Which is better for gaming?

The S90H. It runs at 165 Hz, supports FreeSync Premium Pro and G-Sync, and adds ALLM, HGiG and Hue Sync. The S85H tops out at 120 Hz with FreeSync Premium.

Is the 77-inch worth stepping up to over the 65-inch?

Only if distance and room size favor it. The S85H gives you 12 more inches of diagonal, but you give up the higher refresh rate, the glare-free coating and the better speakers.

Which has better sound without a soundbar?

The S90H. Its 2.1-channel 40 W system with Object Tracking Sound Lite beats the S85H's 2-channel setup. Both support Dolby Atmos and Q-Symphony with a compatible Samsung soundbar.

Which handles a bright room better?

The S90H, thanks to its Glare Free coating. The S85H has an anti-reflection layer, which helps but is not as effective.

Both are OLED sets with similar panel life. The S90H comes with a longer protection plan, so it is covered for more years.

Do both support 4K at 120 Hz over HDMI?

Yes. Both have four HDMI ports and support 4K at 120 Hz, and the S90H can go higher on its panel. Use eARC on either for a soundbar.

Samsung S85H 77-inch 4K OLED TV vs Samsung S90H OLED 4K TV (65")

The S90H is the stronger TV: a newer NQ4 AI Gen3 processor, a 165 Hz panel, FreeSync Premium Pro with G-Sync, a 2.1-channel 40 W speaker system and a glare-free coating. The S85H wins only on size, at 77 inches versus 65. Buy the S85H if the bigger picture matters more than gaming headroom and sound; buy the S90H if you want the better panel, the better gaming features and the longer protection plan.

Choose the S85H if you sit far from the screen and want the largest OLED picture for movies and sports.
Choose the S90H if you play games, want the brightest anti-glare panel and the better built-in sound.
