Samsung S90H QN55S90HAEXZC 55"

Gorgeous OLED with best-in-class anti-glare, but the speakers are an afterthought. Buy it for the picture, not the sound.

The NQ4 AI Gen3 Processor and 120Hz panel make everything feel snappy, from menu navigation to fast-moving sports. What surprised us most is the anti-glare coating. It's not marketing fluff. This thing stays watchable in a sun-drenched living room, which is rare for OLED. The 40W audio, though, is a letdown. It's thin and boxy, and you'll want external speakers almost immediately.

The LG OLED evo C5 is the natural rival here, and it typically edges out the S90H on HDR brightness and out-of-box audio. The Sony BRAVIA 9 costs more but delivers better picture processing. If you want to save cash, the Hisense U8 or TCL QM8K get you close on brightness for less money, though you lose the OLED contrast and that excellent anti-glare coating.

At around CAD 1,800, this is a solid mid-range OLED. You're paying for the panel and the anti-glare tech, not the speakers. If you already own a soundbar or plan to grab one, it's a fair deal. If you expect great audio out of the box, look elsewhere.

The Samsung S90H is a gorgeous OLED that nails the basics: deep blacks, punchy colors, and a glare-free screen that actually works in bright rooms. The one thing to know? Buy a soundbar. The built-in audio is the weak link in an otherwise excellent package.

If you want great sound without extra speakers, this isn't it. Go grab an LG C5 or a Sony BRAVIA instead. Also skip it if you're a hardcore HDR movie buff, the HDR performance is mediocre compared to the competition.

The S90H is a fantastic TV for bright rooms and gamers who want OLED contrast without the glare. Just budget for a soundbar. If you're picky about HDR or want decent built-in audio, the LG C5 is the safer bet.
