Samsung QN90C Review - A Good But Not Great Offering

Ғылым және технология

Get the Samsung QN90C: www.rtings.com/afflink/AbMAAJ...
The Samsung QN90C/QN90CD QLED is a high-end 4k TV released in 2023, sitting below the Samsung QN95C QLED. It replaces the Samsung QN90B QLED in Samsung's lineup, but it has more in common with the Samsung QN85B QLED. It's available in a wide range of sizes, from 43 to 85 inches, so there's something for everyone. It's powered by Samsung's Neural Quantum Processor 4k, which was first introduced in 2022 and is designed to deliver better upscaling, optimized on a scene-by-scene basis. Like other Samsung TVs, it uses Samsung's proprietary Tizen OS interface, which offers a large selection of apps and games. It's compatible with the Bixby and Alexa voice assistants, and it supports the new Matter smart home standard, so you can control all of your Matter-compatible smart devices from your TV.

    I've owned this TV for almost a year in both the 55" and 75" models and they are absolutely fantastic televisions! Videos like this are great for convincing people to buy other models instead and now they're selling super cheap. I bought a second 75" QN90C from Amazon last week for $1477... an amazing deal! Get one now while they're still in stock!

    There's a problem from my understanding, that Samsung haven't made a direct replacement. The 90C is now comparable to the 85B. The 90B (last years) is now comparable to the 95C. Due to a rebrand and something to do with the USA market. At least that's how I understand it. So the only way to compare would be in pricing not model numbers. As the 90B was more superior to the 90C as I understand it.

    I know. I think that viewing angle is severely under-valued for ratings. Just about every living room I've been in has a couch with the comfy corner seats that are outside of the Hisense's viewing angle window. I would live it if Rtings did a deep dive on what the average living room actually looks like. People probably sit off-angle way more than they think.

    Thanks! Have you ever thought about showing the differences in ... lets call it clarity? by using the simple "adjust clear type text" using a connected pc? My personal 55qn90c panel fails in all regards. It simply can´t show text (white on black + black on white) correctly. My marco pictures show orange and blue beeing lit up as well on the border between black and white. Orange on the left and blue on the right. VLC playing in native resolution has its time counter skewed wth the ":" beeing a brighter blue than black. And whatever i try to clear or smooth out: the text always looks like it needs anti aliasing. Coming from a 50qn94c, which can brilliantly be misused as a pc monitor if the desk has 40 inch depth, this .. "ads"? panel seems to be not fit for work. I´ve read your article and setting suggestions and have tried even the wrong settings (anything but 4.4.4). Could anybody kindly test this as well? And it is not only medicore in its upscaling. BG3 Charactes have less detail than on my 50qn90a: I´ve made a burly blue eyed ork with fairly visible eyelashes that look far too feminine on him. Those are simply gone in any portrait picture. And his cheek tatoo hard can be seen. I´m still testing to see what i could be doing wrong..

The older 43 inch model from 2022 did not have anti reflecting coating did they resolve that in the 2023 version? And something that the 2022 models had was that you can't fast forward on h.265 videos it can only play the video's but it can't scroll through them. Has this been fixed?

    I'll say the tv does provide a great picture. Love the brightness and color. PS5 looks great and the colors on the Nintendo Switch looks amazing. My issue is the backlight bleed. I had back light bleed. Showed a pic of it to a member of bestbuys geek squad and he said he would return it so I did. The replacement had even worse backlight bleed. You don't always see it but it's something that can worsen. I've seen other people show photos of theirs with less then mine amd complaining yet I'd settle with what they had. Guess I'll be either exchanging it again or move up to the LG C3. I got it for $600 off so I'd prefer to keep this model for that reason and it is a great tv otherwise.

Whilst it is not perfect, for me the advantages of this over the 32" 1440p monitor it replaced, far outweigh the disbenefits.

    I just setup my Samsung Q90C. Used the expert calibration. I am very picky with movies and sandy grainy issue on many movies and it depends on what I am watching. Any movies where there is a landscape scene intentional blurriness, like The Flash, there is a sandy grainy quality to the picture. The main subject comes in very clear and fine, especially video games. In one movie there was a panorama and the main subjects are walking in a valley the picture is quite grainy instead of the intended blur that you would get from looking at something from a distance. Absolutely show and plays games better than my 8 year old Samsung curved, but not movies. The old Samsung shows things in the distance with a proper blur not a grainy blur. How weird.

    Sounds like OLED is the better option if you aren't afraid of burn in. The point of Min-LED is to have better blooming control but the QN90C can't even get that right even with the better hardware therefore defeats the purpose of getting it. I have an X90L, and an OLED monitor, both are good but at night I prefer my OLED even at the smaller size, and even though the upscaling doesn't look as amazing as on the X90L. Consider what your use case is first before picking between the S90C, and the X90L.

    @@HiddenDeadX if it's like the QN90b, you will need to put the TV in the "Faster" game mode setting as "Fastest" turns off ALL the motion processing for that low input latency and it looks ROUGH. "Faster" gives you SLIGHTLY more latency but still a bit less than "Fast". For those with the QD OLED, you can put it on "Fastest" all day and it'll still be totally fine with no adverse effects.

    Stay away from Samsung. It can't detect color space automatically in HDR(bt2020, dci-p3), on PC mode you can't change any setting it locks itself to Native color space (unusable). No Hgig, local dimming algorithm is undefeatable. You can't set your console or pc HDR settings with calibration tools because of that. You need to know your panel's capabilities (which varies between models-sizes and countries wildly) to set it manually. Out of the box calibration, other than top of the top model, is miserable. Famous "radioactive green" ! The "game mode" on Samsung panels are taking the biggest hit in terms of image processing and quality downgrades. Like, local dimming almost doesn't even work. And it is like that for almost a decade. No Dolby Vision support. Just a good peak brightness and reasonable pricing in some markets. That is Samsung.

    Your comment about reflections is laughable. You turn the tv around and it blasts a mirrored, glossy reflection of the back of your room that badly obscures the image.

    I don't care for Sonys panel appearance (not necessarily the picture) appears like there is a plastic film that needs peeled off the panel. Unlike Samsung higher end models and LG G3.

    @@TimothyTurtle32 Samsung's focus isn't on QLED as much as it has been in the past. Especially with them looking into WOLED for some of the models now, it's only a matter of time until the QLEDs start getting cut back.
