As a videophile. Buying a Television set is a very hard decision. After Plasma sets were discontinued due to energy consumption I thought the color and motion handling was lost forever. In 2016 I made a purchase of the last 3D capable OLED set, the LG 55" C6.
The C6 had inky blacks but the color always left something more to be desired. It also had HDMI 2.0 ports which was limited to non-HDR 4K 60hz gaming which was less than ideal in today's high frame rate environment.
Enter Quantum Dot OLED. I wanted a set that would dazzle the senses. That meant no compromise image quality and capabilities. I own a gaming PC with a 4090 and a PS5. I wanted to hook up both and enjoy high refresh rate gaming with minimal lag. I wanted to be able to watch any movie in SDR or HDR and be able to pick out every detail in the shadows and experience every shade of 1 Billion colors.
This is the TV that does it all. Not only does it do 4K 144hz when connected to my 4090 via a Zeskit HDMI 2.1 certified cable. It also does ALLM and 120hz when connected to the PS5. That is the power of the SoC that is running the display and mainboard. You are getting 48 gbps on all four of the HDMI ports. That means you can easily connect a PC, PS5 and an Apple TV 4K and be able to run lossless audio back to your soundbar or home theater with zero compromise.
All of the HDMI-CEC is here. Seamlessly adjust the volume of your soundbar or select "Play Movie" within your PS5 without having to touch the controller. And once you're done, pressing the power button on the Samsung remote turns off all of the connected devices.
Many have said that other OLED sets without quantum dot technology do the exact same thing at a lower cost. This to me is the minimum entry price into high end OLED tech in 2023. There is no other set that will provide you with this high of a picture quality. When gaming at 144hz the screen is fluid and smooth. There is minimal tearing when VFR is enabled. On the PS5 Gran Turismo 7 looks stunning. Everything from the audience in the grandstands to the pebbles on the edges of the track are tack sharp and clearly visible. Colors can either drip off the screen in Standard mode or they can be accurate and impactful in Filmmaker mode or in Original PQ Game Mode.
Dune 2021 4K UHD is the best disc I have for testing out a set. This S90C passed with flying colors. There was no purple tint to any of the many shades of grey.
For a couple of hundred dollars more you can be bleeding edge with the Sony A95L or the Samsung S95C but for all intents and purposes, the S90C is perfect.
