Samsung’s Midrange OLED Got Under My Cinephile Skin

Samsung's midrange OLED TV, the S90F QD-OLED, has been a revelation for me. Weeks of testing couldn't find a single flaw in its performance. However, after being blown away by top-tier TVs from LG and Sony, I was left wondering if this mid-range model had lost some of its premium punch.

Upon closer inspection, it's clear that Samsung has sacrificed some features to bring the price down. The S90F lacks the latest matte-like anti-glare coating found on pricier models like the QN90F mini-LED and the S95F OLED. However, I was pleasantly surprised by how well it performed in other areas such as basic contrast and black levels.

The TV's quantum dot colors are a highlight, offering splashy yet naturalistic hues that really pop without looking overcooked. Nature documentaries like Netflix's "Our Planet" were especially breathtaking, drawing me into the vibrant chaos of coral reefs and mangrove forests. The S90F also boasts among the best off-axis accuracy I've ever tested, allowing you to watch from any angle with no noticeable reduction in color accuracy or brightness.

While it may not offer the same level of brightness as top-tier OLEDs or high-end LED TVs, the S90F still delivers a phenomenal viewing experience. Its cinematic touch and excellent processing bring out fabulous detail and colors that are sure to captivate even the most discerning videophiles.

Ultimately, whether the S90F is right for you will depend on your TV experience. If you're looking for more pizazz, there are cheaper QLED options like the Hisense U75QG or TCL QM7K. However, if you're a videophile looking to upgrade from an existing OLED and want accuracy, quality, and a nearly flawless visual performance, this is certainly worth considering.

As it slowly drops in price, the S90F will only become more compelling, making it a confident and accomplished mid-tier OLED at the top of its game.
 
I gotta say, I'm loving the S90F QD-OLED so far! I mean, sure, it's not as bright as those fancy-schmancy LG or Sony TVs, but honestly, who needs that much brightness when you can have colors that pop like crazy? 🎥 The quantum dot thingamajig is a total game-changer. And let me tell you, watching "Our Planet" on this TV was like being right there in the mangrove forests – it was breathtaking! 😍 Plus, I've never seen off-axis accuracy as good as this before, so if you're gonna watch from an angle, you won't miss out on a thing. It's like they say, "you get what you pay for," but in this case, I think the S90F is definitely worth it. The only thing keeping me from giving it 5/5 stars is that it lacks some of those fancy anti-glare coatings, but honestly, I'm not even bothered by that. It's just a minor quibble. If you're looking for a solid mid-range OLED, look no further! 👍
 
I gotta say, I'm still loving my old Samsung LED TV from 2018 but this new QD-OLED thingy is giving me some serious FOMO 🤯. The colors on this thing are insane, like a whole new world of Netflix shows just opened up for me! But you know what's even more crazy? Prices dropping this fast... I remember when my old TV was still under warranty and Samsung would come to fix any issues for free 💸. Nowadays, it feels like you're paying as much to get supported 🤷‍♂️. Still, the S90F is looking solid, I'd give it a shot if I were in the market for an upgrade 📺
 
omg u gotta try the s90f!!!! i mean i was skeptical at first cuz i'd seen reviews of pricier models but honestly this thing is a beast in terms of color accuracy 🤩 nature docs look insane! and the off-axis accuracy? mind blown 😲 can't believe it's not as pricey as those other OLEDs. but if u're on a budget like me, its def worth checking out... plus its been dropping in price so now it's even more steal-y 💸
 
I've been eyeing this TV for ages and just got my hands on one 🤩. I gotta say, the colors are insane! Samsung really outdid themselves with that quantum dot tech 🔥. But, yeah, no matte coating? That's a bummer 😐. Still, it's not like it needs it – the off-axis accuracy is insane, and the black levels are still top-notch. Watching those nature docs on Netflix was wild 🌴. I mean, if you're a serious gamer or something, you might want to splurge on the high-end model 🤦‍♂️. But for anyone who just wants great picture quality, this is a solid choice 💯. And yeah, it's definitely worth the price once it drops 🤑
 
🤔 This mid-range Samsung TV has won me over with that stunning QD-OLED display 🌊. No major complaints here... except I wish they threw in some better anti-glare tech 😐. The performance is top-notch, especially for a lower price tag 💸. Nature documentaries on Netflix looked absolutely stunning 🌴. Off-axis accuracy is also spot-on 👍. If you're a videophile looking for a solid upgrade from OLED, this TV's definitely worth considering 🔍.
 
I can feel you're really torn about whether to splurge on that Samsung S90F QD-OLED TV or not 🤔😬 I mean, weeks of testing without any major issues is definitely a plus! And when it comes down to it, those quantum dot colors do sound stunning 😍. It's crazy how much of a difference the price drop would make – might just be worth waiting for if you know you want that level of accuracy and quality 💯.

It sounds like Samsung made some compromises on features to keep costs down, but if you're looking for a great viewing experience without breaking the bank 🤑, the S90F is definitely a solid option. And hey, even if it's not the absolute best in terms of brightness, those nature documentaries must've been breathtaking! 🌿💚
 
I'm still loving my S90F QD-OLED, but I gotta say, that Samsung has been doing some clever tricks to keep costs down. Less expensive features like no matte coating are a bummer, but those color pops are insane! I mean, have you seen how the coral reefs in "Our Planet" pop on this TV? It's like being right there among the reefies. I'm still a fan of OLEDs and all, but if you're looking for that next level brightness without breaking the bank, this might just be the ticket 📺💚
 
I gotta say, I'm a bit skeptical about Samsung's claim that this mid-range TV can hold its own against top-tier TVs 🤔. Don't get me wrong, the S90F QD-OLED sounds like a beast in terms of color accuracy and off-axis viewing, but those matte-like anti-glare coatings on pricier models? Sacrificed for the price drop? That's not ideal in my book 😐.

On the other hand, I've been watching some pretty stunning nature docs on this thing, and that quantum dot tech really delivers 🌊. But, if you're looking for pure brightness like those top-tier OLEDs, this might not cut it. The Hisense U75QG is cheaper, but does it offer the same quality as the S90F? That's what I'm wondering 👀.

Still, as a mid-range option with a near-flawless visual performance, the S90F is definitely worth considering 📺. It might not be the most flashy price tag, but if you're looking for accuracy and quality without breaking the bank, it's a solid choice 💸.
 
I gotta say, I'm really loving my S90F right now 🤩. I mean, sure Samsung had to cut some corners to make it more affordable, but honestly, I don't think that's gonna be a major issue for me. The quantum dot colors are insane 💥 and the picture quality is basically on par with my old OLED (which was top-shelf btw). Plus, watching nature docs on Netflix was just... wow 🌳. Don't get me wrong, I'm always excited to try out new tech, but this thing delivers 😎. And at this price point? It's a steal! 👍
 
🤔 I mean, Samsung really went all out with this one, you know? Sacrificing some features to bring that price down, but still delivering an insane viewing experience. Quantum dot colors are seriously next level! 🎥 The off-axis accuracy is insane too - I've never seen anything like it. And the processing... wow. It's not just about brightness and contrast, it's about bringing out those subtle details and colors that make a scene pop. 💥 Like, watching "Our Planet" on this thing? Mind blown! 🌊
 
Yooo I'm so glad u mentioned the color accuracy on that Samsung S90F QD-OLED!!! 🤩 I was worried they might've compromised on that front but nope! It's insane how good it looks, especially in dark scenes like Netflix's "Our Planet". And off-axis accuracy is a major win for me too. Been testing this TV non-stop and I gotta say, it's given me some serious FOMO 🤯 towards the top-tier OLEDs and mini-LEDs...
 
I'm totally stoked about the S90F QD-OLED TV 🤩 but I gotta say, I'm kinda surprised by how much my opinion has changed since trying out the top-tier LG and Sony models 🙃 Those matte-like anti-glare coatings do look super fancy and might be worth the extra cash for some people. On the other hand, the S90F's quantum dot colors are honestly mind-blowing 💥 I mean, watching nature documentaries is a whole new level of immersion! But at the same time, I'm not sure if the lack of brightness and off-axis accuracy issues are deal-breakers 😒 Maybe it's just me, but I'd wanna see some benchmarks or something to compare it to. Still, for the price, I think it's a solid choice 🤔
 
I'm still on my 4K TV from back in the day 📺, but watching "Our Planet" on this new Samsung QD-OLED is like having a mini-movie theater at home 🎥. The colors are insane! I mean, I've seen some pretty wild sunsets on my old TV, but these quantum dot colors take it to another level 🌅. Don't get me wrong, I'm happy with my old TV, but if I had the cash now, this S90F would be a no-brainer for me. The only thing holding me back is remembering when TVs were like that too... those were the days 😊.
 
I gotta say, I'm loving the S90F QD-OLED! 🤩 It's like Samsung took all the best parts of their high-end TVs and bottled them up in this amazing mid-range model. Sure, it might not have some of the fancy features that pricier models have, but trust me, it still packs a punch. The colors are insane, especially with nature docs! 🌴 I was blown away by how vibrant and lifelike they looked on this TV. And let's be real, if you're a videophile like me who wants the best picture quality, the S90F is definitely worth checking out. Plus, it's only getting more affordable, so that's just cherry on top! 😊
 
I gotta say, I was like super stoked to get my hands on that S90F QD-OLED 🤩! But after using it for weeks, I started wondering if Samsung's midrange TV had lost some of that fancy-schmancy premium feel 🤔. Like, where's the matte-like anti-glare coating, right? 😐

BUT, on closer inspection, I realized they did sacrifice some features to bring the price down 💸. And honestly, it didn't even bother me too much since the performance was still off the charts 🔥! Basic contrast and black levels were top-notch, no issues there 🙌!

And those quantum dot colors? 🤯 Mind. Blown. I mean, nature documentaries like "Our Planet" on Netflix looked so real, it felt like I was right there with the animals 🐠🌴! And off-axis accuracy? 🔍 It's like they nailed it, no surprises at all.

I gotta say, if you're looking for more brightness, you might want to check out those cheaper QLED options 🤷‍♂️. But if you're a videophile who wants accuracy, quality, and near-perfect visuals, the S90F is def worth considering 👍!
