OLED magic: exceptional picture quality
The heart of the Samsung TQ48S90F lies in its 48-inch (122 cm) OLED panel manufactured by LG Display. This display technology relies on self-emissive pixels capable of turning on and off individually, thus offering perfect blacks and infinite contrast. Unlike LCD screens that require backlighting, each pixel generates its own light, allowing unmatched precision in image reproduction.
The 4K UHD resolution (3840 x 2160 pixels) guarantees exceptional sharpness, while compatibility with HDR10+ and HLG (Hybrid Log-Gamma) formats enhances high dynamic range content. The Auto HDR Remastering Pro technology analyzes and optimizes SDR content in real time to convert it to near-HDR, enriching the visual experience even with non-HDR sources.
The integrated anti-glare treatment significantly improves visual comfort by reducing light reflections on the screen. This feature proves particularly valuable in brightly lit rooms or when the television is placed facing a window.
The pixel density of 92 ppi (pixels per inch) ensures a perfectly defined image even at close viewing distance, ideal for small spaces where viewing distance is reduced.
Artificial intelligence serving the image
The Samsung TQ48S90F features the new NQ4 AI Gen3 processor, the television’s true brain that analyzes and optimizes every image in real time. Its computing power significantly improves visual quality through several advanced technologies.
The 4K AI Upscaling Pro function transforms lower resolution content (SD, HD, Full HD) into near-4K through deep learning algorithms. The processor analyzes the image, identifies objects and textures, then intelligently adds missing details for a sharper and more precise rendering.
Color Booster Pro uses AI to recognize colors and enhance their expression for each scene, offering a richer and more vivid palette. This technology analyzes content pixel by pixel to optimize saturation and brightness without distorting the original artistic intent.
OLED HDR+ fully exploits the OLED panel’s capabilities by dynamically adjusting brightness and contrast based on the displayed content. This technology delivers brilliant images with bright highlights while preserving detail in shadows.
An uncompromising gaming experience
The Samsung TQ48S90F proves to be a valuable ally for demanding gamers thanks to a set of gaming-dedicated features. Its native 100Hz refresh rate can reach 144Hz via Motion Xcelerator 144Hz technology, guaranteeing optimal fluidity even in the most intense action scenes.
Compatibility with AMD FreeSync Premium eliminates screen tearing and stuttering issues by perfectly synchronizing the television’s refresh rate with that of the console or PC.

Dolby Atmos compatibility transforms the living room into a true cinema by creating a three-dimensional sound environment where sounds seem to come from all directions.
OTS Lite (Object Tracking Sound) technology intelligently analyzes the scene to synchronize sound with the movement of objects on screen. This sound spatialization significantly enhances the sense of immersion by perfectly aligning audio with visual action.
Adaptive Sound Pro automatically adjusts audio settings based on the content being viewed. The television recognizes the type of program (movie, sports, news, etc.) and optimizes the sound balance for optimal dialogue clarity and rendering adapted to each situation.
The Q-Symphony function represents a major innovation by allowing simultaneous use of the television’s speakers with a compatible Samsung soundbar. Instead of disabling the television’s speakers as most systems do, Q-Symphony harmoniously integrates them with the soundbar to create a richer and more expansive soundstage.
An intelligent and scalable ecosystem
The Samsung TQ48S90F runs on Tizen OS, a fluid and intuitive operating system with 7 years of guaranteed updates. The One UI 2025 interface offers simplified navigation with personalized recommendations and quick access to favorite content and applications.
The Bixby and Alexa voice assistants are natively integrated, allowing voice control of the television to search for content, adjust settings, or control connected devices. The Live Translate function facilitates understanding of foreign language content by offering real-time translation.
The SmartThings hub transforms the television into a true control center for the connected home. It allows easy management of all compatible devices (lighting, thermostats, cameras, etc.) directly from the television screen, without additional applications.
The Multi View function divides the screen to display up to two sources simultaneously, ideal for following a match while checking statistics or for playing a video game while watching a tutorial. This feature proves particularly useful in the multitasking era.
Connectivity is comprehensive with four HDMI 2.1 ports supporting 4K at 144Hz, two USB ports, an Ethernet connection, an optical audio output, and antenna inputs. Wi-Fi 5 and Bluetooth 5.3 ensure a stable and fast wireless connection, with the ability to connect two Bluetooth devices simultaneously.
What the press says
The Samsung S90F handles almost everything. In a dedicated home theater space, it stands out by combining the deep black contrast of OLED with vibrant colors, impactful HDR highlights, and exceptional image processing. Its SDR brightness is average, but its excellent reflection handling makes the picture captivating in rooms with moderate to high lighting.

Frequently Asked Questions
Does the TQ48S90F use a QD-OLED or WOLED panel?
For the S90F series in Europe, only the 65-inch size uses a QD-OLED panel, while all other sizes (42”, 48”, 55”, 77”, and 83”) use WOLED panels. Samsung does not manufacture QD-OLED panels in 42, 48, and 83 inches, so these sizes always use WOLED panels regardless of the market.
Is the television at risk of image retention (burn-in)?
Like all OLED screens, the TQ48S90F can theoretically be subject to image retention (or burn-in) if a static image remains displayed for very long periods. However, Samsung has integrated several prevention technologies that significantly reduce this risk. The television includes algorithms that detect logos and static elements to subtly adjust their brightness, as well as a pixel refresh system that activates automatically during periods of inactivity. For varied home use (movies, series, games), the risk is minimal.
How does Q-Symphony technology work and which devices is it compatible with?
Q-Symphony is an audio technology exclusive to Samsung that allows simultaneous use of the television’s speakers with a compatible soundbar. Unlike traditional systems that disable the television’s speakers when a soundbar is connected, Q-Symphony makes them work together to create a more expansive and immersive soundstage. This technology is compatible with most recent Samsung soundbars (Q and S series). Synchronization occurs automatically via HDMI eARC without complex configuration.
What does the NQ4 AI Gen3 processor concretely bring to the visual experience?
The NQ4 AI Gen3 processor represents the third generation of Samsung’s artificial intelligence processors. It analyzes each image in real time to optimize it according to several parameters: upscaling of non-4K content, contrast enhancement, color optimization, noise reduction, and motion compensation. Through deep learning, it recognizes different types of content (sports, movies, animation) to apply the most appropriate processing. Improvements are particularly visible on medium-quality content (TV channels, standard definition streaming) which gains sharpness and dynamism.
How do I configure the television to achieve the best possible picture quality?
For optimal picture quality, start by selecting Filmmaker mode which respects the artistic intent of content creators. For HDR content, activate HDR+ mode to maximize dynamics. Disable superfluous image processing such as noise reduction and motion smoothing for movies. For gaming, use Game mode which reduces latency while preserving visual quality. The Smart Calibration tool allows basic calibration using a compatible smartphone. For demanding cinephiles, professional calibration remains recommended to fully exploit the OLED panel’s capabilities.
