The overall score is owner satisfaction weighted by how many reviews back it, so a high rating from few reviews counts for less. The bars below show where this model stands against the other LED, QLED and OLED TVs plus TV mounts, streaming media players, antennas, cables and satellite gear we track in this category on price, popularity and size. Context, not marks against it, and our read of the data, not a lab test.
Overview
The QN65S90FA is a 65-inch 4K OLED from Samsung's S90 line, priced around $1,398. The 144Hz native refresh rate stands above the 120Hz standard found on most OLED TVs at this price, which gives it an edge for fast-motion content and gaming. The Tizen platform is responsive and well-stocked with streaming apps. Connectivity includes Bluetooth, Ethernet, HDMI, USB, and Wi-Fi, covering most setups without needing an external streaming stick.
At 49.6 lb and dimensions of roughly 10.4 by 56.9 by 35.3 inches, this is a straightforward wall mount or stand install for a living room or dedicated media room. The Graphite Black finish blends with most decors. OLED's per-pixel illumination means blacks are absolute and local contrast is very high, which benefits dark-room movie watching as much as gaming.
With 457 reviews at a 4.4-star average, buyer satisfaction is above average for an OLED at this price. The 144Hz capability is the main differentiator over competing models in the same range, and the full connectivity suite means you are unlikely to run short of inputs for consoles, soundbars, or streaming devices.

Frequently asked questions
Does the Samsung QN65S90FA support 144Hz for gaming?
Yes. The listed refresh rate is 144Hz, which exceeds the 120Hz ceiling on many competing OLED TVs. This makes it suitable for PC gaming and next-gen consoles that can output at higher frame rates. Check your console or GPU specs to confirm it can take advantage of that headroom.
What smart TV platform does this Samsung OLED use?
It runs Samsung's Tizen OS. Tizen includes all major streaming services including Netflix, Prime Video, Disney Plus, and YouTube. The interface is clean and fast, though it is a proprietary platform rather than an open Android-based system, so app availability beyond the Samsung store is more limited.
How does this compare to LG OLED TVs in the same price range?
The main practical difference is the smart platform: Samsung uses Tizen while LG uses webOS. Both are mature and well-supported. The 144Hz panel on this Samsung model gives it a frame-rate advantage over many LG C-series models that cap at 120Hz. Choose based on which ecosystem you prefer and whether 144Hz is important for your use case.
