Is the Samsung QES90F 42" 4K OLED Smart TV right for you?
If you want flagship OLED picture, a 144Hz panel and four HDMI 2.1 ports for a desk gaming display or a small room, this size and spec hit that niche perfectly.
If you want a big screen for a main living room, 42 inches will feel small. Step up to a 55 or 65 inch OLED for the household set.
Before you buy
Yes. All four HDMI ports are 2.1, so you can connect multiple 4K 120Hz consoles, a PC and a soundbar without losing bandwidth on any input.
Yes. Its 144Hz OLED panel, FreeSync Premium Pro and compact size make it an excellent high-refresh gaming display for a desk.
No. Samsung uses HDR10+ instead of Dolby Vision, so Dolby Vision content falls back to standard HDR. Both are dynamic HDR formats.
For a bedroom, study or small living room it works well. For a main living room where people sit further back, a 55 inch or larger set suits better.
