Show less View now at Amazon View now at Best Buy View now at B&H Photo-Video Why we like it: The Samsung S90D is a fantastic OLED model with support for Dolby Atmos virtual surround sound as well as Samsung's object-tracking sound technology for 3D audio that follows the on-screen action. It also features AI-assisted upscaling for better color, contrast, and detailing in non-4K content while the 144Hz max refresh rate is perfect for live sports broadcasts, action movies and shows, and fast-paced video games. Who it's for: If you're looking to invest in a high-end TV that will provide top quality picture, sound, and smart features for years to come, the Samsung S90D is a great option. With a dedicated gaming dashboard you'll get access to cloud gaming services to play your favorite titles without a dedicated PC or console. The OLED display is Pantone Validated for color accuracy and more true-to-life images. Who should look elsewhere: Since the S90D is an OLED model, it runs on the pricier side for retail. Even with the smallest 43-inch screen, you're looking at paying at least $1,000. Which is very cheap for an OLED, but also very expensive for such a small screen. Samsung S90D tech specs: Screen size: 48-83 inches | Panel type: OLED | Refresh rate: Up to 120Hz Resolution: 4K | HDR: HDR 10+, Hybrid Log-Gamma (HLG) | Audio: Dolby Atmos, Object Tracking Sound+ | Voice controls: Alexa, Bixby, Hey Google Pros Excellent audio and picture quality

With a dedicated art slideshow mode, you can create a personal art gallery to show off your favorite artists and pieces or your own photography and digital art. The display has an anti-glare coating for better visibility in harsh overhead lighting, and the bezel can be switched out with different materials and colors to match your decor. Who it's for: If you're in the market for a TV that doesn't necessarily look like a TV when it's not in use, The Frame is a good choice. With interchangeable bezels, a dedicated art mode, and an anti-glare display, you can easily integrate your new TV into your existing decor or use the TV as a centerpiece for a redecoration project. Who should look elsewhere: The Frame is an expensive TV, but backs up the high retail price with great features like HDR10 support and integrated voice controls. However, if you're just looking for a decent TV that can handle streaming and occasional gaming, there are more affordable options on this list. Samsung Frame tech specs: Screen size: 32-85 inches | Panel type: QLED | Refresh rate: 120Hz | Resolution: 4K | HDR: HDR10+ | Audio: Object Tracking Sound Lite | Voice controls: Alexa, Bixby, Hey Google Pros Looks absolutely stunning Cons Can get pricey
