Owners keep the S90D for a vivid, bright picture they often prefer to rival sets for films, games and PC HDR, and some pair it with an extended warranty for peace of mind.
Picture quality is clear praise. Owners who have compared it with a Sony Bravia 7 or an older LG OLED say they prefer watching most things on the S90D, and HDR looks excellent once the source supports it properly and the settings are right.
Reliability is a clear complaint. Owners describe sets that died outright: one after under two weeks, one with a blown power supply after about three months, and one with a full panel failure at a year and a half.
The Samsung S90D is a 4K OLED TV from 2024 that runs Samsung's Tizen smart TV system. It's a mid-to-upper model for people who want deep blacks and smooth motion for movies, sports and gaming, without paying for Samsung's top OLED model.

4K means the picture stays sharp even on a big screen when you sit close. Up to 144Hz means fast games and sports look smooth, as long as your PC or console can send that many frames. All four HDMI ports can handle 4K at 144Hz, so a console, a PC and a soundbar can each have their own port without losing features. OLED pixels make their own light, so blacks look truly black in a dark room.
Newer model
S90H replaces this one. The S90H is Samsung's 2026 replacement, and it came after the 2025 S90F. It has a newer processor (NQ4 AI Gen3 instead of Gen2) and Samsung's Glare Free screen coating to cut reflections in bright rooms. It also adds G-Sync Compatible and FreeSync Premium Pro for gaming, comes in more sizes (42 to 83 inches), and is listed in the US at $1,399.99 to $5,299.99.
Pick up to three. You get a page with just those, side by side, on the subjects owners raised.
What still pleases owners is the picture. One owner who also has a Bravia 7 still picks the S90D for most viewing, though sports on YouTube TV look slightly better on the Sony to them. A former LG C9 owner uses it with a PC and says HDR looks great once Windows HDR is calibrated. Owners who mention gaming, colour and price speak well of all three, though few accounts cover them.
Brightness divides owners. One owner says it is the only screen they have used that felt bright enough, clearly ahead of their LG C4. Another finds Filmmaker Mode too dim even in a fully dark room, so they use the Cinema or Movie picture modes and often prefer SDR films. One owner also says the image can look a little oversaturated next to a matte screen, which they find easier on the eyes.
For many owners the set simply keeps working, and one who bought it as an upgrade has no plans to replace it. Where it does fail, the failures are serious ones: the whole set dying, the power supply going, or the panel failing. Owners who mention Samsung's own support are unhappy with it. One spent weeks unable to even book a repair appointment. To deal with this, owners lean on extended warranties from Best Buy, Geek Squad or Allstate. One owner says they would have bought another brand without that cover, and another, after pushing back on a downgrade, got the newer S90F as a replacement.
There are not many long-term accounts. The longest ownership story here ends in a failure at about eighteen months, and almost nobody has reported beyond that, so how the S90D holds up over several years is still unknown.
Parts named in the 11 accounts that describe a failure
From 11 owner accounts that said how long they have had it. Own one? Add how long yours has lasted.
Counted from the owners who raised each subject, not from everyone. A subject is judged once at least 4 owners raise it.
26 more subjects came up from fewer than 4 owners each, which is not enough for a fair reading. To see how it stacks up, compare it with another machine.
The same owner, asked again at each point. Fills in as owners answer.
Two questions: how long you have had it, and anything you would like to say about it. Then we ask again as it ages. This helps our mission.

Among the 11 owner accounts here that gave a duration, 11 described a failure. Parts named most: power supply, panel, power board, TV failed within 1 year (unspecified).
Before you buy one used, ask the seller: how old it is, whether it was ever repaired and by whom, and whether any of the parts above have been replaced. Ask to see it run. A receipt tells you the warranty start date; most makers honour the term only for the first owner.
