The Samsung S90F 85‑inch OLED, priced at $799.99, delivers 4K resolution, a 144‑Hz refresh rate, and both VRR and ALLM, making it a solid pick for gamers. However, the review notes a lack of anti‑glare coating, Dolby Vision support, and HDMI 2.1 ports, while the audio quality is subpar.

Gaming‑Centric Specs: 144‑Hz, VRR, and ALLM on an OLED Canvas

According to the review, the S90F’s 144‑Hz panel and variable refresh rate (VRR) make it “perfect for connecting everything from the latest gaming consoles to your modern gaming PC that is capable of astronomically high FPS metrics.” The Auto Low‑Latency Mode (ALLM) further reduces input lag, a key concern for competitive gamers. these features position the S90F as a compelling alternative to higher‑priced OLEDs.

Picture Quality: Vivid Colors but Dim and Glare‑Prone

The review highlights the TV’s “beautiful colors, OLED contrast, and shadow details” as major strengths. Yet it also points out that brightness is a mixed bag and that the absence of an anti‑glare coating can make the screen reflect light from windows or lamps. As a result, viewers in brightly lit rooms may find the image less immersive.

Missing Dolby Vision and HDMI 2.1: A Gap for Enthusiasts

While the S90F supports HDR10, HDR10+, and HLG, the lack of Dolby Vision is a notable omission for cinephiles and gamers who rely on that format for the best HDR experience. The review also stresses that the TV has no HDMI 2.1 ports, a “huge pain point” for those who want to connect next‑generation consoles or high‑refresh‑rate PCs.

Audio and Extras: External Sound Systems Still Needed

According to the report, the built‑in speakers are “poor” and users will likely need an external sound system. The review does not mention any advanced audio features such as Dolby Atmos, which are available on newer Samsung models like the S90H.

Price vs. Value: $799.99 for an 85‑inch OLED

The $799.99 price tag is highlighted as a major plus,especially for an 85‑inch screen. The review notes that this price makes the S90F a “reasonable rate” for 4K HDR content,but the missing features may push some buyers toward the higher‑end S90H,which adds a glare‑free coating for an extra $500.
