Samsung's mid QD-OLED. The 165 Hz refresh rate is unique to the S90 — only OLED on the market above 144 Hz. ~15% brighter than the S90F. Glare Free 3.0 coating. For PC gamers with high-end GPUs (RTX 4080/4090) that hit 144+ fps, this panel is the dream. For everyone else, the C6 evo is a close competitor with Dolby Vision.
