefully with next review this would be also mentioned from here on forward ❤ It would be lovely if ratings actually could communicate this issue to Samsung about last year models, so they could actually address it 🙏

Some clarification on the 55 inch S90D GXZD panel sold in Brazil. It is QD-Oled.

When you talk about HDMI connectics of such tvs don't forget to explain which kind of HDMI they are, 2.0 or 2.1, you missed it

Please,,make videos about gsync latency test with monitor gaming like asus dell asus rog acer, and the best nvidia panel setting

5:14 so the power of the sun, in the palm of my hands?

Amazing review, I have a question is the s95c better?

When will there be a review on the LG, G4, and a review on mla burn in ???

As Tom Cruise suggested that we should disable Motion smoothening while watching movies to avoid soap opera effect but if I do that how bad will the stutter be? as you said motion smoothen can clear out much of the stutter but how bad it is for movie maniacs. Is OLED not for movie enthusiasts ?

when come the test for the 42 inch s90d ?

Best Tv Out there in the market....obviously looks terrible out of the box , but it has the tools....

They need to bring one ui to TVs

Waiting for Samsung qn 800D 800D review and upscaling performance details

😊I saw Abby presenting, I clicked the video so fast 💨 n furious! 🎊

I truly don’t understand why they can’t add DTS support

No atsc 3.0 tuner in none of Samsung 2024 models

The panel lottery on 55 inch is holding me back on hitting buy button and this is currently in my cart, cant understand why samsung cant clarify their stand on this. Region wise this might change.

Hello everyone! I wanted your opinion regarding my current situation of S90D So basically, I got a really sweet deal on the S90D 77" which was here on HUGE sale in Middle east Saudi Arabia for around 2300$ which is super nice for that price! I used to have a Sony x9000h 75" but decided to upgrade, anyways the issue is I just found out after making the purchase and awaiting the delivery that there is some sort of panel lotteries specifically in the S90D lineup that you could get a WOLED panel in that TV. After extensive research I have found out that my TV is going to be WOLED and not QD-OLED in Saudi Arabia which was a bummer to me honestly. Nevertheless, people were saying i'm going to have blast either way since i'm coming from a regular LED TV and I agree. But I wanted to take your opinion guys regarding this, since after seeing the comparisons between WOLED and QD-OLED that the colors are SO much more vibrant and nicer in the QD-OLED. so should I return the TV and get the S90C for the same exact price or should I just continue with this purchase and it's going to be nice still? Keep in mind that the only S90C that is left that I can take is the one displayed in their store, and it's in the same exact price of the S90D that I'm getting and it's brand new, and in that case I would be guranteed a QD-OLED display since I think that there were no WOLED panel in the S90C lineup. Appreciate you guys for reading this and taking the time, anyone's opinion is welcome and looking forward to hear from you guys! Love from Saudi 💙

S90c or s90d how much the brightness is noticed? I want the 55 inch. Witch one to go for?

Which ones better LG C4 or S90D?

Top🎉😊 Hallo from Bavarian 😊

I hate this thin TV trend. All they’re doing is making the TV more fragile. Oof. I mean it’s not like the TV sits more flush to the wall because of the bottom part 🤷‍♂️

❤❤❤ I will take this any day over Matte screen :) 😊

In Europe s90c is the only option S90d is not qd oled unless in 65 inch So 48-55-77-83 all WOLED

Can't Wait For 2024 Sony Bravia Tvs 😍

Kindly do review for phones too please. Samsung galaxy S24 ultra

1050 vs 1200 nits from last year - meh - if you can find a clearance S90c or S89c - its probably a better deal overall

Worth the upgrade from Lg CX to Lg G4?

I wouldn't buy another Samsung product. I've had Samsung TV's and Clothes Washers and they all fail prematurely (perhaps by design). My 12 Y.O. Panasonic Plasma is still going great however.

No DTS while LG‘s TVs have it is a no-go

Is QD-OLED better than W-OLED?

S90D is the best TV ever according to Quantum TV

I bought this TV. The top edge of the frame is not straight, it is curved in the center and on the left edge. Samsung said that this is allowed and they refused to exchange my TV for a good one. In the end, they told me that it was bent during transportation or during installation on the wall. I paid a lot of money for a crooked TV... Very disappointed.

How does the S90D compare to the S95C? The S95C is currently cheaper.

Remember people: Never update your firmware on a /Samsung/ TV. They will nerf it to oblivion before newer models come out. Samsung is the only company that does it.

Why has better rating in HDR than the g3? The g3 has 1400 nits VS 1200 in the Samsung

น่นรักจัง🥰

❤BONJOUR!!!!🎉

I updated my firmware on my s90d and lost 300 nits of peak brightness. Samsung up to its usual tricks. Wait for the initial reviews to come out then nerf. The windows hdr calibration app initially showed 1150 of peak brightness and 1 week later it is down to 850 nits

Is this model free from VRR problems?

"SDR content is significantly dimmer than HDR content" Isn't it supposed to be?

Abby is Queen 🙌🙌

55 s90c o 55 s90d ??? Cual compró 🙏🏼

Ads on tv? Well, pull off the network cable, solved.

Can anyone confirm that the 48 inch S90D is QD and not WOLED.

LG C4 when?

same standard Review

Samsung TVs are a no go for me due to their firmware bugs, their quality control and because they still refuse to support Dolby Vision, which is pretty much an industry standard at this point for HDR. I wouldn’t buy Sony TVs either because they are still cheapskates when it comes to HDMI 2.1 ports with only 2 of the 4 usually being 2.0 only.

The panel lottery problem is not whether you’re getting W or QD OLED, that much is very clear: 55-77 are QD, others are not. The real issue is Samsung not divulging whether they are using 2nd generation QD OLED panels that were in the the S90C and S95C, or they are using the new third generation panels found in the S 95D. THATs the “panel lottery” problem😡

Loved my ks8000 but when it comes to OLED I’ll stay with LG they have the best oled’s and have awesome customer service

An upgrade would be to an LG or Sony. Lol.

My Samsung continues with eARC issues, never again 😂

The lack of full DTS support rules this one out for me. Will LG or Sony have got it right?
