I recently got to try out the Samsung S90H, which is the brand’s mid-range OLED for 2026. It has been the subject of rumors that have caused concern for some Samsung fans; that the brand has opted to fit all its S90H models with Tandem WOLED (standard OLED) panels.
Over the past couple of years, there has been some uncertainty about the panels in the S90 OLEDs, because Samsung had used a mix of WOLED and QD-OLED, and wouldn't say which sizes used which panel, whether panels might actually be mixed in certain sizes, and this whole thing also seemed to vary by country.
We actually tested the 65-inch Samsung S90F, the S90H’s predecessor, last year because were were able to confirm that this size only used QD-OLED panels in the US and UK — and we awarded it five stars. But because we couldn't confirm any expectations of what performance would be like in other sizes, it missed our list the best OLED TVs, despite it being a fantastic set.

So where does this leave S90H? I asked Samsung about what panel the 65-inch and 83-inch models I saw had. As usual, Samsung wouldn’t confirm what panels are being used in the S90H line-up, but talk online is that Samsung is using WOLED instead of QD-OLED for all sizes.
Glare-free greatness
