Our Verdict
Samsung S90F OLED
Samsung S95F OLED
The Samsung S95F OLED is better than the Samsung S90F OLED. The S95F is brighter in HDR, especially in SDR; it really excels in standard dynamic range. The S95F is more accurate in HDR out of the box, supports 4k @ 165Hz for PC gamers, and comes with the versatile One Connect box. Finally, its matte coating handles direct reflections far better than the S90F.

@ rtings; My question is about a glossy screen vs a matte screen finish. Everything that is mentioned is in regards to watching in a bright room. I have a very dark space for my TV, it is nearly 100% blackout. I know that a matte screen can wash out colors and raise black levels in a bright room, but since my space is dark, would I see those issues on a matte screen, or since it is a very dark space would those typical issues not be visible in this case? Thanks!
