What Customers Say
Owners of the 83-inch S90F talk first about scale and then about the picture: deep blacks, sharp 4K detail and rich colour that make sport and films feel cinematic, with the processor's upscaling and the responsiveness for gaming both singled out. Across the wider range, buyers praise inky blacks, vivid but natural colours, more brightness than they expected from an OLED, negligible input lag for consoles and built-in speakers good enough to defer a soundbar. Easy setup through the phone app and value for money at each size come up again and again. Reviews below cover the S90F range as a whole, from 42 to 83 inches, which shares the same processor and platform, since owner reviews of the 83-inch alone are few.
The most common complaints are that the out-of-the-box picture modes look dim until the AI and eco settings are switched off, and that the Tizen menus and initial setup feel cluttered and confusing, with terrestrial channels and warranty registration harder to find than they should be.
For a buyer with the wall space who wants a very large OLED for films, sport and gaming without paying flagship prices, the 83-inch S90F is a sound choice; allow an evening to tune the picture and tidy the home screen, and the panel itself draws very few complaints.
Who Should Buy This
- Gamers wanting a very large 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 QE83S90F is the largest model in Samsung's 2025 S90F OLED range, the step below the flagship S95F and a screen size that belongs in a dedicated viewing room rather than a typical lounge. It targets buyers who want cinema-scale OLED contrast without paying for the flagship's anti-glare screen and external connection box, and its LaserSlim Graphite Black chassis suits a wall mount on a 400 x 300 mm bracket 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, with AirPlay listed for screen mirroring. Audio is a 60 W 2.1.2-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 83 inches the S90F offers the range's core appeal at its largest: OLED picture quality, a 144Hz gaming ceiling and a full UK tuner set below flagship pricing. The honest qualifications are its F energy class in SDR and G in HDR, with a stated 150 W SDR and 379 W HDR on-mode draw and 208 kWh a year, the absence of Dolby Vision in favour of HDR10+, the lack of a dedicated anti-reflective coating, and a 37.6 kg panel to unbox and mount. Buyers with the space and the viewing distance who prioritise film contrast and gaming responsiveness over running costs will find it the sensible tier at this size.
