OLED, Neo QLED, Mini LED or Crystal UHD
| Screen | How it works | Best for |
|---|---|---|
| OLED | Each pixel emits its own light, so black is truly black | Films in a darker room and gaming |
| Neo QLED | LCD screen with quantum dots and a Mini LED backlight with local dimming | A bright room and large sizes |
| Mini LED | LCD screen with a Mini LED backlight | A bright room |
| Crystal UHD | A standard 4K LCD screen with LED backlight | Everyday TV |
Size and viewing distance
| Distance to the screen | Recommended size (4K) |
|---|---|
| about 1.7 m | about 55 inches |
| about 2 m | about 65 inches |
| about 2.3 m | about 75 inches |
Measure from the sofa to the screen: for a 4K picture 1-1.5 screen diagonals is enough (What Hi-Fi?). A kitchen or bedroom usually takes 43 or 50 inches, a living room 55-65 inches. The sound can be improved with a soundbar.
For gaming
The Samsung QE65S90HAEXXH (OLED S90H) specifications list up to 165 Hz (Motion Xcelerator 165 Hz, VRR), four HDMI inputs, AMD FreeSync Premium Pro, NVIDIA G-SYNC, ALLM and HGiG. Specifications vary by series and size, so check the exact model.

Frequently asked questions
Is Neo QLED the same as OLED?
No. Neo QLED is an LCD screen with a Mini LED backlight, while in an OLED screen every pixel lights itself.
Which size should I choose?
Start with the distance: if the sofa is about 2 m from the screen, about 65 inches fits; about 55 inches for 1.7 m and about 75 inches for 2.3 m.
How can I improve the TV sound?
A soundbar connects to a Samsung TV by HDMI (eARC) or an optical cable, and some models also connect wirelessly.
