Compare the Samsung OLED S95D, S90D, and S85D

The Samsung S95D has a QD-OLED display. This display has special pixels that light up and dim individually. This makes black look truly black, and you won't see a gray glow in dark images. The TV also has a very thin layer of Quantum Dots. These particles let more color through, which you'll notice best during a nature documentary with lots of colorful scenes. Do you connect a PC with a powerful video card? You can play games with a high refresh rate of up to 144Hz.

As opposed to the S95D, the S90D has an OLED display. The biggest difference between these image technologies is the color representation. For example, standard OLED TVs don't have a layer of Quantum Dots and the color gamut is narrower. This makes the OLED S90D less suitable for movies, series, and TV programs with lots of bright scenes. The contrast is still big, but the colors look less vibrant on your screen. This TV supports a refresh rate of up to 144Hz, if you connect a PC that can handle this.

The S85D has an OLED display, just like the S90D. You can enjoy deep black levels and a strong contrast that way, but the TV is less suitable for bright scenes. Colors mostly look great during dark scenes, where you can see every detail. The OLED S85D has a 100Hz refresh rate. This makes your PS5 games look smooth and you won't miss any of your favorite soccer player's movements. Do you want to play PC games in 144Hz? We recommend the S95D or S90D.

The S95D has the highest brightness thanks to the thin layer of Quantum Dots. Thanks to these particles, the TV displays more vibrant color tones and you can watch images with a peak brightness up to 1700 nits. That makes the TV good for in a room with lots of natural light and bright lamps. With the S95D, you can enjoy OLED HDR Pro. This technology increases the contrast between dark and light images. This makes the headlights of the luxury sports car on your screen look lifelike and you'll see more details in your favorite action game.

The screen of the S90D doesn't have Quantum Dots, so it's less bright than the OLED S95D. The colors you see are less bright. The TV supports OLED HDR+, a lesser version of OLED HDR Pro. This means the peak brightness of the S90D is about 1200 nits. Thanks to this high brightness, the TV is suitable for a brightly-lit room. Every detail remains clearly visible, even in direct sunlight.

Just like the S90D, the OLED display of the S85D doesn't have Quantum Dots. This makes the on-screen colors look less bright and the image less vibrant. The television does have HDR support, so the difference between dark and light images is bigger. HDR on the S85D doesn't work as well as on the S90D and S95D. That's because this TV has a lower peak brightness of 650 nits. Very light parts of the screen aren't always visible this way.

Thanks to the QD-OLED display and Glare Free anti-glare coating, the S95D has the best viewing angle. You can watch TV with a large group without any problems. Details and colors don't distort on the screen when watching it from the side. The Glare Free anti-glare coating also prevents all reflections from sunlight and other light sources. The TV is a good choice for rooms with lots of natural light or near bright lamps.
