Overview
['With 816 reviews, the Samsung S90C is the most community-tested OLED TV in this roundup, and its 4.2-star average reflects a nuanced but generally positive real-world reception. The 65-inch 4K UHD QD-OLED panel covers a size that works well in most living rooms, and the $1,139 price point puts it below many 65-inch OLED competitors.', "A 120 Hz refresh rate and a full connectivity set (Bluetooth, Ethernet, HDMI, USB, and Wi-Fi) check every box most buyers need. The Ethernet port is a nice touch for those who prefer a wired network connection for stable streaming. Tizen is Samsung's mature smart platform, well-stocked with apps and voice assistant support.", 'The set measures 56.9 by 35.3 inches and weighs 50.9 pounds, which is manageable for two people. The Titan Black finish is neutral enough for any room decor. If you are on the fence between the S90C and the pricier S95C, the primary difference is peak brightness; for most dark-room movie watching the S90C more than holds its own.']

Frequently asked questions
How does the Samsung S90C differ from the S95C?
Both use Samsung's QD-OLED technology, but the S95C uses a brighter, more refined panel with higher peak brightness. The S90C trades some of that brightness for a lower price. For dark-room viewing or general use the difference is subtle. For bright rooms or HDR highlights, the S95C has an edge. The price gap between the two should guide your choice.
Is 65 inches the right size for my room?
A common guideline is to sit roughly 1.5 to 2.5 times the screen diagonal away from the TV. For a 65-inch panel, that works out to about 8 to 14 feet. If your primary viewing seat is in that range, 65 inches is a solid fit. Smaller rooms may feel overwhelmed, and larger spaces may push you toward 77 inches or more.
Does this TV support 4K gaming consoles?
The 120 Hz refresh rate and 4K UHD resolution are compatible with current-generation consoles like the PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X. You will need an HDMI 2.1 connection on the TV to run 4K at 120 Hz simultaneously. Confirm the HDMI version on the specific unit, as not all ports on a TV are always the same generation.
