What Customers Say
Owners of the 65-inch S90F describe the picture as the reason to buy: deep, uniform blacks, punchy but natural colours and a level of brightness that surprises people moving from mini-LED or older OLED sets, with several noting it copes well with a bright room. Gamers on a current console praise the negligible input lag, the high refresh rate and the four HDMI inputs, and a common remark is that the built-in speakers are good enough to leave a soundbar off the shopping list. Setup through the phone app, quick app loading and value for money at this size come up repeatedly. Reviews below cover the S90F range as a whole, from 42 to 83 inches, which shares the same processor and platform, rather than the 65-inch alone.
The repeated complaints are that the out-of-the-box picture modes look dim until the AI and eco settings are switched off, that the Tizen home screen and setup feel cluttered, and that the very thin panel wobbles a little on its stand.
For most buyers wanting a large OLED for films and gaming without paying flagship prices, the 65-inch S90F is a sensible pick; allow an evening to tune the picture and tidy the menus, and the panel itself draws very few complaints.
Who Should Buy This
- Gamers wanting a big high-refresh OLED with low lag for consoles,
- Film fans wanting deep OLED blacks with HDR10+ and HLG support,
- Multi-device households wanting four HDMI inputs with eARC,
- UK viewers wanting built-in terrestrial and satellite tuners with recording,
- Buyers wanting a slim set with Alexa and Dolby Atmos sound built in.
Who Should Skip It
- Dolby Vision viewers wanting that HDR format on streaming and discs,
- Bright-room viewers wanting a dedicated anti-glare screen coating,
- Energy-conscious buyers wanting a higher stated efficiency rating,
- Wi-Fi 6 households wanting the latest wireless standard built in.
What Experts Says
Overall Assessment and Positioning
The Samsung QE65S90F is the 65-inch model in Samsung's 2025 S90F OLED range, the step below the flagship S95F and the size at which a self-emissive panel starts to feel properly cinematic. It targets buyers who want OLED contrast and a full gaming feature set without paying for the flagship's anti-glare screen and external connection box, and its LaserSlim Graphite Black chassis at under 40 mm deep suits a wall mount as readily as the supplied central pedestal stand.
Key Strengths and Standout Features
The 4K OLED panel is driven by the NQ4 AI Gen3 processor with HDR10+, HDR10 and HLG support and Samsung's OLED HDR+ processing; the stated 100Hz native refresh rate extends to 144Hz for PC and console gaming, backed by ALLM, HGiG, Game Motion Plus and a Gaming Hub. Four HDMI inputs, one with eARC, and two USB-A ports cover a console, a player and a soundbar at once, while Wi-Fi 5, Bluetooth 5.3 and an Ethernet port handle the network side. Audio is a 40 W 2.1-channel system with Dolby Atmos decoding and Object Tracking Sound Lite, and Q-Symphony lets the set's own speakers work alongside a compatible Samsung soundbar. Twin DVB-T2, DVB-C and DVB-S2 tuners with a CI+ slot and PVR recording cover UK terrestrial and satellite viewing without an external box, and Tizen runs the streaming apps with Alexa built in.
Value Proposition and Who It's Best Suited For
At 65 inches the S90F delivers the range's core appeal at scale: OLED picture quality, a 144Hz gaming ceiling and a full UK tuner set at a mid-range OLED price. The honest qualifications are its F energy class in SDR (G in HDR), with a stated 89 W SDR and 204 W HDR on-mode draw, the absence of Dolby Vision in favour of HDR10+, and the lack of a dedicated anti-reflective coating that the pricier S95F offers. Buyers who prioritise film contrast and gaming responsiveness over bright-room performance will find this the sensible size and tier in the range.
