The Samsung S90D features a WOLED panel, marking Samsung’s more budget-friendly alternative to traditional OLED technology. While it may not reach the brightness levels of Samsung’s premium model, the S95D, it compensates with excellent color accuracy and rich contrast. It lacks the high-end glare-free coating, which may lead to reflections in well-lit rooms, but it delivers stunning visuals in darker environments. According to reviews from CNET, the S90D performs admirably in darker scenes and is Pantone-validated, ensuring a more natural appearance in skin tones and colors. It operates on Samsung’s Tizen OS, providing an intuitive interface compatible with virtually all mainstream apps.

You’ll also find 4K AI upscaling to enhance older content, although results can vary based on the original quality. The television offers a 120Hz refresh rate with four HDMI ports, including at least one that supports HDMI 2.1, making it an excellent choice for users of next-gen consoles like the PS5 or Xbox Series X, where low input lag and seamless motion are crucial. While the built-in Gaming Hub allows for console-free game streaming, optimal performance still requires a reliable internet connection and a compatible controller. For audio enthusiasts, while Dolby Atmos and Samsung’s virtual sound technology provide a step up, investing in a separate sound system or soundbar is advisable for an enhanced audio experience.
