Samsung OLED S85H review

Samsung OLED S85H is Samsung's lowest-priced OLED for 2026, aimed at buyers who already use Samsung's Tizen platform or SmartThings. It uses self-illuminating OLED pixels with OLED HDR, the NQ4 AI Gen2 Processor for 4K AI Upscaling and Pantone Validated color. Gaming runs through the Premium Gaming Pack with Motion Xcelerator 120Hz and NVIDIA G-SYNC or AMD FreeSync Premium, which is enough for current consoles. Samsung extends the same 7 years of Tizen OS upgrades to the S85H as to its flagship. The problem is price against rivals: Samsung.com listed the 65-inch at $1,999.99 when we checked, $800 more than the LG B6 and $600 more than the LG C6, both of which list Dolby Vision. The S85H also skips the Glare Free coating of the S90H. Watch for Samsung sales, which can change this math quickly. We compared documented features and published prices; we did not test the TV ourselves.
