new tv

Post by dave77 » Sat Apr 18, 2026 3:26 pm

Just got a new oled tv to replace my 5 year old led tv. Old tv was still fine but after watching the new one at Costco and reading some reviews I couldn't resist. Rting said it was the best mid-range oled for the year. I was afraid I was wasting my money as I know they always look better at the store but I got it hooked up last night and the picture is so much better than my old one. Samsung 65"S90F, $1300 with a 5 year warranty included.

OLED tv's have been around for quite awhile but they've improved a lot recently. They've added some features that have increased their life span and the older models tendency to develop burn-in on the persistent banners like you see on most of the news channels. They've greatly increased their ability to upscale non 4k video to near 4k quality. A lot of other features and the new processor is much more powerful and is also a AI processor so it truly is a smart TV.

Another reason the picture quality is so good is that every pixel has it's own led so the tv has a total of 8.3 million led's.
