65″ Samsung S90D 4K OLED Smart TV

3

The Samsung S90D is the prior generation 2024 model. A new “S90F” model is available for about $250 more, but the differences are minor. The S90D is equipped with Samsung’s proprietary quantum dot (QD) OLED panel. QD OLED panels are brighter than traditional OLED panels without losing the color accuracy, range, and wide-viewing angles that OLEDs are known for. Compared to a traditional LED LCD TV, an OLED TV offers superior image quality, near-infinite blacks, near-infinite contrast ratio, and near-instantaneous response times.

OLED technology aside, the Samsung S90D also has all the features you’d want in a gaming TV. It has a native 120Hz panel that can be pushed to as high as 144Hz as well as four total HDMI 2.1 ports for running 4K at 120Hz on a PS5 or Xbox Series X gaming console. The S90D also supports variable refresh rate and auto low latency mode. This is an especially good complement to the recently released Playstation 5 Pro console since it can drive more games in quality mode (native 4K @ 120fps) than the standard PS5, which often needs to be set to performance mode (upscaled 4K).

The wall mount you choose is going to be supporting your expensive TV for years, so brand reliability is important. Perlegear is one of the biggest TV mount vendors on Amazon with plenty of reviews to back it up. This full motion articulating wall mount has pretty much every fancy feature you can think of, fits TVs up to 90 inches, and has a 130 pound weight capacity. It’s overbuilt for sure, and that’s a good thing.

Is this a good TV for the Nintendo Switch 2?

Despite being a current generation console, the Nintendo Switch 2 has lax TV requirements compared to the PS5 or Xbox Series X. When the Switch is connected to its dock and a television, it is only capable of outputting a 4K resolution signal at up to 60 frames per second. It can go up to 120fps if the resolution drops to 1080p, but the data rate required for both these options is pretty much the same. Oddly, it doesn’t even get VRR when docked – that’s reserved for handheld mode only. The Switch 2 console, however, will still benefit greatly from the Samsung’s gorgeous OLED panel.
