Samsung QN90D: Reddit's Verdict on the Bright Room King

90D is actually better

You should definitely get the QN90D that is an awesome deal. It is a bright room beast. The bravia9 isn't even close to worth $2100 more, that's laughable. QN90D is one of the best mini led out there.

yes it's a good TV

Sony is better for your usage but it's not 150% better than a QN90D. Get the QN90D.

Don't get the 55" I got it and found out it was IPS-ADS panel instead of VA, blooming was bad.

QN90D is just better TV. With matte screen you lost details/contrast. QN90D has double contrast.

By no means is the qn90d a slouch. 270,000:1 contrast and 2100 peak 10% is still very good.

What Sony is to upscaling is what Samsung is to glare handling. If either of these doesn't work in your room, then nothing will.

I bought the QN90D and it's a great TV. A few niggles though. Tizen OS can get stuttery at times when navigating through the home page. There is no way to enable a bottom of the screen dock with your pinned apps anymore. And there is this absolutely annoying message that pops up warning you of the Energy Consumption when you try to change the colour profile. Otherwise, the display is excellent.

As someone who owns both an 85" QN90B and 83" LG G5: watching general TV, sports, tv shows the QLED holds up really well. Watching movies in a dark room though, with darker more complex scenes, the OLED is so much better.

I can answer your question since i own both a 77 LG G5 and a 85 samsung qn90d. I have direct sunlight with big windows during the day, and the samsung is amazing for that. When visitors see it they say it looks great. And it does. But if i watch the g5 for a couple hours the samsung looks worse.

Samsung does not care about the customer and puts whatever panel they can find into their QN85D and QN90D TVs, which means it's a total lottery.

My main TV is a Sony X95L, which is amazing. But my 50, 55 and 65 QN90's look just as good in the various bright rooms they're in. The main two issues are the WiFi degrading after a few years.

My 85" has been a fantastic set for my very bright living room (windows on 2 sides). Firmware is a touch laggy and the eARC connectivity with my newer Yamaha receiver is a bit flaky (ARC is 100% reliable) but otherwise no problems with my set.

I went with the qn90d because of the 144hz gaming capability even though its a console that will be connected (max 120hz). I do have a PC w/ 4090GPU that can easily do 144hz and occasionally connect the TV for couch gaming.

QN90D is better.

I also bought an 85QN90D after a few years with a 65X90L. I have not noticed any drop in motion quality and have been really impressed with its performance. Sony still looks good but it cant come close to the blacks of the QN90D.

I ended up going with the Samsung 85QN90D and my first-day impressions are pretty amazing so far!

I love the monitor. Black levels are great. I'm not having any issues with it at all.

That is a really good deal and completely worth it, it's a great high end mini led.

For that price the QN90D is a no brainer. It's a very good TV.

I have this thing ON 9hrs a day straight. Black levels are excellent even in a dark room. Blooming is minimal. Text clarity superb at 150% scaling. Only thing OLED has over this is motion. This panel is way underrated.

I have the QN90D and i want to return it, its very juddery with fast scenes, making it bad to watch movies, done heaps of research and done what everyone says to do but doesnt fix the problem.

I have only had mine since this Saturday. I have not noticed any stutter, jitter or any issues. I have tested it on Samsung TV, Youtube TV, Netflix, HULU, Prime, Paramount+, Disney+, MAX and i have not found any issue at all.

Wait does it bring you to that stupid app when you hit the home button instead of the bar dock at the bottom? I was over at someone's house and tried it and ABSOLUTELY hated it. Love the dock!

It's. So. Much. Brighter. lol. It's fantastic compared to a c4. I don't recommend the c4. Mini LED or G series all day.

I have a qn90a. I'd never get it again if I could, it's terrible to play games, it has a very poor backlight control that yes, doesn't have blooming but crushes details and have weird discoloration artifacts. My advise: avoid it!

Its probably the best TV you could buy in this price range lol.

Just got the 75inch one from best buy for 1499 great tv for gaming so smooth.

It has poor dimming zone transitions and slow pixel response times. Depending on your use cases, the oleds might be better but come with other issues (abl, black crush, poor brightness).

I just bought the 85" QN90D for $1,999 from Costco plus they included an extended warranty. Couldn't justify spending more for the F.

After a few minutes of watching it, pretty happy with the choice. No need to splurge for the F.

The F sucks when the room goes dim. You watch movies in the evening with glaring bright light? Go with the D.

I ended up choosing the 90d. The qn1xd is by far a better value and if I had the luxury of waiting, I would've gone that route.

Terrible viewing angles. The picture was nice when watching directly from the center but you could see the difference in the 2nd tv right next to you. I dont get the hype around this tv. Very expensive for that quality. I would go for a TLC C7k which is cheaper or go with OLED.

Do not buy the Qn90d. I got a 75" last Feb. Have had a sound issue ever since. If tv is used a few times a day turned on and off then the sound becomes completely muffled. Need to turn up to 60-70 only way to fix it is to do a hard shut down by holding down the power button. Multiple Samsung techs came out to look at it. Said only way to fix is with a software update. That has still yet to occur.

I've had mine for a week now. It's absolutely amazing.

Using this as a monitor is a 10/10 experience. Just be flexible with how far away you sit from your monitor, and you will love it.

It's one of the best mini leds on the market. Yes it's extremely good.

Had a qn90b from 2022 until last week when it met an unfortunate end, replaced with a qn90d. They look the complete same to me. Turns out the qn90d will get 7 years of updates though so thats nice.

The Samsung Q90D would be the better option over the QN90A. The picture processing and upscaling abilities are better, it's brighter and has more dimming zones so the black level and HDR highlights are better.

My QN90D is plenty bright, although I do wish I had a matte screen.
