Flagship Samsung S95F OLED TV falls to $899, demolishing lowest Amazon sale price

[Redaktion]

Featuring the best Samsung OLED TV of 2025, Best Buy has the S95F on sale for a rock-bottom price. The 55-inch QD-OLED panel is a sensible choice for bright rooms with distracting reflections. It's also ideal for competitive gaming, but the lack of Dolby Vision gives the LG G5 a slight advantage.

Why would anyone buy a gaming monitor when one can get this at 899. The only reason I see are, if 55 inch don't fit or 165 Hz aren't enough. In Game Mode the input lag is at around 4 ms and is lower vs many gaming monitors.

VRR is available to reduce stuttering during fast action.

I don't know if it's due to OLED's sample-and-hold nature or what, but I noticed softer image quality when VRR is enabled (and may be also higher input lag, which makes sense if the FPS drop to like 60, but the softer image quality (e.g. particles not "sprinkly bright") is reason enough for me to disable VRR)).

One Connect Box is limited to 40 GB/s, not the full 48 GB/s, that the non-OCB S90 midrange TVs have. The successor S95H, afaik, may has this fixed.

I love my glossy QD-OLED, so I'm not a fan of the matte coating (now matte coating even on the S90H), but I don't know how it would look like sitting in front of it, hopefully colors are still popping and the text is still crisp.

Yep. I used to have an LG 27G850A, it's a 27" 4K 240 Hz or 1080p 480 Hz. "Downgraded" to LG C5 42" TV. It is OLED, it is "only" 120 Hz but I legit couldn't care less. Looks awesome for gaming, looks even better for productivity. I play CS2 competitively but I'm not a pro, so I really don't care about less Hz, I'm about equally bad (Faceit 8-9) at 480 and 120 😜
