Our Verdict
Samsung S90C OLED
Samsung S85D OLED
The Samsung S90C OLED is better than the Samsung S85D OLED. The S90C has a wider color gamut and much better color volume, so it displays more vibrant and lifelike colors with less banding. The S90C has much better pre-calibration SDR accuracy, so you don't need to get it calibrated if you care about accurate colors in SDR. Highlights in HDR content pop out more on the S90C due to its better HDR brightness, and it maintains that brightness while using Game Mode. If you're a PC gamer with a higher-end graphics card, the S90C supports 4k @ 144Hz, so you can play in a higher frame rate.
