I tested the Samsung S85F and it's a great, feature-packed OLED TV at a more affordable price

The Samsung S85F may be an entry-level OLED TV, but it delivers great picture quality, a stocked list of features and brilliant gaming performance. It has lower brightness than more premium OLEDs, and its built-in sound could be better, but the S85F is a more affordable OLED TV, and a fantastic one at that.

Samsung S85F review: two minute review

The Samsung S85F, the company’s entry-level OLED TV for 2025, could easily get overshadowed by its step-up siblings and more premium OLED competition. However, the S85F offers a good range of features and great performance at a more affordable price, with the 65-inch model I tested available for $1,499.99 / £1,899.99 / AU$1,999.99 several months after its release.

One thing to note in this ...
