A closer look at movie-night picture quality
An evening film gives contrast, color and small details a chance to matter. The 65-inch Samsung S85H OLED appeals to viewers who want OLED film contrast and console gaming.
When the film takes over
OLED contrast gives films deep blacks and a convincing picture. Responsive, feature-rich gaming makes it useful for console play.
The compromise to understand
Dolby Vision is absent, and the built-in sound is a weaker part of the experience.
What the brightness tests reveal
Tom’s Guide measured 770 nits in the 65" model’s 10% HDR window, alongside 695 nits for LG B6 OLED 65" and 1,155 nits for Samsung S90F OLED 65". The SDR result was 470 nits. The corresponding SDR figures were 253 nits for LG B6 OLED 65" and 520 nits for Samsung S90F OLED 65". These results describe small highlights in the stated modes. They do not establish sustained whole-screen brightness or reflection handling.
The Piqelo verdict
Samsung S85H OLED 65″ is most appealing when films are a priority and its picture strengths match your room. Check the HDR formats used by your films and streaming services before choosing.
