Display and Picture Technology
Samsung’s OLED models for 2025—the S85F, S90F, and S95F—offer remarkable picture quality thanks to the self-illuminating pixels in their OLED displays. These TVs feature HDR technologies, which, despite using the same processors and displays, are marketed under different names: OLED HDR, OLED HDR+, and OLED HDR Pro. This distinction is due to marketing choices and specific software limitations introduced in the operating system.
In 2025, Samsung is still unable to produce enough OLED displays, so all TVs with screen sizes of 55 and 65 inches will be equipped with Samsung displays. However, the 77-inch models may feature displays from LG, depending on the specific model; for example, the S85F uses a display from LG. Additionally, all other sizes—42, 48, and 83 inches—will exclusively use LG displays.
Sound System
Sound systems improve as you move up the range. The S85F features a 20-watt (2CH) sound system with OTS Lite for minimal sound quality with Dolby Atmos and 360 Audio support. In the S90F, a 40-watt (2.1CH) audio system provides a richer sound experience. The S95F stands out with a 70W (4.2.2CH) speaker system, enhanced with OTS+ and Q-Symphony for superior sound when paired with a soundbar, offering deep, dynamic sound with extreme clarity.
Gaming Features
For gaming enthusiasts, all three models are equipped with features such as ALLM, VRR and FreeSync, but the S90F and S95F offer additional gaming benefits. The S85F supports FreeSync Premium and 4K 120Hz input frequency. The S90F supports FreeSync Premium Pro and a 4K 144Hz input frequency for a smoother gaming experience. The S95F offers the most comprehensive gaming support, including FreeSync Premium Pro and additional features such as MiniMap Zoom, Super Ultra Wide Game View and AI Auto Game Mode and 165Hz input frequency, making it the best option for gamers and those who demand the most immersive gaming experience. But if you’re buying a TV just for watching videos, high frequencies will be useless in this case, as the maximum frequency of available video content is 120Hz.
Connectivity options
All three models – S85F, S90F and S95F – have four HDMI ports, but only the S95F supports One Connect Box, which allows all connections to be routed through an external One Connect module, but the module itself is a 2024 model that only received the new OS. USB connectivity options are increasing in all models: S85F has 2 USB-A ports, S90F has 3 USB-A ports, and S95F has 3 USB-A ports plus 1 USB-C, it should be understood that this port is also standard 2.0 but formactor C . All models are equipped with Wi-Fi 5 and Bluetooth 5.3 for wireless connectivity.

Design, Smart Features, and Operating System
The S85F, S90F, and S95F models differ noticeably in design and functionality. The S85F features a Contour design with a Simple Linear Stand, offering a clean and minimal appearance. The S90F moves toward a more refined look with its LaserSlim design and Simple Plus Blade Stand. The S95F stands out with a premium Infinity One design, a Slim OC Stand, and a Titan Black finish, giving it a sleek, modern presence that fits seamlessly into contemporary interiors.
All three models run on Tizen™ 9.0, the latest version of Samsung’s smart TV platform. This version delivers faster input responsiveness, with over 50% improvement in key processing times. It introduces PenWave, a new hand-drawing engine with an infinite canvas and smooth, natural strokes for sketching or writing directly on screen. The updated system also includes a new lightweight web engine that reduces memory usage while maintaining fast performance. The addition of animated avatars and smoother keyboard input further enhances the overall experience. While all models support voice assistants, Multi View, and Apple AirPlay, the S95F offers advanced features like Expert Calibration and extended image tuning options, catering to users who seek precise visual control.
