Samsung has launched a more affordable TV—S85D—in the US. It sits below the S90D and uses Display's WRGB OLED panel rather than QD-OLED panel. It also misses out on some features available on the S90D and the S95D OLED TV models launched earlier this year.
The S85D OLED TV from Samsung comes in three sizes: 55-inch, 65-inch, and 77-inch. All these variants use LG Display's OLED panel, which means their color depth and volume won't be as good as TVs using Samsung Display's panel. It starts at $1,700 for the 55-inch version and goes as high as $3,400 for the 77-inch version.
You can and get it delivered to most places in the US by May 16, 2024.
You can watch our video of the S90D and S95D OLED TVs below.
Samsung has equipped the S85D with a 4K OLED panel from LG. It features HDR10, HDR10+ (Adaptive & Gaming), and HLG compatibility, and it can be driven at 120Hz and has AMD FreeSync Premium certification for smooth gaming. It uses the NQ4 AI Gen2 processor for AI-powered 4K upscaling. It also features ALLM, HGiG, Mini Map Zoom, Super Ultra Wide Game View, and VRR.
It has 20W stereo speakers, a step down from the S90D's 2.1-channel setup. Its audio features include 360 Audio, Active Voice Amplifier Pro, Adaptive Sound Pro, Bluetooth Dual Audio (with Buds Auto Switch), Dolby Atmos, Object Tracking Sound Lite, and Q-Symphony. It has more simplistic stands on the left and right edges, but you can also mount it on a VESA 300 x 200 compatible accessory.
It runs OS 7.0 (with Samsung Daily+) and comes with Samsung TV Plus for free video streaming. It features far-field microphones for voice commands. It has Alexa, Bixby, Google Assistant, Microsoft 365, Samsung Health, and Samsung Knox. It has a built-in SmartThings Hub with support for Thread and Zigbee modules. It is also compatible with Samsung's SlimFit Cam for video calling. It comes bundled with Samsung's SolarCell Remote, which can charge itself using ambient light.
The S85D's wireless connectivity features include Bluetooth 5.2, dual-band Wi-Fi 5, AirPlay, Smart View, Tap Sound, Tap View, and Wireless DeX. The TV has four HDMI 2.1 ports (one with eARC), an optical audio out port, two USB 2.0 Type-A ports, one RF port, one LAN port, and one 3.5mm headphone port.
