Panel Type

The technology used by television to display images.

Neo QLED

Development of QLED using mini-LED (smaller and more LEDs) in the backlight, approaching OLED in black performance.

Offers a wider color gamut and higher maximum brightness compared to LED and OLED. The corresponding technology for LG TVs is called QNED.
Refresh Rate

The refresh rate is the number of frames per second that a TV can display and is expressed in hertz (Hz). Most TVs are 50/60 Hz, while some are 100 or 120 Hz. Higher frame rates offer smoother images (without stuttering or blurring) in fast-paced scenes such as sports or action movies.

Description

The Samsung QN90A series is aimed at demanding users who desire a high-quality TV with top-of-the-line image and sound technologies.

This series includes Quantum Dot technology, which offers stunningly vivid colors and contrast, and Direct Full Array technology, which allows local control of brightness and black levels for improved clarity and contrast in dark scenes.

Super-focused lights, epic blacks and a brilliantly intense picture

Quantum Matrix Technology

The evolution of Neo QLED comes with Quantum Matrix technology, which precisely controls the new, tiny Quantum Mini LEDs and delivers blacks, whites and every shade in between more accurately than ever before. This delivers exceptional detail in dark and bright areas in the image.

Artificial intelligence processor with neural networks

Neo Quantum 4K Processor

Samsung's powerful quantum AI processor uses neural networks to process and enhance the image, giving you stunning quality with any content. In each scene, the processor adjusts the performance depending on the viewing conditions. Dynamic 4K AI upscaling ensures you get true 4K resolution in your picture.

*Viewing experience may vary depending on content types and format. Upscaling may not apply to PC connection and in Game Mode.

Stunning contrast just as the director wishes

Quantum HDR 32x

Shades and details come to life with rich, precise color and deep contrast. HDR10+'s Dynamic Tone Mapping modifies color and contrast on a scene-by-scene basis, allowing you to perceive even the smallest details.

*Quantum HDR's brightness range is based on internal testing standards and is subject to change based on viewing conditions or specifications.

A billion shades with Quantum Dot

100% Color Volume with Quantum Dot

Quantum Dot technology offers our best picture. With 100% color volume, Quantum Dot converts light into stunning color that remains unchanged at any brightness level.

*100% color volume is measured in Tape Mode and DCI-P3 color space, with VDE certification.

Minimal reflection to reduce distractions

Protection from Reflections

Don't let the brightness of the sun interrupt your midday game or the reflections from the lights ruin your evening movie. Thanks to Anti Reflection technology, you get less interference from light reflection wherever you place your TV in your home.

Sound that moves with the action

With built-in speakers, you can enjoy vivid, realistic 3D sound that puts you right in the middle of the action.

Self-optimised sound to suit your space

Owner of the TV (50") here for a month now and absolutely satisfied.
The picture is clearly superior to regular QLEDs and the sound is very good with 60W, it covers me before I activate the sound system if I want to.
The computer is small, I would have preferred it to be "easier", but you get used to it.
I regret the size... I should have gone for 55", but of course, the TV is not to blame for that.

POSITIVES:
- Stunning picture with great brightness and contrasts.
- Extremely deep blacks.
- Very good viewing angles.
- Excellent sound quality.
- No issues with backlight bleeding, dirty screen effect, uniformity, etc. I didn't notice any blooming even in subtitles, as some people have mentioned. Only minimal white on the edges on a black background, which you only notice if you specifically check for it. I don't know if I was lucky and got a perfect panel, but the TV is almost flawless across the board.
- Good minimalistic design, sturdy center stand for no worries about it falling, easy setup, easy channel and app navigation.
- Excellent for gaming with many options.

NEGATIVES:
- The menu could have a slightly faster response and more convenient organization. The magic remote, which is like a mouse and has a scroll wheel like LG's, is probably more convenient. However, the Samsung layout is also easy to get used to.
- IMPORTANT: Samsung does not support DTS audio in the media player, so if you plan on using it to load movies and series onto flash drives/disks, an LG might be more suitable. Of course, there is also the option of using Plex to stream movies from your PC (which might ultimately be more convenient than constantly inserting and removing disks and flash drives, and it has a very easy setup). Either way, it is a significant omission for a €1000 TV (it also does not have Dolby Vision).
- Reflections in a bright room are less intense compared to the LG OLED C1 (if you are deciding between the two), but they are still present, especially if there is a window or light source opposite the screen. It depends on how much you ignore them and focus on the content. In lower lighting, there is no issue.
- It only has one HDMI 2.1 port.

CONCLUSION: A perfect TV that excels in everything is hard to find... One lacks something, the other falls short here, and another surpasses in another aspect. Despite the small issues I mentioned, I give it 5 stars because the picture quality (which is the most important) is amazing!

Tip: If you're not going for OLED and have doubts about the panel you received, don't start doing uniformity tests as soon as you turn on the TV... Most likely, you will notice a small spot that has an "issue," and then your eyes will constantly be drawn to it, and you might even consider returning it, risking getting a worse panel... Just try out a lot of content (very bright, very dark, with many colors, etc.), and if you don't see any real problems, relax and enjoy your TV...

The television has a pretty good picture and sound. Tremendously black for LED compared to older ones, it is quite close to OLED technology, very good in combination with the PS5 as well. Unfortunately, there are still series with problematic panels. Buying the 50-inch size, as I was watching, I noticed various vertical and horizontal lines opening as soon as I turned it on, doing a uniformity test mainly on white, gray, and blue, it was more than intense. Also, when you sit down to watch football or other sports where the panel is usually in one color and there is camera movement, it was annoying. In movies, it was better, but an experienced eye could notice it in various scenes (I attach a photo where it shows somewhat). From a mini research, I saw that many people worldwide have an issue with the panel in general, which shows banding from the beginning, even in models outside of Europe. It was purchased from a well-known chain of stores, they didn't expect it to be in such a good TV series, they immediately said replacement, to everyone's surprise, opening the new one in the store displayed exactly the same issue in different areas. We immediately went to the models in the exhibition, did the same test, and they were flawless! Unfortunately, I fell into a batch with defective panels. Immediately, I expected communication from them with the headquarters, obviously! Objectively, it is a pretty good TV, it's just a shame that in their best series, such flaws exist for such a serious company! Immediately, I changed my mind and went back to the choice of OLED technology from the rival brand C1, there is no need for comparison, watch channels like rtings or HDTVtest! Of course, there are always pros and cons! I hope I helped future buyers.

I read the reviews on rtings and various other sites and after a lot of searching, I ended up with this one. The review on rtings says it all and I don't want to say anything more. Of course, it concerns the American version, which has slight differences from the European one as far as I found out. I didn't use the picture settings they recommend, I didn't like them and I ended up with the ones from the review fella on YouTube. That's all.

I bought it for 1039 euros with a soundbar as a gift. Incredible image. I highly recommend it. The colors are amazing and its blacks can be compared to an OLED. Very good construction with a metallic base. The only negative is that it has one HDMI 2.1 port. The viewing angles are very good and in terms of reflection, it is exceptional.

My wife gave it to me as a gift 3 days ago. We haven't been able to watch a full movie because the screen turns off on its own and it takes over 20 minutes to turn back on. Then it happens again, but in a much shorter period of time. Samsung's customer support is very polite but completely inadequate for such products. After they remotely performed a factory reset and the TV had the problem again right at the end, they opened a ticket for a technician to come yesterday or today. Today, when I called them again, they told me that the technician will call me and to wait. After many attempts, they gave me his phone number (which he didn't answer) and after I went to his store, which is 800 meters away from my house, I found out that it is closed (obviously, they left for a break). The support's response was "we caused the damage. You are expected to receive a call from the technician. We can't do anything else". After all this, the TV will be returned to the store for a replacement with a different manufacturer. To be fair, I have to say that the picture quality of the TV is very good, but what can you do when the whole experience is terrible.

Owner of the TV (50") here for a month now and absolutely satisfied.
The picture is clearly superior to regular QLEDs and the sound is very good with 60W, it covers me before I activate the sound system if I want to.
The computer is small, I would have preferred it to be "easier", but you get used to it.
I regret the size... I should have gone for 55", but of course, the TV is not to blame for that.

After one week, I can say that I cannot find anything negative about this incredible television's picture.

POSITIVES:
- Stunning picture with great brightness and contrasts.
- Extremely deep blacks.
- Very good viewing angles.
- Excellent sound quality.
- No issues with backlight bleeding, dirty screen effect, uniformity, etc. I didn't notice any blooming even in subtitles, as some people have mentioned. Only minimal white on the edges on a black background, which you only notice if you specifically check for it. I don't know if I was lucky and got a perfect panel, but the TV is almost flawless across the board.
- Good minimalistic design, sturdy center stand for no worries about it falling, easy setup, easy channel and app navigation.
- Excellent for gaming with many options.

NEGATIVES:
- The menu could have a slightly faster response and more convenient organization. The magic remote, which is like a mouse and has a scroll wheel like LG's, is probably more convenient. However, the Samsung layout is also easy to get used to.
- IMPORTANT: Samsung does not support DTS audio in the media player, so if you plan on using it to load movies and series onto flash drives/disks, an LG might be more suitable. Of course, there is also the option of using Plex to stream movies from your PC (which might ultimately be more convenient than constantly inserting and removing disks and flash drives, and it has a very easy setup). Either way, it is a significant omission for a €1000 TV (it also does not have Dolby Vision).
- Reflections in a bright room are less intense compared to the LG OLED C1 (if you are deciding between the two), but they are still present, especially if there is a window or light source opposite the screen. It depends on how much you ignore them and focus on the content. In lower lighting, there is no issue.
- It only has one HDMI 2.1 port.

CONCLUSION: A perfect TV that excels in everything is hard to find... One lacks something, the other falls short here, and another surpasses in another aspect. Despite the small issues I mentioned, I give it 5 stars because the picture quality (which is the most important) is amazing!

Tip: If you're not going for OLED and have doubts about the panel you received, don't start doing uniformity tests as soon as you turn on the TV... Most likely, you will notice a small spot that has an "issue," and then your eyes will constantly be drawn to it, and you might even consider returning it, risking getting a worse panel... Just try out a lot of content (very bright, very dark, with many colors, etc.), and if you don't see any real problems, relax and enjoy your TV...

The television has a pretty good picture and sound. Tremendously black for LED compared to older ones, it is quite close to OLED technology, very good in combination with the PS5 as well. Unfortunately, there are still series with problematic panels. Buying the 50-inch size, as I was watching, I noticed various vertical and horizontal lines opening as soon as I turned it on, doing a uniformity test mainly on white, gray, and blue, it was more than intense. Also, when you sit down to watch football or other sports where the panel is usually in one color and there is camera movement, it was annoying. In movies, it was better, but an experienced eye could notice it in various scenes (I attach a photo where it shows somewhat). From a mini research, I saw that many people worldwide have an issue with the panel in general, which shows banding from the beginning, even in models outside of Europe. It was purchased from a well-known chain of stores, they didn't expect it to be in such a good TV series, they immediately said replacement, to everyone's surprise, opening the new one in the store displayed exactly the same issue in different areas. We immediately went to the models in the exhibition, did the same test, and they were flawless! Unfortunately, I fell into a batch with defective panels. Immediately, I expected communication from them with the headquarters, obviously! Objectively, it is a pretty good TV, it's just a shame that in their best series, such flaws exist for such a serious company! Immediately, I changed my mind and went back to the choice of OLED technology from the rival brand C1, there is no need for comparison, watch channels like rtings or HDTVtest! Of course, there are always pros and cons! I hope I helped future buyers.

I read the reviews on rtings and various other sites and after a lot of searching, I ended up with this one. The review on rtings says it all and I don't want to say anything more. Of course, it concerns the American version, which has slight differences from the European one as far as I found out. I didn't use the picture settings they recommend, I didn't like them and I ended up with the ones from the review fella on YouTube. That's all.
