Reviewer verdict

Across 8 YouTube reviews, the Samsung S90D OLED earns an Index score of 3.6/5, ranking #86 among TVs. Reviewers most often praise its picture quality, gaming features, value for money, while the most common criticisms concern picture quality, sound quality.

The S90D OLED is widely praised for its picture quality, with most reviewers (57 mentions) highlighting deep OLED blacks, vivid color reproduction, strong SDR accuracy, and noticeably improved brightness and HDR handling compared with prior Samsung models. Many reviewers also call out excellent viewing angles, strong upscaling and motion handling for gaming and sports, and the Neo Quantum AI processor helping overall sharpness and clarity. Reviewers additionally note solid design and build, useful connectivity (all four HDMI 2.1 ports supporting 4K/144Hz in multiple mentions), and good value versus higher-end Samsung and some competitor models. Across the eight reviews these strengths were the most consistently noted features reviewers liked about the set.

Criticisms focus primarily on picture limitations in bright rooms and residual image irregularities (35 mentions), with reviewers saying contrast and ambient-light handling suffer, some color/white-balance inaccuracies and occasional artifacting or macro-blocking, and variability tied to panel differences (panel lottery and regional variations). Other recurring negatives include modest built-in audio (multiple mentions that a soundbar is advisable), game mode and PC mode inaccuracies out of the box for some settings, and omissions like no Dolby Vision and some processing shortcomings. Several reviewers also flagged occasional OS/software quirks and that the set’s benefits are best realized in controlled lighting rather than bright family-room environments.

Cons (60)

Picture Quality (35)

it still does suffer in terms of contrast in a bright room due to the inherent qualities of QD OLED. If you take a look here at some footage that I have, once you flip the lights on, you are going to lose a significant amount of contrast, and there's simply no getting around it. That does mean it can at times look a bit closer to like a miniLEDD or LCDbased display than an OLED if you don't control your lighting, which makes this display really good in a light controlled home theater environment.
