Samsung QN90D Review: Superb SDR And HDR Brightness!

[@Mr921kevin]

Come on, TV experts, where's the 2024? S90C VS. the S90D comparison?

[@IntrovertAlert]

Thanks very much to Abby and the Rtings Team for this wonderful review. Could you please tell me if Rtings will be reviewing the Samsung QN900D? This seems like a unique tv to review as it appears (based on the specifications) to be the first 4K 240Hz TV. It is also interesting how it doesn’t seem to be catching the attention of gamers (also acknowledging the high price), perhaps because it is mainly advertised as an 8K TV. As a PC gamer and racing sim enthusiast I would be very interested to see a review of the Samsung QN900D.

Didn't know that about the non-DTS audio passthrough. I'll go with the Bravia 9. Thanks for providing the details that helped me make the right decision

Heads up, your site likely has inaccurate key information on this model. “The QN90D series uses 4K IPS-ADS panels for the 85", 75", 65", and 55" models, and VA panels for the 98", 50, and 43" models.” Directly from Samsung. Your site states the qn90d 65” is a VA panel.

[@born_to_play]

I see the 55'' model in person, it's VA panel

[@Voce24]

@@born_to_playThat’s great news. Saw many review sources going both directions on ADS or VA. So, I chatted with Samsung’s product support team to pull the info referenced* in my previous comment. Might pick one up if the 55” is VA.

[@RTINGSdotcom]

We bought and tested the 65" model, and validated our results to ensure accuracy. We can confirm that the unit we purchased is indeed a 65" model, though we can't speak for possible regional differences or anything like that. We have seen manufacturers provide incorrect info about panel types in the past though, which is unfortunate.

QN90D

[@mmail4700]

Bravia 7

[@joelf5565]

I went with the Bravia 7. Reasons are as follows: 1- Sony is known for better reliability. I’ve been told they use better quality internal components. 2- I wanted the ATSC 3.0 antenna tuner. 3- I find the picture quality better, although very very close. 4- I’ve heard better things about the Google OS over the Tizan OS. The reasons for the QN90D would be if you needed better viewing angles and reflection. I can’t directly compare since I don’t own the Samsung, but in my fairly bright room, although no light is directly hitting it, I don’t find the glare any worse than any other TV I owned. And the viewing angle is really not that bad in my opinion. I don’t have any wide angles in my setup, but when I step to the sides it really isn’t as bad as the reviews comment. Not TV will look ideal when over 45 degrees.

[@tomas12912]

That viewing angle is very good in comparison other miniLED TVs. I think there is not better miniLED with this.

[@Sano_veroli]

[@alexnik1181]

I have the 43 inch and the Peak Brightness setting is missing. When I compare it to my 1000 nits OLED phone, the phone feels brighter. Also, HDR calibration tools report 1450 nits with Game HDR disabled. With Game HDR enabled it's around 1000 nits. I think that some models have capped peak brightness, which is disappointing because the reason I bought it is the reported 2k nits.

[@manriprinze5187]

Hello friend, I hope you are well, I am interested in that same inch and I would like to ask a few things. Well historically the 43" and 50" models are always less bright than their larger brothers, plus the game mode is also generally less bright in general so 1500 nits is the usual for those inches. My question is, what console and what content did you use to measure those 1400 and 1000nits respectively? Did you try using the HDR Tone Mapping setting set to 'On' or 'Game HDR Advanced' on? to have brighter results? I have a 55" QN90B and in standard Game HDR, since it does not have an advanced option, it gets quite dark, but it improves by raising the ST.2084 parameter to +3. Could you try this too to see how the brightness is? I'm between This TV and the LG C4, but the latter is even less bright in HDR gaming, and I imagine that in bright games like Forza Horizon in desert or snow stages the C4 will lower the brightness even further considerably due to the aggressive APL and for that reason I think the QN90D is the best option in 43". Please tell me your experience in terms of brightness and contrast, if you enjoy the television for gaming and if you recommend it over other 43" televisions. And if the configurations that I told you improve the experience. Thank you very much my friend ☺️

[@alexnik1181]

@@manriprinze5187 I measured with Windows HDR Calibration tool. With 'Game HDR Advanced/Basic' it peaks around 1000 nits, regardless of HDR Tone Mapping setting. With 'Game HDR Off' it peaks around 1500 nits without HDR Tone Mapping and around 2100 nits with HDR Tone Mapping. Raising the ST.2084 makes the overall content brighter but does not affect the specular highlights peak brightness. I found an article that measure the peak brightness of this 43" TV to be around 1300 nits, which seems to be close to what I think. I enjoy the TV a lot, because the contrast and the brightness are amazing. There's a bit ghosting/black smearing in some scenarios, but I got used to it and don't pay any attention.

[@AlcirGomes10]

Thank You Abby! Great review as always!🤝🏼

[@RTINGSdotcom]

Thanks for watching as always! 😄🤝

[@wobble108]

Depends on the size and the country you live in. In the UK its a VA panel. Viewing angles are terrible. And its as bright as a super nova.....far too bright. Colours are off too. Its well made. Very stable. Tizen is excellent. Picture quality in a dim room is very good. Day time is washed out. You have to be sitting dead center to the panel to get the best pucture.

[@retcon1991]

Ergh, almost. I don't like the sound of the dimmed game mode or the slow dark transitions. I just want a mid range 65 inch that's 4k and 120hz for gaming. Can anyone recommend one?

I found that my Samsung winds up with oversaturated colors if I last turned it off in 4k UHD mode (watching 4k movies). If I return the tv back to a non-4k viewing mode (my Xbox) before turning it off, the color saturation switches modes and I don't have a problem the next time I turn it on.

[@rodrigoguiot]

Hello. Well, I don't know which country you are from... But here in Brazil the situation is terrible with Samsung TVs. We only have a 1 year warranty. And several people end up suffering from screen problems (Infinite Looping). The TV keeps turning on and off, with a total loss. It is a chronic defect. Durability is low. I would really like to know if this is worldwide? Is it happening where you live. Because I "suspect" that there could be lots of TVs with poor quality components coming to Brazil. We're made of idiots around here.

Would it be possible to do a video (assuming its video worth) of why some monitors will give support for higher res + higher framrate but not a lower res. In that case its 1440p@144 it can't do but it can do 4K@144, which is more bandwidth. My CF791 can do 1440p@100, but can't do 1080p@100 and instead needs to drop to 1080p@60 🤷‍♂

[@umb3rto641]

they absolutely could, 2k@120hz works for sure, Its mostly about exposing resolutions through nvidia/cru settings and using the right cables with respect to bandwidth

[@hitechmaster69]

Hi guys, do you recommend the Q90D for gaming and exceptional black compared to other 50 inch full array LCDs on the market? I would pay around €950 for this 50 inch model. But what I most I'm interested in a 50 inch with a lot of brightness and contrast with an exceptional black uniformity... Can you recommend me a full array TV with an exceptional black if better than this in all respects? Thanks! 👍🏻🔝 P.S. I would like to make the most of it with Ps5 Pro games and 4k UHD movies with HDR 10+... Thanks again....

3:54 "better than 14% of tested TVs". Wow, how can a 2024 TV be that bad? 😲😲😲

[@MattyDaddy14]

We purchased the 65QN90C last year after watching many many reviews and videos etc. when I first got it, I was blown away.. now however, after 2 not so great updates, the lack of DTS and inherent blooming not to mention the black crushing and macro blocking. (All terms I did not know prior to last year lol) have me to the point that our next tv will NOT be a Samsung!! (After being die hard Samsung tv buyers) I wanted the QSymphony feature soo badly so we got the Q990C to go with it! I do love the soundbar, but I’d do anything to trade the 65Q90C for a 75/85” Bravia 7/9 or even the 75/85” QM8! (Also have the 2023 Qm7 tcl.). I think Samsung really blew it with their Q85/90 models for 2024! I believe our Q90C is an Ads panel which I do like better than the VA version. 🎉

Według mnie Samsung kiedyś robił dobre telewizory, teraz to już parodia i same wpadki, ja wolę 10000000 razy telewizory Sony, nie mają takich problemów jak Samsung. Koniec Samsunga, to już nie ta sama marka co kiedyś

[@lawrencekhoo503]

This might be a stupid question but once we press the power button on remote, can we immediately unplug the TV? I came from a Sony TV, and the Sony TV needed us to hold the power button to shutdown the TV. This is not available for Samsung TV

@@markpolo7 Very True, Sony have always been a cut above the rest. Here in the UK they come with a Sony 5 year Warranty, and chances are you will never need it.

[@Yoga_Tv_buying]

QN90C is NOT IPS. Its ADS-PRO. D OLED has QD-OLED n WOLED. The ADS-PRO is NOT ADS/ or IPS. 😊😅 ADS PRO has--2X contrast ratio of ADS. It has Full Gloss screen. ADS-pro has 600hz screen refresh rate. N ADS- 144hz cap screen refresh rate. 180 degree visual . It looks identical to QD-OLED. I have SEEN QN90C n Hisense U8K 75” in person. Once u have seen ADS-PRO u will think VA is half tier down. Its that crazy . Its too new , being thrown around as IPS. Totally under appreciated. 😊😅 Its absolutely premium. The can NOT do ADS-PRO this year because they are SUEing the company BOE that produce that ADS-PRO screen for copy right. So ONLY Hisense can use it now for U9N , UX. 😊

[@FERKILL377]

It's the other way around... The QN90D is better than QN90C in most categories

[@Yoga_Tv_buying]

@@FERKILL377 depends. S90C is VERY dim in my opinion(for my room) . Its like iphone XS level dim. Or slightly higher by like 100nits. QN90C is like iphone 15-PRO level bright. So depends the user case. Its a toss S90C or QN90C. A 2017 iphone XS will still look Significanlty LESS clear day time comparing my 2023 Ipad-PRO with the”M2 “ chip(same M2 chip in the MAC-PRO). --that ipad is MINI LED> Day time the Dim image just looks Dull/Goo. Especailly in mid off summer. Depends where the person live n their user case. If they live in sunny stage, they have kids, home early. They work at home, they have wife home early or all day, they retired always home. The QN90C is MUCH better. Because elders go to bed early. If ppl who are single n actually renting a basement etc or watch tv mostly at night. S90C is better choice. Also Eyes has Cons--pick out Colors. 6 million cons each 👀, Rods for picking Black-white image, 120 Million rods each eye 👁️. In day time CONS operates the MOST . So the COLOR Volume n brightness matter MOST to human eyes. At night the Cons are NOT effective as RODS. So the Black/blooming are more obvious. D BEST way to watch tv is day time not too bight n have con trolled room with bright tv n --extremely high dense color tv (U8K or U8N , QN90D…) than watch tv /play video game in Pitch Black. In pitch black the eyes that sensitive to black n white are more dominant. The cons that can pick out color are like secondary. Yeah S90C n QN90D can be BETTER/Worse depends WHAT type of content watching in What environment n what time of day/room. :P 🤟🏻🫶🏻👀 Science ….I PHD professor actual research Scientist taught us in Toronto canada 🇨🇦 Hisense U8N will look SIGNIFICANTLY better than G3 G4. 3.5X times DENSE color Volume over bright image.

[@Evaquiel]

thank you Hisense. its a shame you're not on Brazil. We have to pay premium to get a somewhat decent TV or get the best.

[@Yoga_Tv_buying]

They dont sell in Brazil ???? Maybe there is restrictions of HIGH import tax from Mexico? I am in Canada, I have to pay 1.5X of Americans. Ppl in EU have to pay 2-2.3X of Americans for Hisense its crazy.

[@marcofabiocarosi2996]

This to is just great, the HisenseU8N is overly hyped. A quick reality check in a store will make you realise that both the Bravia 7 and the U8N are subpar in built and performance.
