The 65" Samsung S90F 4K QD-OLED TV Is Better Than Its 2026 Successor, And It's On Sale For Labor Day
A holiday promotion on eBay has reduced the price of Samsung's 65-inch S90F 4K QD-OLED television to $1,038.39. This 2025 model features quantum dot OLED technology, a feature that Samsung has removed from its 2026 successor, the S90H. The discount is available through an authorized reseller using a specific coupon code during the Labor Day sales event.
Consumers looking for a high-end television upgrade can currently find a significant discount on the 65-inch Samsung S90F 4K OLED Smart TV. As part of eBay's annual Labor Day promotional event, the authorized Samsung reseller Electronic Express has lowered the price of this 2025 model to $1,038.39. To secure this pricing and receive free shipping, buyers must apply the promotional coupon code "LABORDAY20" at checkout, which slashes 20 percent off the listing. Because the seller is an authorized dealer, the purchase includes a standard one-year manufacturer's warranty from Samsung.
This promotional offer highlights a unique situation in the television market where the older model holds a distinct technological advantage over its direct successor. The S90F belongs to Samsung's 2025 lineup and represents the final entry in the S90 tier to feature quantum dot OLED, or QD-OLED, panel technology. For the 2026 product cycle, Samsung altered its strategy by removing quantum dot technology from the S90H series. Consequently, consumers who want a 2026 Samsung television with a QD-OLED panel are forced to upgrade to the premium S95H model, which carries a much higher retail price of $2,800.
The presence of the quantum dot OLED panel in the S90F provides several visual advantages over the standard W-OLED panel utilized in the newer S90H. QD-OLED technology is capable of producing a brighter overall image and delivering more vibrant, richer colors. At the same time, it retains the traditional benefits associated with OLED displays, such as an exceptionally fast response time, true black levels, an almost infinite contrast ratio, and wide viewing angles that remain consistent even when viewed from the side.
For video game enthusiasts, the Samsung S90F is equipped with several critical hardware specifications designed to maximize the performance of modern gaming consoles. The television features a native 120Hz refresh rate panel alongside HDMI 2.1 ports. This connectivity standard allows the PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X to output games at a sharp 4K resolution while maintaining smooth gameplay at up to 120 frames per second.
The television is also highly compatible with upcoming hardware, such as the Nintendo Switch 2. While Nintendo's next-generation console has less demanding television requirements compared to its Sony and Microsoft rivals, it will still see a noticeable visual upgrade on this display. When docked and connected to a television, the Nintendo Switch 2 is limited to outputting a 4K resolution signal at a maximum of 60 frames per second. Even with these lower output limits, the console's games will benefit immensely from the superior contrast and color reproduction offered by the S90F's OLED panel.
With the 2026 S90H transitioning to a standard W-OLED panel, this Labor Day discount on the S90F presents a rare window for buyers to acquire superior display technology at a fraction of the cost of the newer lineup. The combination of a major price cut, a manufacturer's warranty, and the inclusion of the coveted QD-OLED panel makes the 2025 model a highly competitive option for both general home theater use and high-performance gaming setups.
