Samsung S90C OLED
Sony X90L/X90CL
The Samsung S90C OLED is better than the Sony X90L/X90CL. The Samsung has a nearly infinite contrast ratio, so it displays deep and inky blacks with no blooming. HDR content has more impactful highlights and more vibrant and lifelike colors on the Samsung due to its better HDR brightness, wider color gamut, and better color volume. The Samsung also has a much wider viewing angle, so it’s better suited for watching TV with friends, and its nearly instantaneous response time delivers fast motion with no noticeable blur. Both TVs have modern gaming features, but the Samsung supports up to 4k @ 144Hz (versus 4k @ 120Hz on the Sony), has lower input lag, and it has HDMI 2.1 bandwidth on all four ports.
