Our Verdict
Samsung S90D OLED
Samsung S95F OLED
The Samsung S95F OLED is a significant step up from the Samsung S90D OLED. The S95F is significantly brighter, allowing for a better viewing experience in a bright room, as the S95F easily overcomes glare. HDR also looks a bit better on the S95F as it's brighter in that mode, so both small bright highlights and bright scenes stand out better.
