Samsung's S90D OLED TV is at its lowest price ever for Prime Day and it's great for gaming
It's a great time to buy a new TV during Amazon Prime Day (or, days, rather), but that doesn't mean you should only consider 2025 models. You can get huge discounts on last year's models without compromising on much. For example, the excellent 2024 Samsung S90D OLED is available for its lowest price ever. The 65-inch S90D is available for less than $1,200 at both Amazon and Best Buy, while the 55-inch model is under $1,000 at Amazon. If you want to go with something even bigger, Amazon and Best Buy have the 77-inch model for just under $1,800. The Samsung S90D is a QD-OLED, which uses quantum dots on top of an OLED layer to create a brighter and more color-vibrant image than traditional OLED designs. Explosions in movies and TV shows burst with crisp reds and oranges, skin tones look more natural, and since it's an OLED, light is controlled at a pixel level, allowing for deep, inky blacks. Samsung has also invested in making all of its TVs, the S90D included, great for gaming. It has a 144Hz native refresh rate panel, supports FreeSync, and is G-Sync Compatible for high refresh rate gaming on PC. Modern consoles can go up to 120Hz — don't blame Samsung, it's a console limitation. When you're gaming, its Auto Low Latency feature will switch the TV into game mode to ensure input lag is at its lowest. The Samsung Gaming Hub also puts all of your gaming content in one place, with the option for cloud gaming via an Xbox Game Pass Ultimate subscription, Nvidia GeForce Now, and Amazon Luna, among others. Resolution and responsiveness via cloud game streaming won't match local gaming, but having the freedom to play without a console is a big benefit. There are some frustrations with the S90D you should consider before buying. Tizen OS is a bit cumbersome to navigate, often requiring multiple button presses to achieve what other TVs accomplish in one (input select being the biggest culprit), but all the built-in apps are right on the home screen. Some niche apps, such as F1 TV, are not available on Tizen. The S90D doesn't support Dolby Vision, instead opting for HDR10+ as a dynamic HDR format. The 2025 model, Samsung's S90F, has slightly better processing than the S90D and is brighter, but it also doesn't have the same deep discounts we're seeing on the S90D (you can get a 77-inch S90D for the price of a 65-inch S90F). The S90F's minor improvements don't justify their significant price difference. Unless you're incredibly susceptible to FOMO, the S90D is a much better purchase during Prime Day.

I'm a TV tester and have gone through tons of TV wall mounts — here are my favorites
Wall-mounting a TV is never fun nor easy. Not only do you have to find the right mount to match the necessary space, but you'll also need to find what to buy before even starting your installation. The process doesn't need to be all-too difficult, you just need to narrow down the type of wall mount that fits your general use case. I've been testing TVs and wall mounts now for more than three years and can help with finding you the right one from among my personal favorite options. You'll also notice, especially when perusing the best TV wall mounts, that most come from many of the same designers. These include Mount-it, EchoGear, and Sanus to name just a few. These will deliver the best bang for your buck and offer you peace of mind in the set up process. Short of spending several thousands of dollars on a Displace OLED TV, these are your best bets for streamlining your next TV wall mounting project. If you spot a corner of your living room and think it might not be the best spot for a TV, think again. The EchoGear EGCM2 is a stellar option, allowing up to 65-inch in a tighter space and 75-inch on a flat wall. It can also extend out to 24-inch and tilt on a 15 degree angle. You won't miss a thing on this versatile TV wall mount, and it comes with super easy instructions. One of the most common wall mounting spots is within a small corner of your living space. You'll often have this in smaller living rooms or even your bedroom, and it might often come down to one wall being studier than another. My personal favorite pick for this specific TV wall mounting solution is the EchoGear EGCM2, which also happens to be what I use for my Samsung S90D OLED TV. It's set up in my living room, located on a corner that protects my refrigerator. It's perfect for a variety of reasons. EchoGear has an awesome measuring system inside the box — though, I'd still buy a leveler. The mount also has these plastic parts that hide the nails in the wall, which is quite nice. The EGCM2 can also handle up to 65-inch TVs in a corner or 75-inch TVs on a flat wall. Get instant access to breaking news, the hottest reviews, great deals and helpful tips. You can also try out the Sanus VMF720, which is a bit more of a costly option and only holds TVs ranging from 32-inch to 55-inch. You can buy the Sanus VMF720 for $197 on Amazon right now, which is more expensive than the EchoGear's mere $70 price tag. The EchoGear EGLD1 might not look like much, but it's the perfect weapon against dry wall. It holds up to 100 pounds without any studs required, and it's super easy to install, making it a breeze for those who just want to get to their entertainment without a ton of hassle. Dry wall is among the hardest TV wall mounting solutions to find. Most are rated for concrete and you really need to be careful when setting up a wall mount on dry wall. For that reason, I'd be choosing the EchoGear EGLD1. This TV wall mount requires no drilling and needs no studs, but it comes with limited mobility. It's easy to setup and comes cheap, too, if you can live with the direct field of view it requires. It's also rated for TVs up to 100 pounds which is pretty impressive if you ask me. That's all on a mere $35 price tag, which isn't too shabby if you're working with a dry wall setup. To give yourself peace of mind when setting up a TV for wall mounting, get yourself the EGLF3 by EchoGear. It holds up to 82-inch displays and can even retract back to the wall as close to 2.9-inch, which is nice if you need a bit extra space and sit a little closer to the wall. It also can extend out to 19 inches and swivels on a 140-degree angle, giving you tons of control. Full motion TV mounts are probably the easiest to get lost in as there are tons of options to choose from in this category. It's better to think simple rather than go all out here, as you don't want to overspend on a TV wall mount that you don't really need in the end. My go-to picks for a full motion TV wall mount would have to be the EchoGear EGLF3. I know I keep recommending this particular brand, but it offers super easy instructions and products at value prices. The EGLF3 can also withstand TVs of up to 82 inches, allowing for immense versatility in the way you watch. You can tilt the TV forward by 15 degrees, swivel it at 140 degrees, and retract it as close as 2.9 inches to the wall. That's a lot of coverage, and it's just under $80. I can also recommend the Mount-It! MI394 if you're willing to shell out $219 for a TV wall mount. This will give you even more coverage and versatility if you need it, allowing for TVs ranging from 65 to 110 inches with a wider extension if you sit further from the wall. You might not think you'll need a motorized TV wall mount, but it's definitely one to consider if you're watching from over the fireplace. We recommend finding a different spot entirely, but at least this bad boy's height adjustable and can hold up to 77 pounds of TV. Not everyone's going to need a motorized TV wall mount, but they do exist. We tend to recommend this one spot as the worst place to put your TV, but if you have nowhere else to put it other than over the fireplace, the Mount-It! MI-386 should be your go to for wall mounting. This wall mount can hold up to 77 pounds and is fully equipped with an electric lever system that lets you remote control it from afar. It's also only compatible with VESA 600 x 400 mounting, so make sure your TV is suitable for this product before buying. The Mount-It! MI-386 will set you back a whopping $264, making it one of the most expensive options on this list, but at least it will make your entertainment setup the look sleek and futuristic. The EchoGear EGMF2 hits all the sweets spots, at least in terms of TV angles. You can extend it out, tilt it on a 15 degree angle, and swivel at up to 90 degrees, all for TVs up to 60-inch. It's my personal favorite for this size range and it's what I use for my smaller bedroom display, You don't need to push out the boat if you're buying a wall mount for a smaller set. For example, I have the EchoGear EGMF2 holding up my 40-inch Vizio TV in my bedroom and it's the perfect system for that kind of display. This was incredibly easy to set up and works with TVs going up to 60 inches. You can also easily install this on just one stud if you need, but I used a concrete wall for added support if I ever wanted to upgrade in the future. If the EchoGear model isn't your style, I'll also suggest the Mounting Dream MD2268-LK. This design even comes with a leveler to use so you don't have to shell out more to get the perfect angle, and it can hold up to 75-inch TVs if you need a bit more wiggle room. This Sanus wall mount lets you move your display on a 12 degree title and can even extend out to 6.8 inches, so you don't miss any of the action no matter how far away you are. It also fits TVs ranging from 42 to 90 inches, giving you tons of versatility for TV wall mounting. Big-screen TVs are ever-on-the-rise and you're going to need on special TV wall mounting solution to hold it up with ample precision. That's where the Sanus VKT7-B2 comes into play. This $200 wall mounting bracket will keep TVs up to 90 inches safe against the wall. It looks almost like a picture frame, primarily because it uses the full width of its design to keep the TV secure against the wall. It also comes equipped with most of the alternative hardware you'll need, but you'll still want a stud finder and leveler just to be extra cautious. As an alternative, I'll suggest the Mount-It! MI-14010. This goes up even further past the 90-inch mark and has a wide range of versatility in terms of adjustability and tilting. The max VESA compatibility is also 900x600, so you can be sure you're TV will most likely work with this design.

Best TVs of 2025: Tested by CNET Experts
Most people looking for a new TV are focused on picture quality for the money, in a size that's right for their room. Here at CNET I test TVs head-to-head in our dedicated lab and I want to help you choose the best television for your needs. Whether you care most about gaming, sports or streaming TV shows and movies, in a living room or bedroom, there's a model here for you. Although new televisions are coming out in spring 2025, some of the recommendations below debuted last year. That's because TVs are a pretty stable technology and year-to-year improvements are usually minor. Here are the best TV you can buy now, from high-end QLED and OLED to midrange mini-LED to cheap 4K smart TVs. In terms of the best bang-for-buck, one of the most impressive models has been the Samsung DU7200 -- it's a TV that delivers a really good picture for an affordable price. The black levels and shadow detail are excellent for the money and while my test unit looked a little desaturated out of the box that was easily fixed by adjusting the Color control. The TV has onboard streaming and the sound quality isn't too bad either. If you're looking for a bedroom unit or a smaller gaming TV then the Samsung DU7200 is the model I would choose. Don't buy it if you're a stickler for image quality but for the price it's pretty great. See at Amazon LG C3: When David Katzmaier reviewed the C3 in 2023 it was one of his favorite TVs and this impression continued into the following year. It's still a great TV but with the pricing on this and the C4 similar right now it makes sense to go for the newer TV. Read CNET's full review of the LG C3. Panasonic Z95A: The Panasonic Z95A is an excellent TV and it has one advantage over most at the price because of its dedicated speaker system, giving it decent sound quality. The inclusion of Amazon Fire TV is also unusual for the price but I still prefer Google TV. Read CNET's hands-on of the Panasonic Z95A. Samsung S90D: The S90D performed well in our measurement tests but it suffered some contrast loss compared to the C4. Any differences between the C4 and S90D were subtle. Read CNET's full review of the Samsung S90D. In every CNET TV review, I compare three or more similar TVs side by side in a dedicated, light-controlled test lab. With each review I employ a rigorous, unbiased evaluation process that has been honed in more than two decades of TV reviews. I test TVs with a combination of scientific measurements and real-world evaluations of TV, movies and gaming content. To ensure I can evaluate the picture quality of every TV I employ the use of an AVPro Connect 8x8 4K HDR splitter so each one receives the same signal. I test the TVs using various lighting conditions playing different media, including 4K HDR movies and console games, across a variety of test categories, from color to video processing to gaming to HDR. In order to measure each TV, I use specialized equipment to grade according to light output and color. My hardware includes a Konica Minolta CS-2000 spectroradiometer and a Murideo Six-G 4K HDR signal generator. I use Portrait Displays CalMan Ultimate software to evaluate every TV I review according to their brightness, black levels and color. My reviews also account for such things as features, design, smart TV performance, connectivity including HDMI inputs and gaming compatibility. Check out How CNET Tests TVs for more details. With all of the TVs available today, and all of the technical terms and jargon associated with television technology, it can be tough to figure out what's important. Here's a quick guide to help cut through the confusion. Picture quality: Broadly speaking, the type of display technology helps dictate how good a TV's picture quality is, but OLED is typically the best display technology, and this is followed by LCD (including QLED, and Mini LED). OLED tends to have the best picture quality because it doesn't need a backlight and every pixel can be either on or off, leading to great black levels. In comparison, each LED in a backlight looks after multiple pixels at a time so it isn't as precise -- it's not yet 1:1. Among midrange models, look for a feature including full-array local dimming, mini-LED and 120Hz refresh rate, which (unlike some other extras) do help improve the picture in my experience. Additionally, If a TV uses Quantum Dots it often leads to better color performance, whether it's an OLED or an LCD. Screen size: Bigger is better in my book. I recommend a size of at least 43 inches for a bedroom TV and at least 55 inches for a living room or main TV -- and 65 inches or larger is best. More so than any "feature," stepping up in TV screen size is the best use of your money. One of the most common post-TV-purchase complaints I've heard is from people who didn't go big enough. And I rarely hear people complain that their TV is too large. It's worth adding that while TVs can get really big indeed, 4K resolution is sufficient for even the biggest models, and CNET doesn't recommend any 8K TVs as they represent a poor comparative value. Price: TVs range in price from $100 to more than $2,000. Smaller screens are cheaper, well-known brands are more expensive and spending more money can also get you better image quality. Most entry-level TVs have a good enough picture for most people, but TVs last a long time, so it might be worth spending more to get a better picture. It's also best to shop for a TV in the fall when prices are lower. Sound quality: Every TV has some sort of built-in speaker, but in my twenty years of reviewing AV equipment the sound of modern TVs has been routinely terrible. While I do test the audio on each model, if you are serious about sound quality then buying a separate soundbar (from $100) or home theater system will instantly improve vital aspects such as speech and bass reproduction. Smart TV: Among entry-level TVs the most important feature is what kind of smart TV system the TV uses, and while some are proprietary to each brand (Samsung and LG) some models do offer Roku and Google TV. For more TV buying advice check out How to Buy a TV. One important aspect of image quality I test is overall brightness using the CS-2000 spectroradiometer. Here's how brightness compares in nits across select TVs listed above. Prices vary widely by size and features, from less than $100 for basic 24-inch TVs to more than $2,000 for big OLED models. TVs last a long time, so we think it's worthwhile to spend a little extra beyond the bare minimum to get a bigger screen, better picture quality or better features. With that in mind, here are some ballpark prices that will get you a very good TV in 2025. 55-inch: $700 65-inch: $1,000 75-inch: $1,300 You could pay (much) more or less. The fact is just about any TV will produce a picture decent enough to satisfy most viewers. Most complaints you read in user reviews aren't about picture quality. Instead, they're about ease of use, smart TV menus or sound (or a broken TV). In our opinion bigger is better, and your money is best spent on large screen sizes rather than a slight upgrade in image quality. The answer also depends on room size and seating distance: If you have a big room and sit farther away, you'll want a bigger TV. In our reviews, OLED TVs, which use organic light-emitting diode technology, have always had better picture quality than LED TVs, which are essentially LCD TVs that use LED backlights. The main reason is that OLED TVs can produce a perfectly dark shade of black with no stray illumination of blooming, which leads to better contrast and pop. LED TVs can get brighter, and usually cost less than OLED TVs. At CNET our favorite is Roku for its simplicity, but different systems like Google TV, Amazon Fire TV, Samsung and LG have different strengths, in particular for voice commands. In any case, we don't consider the built-in smart TV system that important because you can always connect a streaming device to any TV. Most TVs sound terrible because their thin cabinets don't have room for decent-sized speakers or a bass. If you want to get good sound you should buy an external audio system. Even an inexpensive soundbar will deliver much better audio quality than a TV's built-in speakers.
