This price cut on the Samsung S85F is one of the best deals on an OLED TV I've seen in 2026—and this entry-level model was already on the low end of the price spectrum before the discount.

Right now, you can get the 55-inch model for $897.99 (originally $1,397.99), which is a surprising price point for a Samsung OLED. It's also the lowest price this TV has ever hit, according to price tracking tools. The 65-inch and 77-inch sizes are also discounted, down to $1,197.99 and $1,499.99, respectively.

Not everyone can afford OLED TVs, since they're the most expensive TV technology on the market—but they're worth the big jump in quality when it comes to picture quality and color accuracy. If you've been waiting for a good opportunity to get a decent-sized, well-reviewed OLED for a great price, consider the Samsung S85F.

As expected, Samsung had to make some cuts to sell an OLED for this price, and those cuts are in the audio department, screen brightness, and by cutting out Dolby Vision—but the picture quality, colors, and gaming features rival premium OLEDs. This OLED came out in Sept. 2025 and has drastically dropped in price since then.

What do you think so far?

Gamers can use the four HDMI 2.1 ports with support for 4K 120Hz, AMD FreeSync Premium, Nvidia G-Sync, ALLM, and HDR10+ gaming. The lag time is a mere 9.4ms, so you'll get fast, responsive performance. Of course, you also get Samsung’s Gaming Hub with access to cloud gaming apps.
