Samsung S85 BNDL_QN83S85FA-HDM48VOD225 83"

A huge, gorgeous 83-inch OLED that's a gaming beast and comes with a premium HDMI cable. Just don't expect it to light up the room with HDR brightness.

Gaming is where this TV really shines, landing in the 85th percentile of our database. With a 120Hz panel, FreeSync Premium, and full HDMI 2.1 support, motion is buttery smooth and input lag is a non-issue. What surprised us, though, is the audio. For a slim TV, the 2-channel system with OTS Lite and Dolby Atmos does a solid job, placing it well above average in our rankings. It won't replace a soundbar, but dialogue is clear and there's a hint of virtual height that makes movies more engaging than expected.

Stacked against the LG QNED 86QNED82AUA, the Samsung wins on pure contrast and gaming features, but the LG will likely get brighter and has a more polished smart platform. The Roku Pro Series 75R8C5 is a smaller, LED-based rival that can't touch the S85's black levels, but its Roku OS is way more intuitive than Tizen. If you're considering the TCL S5 or Hisense QD6, you're in a completely different budget bracket; those are fine for the money, but they aren't playing the same game as this 83-inch OLED.

We don't have a firm price on this specific bundle yet, but if it lands anywhere near the typical 83-inch OLED range, the included premium cable sweetens the deal. The S85's core strengths in gaming and sheer size make it a compelling value against pricier flagships, as long as you can live with the less impressive HDR punch.

The Samsung S85 is a massive 83-inch OLED that gets the important stuff right for gamers and movie fans who want a huge, immersive screen without paying flagship prices. It's not the brightest OLED on the block, and the smart platform feels a step behind the best, but the core picture quality is gorgeous and the gaming features are top-notch. The real hook here is the bundle: you're getting a premium AudioQuest HDMI cable in the box, which is a nice touch for anyone who cares about getting the cleanest signal to this beast.

If you're looking for a bright, punchy HDR showcase for your sun-drenched family room, this isn't it. Go get a Samsung QN90D or a Sony Bravia 9 instead. Their mini-LED panels will give you the brightness this OLED lacks.

The Samsung S85 is a fantastic big-screen OLED for gamers and movie lovers who prioritize contrast and motion clarity over peak brightness. It's not the best all-around TV, but it nails the experience where it counts for its target audience. If you want a massive, cinematic display and don't want to pay for a top-tier model, this is a very easy recommendation.
