The S90F is a bright-room friendly 77 inch OLED that stands out for strong anti glare performance and a much lower price than the S95F. It is described as very nice out of the box, with better calibration and enough picture quality that the extra brightness of the S95F only matters in certain HDR scenes or if you want a matte screen. The main caution is that this is an open box TV, so warranty coverage, condition, and possible damage matter. Similar pricing may also be available through employee or education discounts.
Bright-room viewers who want strong anti-glare performance, because the S90F stays excellent in a bright room without washing out color pop.
Shoppers who want a glossy OLED with good out-of-box calibration, because the S90F is described as cheaper and supposedly better calibrated at startup.
The S95F has a better anti-glare coating and can look more impressive in some HDR highlight scenes, especially in very bright setups. The S90F is much cheaper and is still considered very nice, with the S95F mainly worth it if you want the matte screen or extra brightness.
The S90F is described as much cheaper, and similar pricing may also be available through EPP or EDU. That makes it the stronger value pick if you do not specifically need the S95F's matte coating or extra brightness.
The S90F is described as excellent in a bright room for anti-glare, and it can handle reflections well. It is still a glossy panel, so direct sunlight matters most; adding more anti-glare can reduce color pop.
Open-box TVs can come with warranty uncertainty and may have issues or slight damage depending on condition. High-end televisions are especially seen as a category where prior damage or hidden problems are a bigger concern.
Thanks for letting me know. I'm primarily looking for the S95F 77" for 4K 165Hz gaming with my 5090 PC. I'm passively looking at the moment. It wouldn't be a bad idea to wait until CES next month to see which OLEDs are coming to the market in 2026.
That is what I am thinking about. I have a s9c,. which was the first samsung oled ever made and then they stopped making them for years. I actually still like it, so I am tempted to just see what is announced at CES and then if it's nothing very new then the s95f and s90f will be even cheaper then anyway.
I wouldn't say no antiglare but yea they're reflective since it's glossy. That being said it only matters if it's direct sunlight on the screen. If it's indirect sunlight then the contrast will appear even lower on 95F
I can't decide if s95f is worth it or not, but s90f is so much cheaper and supposedly better calibrated OOTB. And then people complain about both due to some color bug.
The one product category I REFUSE to buy open box... is high end televisions. There's just too much that could go wrong, or could have already. Especially in these larger sizes.
I have returned some perfect condition ones that people got lucky if they bought them because only reason i returned was due to an odf head issue I have where they hurt my head. I returned a a95l and bravia 8 ii , for instance, with no issues.

They're both very nice- 95 only if you like matte screen or need a super bright picture. But I doubt you'll be disappointed by the 90f it's very nice

I remember seeing some comparisons where SOME hdr scenes looked more amazing on the s95 do to the extra brightness it could use in highlights in hdr picture, but I bet it's rare that it's noticeable.
I hate making decisions. I can't even decide 55 or 65 either. lol. I have sued both sizes and they both are nice for different things.
Yes it is Except the S95F has a really good AntiGlare coating where S90F has no antiglare properties
I have my S90F in a bright room and it is excellent for anti-glare. If you add more anti-glare then you have the opposite issue, not enough "pop" from the colors. I would say the S90 is perfect for that.
