The 65” Samsung S85D OLED TV is now $997.99 on Amazon. That’s $900 off its usual $1,897.99 price, and according to price-trackers, this is the lowest it’s ever been. Powered by Samsung’s NQ4 AI Gen 2 processor, it promises improved performance and runs on the 2024 Tizen OS, offering voice control and easy casting from your phone. Its design includes adjustable feet for soundbar placement and cable management clips to keep things organized, though wall-mounting might be tricky due to recessed ports. And, while it comes with 20W 2.0 channel speakers (which are decent for casual viewing), they might not replace a dedicated sound system. The TV also supports voice assistants like Alexa and Bixby.
The S85D uses a WOLED panel, delivering signature OLED perks like perfect blacks, vivid colors, and infinite contrast. It’s a stunner in dark rooms, and thanks to excellent reflection handling and decent SDR brightness, it performs surprisingly well in well-lit spaces too. It also reportedly excels at upscaling low-resolution content to make older steams look better. Pair it with its fast response times (that keep motion looking smooth) and wide viewing angles and you have yourself a great TV for movie nights and gaming marathons. That said, the HDR performance of the S85D isn’t as impactful as you’d hope, especially in Game Mode where the TV’s Automatic Brightness Limiter (ABL) dims large, bright scenes.
For gamers, this TV is PlayStation 5 and Xbox ready, supporting 4K at 120Hz, and offering features like Auto Low Latency Mode, FreeSync Premium Pro, HDMI 2.1, and Variable Refresh Rate (VRR) for tear-free, low-lag gameplay. On the downside, it lacks Dolby Vision, limiting HDR gaming potential. Additionally, the TV’s interface includes ads that can’t be fully disabled. If you’re exploring alternatives, the LG OLED B4 Series TV is worth a look, currently priced at $996.99 (down from $1,099.99).
