    Love this tv. I watch a lot of sports and the picture is gorgeous. I was going to buy a soundbar and i still might but I am surprised the sound is so good as is. I have it set high on top of a dresser in bedroom. Also love the central pedestal stand! Always hated those little “feet” on other tvs. I put the stand on a little towel and I can swivel it easily to change the viewing angle. We also like all the streaming options that Samsung offers from the home page. Lastly, the remote works the cable box and the cable remote works the tv. Win win!

    It has a brilliant screen and it's fantastic for gaming. Clarity and color accuracy are near spot-on, and the 120-Mhz refresh rate certainly makes a difference for console use. Two cons: 1. While the Gaming Hub instantly recognized the Playstation 5 and Xbox Series X as consoles, it does not for the Nintendo Switch OLED. The TV certainly accepts the signal and the Switch is playable — but none of the benefits of Gaming Mode are available. 2. The stand relies purely on compression, friction and gravity. It feels solid while sitting stationary, but if the TV has to be moved around, there's a risk of any of the three stand components coming loose. It happened twice while moving the device during the initial setup. For the price of this TV and for peace of mind, I would like to have had some screws to keep everything solid.

    Bought this as a Black Friday deal to upgrade my 2015 Samsung UHD 4K. Very happy with it so far. The colors and contrast are amazing, especially the darks and blacks. You see much more detail in everything. The audio was suprisingly good as well. This thing actually some bass! Only issue I has was setup, but that was because I was unfamiliar with this new TV. This TV will "take over" any HDMI components you plug into it, forcing you to control everything through the TV remote. I have an Onkyo AV receiver as my main connector for all my devices. The TV actually changed the receiver settings, including sound outputs and HDMI pass- throughs. Did the same formy Xfinity Flex Box. Here's a tip. Before you connect anything to this TV, go into its settings and turn the HDMI-CEC more to OFF. Then go to the Input Signal Plus settings and turn them all OFF. I was getting video but no audio until I did this. Then connect all your devices and check their settings for their HDMI-CEC status. In my case, I turned them all off, and after changing the HDMI pass -through settings back to where they were, everything was fine again. I can watch with or without turning on the receiver, and sound and video are fine. Only regret is that I would have liked to buy a bigger one than the 48" but anything larger would not fit due to limited space. Other than the frustration I experienced during setup, I'm really enjoying this purchase.

    My mid-scale review might seem harsh to some, as I'll admit the picture quality on the S90D is 5 stars. However, the user interface is insufferable. If anyone can make an amazing OLED TV, it's Samsung. I've purchased at least 3 of their sets over the years (actually, it might be 4 or 5, I don't remember as some were gifts), plus several other vendors' TV offerings. I've always liked the TV's, and certainly have never really been disappointed. However, the smart-TV interface on this system REQUIRES you to have a Samsung account, ostensibly to make channel and provider selection easier, such as when logging-in, you only authenticate with a password one time. However, this also means you cannot watch the TV without an account. "That's not true. It can't be", I hear you say. Believe me, we tried: using over-the-air, Wi-Fi streaming, and a local source from a video game controller. We tried all inputs: HDMI, USB, and Wi-FI antenna. It was simply not possible to watch a TV picture. "So why not just sign-up with a Samsung account?", you retort. We tried that too. Initially when trying to create an account, Samsung said one already existed. Not recalling knowing a user name, or passport for any such previously created account (as their TVs certainly have never required it), we tried to reset it, or click 'forgot user name'. Over and over. It never worked. I'm the computer guy that all friend's and family call when their computer stops working. Maybe I missed something. I have in the past. But we couldn't get a picture, and we could never create an account, and we could restore any apparent existing account. We then tried creating a new account, using a burner user name and password. It wouldn't work (I think the cookie in the phone app was telling Samsung that we had originally tried to use the 'forgotten' (unknown to us) user name, and retaining that information. I considered clearing the device's cache, but in addition to not really wanting to do that, I also felt that time was up. People of Earth, if you cannot watch a TV without an vendor's account, or worse, without an Internet connection (because after all, not all of us need that to watch a streaming program, such as with a locally-installed DVD player), then I would have to consider that TV to be unusable. PC and software vendors discovered years ago that many users work offline, and modified their connection and authentication routines to work with that, else, facing a backlash of users unable to use an expensive computer without an always-on network connection. A TV should not require this either. Perhaps I missed something. Perhaps the account's 'forgot your passport' link server was down that evening. I don't know, but none of it should have been necessary in the first place. We returned the set and when with a different brand.

      JohnW,

      Thank you for your review. You will need a Samsung Account to access Smart Hub, our network-based smart service that includes apps (e.g., streaming service apps) and our other smart features available through your device.

      You may need to use a separate device (laptop, desktop, or mobile phone) to create or log in to a Samsung Account. If you choose not to log in to a Samsung Account, you’ll only be able to connect to external devices (such as HDMI and terrestrial over-the-air TV with the use of antenna tuners). Furthermore, your TV will not be able to use Smart Hub apps. This includes apps such as Netflix and YouTube, as well as Samsung services such as Samsung Health. To resolve this issue, you must log in to your Samsung Account and agree to the Terms and Conditions on your Smart TV.

      If you’d like assistance setting up a Samsung Account, we’re here to help. You can reach Samsung Support at 1-800-SAMSUNG, 8AM - 12AM EST, 7 days a week. Our LiveChat agents are also available by clicking on the ‘Support’ link on our website.

    Solid TV. Excellent sound and picture quality. You could get by with a TV for less than $1000 without noticing a huge difference. Would probably get 5 stars of it had better glare reduction.

    The S90D is an outstanding OLED tv, and I highly recommend it. As a former owner of the LG C series, I can confidently say that the S90D is far superior in terms of picture quality and overall performance. If you are into gaming GET THIS TV. Colors are spot on, it has smooth motion and supports pc gamers with nvidia graphic cards.

      QSPR,

      Thank you for sharing your thoughts on the picture quality of your S90D TV. To ensure you’ve got the latest image quality updates, please confirm that your TV is up to date with the latest firmware version. You can check by going to: Home > Menu > Settings > Support > Software Update.

      If the picture you’re seeing is still not to your liking after updating firmware, there are several picture settings you may want to try adjusting.

      Go to Home > left direction button > Settings > All Settings > Picture > Picture Mode
      ...and select the mode that best fits your usage:
      1. Standard: Is the default mode suitable for general viewing environments
      2. Dynamic: Makes the picture brighter and clearer in bright viewing environments
      3. Eco: Provided to save energy
      4. Movie: Suitable for watching TV or movies in a dark room
      5. Filmmaker Mode: Provides source content just as the creators intended. If the image is defined as Filmmaker Mode, it’ll automatically switch to Filmmaker Mode while watching.

      You can also fine-tune your picture with expert settings such as brightness, contrast, sharpness and more (All Settings > Picture > Expert Settings).

      For further assistance with settings adjustments, please contact Samsung Customer Support at 1-800-SAMSUNG, 8AM - 12AM EST, 7 days a week. Or visit us on the Samsung website and click on the ‘Support’ link for:

    As with most OLED TVs, this is a great TV. The 48" size uses a W-OLED screen rather than the newer, suppposedly higher performing QD-OLED. Personally, who cares? This has a great picture for my use, the Tizen interface is different than some others but easily learned and navigated. Samsun TV Plus gives you a lot of channel options outside of the subscription services like Prime, Netflix, etc. althoug a lot of it is reality TV and shows that were popuular when I was a kid - some number of years ago. In our situation, we really appreciate the unlimited viewing angle of OLED. Sound quality of the TV itself is very good. We do not use a sound bar with ours. Start without and add one if you think you need it. This is a nice TV.
