Samsung QN77S90CAFXZA 77 Inch S90C Quantum HDR OLED 4K Smart TV (2023)
A vibrant OLED TV
Last year, Samsung released their first ever 4K OLED TV. It combined the infinite contrast of OLED with the rich color of quantum dots to deliver a "mind-blowing picture," according to one customer. This year's S90C uses that same hybrid design — Samsung calls it Quantum HDR OLED — to create contrast-rich images with more than a billion shades of the vibrant color Samsung is known for.
Powerful processing
The S90C's Neural Quantum Processor 4K uses Artificial Intelligence to optimize your experience for all kinds of sources. Content is analyzed scene by scene against its built-in database of images to create a sharper picture with realistic texture and detail.
It also uses Samsung's Real Depth Enhancer. This algorithm identifies a scene's main subject and processes it to stand out from the background to improve the sense of depth.
Smart features
The S90C uses the Tizen platform to consolidate a wide range of streaming services into a single user interface. Want to have a Steve Martin appreciation day? Watch your favorite vintage Saturday Night Live episodes on Peacock followed by Only Murders in the Building on Hulu — all from Samsung's full-screen Smart Hub.
I'm also excited to see that Samsung has added built-in support for Zigbee and Thread/Matter. This allows the S90C's SmartThings hub to offer more seamless control of all your IoT devices.
Game on
Gamers love the low input lag and high-contrast picture offered by OLED TVs, and the S90C is an fantastic match for your console or PC. All four HDMI inputs support 4K at up to 144Hz. It also supports Variable Refresh Rate (VRR) via AMD FreeSync™ Premium for smooth, tear-free graphics.
Game Mode is automatically activated thanks to ALLM support to reduce input lag for lightning-fast response time. You can also make real-time adjustments to your settings using the dedicated pop-up menu called Game Bar.
Control options
The S90C includes Samsung's eco-friendly SolarCell Remote™. It has a built-in solar cell that is sensitive enough to keep the battery charged using the basic indoor lights in your home. Like prior Samsung remotes, this version makes it easy to control all your connected devices. It also has a button to activate your choice of included voice assistants: Bixby or Alexa.
