Samsung QN80H 85" 4K Ultra HD Neo QLED Smart TV vs S90H 55" 4K Ultra HD OLED HDR Vision AI Smart TV — Comparison

The Samsung QN80H 85-inch (QE85QN80H) and the Samsung S90H 55-inch (QE55S90H) sit at opposite ends of the size scale. One is a large Neo QLED with a 144Hz refresh rate, and the other is a much smaller OLED with a 165Hz rate and the Motion Xcelerator feature. The QN80H screen measures 214 cm across the diagonal against 138 cm for the S90H, and it weighs 32.1 kg without its stand compared with 14.6 kg for the S90H. Both are 2026 models with 4K resolution, Dolby Atmos, VRR and four HDMI 2.1 ports.

The panel is the main difference. The S90H has an anti-reflective panel, which the QN80H does not, so the OLED suits brighter rooms better. Power use also differs: the QN80H is rated at 129 kWh per 1,000 hours in standard dynamic range and 336 in HDR, against 76 and 192 for the S90H, so the smaller OLED should cost noticeably less to run.

Streaming support is where they differ most. The S90H includes ITVX, My5, All 4 and Spotify, while the QN80H offers none of those apps. Neither model includes BBC iPlayer. Buyers of the QN80H praise its sharp, natural colour and easy wall fitting, though one notes the speakers need a soundbar. Feedback on the S90H is mixed, and one buyer was disappointed that BBC iPlayer is not available.

Bottom line: choose the Samsung QN80H if you want a very large screen for a living room and a five-year guarantee, and you plan to add a soundbar; choose the Samsung S90H if you want the OLED picture, the anti-reflective panel and lower running costs in a smaller room.
