Samsung S85H review: what the specs say
Samsung's most affordable 2026 OLED, with the same Tizen smart platform as the flagship. At $1,999.99, Samsung's 2026 model sits in the middle of the range — the TVs we compare run from $279.99 to $12,999.99. It scores 8.1/10 overall, calculated from published specifications across 8 categories rather than from a subjective impression.
Its strongest showing is Connectivity at 9.0/10 — HDMI 2.1 port count and other I/O for consoles and soundbars. The weakest is Built-in Sound at 6.8/10, which is the trade-off to weigh before buying: if that is the specification you care about most, one of the alternatives below will serve you better.
Worth knowing before you buy: older NQ4 AI Gen2 processor (one generation behind S90H/S95H); and 120Hz refresh rate versus 165Hz on the higher tiers. Every specification on this page comes from Samsung's own documentation or a verified retail listing — where a figure is not published, the table says so rather than estimating it.
