2026 vs 2025 — SAMSUNG MID-OLED
Samsung S90H vs S90F — Worth the 2026 Upgrade?

★ Rick's bottom line
S90F for non-sun rooms · S90H for bright rooms (Glare-Free coating)
The 2026 S90H added the Glare-Free anti-reflection coating that used to be S95-only. That's the single biggest upgrade. For direct-sun rooms, the S90H is worth the $700 premium. For non-bright rooms, the S90F at $1,800 street is the smarter buy.

Buy the Samsung S90F at clearance if you can save $700 and your room isn't bright enough to need the Glare-Free coating.
