When on the hunt for an OLED TV, looking at today's model might make your head spin. Whether it be price or the amount of features on offer, there's a lot to consider, which is why I tend to recommend going with a model that's already a year old. You won't be missing out on too many major performance upgrades and you still get an incredible picture performance for the price, as is the case with the Samsung S90D.
Right now, you can get the 65-inch Samsung S90D OLED TV for $1,399 on Best Buy. That's a $200 discount on one of my favorite 2024 OLED TVs that's built on serious value. It's no LG C4 OLED, but it packs a punch for all things gaming and visual entertainment. It's one of the best OLED TV deals right now.
What makes the Samsung S90D OLED stand out is its positioning within the lineup. It's not the top-of-the-line flagship, nor is it the limited-of-features budget model. It sits in the middle of the road, yet still wields more than enough premium specs and higher metrics to let it stand out against the crowd, a crowd that's packed with competition.
I tested the Samsung S90D OLED TV last year and was pleasantly surprised by its abilities. The one major downside you'll have to consider is the absence of Dolby Vision, which is a shame if you're a big fan of HDR movies. It still has both HDR10 and HDR10+ support, which does make up for this blunder. And, if you're worried about your PS5 games looking less dynamic, the system doesn't support Dolby Vision, so this is the OLED TV to get for Sony consoles.
I use the Samsung S90D on a daily basis. It's my daily driver TV right beside my revolving door of TV and projector reviews coming in every other week. It's a handy display because it has some of the best off-axis viewing, meaning I don't need to be dead center in front of the screen to get the best possible picture quality.
Plus, it has some incredible brightness, which works well in tamping down reflections. In our testing it hit 476 nits in standard content and 1,166 nits in HDR. While these numbers pale in comparison to Mini-LED TVs, these are still pretty good for an OLED — especially one that's in the middle of its lineup.
Tizen OS is also one of my personal favorite TV interfaces. Other users might disagree, but it's seen some massive changes in the last year. It's packed with tons of free channels to enjoy, some of the best cloud gaming services, and streamlined settings menus. Samsung has also committed to updating its TV OS for up to seven years, which means the S90D will feel good as new all the way into 2031.
Take it from me, if you're in the market for a sporty OLED with exceptional picture performance at an unbeatable price, the Samsung S90D is the one to go with. But don't wait, as this Beat Buy deal won't last for long.
