Samsung Drops $1,300 Off This Outstanding 4K OLED TV for Your PS5 or Xbox Series X Console – IGN
Here’s your chance to get one of the best OLED TVs on the market at an amazing price. Right now, Samsung is offering its 65″ Samsung S90C 4K OLED Smart TV for only $1,299.99 after a massive 50% price drop. Free shipping is offered for select zip codes, but you can also pick it up in-store at your local Best Buy. This is an excellent TV to pair up with your PlayStation 5 or Xbox Series X. In fact, this TV could even be a better gaming TV than the LG C4. Although we haven’t personally tested it, RTINGS has and they mention that “the LG (C4) is noticeably dimmer in Game Mode while the Samsung (S90C) isn’t, making the Samsung the better choice for gamers.”
Update: The 83″ model has also dropped to $2,599.99, which is the least expensive OLED TV you’ll find over 80″. (It’s even less expensive than the 83″ LG B4 OLED even though the S90C is way better.)

The Samsung S90C is a 2023 model (superseded by the S90D for 2024) and was considered one of the best OLED TVs on the market last year, superior to even the LG C3. The S90C uses Samsung’s proprietary quantum dot (QD) OLED panel. QD OLED panels are brighter than traditional OLED panels without losing the color accuracy, range, and wide-viewing angles that OLEDs are known for. It’s generally considered superior to LG’s “Evo” technology found on the C-series TVs, which attempt to do the same thing. Compared to a traditional LED LCD TV, an OLED TV offers superior image quality, near-infinite blacks, near-infinite contrast ratio, and near-instantaneous response times. At the moment, there’s no better panel technology that’s readily available at a reasonable price.
OLED technology aside, the Samsung S90C also has all the features you’d want in a gaming TV. It has a native 120Hz panel that can be pushed to as high as 144Hz (rare in a 2023 TV) as well as four total HDMI 2.1 ports for running 4K at 120Hz on a PS5 or Xbox Series X. The S90C also supports variable refresh rate and auto low latency mode.
Despite being a generation old, the S90C is still easily one of the best gaming TVs on the market right now. It’s currently priced the same as this 65″ LG C3 4K OLED TV deal. If I had to choose, I’d go with this TV over the LG C3. If you’re looking for a less expensive TV or one of a different size, check out the rest of the best TV deals.
