Hisense Extra (Hisense Tanzania) Reviews: Samsung TV 65S90C OLED in Tanzania
Searching for the perfect television can be a complex journey, especially when balancing cutting-edge technology with local availability and pricing here in Tanzania. Today, Hisense Extra (Hisense Tanzania) dives deep into a major contender in the premium market: the Samsung TV 65S90C OLED. If you are considering an upgrade to organic light-emitting diode technology, particularly a large 65-inch screen, this review will provide the local perspective you need to make an informed choice in the Tanzanian market.
Why OLED in Tanzania?
OLED technology represents the pinnacle of current display innovation. Unlike traditional LED or even QLED screens, OLED panels feature self-illuminating pixels. This means each pixel can be turned completely off, resulting in perfect blacks, infinite contrast, and truly vibrant colors. In the often brightly lit living spaces of Dar es Salaam or Arusha, this level of contrast is crucial for an immersive viewing experience, whether you are watching Bongo Flava music videos, international sports, or the latest Hollywood blockbusters. The Samsung 65S90C brings this technology to the forefront.
Design and Aesthetics
The Samsung 65S90C is a marvel of modern design. Its “LaserSlim” aesthetic ensures the panel is incredibly thin—often thinner than a mobile phone in some sections—providing a sophisticated, almost frameless look that blends seamlessly into any contemporary Tanzanian home décor. The thin bezels maximize the screen area, making the 65-inch display feel even more expansive. For those concerned about installation, the TV is surprisingly light for its size and offers flexible wall-mounting or a sleek, minimalist stand setup.
Picture Quality: The Core Experience
The performance of the 65S90C is nothing short of breathtaking. Utilizing Samsung’s Quantum Dot technology alongside the OLED panel (QD-OLED), this TV offers a unique blend of OLED’s perfect black levels with the superior brightness and color saturation typically associated with Quantum Dots.
Color Volume and Accuracy: Colors are rich, nuanced, and extremely accurate, avoiding the oversaturation sometimes seen in older displays. When watching documentaries featuring the vibrant wildlife of the Serengeti, the details and natural hues truly pop.
Brightness: A common historical concern with pure OLED has been peak brightness compared to high-end QLEDs. However, the S90C series significantly mitigates this. It is bright enough to handle daylight viewing in a well-lit Tanzanian living room, while its excellent anti-reflection coating minimizes distracting glare.
Motion Handling: For football fans or action movie enthusiasts, smooth motion is non-negotiable. The 65S90C offers superb motion clarity, crucial for following fast-paced action without blur. Its native 120Hz refresh rate ensures that broadcasts and next-gen gaming look fluid and crisp.
Smart Features and Operating System
The Samsung 65S90C runs on the Tizen operating system, which is generally fast, intuitive, and feature-rich. In Tanzania, the availability of specific local streaming services is important, and Tizen generally supports major international platforms like Netflix, YouTube, and Amazon Prime Video, alongside regional favorites where available. The TV’s smart hub makes navigating between apps, live TV, and connected devices effortless. The remote control is also notably user-friendly and rechargeable, a welcome addition.
Gaming Performance
For the growing community of gamers in Tanzania, the 65S90C is an elite choice. It features comprehensive support for HDMI 2.1 across all ports, offering 4K resolution at 120 frames per second (4K@120Hz). Features like Variable Refresh Rate (VRR) and Auto Low Latency Mode (ALLM) ensure an incredibly responsive and tear-free gaming experience, placing this TV among the top recommendations for use with the PlayStation 5 or Xbox Series X.
Sound Quality
While no thin-profile TV can fully replace a dedicated home theatre system, the built-in audio on the 65S90C is surprisingly capable, featuring Object Tracking Sound Lite (OTS Lite) which attempts to make the sound follow the action on screen. For the best cinematic experience, Hisense Extra (Hisense Tanzania) always recommends pairing this high-end display with a quality soundbar or surround sound system, many of which can be found locally.
Conclusion from Hisense Extra (Hisense Tanzania)
The Samsung TV 65S90C OLED is a premium investment, but one that justifies its price through exceptional picture quality, stunning design, and comprehensive smart features suitable for the modern Tanzanian household. It delivers an unparalleled viewing and gaming experience that is currently hard to beat in the 65-inch segment. If you are seeking the absolute best performance for movies and high-end gaming and can accommodate the premium price tag, the 65S90C deserves serious consideration.
