Head to head
Samsung S90H vs Samsung S95H
Samsung's two glare-free 2026 QD-OLEDs compared: the S90H for value, and the S95H for maximum brightness, FloatLayer design, and the Art Store. Is the flagship worth the extra money?
ASamsung S90H OLED
BSamsung S95H OLED
Samsung's S90H and S95H are closer than their prices suggest. Both are QD-OLEDs with Samsung's Glare Free anti-reflection treatment, both support up to 165Hz with VRR, and neither has Dolby Vision. The S95H adds Samsung's brightest OLED panel, a FloatLayer design that looks like framed art on the wall, Art Store access, and an optional Wireless One Connect box.

- Your room is genuinely sunny and you want the brightest OLED Samsung makes.
- The TV is going on the wall and you want the FloatLayer art-frame look and the Art Store.

Our verdict
Samsung S90H OLED
The S90H is the better value for most buyers: the same Glare Free QD-OLED approach and 165Hz gaming for roughly $800 less at 65 inches in our research. The S95H is the pick for a very bright room or a wall-mounted showpiece. Either way, if Dolby Vision matters to you, cross-shop the LG C6 or G6.
Frequently asked questions
Do both the S90H and S95H have glare-free screens?
Yes. Both use Samsung's Glare Free anti-reflection treatment. The S95H pairs it with a brighter panel, which is why it's our top OLED for bright rooms.
Is the S95H worth about $800 more?
In a very bright room or as a wall-mounted centerpiece, it can be. In a typical living room you mostly watch at night, the S90H delivers most of the picture for much less.
Do Samsung OLEDs support Dolby Vision?
No. Samsung TVs use HDR10+ and HDR10 instead. Both look excellent, but if you watch a lot of Dolby Vision content or want Dolby Vision gaming on Xbox, the LG C6 is the alternative.
Is every S90H a QD-OLED?
Samsung has historically used different panel types in some sizes or regions of its S90 series, so confirm the panel on the exact listing before you buy if QD-OLED matters to you.
