Our Verdict

Samsung S90D/S90DD OLED (QD-OLED)

Samsung S85D OLED

The QD-OLED version of the Samsung S90D/S90DD OLED is better than the Samsung S85D OLED. The S90D is a lot brighter in HDR, and it maintains its brightness much better while using 'Game Mode'. The S90D also supports up to 4k @ 144Hz for PC gamers with high-end graphics cards. The biggest advantage of the S90D is its ability to display more vibrant and lifelike colors with almost no banding due to its QD-OLED panel. The S90D is also the more accurate TV in SDR pre-calibration.
