Our Verdict
Samsung S90D/S90DD OLED (QD-OLED)
Panasonic Z85A OLED
In most ways, the Samsung S90D/S90DD OLED (QD-OLED) is better than the Panasonic Z85A OLED. The Samsung is brighter in HDR and displays a wider range of colors with almost no banding in color gradients, so it delivers a more impactful HDR experience. The Samsung also supports 144Hz, which is great for PC gamers, and it performs better in a bright room thanks to its better reflection handling and SDR brightness. On the other hand, Panasonic has better overall image processing.
