Samsung S90D OLED 4K Smart TV vs Samsung S85HA 48" 4K OLED TV

Both are 48-inch Samsung OLEDs, so picture quality is close. The S90D is the stronger TV: four HDMI 2.1 ports at up to 144Hz, an anti-reflection screen, and the NQ4 AI Gen2 processor. The S85H is a newer, simpler set with fewer listed ports and features. Buy the S90D for gaming and bright rooms; buy the S85H only if you want the newest model and basic OLED viewing.
