Is OLED worth it over an LED TV?

Yes if you watch in a room you can darken. OLED turns pixels off for true black, which LED-LCD sets cannot match. In a very bright room, a bright LED set may hold up better.

Does it support Dolby Vision?

No. Samsung does not support Dolby Vision, so Dolby Vision titles play in HDR10. HDR10 and HLG content is supported.

Is it good for gaming?

Yes. The 120 Hz refresh rate and OLED response suit consoles and PCs. Check that your console and HDMI cable support 4K at 120 Hz.

What sizes does it come in?

It is listed in 55, 65 and 77 inch versions. All share the same OLED panel type and 120 Hz refresh rate.

Does it have Alexa built in?

Yes. Alexa support is built in, and the TV also connects over Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, HDMI, USB, Ethernet and optical audio.

Should I worry about OLED burn-in?

Static logos and news tickers can leave faint marks over long periods. Vary content and use the TV's screen-care settings to reduce the risk.

Our take on the Samsung 4K OLED Smart TV 55-inch

A flat 4K OLED smart TV from Samsung with a 120 Hz panel, HDR, and Alexa built in. OLED gives per-pixel light control, so blacks are true black and contrast is far beyond any LED-LCD set at the same size. It suits movie watchers, gamers and anyone who wants a bright, thin TV with wide viewing angles. Against OLED rivals from LG and Sony, it leans on Samsung's processing and smart platform rather than on Dolby Vision, which Samsung does not support.
