Highly recommend qn91b 65" I am already after 1 month of testing it. For me it is great while using in dark room or bright room. Black levels are really good, brightness is amazing, gaming is on other level as well. Really in majority of scenes difference is minimal comparing to s95b (only in really really dark scenes) which my colleague own since few months. Only downside for me is little blooming effect in scenes where you see one source of light/ subtitles on dark screen, it gets worse while watching it from bigger angles, however it is not big issue because I am always sitting almost in front of the screen. Additionally no burn in risk for me was one of major factors to choose it over LG OLED C2 which was exactly at same price that time in store. Additionally, reflections in bright store area were too noticeable on LG as I could see myself almost like in the mirror on the screen, even on maximum brightness level. Thanks to staff who presented it on different brightness level on both TV's. Tizen is average but enough. I am using this tv for gaming on XSX/PS4, HD cable tv, Netflix, HBO, sports watching. I Didn't spot any issues on any of above usage. Didn't spot any downsides in terms of quality of panel, no dead pixels etc ... In general I was a little bit afraid of Samsung's quality control but mine is totally fine. Btw. Love your videos. Cheers from Poland

[@Slip_The_Jab]

I bought my QN90B 65” about a month ago and are very happy myself. I was wondering if you’ve updated your firmware? Since installing my panel has been fully offline no Wi-Fi or LAN connection. Due to all the warnings I’ve been cautious. The picture is fantastic to me and I see no reason to mess with perfection unless I’m missing something? Figured I’d ask about your experience thus far, Thanks in advance.😎

[@TechWithKG]

Great review FOMO, I am glad you got to see the QN90B without the issues like I did, interesting that your first one was a hardware failure that makes sense from what you showed. I agree this TV is my top non-OLED TV this year, and if your use case is any kind of bright room watching at all just get this over an OLED TV.

[@mrb0775]

And KG, Consumer Reports agrees with your conclusion that the QN90B is the "top non-OLED TV this year", because on the online site for Consumer Reports (for those who have paid subscriptions to that site), the test results of 65 inch 2022 and 2021 model year TVs, have the 65 inch QN90B out scoring all of the other non-OLED TVs, among the dozens of 65 inch models tested, including the Sony 65" X95K.

[@mrb0775]

@John John, the first sentence of your post "Not when it comes to realistic picture I have both Sony blows your way for real contact don’t watch black bars" may make some sense to you, but would you please rewrite that statement in a more coherent way that clearly communicates your meaning to a well educated American, such as yours truly. I mean, for example, what does your phrase "I have both Sony blows your way for real contact" actually mean? And is your statement "I have both Sony" supposed to indicate to readers that you actually have both Sony TVs among 2 different unnamed Sony models? I'm sorry, but it really is difficult to figure out the precise meaning of whatever the exact point is that you were trying to make.

[@FenixPajarito]

@Stop The FOMO I've been telling myself this. Yes OLEDs have the best Blacks, but when we're watching content are we watching black background scenes with fruits falling down in slow motion? No, most content we watch is colored. However OLEDs still have the better viewing angles but are we really watching tvs from the side? What I also think is that OLEDs still have better detail than Mini Leds. Anyways I already bought a 55" Samsung S95B for $1530 on Amazon Prime Day a few days ago. But was thinking to return it and get the 55" Samsung QN90B. What should I do?

It’s brighter, but outside of that the contrast is much worse, and the color luminance especially shows itself on the S95b to the point where the Qn90b looks washed out.

I feel your pain! I got a Xbox series x. Got an a80j: looks amazing in games but the auto dimming (ASBL / TPC & GSR 😑) sucks! It kills immersion. Then I got an x90j…. The lack of dimming zones sucks, the dirty screen look in games around HUDS is bad and I ALREADY got a dead pixel in the middle of the screen. Sony says 9 are acceptable… If you game, NONE are acceptable lol 😑. Now I’m gonna try the QN90B and get the total tech Best Buy warranty. I don’t trust the longevity of this overpriced new technology 🤔

[@sheabaldwin7270]

Hard choice, for our media room I’d definitely need a 75”+ TV, it’s main use would be gaming, all platforms, and family movie nights. The room can be as bright or dark as I need it to be considering 4 windows with interior shutters & blackout curtains when needed (so not really an issue). I do fear burn in (especially if it’s left on & paused), and we are sensitive (can’t stand the soap opera effect). So I guess it’s pick one or the other & live with it. I’d prefer 2-3k over 4-5k in price obviously. Either way this will be our first jump into 4K so should be a great improvement, just want to make sure we get at least 5years of enjoyment out of it.

[@mikek5631]

I have an OLED in my living room. Love it. Best viewing experience We've ever had for both TV and Movies. Having said that, I would never buy an OLED for a gaming TV. People can say whatever they want about how OLEDs have improved as far as image retention and burn in but the fact remains that it's still a real risk regardless. No way would I spend $1500-$2000 on an OLED TV if it was also going to be a gaming TV. Maybe if I was rich and could splurge for a new TV every 3-4 years but I need my TVs to last more than 5 years. The Samsung would be my choice for gaming just for piece of mind. It's a fantastic TV and I doubt anyone would have any regrets with it for a gaming TV.

[@nomadhomad3685]

THANK YOU! I'm so tired of hearing the counter points.

[@silverwatchdog]

Wow I have the opposite setup. A 48” C1 for my pc and getting a 75” QN90B for living room. The reason is the living room is hard to light control because it’s a central part of the house while my pc is in my bedroom which is easy to light control. Had it for 2 years now and using it in the worst case scenario with TPC (brightness turned on on static images was very annoying on pc) turned completely off. Still no hint of burn in yet, 1200 hours of on time. If you are console gaming it’s no problem. Maybe for pcs there could problems but I haven’t encounter any yet. I do have a live wallpaper with wallpaper engine and that’s the only protection I have

[@silverwatchdog]

@@theholypopechodeii4367 I still don't have it yet. Will get it tomorrow and I will then reply again once I watched some things on it to get a general idea of it looks.

[@silverwatchdog]

@@theholypopechodeii4367 Looks great. It works perfect in that environment. I think an OLED would just be too reflective. In a bedroom it works great which is why I use one for my PC, but the living room is open space with a lot of windows. Also definitely prefer the colours on it as opposed to an OLED. The image feels more alive for sure especially with the high brightness. But I would definitely not use it as a PC monitor because of its slow response times and blooming around icons. It doesn't have a noticeable bloom on videos though. These don't really affect movie content which is why it's great for a living room/home cinema setup. I think this was the right choice for my situation, but if you can fully light control a room, a QD OLED is probably still the best. Also got really lucky with the panel lottery. Got an extremely clean panel. It's as clean as my C1 which is a massive bonus as bad DSE can suck a lot for sports.

[@silverwatchdog]

@@theholypopechodeii4367 I didn't say it had bad blooming. It's completely imperceivable in most content, it's just super obvious around white icons on a black background. It does give great contrast for sure. And its response times are good, but they aren't good enough for me, but once you see OLED instant response times on a PC it's no competition. But the QN90B does have a look about it where it does make you feel like you are looking out a window, which sometimes an OLED doesn't have.

[@dj_houdini7766]

Please stop with recommending TVs with the rainbow effect for bright rooms. It's introducing screen wide color artifacts just to cut down on a little glare. These panels should be getting a hard Fail for reflection handling. The bigger the screen, the worse it gets.

That’s weird. The c1 doesn’t flicker with VRR, unless you encounter a massive stutter suddenly. I am taking like averaging 100fps and then it dropping to 10fps the next frame. It will take a frame or 2 to adjust if the frame rate swings wildly. However there is a bug with gsync that causes randomly colour flashes and screen blanks with rtx 3000 gpus but it’s fixed by just restarting the driver with windows alt b, or by disabling and renabling gsync in the game optimiser. It’s quite rare though and only happens 1/50 times you turn on your pc. Hopefully they fix it because it never happened before the C2 was launched.

Can the QN90B pass Uncompressed 5.1/7.1 multichannel audio through it's eARC to an A/V? This ability is supposed to work over eARC, however it did not work on the Q90T from 2020. I use an Xbox Series to test this. It fails at the Xbox's audio settings menu, when attempting to enable 5.1 or 7.1 uncompressed audio, while it is connected to the eARC port of a Q90T. Thank you for all the great reviews.

Is the local dimming failure something that comes up after using the tv (even out of warranty) or something that existed from day 1 (in that case replacement should be easy)?

[@scottmoreau3478]

I have the QN90A, which is pretty much the same tv. I love it but the DSE on these panels is crap. It's not noticeable in normal content but as soon as sports come on or a lighter image, it's there. I especially notice it on an angle where it looks like vertical lines.

[@evalangley3985]

I bought a QN82Q900R in 2020. I couldn't have it installed due to COVID and when it was installed, it lasted a whole 2 days. I bought it online and the store was asking to pay shipping back and Samsung refused to exchange it for the similar model, the QN82Q900T since the QN82Q900R was a clearance model. I fought about 2 months for having it exchange and Samsung ALWAYS refused. I accepted the TV to be repaired by a technician. They replaced the main board, and the TV only lasted 2 months. I knew this was going to happen so i was super pissed. Not the first time I troubleshoot and when something is DOA, you don't get it fixed, you get it replaced or it would just die again. Anyway, the technician is coming back and this time they replaced the main board and the whole screen since the powerboard is fixed to it. Since this was a power related issue, I asked the connectbox to be exchanged at the same time. The technician had to call Samsung to have the approbation to do so because Samsung only authorize the technicians to replace a SINGLE part per visit. In the end, the only parts on my TV that were not exchanged are the speakers and the cover panel... Good job Samsung... If you can avoid Samsung customer support, just do it. If you buy a big TV online, make sure it is from a store that will pay for back shipping. Return your TV to the store and don't bother with Samsung customer support. I wasted probably 6 hours on the phone with them if not more.

Do you recommend this over the 85inch Samsung Frame? It will be in a very bright room with lots of windows

[@stopthefomo]

QN90B if you don't need anti-glare and you want the best in HDR movies. But if you are hanging up art in a room (like me, Frame is my background TV) and need it to look natural with light/glare all around, then only the Frame can do this - 2 different TVs with diverse purposes. Frame is at best an average TV for SDR sources but is the only TV you can hang in a vertical orientation (up to 65")

[@boolisa]

[@blakeproud]

I have this TV and it is ELITE. Blacks are black and to me, I'm not a TV guru, I can't notice the difference between OLED and this. The three issues I have are Tizen sucks Wifi / ethernet is still throttled st 100mbps Viewing angle isn't great (although this is irrelevant to me). A fix to some of the above ... I use the fire stick max 4k and get 250mbps speeds and it gives me access to heaps more apps - bit annoying to toggle between the two but Firestick makes it pretty easy. Blooming is good, like you get blooming but it's only around titles and white text on black mainly. Oh also I got the 85" and in Australia we have NO 4k content so probably would have done. 75" in hind site just for better picture. 10/10 TV that is extremely future proof

[@DanielBrownOre]

When Rtings says the A actually slightly beats the B overall it makes zero sense to pick the B... I got the 85" A for $2300 and am really impressed! Firmware updates have really helped, using High standard dimming doesn't hurt blacks much at all, and only have to raise gamma and shadow detail 1 notch at the most to get a great pic even with very dark content, and that still keeps great overall black levels. No Dolby Vision is no big deal at all on a high end mini LED when you have so much brightness with so much tight control of it they can set a single min and max brightness level for the whole title and be effective without needing per scene variance.

[@G-J-92]

I had a qn900a and now a qn900b and noticed both had some local dimming issues with standard picture mode. I set movie mode to the exact same settings as standard and there is no issue and local dimming works perfectly. Is this something you could check?!

[@tomoktom3758]

I have had qn91b for 2 months, two weeks ago there was update probably - LOCAL DIMMING GONE - the most important feature !!!, the service centre did a reset twice but it didn't help, they know nothong here in Poland, just ask sometimes stupid questions, they didn't prepare a form of the issue, so the problem was not registered for two weeks !, only yesterday the local service informed me that it is registered, there was a guy here from this service but knew nothing - also the differences between modes Filmmaker and Film gone, Film was a bit more saturated (same settings) - I don't know what to do - the firmware in the tv now is 1504

[@scottscott5827]

Don't buy a QN90B until you go to Best Buy and look at the ceiling lights reflecting off the TV screen. Rainbow, rainbow, rainbow. The rainbow effect is extremely distracting. It appears when any light source reflects off the QN90B screen. The QN85B has no rainbow effect.

Why on earth did Samsung ditch the One Connect box for this TV. It was universally praised and was a god send for wall mounting. Samsung is one of those company's that changes things that aren't broken. They've done it with One Connect and also they've butchered Tizen which used to be a breeze to use!!

@fomo are you going to compare the 90b vs the 900b?

[@rogly90]

Just ordered the qn90b 85 inch at Best Buy. I am a bit concerned that I will not love it as I got the Sony a80j 65 for the bedroom. Main reason I went with the qn90b was a. It will be a living room tv b. My father lives with me now and it will see higher usage and c. It was cheaper than the c1 83 which was what I am debating against. I am coming from is a Samsung plasma f8500. Did I make the right choice with the qn90b or should I cancel and go with the c1 83 inch since I just got oled a80j recently and may notice all the things about non oled TVs? Thanks!

[@hedgelot9756]

I'm in a very similar situation. Got the qn93b 75" because it was cheaper than c1/c2/g1/g2. And sony a84j 55" is going to the bed room. And we are watching in a bright room which may make it better to have a bright TV. So I'm curious if you ended up keeping the Samsung or returned it?

[@silverwatchdog]

Going to do that too. I use a 48” C1 in my bedroom mainly as a monitor for my pc, and a 75” QN90B will go in the living room.

Audio sync issues with QN90B. First day, FW 1304 audio through built in speakers on all apps out of sync pass 10 minutes. Pause/play solves it for another 10 minutes. Change and reset audio to deafult, didn't solve it. Turn on the tv on the next day with no issues, but this time I plug TDT antenna and HDMI from Cable Provider. I hope it isn't related to some kind of throttling bacause of high temp in hdmi zone.

Hi Sir @stopthefomo, I am torn between 77 LG C2 vs 85 QN90B. Will be using mostly for streaming and slight gaming. No direct sunlight and not concerned about bright room as we usually watch movies at Night. I like the picture quality of the C2 but liked the addidtional 8 inches from the 85 QN90B aswell. Also I am using a samsung soundbar so Im not sure if the Q-Symphony will help me lean towards the QN90B. Burn-in also is not covered under Costo warranty in Canada so Im not sure if I need to worry about that. Thanks for the help.

Samsung QN95B I read a lot about the first three problems in European forums and even the guy from the Samsung hotline told me that these are known issues. The speakers produce terrible vibrations of the back cover, resulting in very loud disturbing noises in low frequencies. For me the sound of the TV is close to unusable. The One Connect Box produces a humming sound (even in Standby). The TV produces a high hissing sound (even in Standby). White and 10% grey is colored cyan on the boarders of the TV if the contrast is set above 40. When using a PC the TV doesn’t let me use movie mode. Blooming issue pixel Issue

[@asafblasbergvideographer]

Dolby Vision is a deal breaker. Majority of the 4K UHD Blu-ray A titles are encoded in Dolby Vision and Dolby Atmos. Dolby Vision is a standard. I understand that Sony's implementations aren't perfect, but I definitely see a difference in the shadow detail compared to regular HDR10. Samsung refuses to implement it for reasons that I don't understand. Plus, on a TV this expensive, the fact they have a Local Dimming failure is ridiculous. No way I'm buying a Samsung TV. LG or Sony. End of story.
