Samsung S90HA QN65S90HAEXZA 65"

The S90H is a gaming beast wrapped in a 65-inch OLED. Its 165Hz panel and full VRR support put it in the 95th percentile for gaming, and connectivity is nearly perfect. Picture quality is just average for an OLED, so movie buffs might want to look elsewhere, but gamers will be thrilled.

Gaming is where this set absolutely sings. A 95th percentile gaming score in our database means it's one of the best on the market right now, and the 165Hz refresh rate with VRR keeps everything buttery smooth. Connectivity is also top of the charts at the 98th percentile, so you won't run out of ports. The display itself lands in the 92nd percentile, and that infinite contrast you get from OLED is the real deal. Audio is well above average at the 84th percentile, but picture quality sits at a surprisingly mediocre 37th percentile, which tells us the out-of-box calibration or processing for standard content isn't quite keeping up with the best OLEDs. HDR performance is solid but not class-leading at the 72nd percentile.

Stacked against the LG G5, the S90H holds its own on gaming specs but falls behind on overall picture processing and brightness. The Sony A95L will outclass it for movie watching and upscaling, no question, but you'll pay a premium for that. The TCL QM7K and Hisense U8 are the value plays here, offering mini-LED brightness that OLED can't match, but they give up those perfect blacks and viewing angles. If gaming is your priority, the S90H's 165Hz panel and full VRR support give it a real edge over most competitors at this size.

Pricing is all over the place right now, with a $372 spread between vendors. At the low end around $1998, this is a compelling buy for a 65-inch OLED with this gaming chops. At $2370, you're creeping into territory where the LG G5 and Sony A95L start to look tempting. If you can snag it from the vendor offering the $1998 price, the value proposition gets a lot stronger.

Samsung's S90H is basically a stealth gaming monitor that happens to be a gorgeous 65-inch OLED TV. It's packing a 165Hz panel, FreeSync Premium Pro, and G-SYNC support, which puts it in rare company for big-screen gaming. The NQ4 AI Gen3 processor does the heavy lifting for upscaling and motion, and you get four HDMI 2.1 ports to plug in every console and PC you own.

If you're a cinephile who cares more about accurate picture quality and film grain than frame rates, skip this one. Sony's A95L processes motion and colors better for movies, and the LG G5 gets brighter for HDR highlights. This Samsung is built for gamers first.

If your living room doubles as a gaming command center, this is your TV. The 165Hz OLED panel with full VRR support is a rare combo that PC and console gamers will appreciate. It's less compelling if you're mostly watching cable TV or sports, where the picture processing doesn't quite keep up with Sony or LG's best. But for the price, especially if you find it at the lower end of that range, it's a lot of gaming TV for the money.
