Hey everyone! Color me baffled! With up to date firmware, the backlight system was doing just fine and blooming was … well, it was there, but not as bad as I was expecting based on some of the horror tales I’ve heard told. Granted, I WAS at Samsung. So we will see what’s up once one does get sent out. I did get some really funky readings, though. And THAT will be getting its own video soon. Be well everyone!
Caleb, I think this is another example of why you guys really need to start buying TVs from retailers, instead of waiting for manufacturers to send you stuff or fly you around. Besides, it takes away any perceived issue with saying nice things or getting hand-picked samples.
So my qn90b is on firmware update 12.11 any word on backlight issue with this update. To my eye it's seems fine but I always want better. I do feel the TV preformed a little better when I first got it 3 months ago. Thanks love what you do!
Interesting you only got 1200 nits. Was that at D65 or default white point? Either way sounds like a dud panel. Rtings and I got over 2000 OOTB, and while rtings doesn't measure post calibration, at D65 on the one I did was 1700. Also, 144hz is sadly only on the 43in and 50in models.
@@sunshinecycling If it is not effected by the local dimming bug, then mostly yes (brightness is more or less equal on them, around 1600-1700nits). But right now the local dimming bug issue is too wide spread. The ones affected by the bug will have poor blooming control.
Always appreciate your fair and balanced approach with your review process. Most people will be completely happy with most of the tvs on the market right now. Even last years models would be acceptable to most people. There is a small subset of consumers chasing after that perfect tv that just does not exist. There are only imperfect options that fit different potential buyers for different reasons.
Bullshit LOL I had a $7000 2012 Samsung 4K curve, LITERALLY no DSE or banding, no color banding deep blacks and no shitty software, THEY JUST DONT CARE ANYMORE.

@@corkcitytalent not the same panel, the smaller ones use VA, the bigger sizes use Ads panels. The bigger ones are much brighter as well and handle reflects much better.
I just bought a QN85B and I am very happy with it. I wish Caleb would review the same. Would like to see his opinion about it and compare it with the QN90B.
It’s $400 less in Costco and the only 2 significant changes I see is the OTS+ in 90B VS 85B’s OTS and the something that is 32 vs 24.. if I have a Soundbar and want to just watch movies and tv shows, will it make any difference?!?
The QN90B is a very good TV so far. Bright as hell. Blooming is so minimal that at times it comes pretty close to OLED. The black level is beautiful and deep black. Don't be fooled, this one really comes close to OLED! The sound of the TV itself is very good for a reasonably flat TV. Dolby Atmos is great. Convenient Home menu with clear place for your favorite apps. It all works intuitively and quite smoothly. The Tv comes with a very handy and light remote that charges itself with a solar cell or via usb c. So no more searching for batteries. The build quality is very good as we have come to expect from Samsung. Finally the central support is back.... A very heavy solid metal support. In short...here a very satisfied Samsung QE65QN90B user. 😉
Hey will this have better picture than our 2 or 3 year old q80r? In particular im wondering if it will look a hair better when watching cable tv. Oir cable box picture is not bad but not good was hoping this tv will bring it up a hair.
very close to OLED minus burn in and minus ABL, how can reviewers keep saying that OLED is better when it's such a flawed technology I don't understand
@Dario Mladenovski Yeah, I feel like the mainstream TV community is very biased and they make it sound like OLED is the end all be all. So after owning an LG CX for several years and being quite disappointed with its picture and motion I bought an LG C2 to see if anything had improved. Well, it hadn't really improved in the areas I care about, so I sent it back. I considered mini-LED TVs, but you hear so much negativity and talk of problems with blooming and dirty screen effect. This made me avoid them for a while. I thought, "well, if OLED really is the best modern display technology and I don't like the picture and motion it offers I guess I'm just going to stay with my plasmas (and CX OLED)". But I decided to take a chance on the QN90B and I'm really glad I did. It has been a massive, pleasant surprise. I like it so much more than my CX. Blacks are practically the same, except it handles near black shades much better, and the colors and motion are far better.
Great review! But I don’t understand how Rtings got 2100 nits and you’re only getting 1200. Rtings tested their TV in movie mode so maybe that’s.the difference? I have a Sony 930e and it could hit around 1500 nits peak and my qn90b is noticeably brighter so 1200 nits seems really low. The 2100 nits Rtings got seems correct to me based on my experience with it vs my Sony. The qn90b can get super bright.
Smart choice 👍 Get the other when price drop and you sit with 2 TVs for same price as one so to speak. ☺️ Unless you are a gamer you don’t need the 90/95B neither really
@@secondopinion89 Best gaming experience really on any tv on market but some seldom/rare games it’s a white flash, but guess sometimes game related as I seen same on QN95a/b but been improved though. All in all a great tv, but like I said before if the QN95B felt like a monitor like this I would gone for that. It’s hard to go any other way because of this aspect but picture quality is on top too, though I feel qled is very close, both got their advantages but it’s hard go back even if I feel safer and almost as good without burn in issues. So all in all right now I think it’s great but advice would not push over 2200 for 65”, it’s new tech and best for gaming but it’s some unknown, here we don’t get burn in warranty which I would recommend if you can get it. Bright side no reflection issues (way better then most so don’t get how people measure this), it’s very bright and first tv since old days that’s clean. I’m pleased with it but had frustrations through firmwares but I see imo improvements and ootb just as good as Sony almost on newer firmware so it don’t need to be a hassle for the average person, because it has been a work with months but I think it’s getting close where it should be. So no regrets here, really only QN90/95B that could make me rethink but I haven’t tried U8H. Sony too heavily priced but also a good option but can’t justify price. So right now everything is plotted in and looks better then any tv in most games, I love the movie and serie watching too, great quality from hd and up upwards which is most important nowadays. Edit; I use S95b
Definitely looking forward to comparisons. I was impressed with the X95K in the store (first time I've said that in years about a 4k Sony LED TV). X95k vs QN90B; QN900B vs Z9K; S95B vs A95K. All good bets.
The qn90b has awful image quality/upscaling in game mode, especially with below 4k content. Its that bad that my budget 10 yr old 1080p jvc tv has a sharper image than the samsung
Just got the 43 in model over the weekend to use primarily as a monitor and I love everything except for the UI, the remote doesn't have a input source button and to get to the inputs in the UI is soo many clicks , it's trying to be a bit to smart for it's own good and to get everything set up in game mode is also a bit of a pain. Having said all that I love it; I've got 4k 144hz, HDR, Freesync (VRR) and local dimming running beautifully.
@@brettfalkiner9800 great man enjoy! Since I posted my comment Samsung has updated the TV twice, it's gotten brighter, they've adjusted the contrast ratios I think (it's hard to tell because the update notes aren't easily available here in AU if anyone knows where to get them let me know) and the UI is a little less buggy but still not great but the good news is they keep making improvements, very happy with it.
so which is better for gaming this or the Sony X90k which will hold 4k at 120 fps the best? And which will be better visually for gaming? any help will be greatly appreciated :D
Which one is most value for watching football/soccer and netflix, no gaming? Bright room in the summer. 75" QN90b 2500€ 75" QN85A 1800€ 75" QN85B 2000€ Is it worth paying €700 more for the QN90B than the QN85A?
@DigitalTrends Do you have a video where you rate Samsung TVS? It’s a little overwhelming there is Q60B, Q70A, Q80B. I don’t understand how the difference in these specs impact the watchers viewing experience! I just need advise on finding a budget friendly (under $1k, planning on buying additional sound bar) Samsung TV that’s good for MOVIES! I was thinking about the 60B but I read it’s better for “casual movie watchers” and the color is off when sitting at an angle. Please advise! Def don’t have Neo $.
I'm going to go for QD-OLED this time. I have no need for anything larger than 55" so I'm totally fine with paying a little extra given it's not all that big of a difference in this size range. Still waiting for the proper S95B vs A95K comparison reviews no matter what anyone says. It's my money and I am only purchasing it for myself. Go do your own thing...
Thank you for your review, it is very interesting. I wanted to know if you are also planning to review the QN95B as it is being available in the US as well.
3:50 that is not "peak" brightness though. That was SUSTAINED you were talking about. A gazillion people with the tools have measured it and gotten "peak" (not sustained) meaning it falls off after a few seconds, at 1800nits. Even higher in the more dynamic settings and using all the light cranking stuff. I don't see how the TV is only 1200 nits sustained though. That is basically 150 nits away from S95B and G2. Yet 150 Nits is barely noticeable, but the TV is clearly brighter than both of them..
How do you feel about a 43" Q90B being used as a PC Gaming/Console Gaming/Desktop Use TV? Currently I'm using a Sony 43" X85K as a monitor for desktop and pc/console gaming and its fine but I hate only 2 ports are 120hz and that it doesn't support 1440 @ 120hz.
Great review. I have a question, is it worth getting the QN90B over the QN90A? There is a slight difference in better performance on the B but I don't think its enough to discount the A. Let me know your thoughts if you can. Thanks.
I go for Qn90, i have a cx oled no issues great for gaming but qn90 is more colorful more shadow details and brightness, but if u like oled go ahead any of them is excellent tv.i got my qn90a in costco last nov 65inch for only $700, Qn90a a bit brighter than 90b but 90b got 4x hdmi 2.1 and better details.
At this point I'd like to see a comparison between the Qn90B, the QN900B and the G2. Especially the last two TV's in 77". Too bad they didn't make a 77" QD OLED.
Great review! I am seeing this TV for around $800 in some areas near me for the 55’. Do you think that is a good price even after being out a year? Or should I go for something different? Thanks!
I've seen nearly the same pricing really. Amazon has a brand new 55" qn90b tvs for $977 im Considering either this tv or a 2023 TCL 65" QM8 for $999...or maybe even the 24 QM8 for $1499 this would be my upgrade to my current 55" qn90a
Hi Caleb, love your videos. I picked up the qn90b 85" and wanted to ask you what is tge optimal picture settings for sports and movie watching? I have it paired with the 930b soundbar. Thanks for all you di.
I hated Tizen on the Q90T, but I love that they are adding new features like that auto calibrate option. My Tizen experience was marred though as it came corrupted and took me forever to fix, I also didn't like the layout or how you navigate the options. I ended up just hooking up a Android TV dongle and used that for most of my streaming content. Eventually I got a Sony A8H and I love that tv. Now I will say that Tizen looked good, but I felt it wasn't as functional as I would have liked and it was like I kept tripping over myself trying to figure out its' hurdles as it wasn't as intuitive as it could have been.
Thanks for this review Caleb and all of your others too. I really appreciate your unbiased approach and calling it as you see it. Also pointing out what not too obsess over! I'd love to see a review of the QN95B. I like the One Connect box and wonder if that TV is as good as the 8K models on some of the points of importance to me, ie. blooming and color management. It also appears to have a similar speaker system to the 8K models.
Specs look identical. Only difference is resolution which is pointless when nothing streams in 8k anyway. Also twice the power consumption for an 8k tv.
I always feel like the "poor relation" in these TV review videos! I have a 50" MORESENSE U7QFTUK ULED. After some careful tweaking, picture and sound are excellent for the low price point! There is stutter, but I rarely notice it any more, and it's not a problem.
Caleb great videos as always I bought this tv and was wondering really what is the best setting for my tv it’s right in front of window I have home built back in 52… I’m using intelligent mode now and picture seems fine but in some scenes it is off? Any ideas thank you
Spread the word, SAMSUNG broke Bluetooth on almost all their TVs recently with their last firmware update (QN90A 2001 was perfect, 2111 broken). Causes the Sony XM5, and possibly other Sony products to buzz them crash or disconnect.
can you please review QN95B vs G2 , no one in youtube has done it till now, plus everyone is reviewing only the QN90A/B, and there is also comparison like Q80B vs C2 , something like that . thanks
I got this TV for a PC screen to avoid burn in and it's great, blacks are excellent, overall it looks better than my LG C8 OLED TV because it's like 1000 nits brighter. My new Aero 15 OLED laptop is no match for the QN90B. Mini LED technology is so good, 99% of the time blacks look like OLED.
@@PcGamingForFun I have anti blur / anti judder up full and it works great. The latest Samsung and LG processors seem to do motion just as good as the Sony XR chips.
Considering buying the 50" qn90b as it is on sale for 999 dollars in Norway. Can someone tell me if the 50" model performs any different than the 55" and the 65" models? Is it a reason that only the 43" and 50" have dropped heavily in price?
Personalmente, ho acquistato quindici giorni fa il qn90b da 50"....ti posso garantire che, è un televisore eccellente e se lo regoli bene ti rende immagini paragonabili ad un oled......posizionalo in modalità filmaker.....calore colore 1 ed inserisci il dolby atmos......la modalità filmaker, ti esclude automaticamente tutte le altre regolazioni, non servono ....credimi.... avrai dei neri, incredibilmente profondi ed una naturalezza di colori disarmante, con una notevole profondità delle immagini....la luminosità, non sconfina mai nel fluorescente ed in più, non rischi di bruciare i pixel....altro che oled .....Samsung, con questo prodotto, ha insegnato a tutti come si costruiscono i televisori......
Good day Simen....Personally, I bought the 50" qn90b a fortnight ago....I can assure you that it's an excellent TV and if you adjust it well, it gives you images comparable to an OLED...position it in filmaker mode... ..heat color 1 and enter the dolby atmos......the filmmaker mode, it automatically excludes all the other adjustments, they are useless ....believe me.... you will have incredibly deep blacks and natural colors disarming, with a remarkable depth of the images .... the brightness never borders on the fluorescent and moreover, you do not risk burning the pixels .... other than oled ..... Samsung, with this product, has taught everyone, how televisions are built....Merry Christmas and Happy New Year....
@@enricoguasta2843 Good day, and thank you good sir. I bought the tv couple days ago and im very happy about it. Can I ask what gamme you use? BT.1886 or 2.2? Happy christmas and good new year
Personally I prefer RGB 2.2 .... very balanced and real image, moreover you never stress the pixels .... filmmaker mode takes you out of low energy consumption mode, the TV must have electricity to increase its capacity .. .. there is no quality with energy saving..... hello Simen
Good review... I just hung the qn900b 85" on my wall yesterday. After all of the noise I'm still a bit scared to update. I agree about the UI situation, with Samsung it's awful. After 5+ years my Harmony One and hub are still critical pieces of my setup especially since I use dongles for my streaming and an A2A receiver for sound.
Thanks for the video. I am curious are the 4- hdmi 2.1 the full 48 gig bandwidth and if so are their any limits on hdmi 2.1 ports. I was reading else where that manufactures can say the unit has hdmi 2.1 but may not support all the features of hdmi 2.1. What do you know about that? Thanks again
I just got a QN90A and I’m having trouble with the sound cutting out when using my Apple TV. I have to close the app and restart and that has been fixing it so far. My firmware is up to date, and I have tried a couple different HDMI cable’s. Any suggestions??
I wish that mid and high end tvs eliminated sound all together. Kinda pointless when sound bars are so much better. Keep sound to the lower budget models
@@digitalassetdude - My man, i Got myself the QN95B, and i dont regret it one second. A beautiful tv. . Only downside would be that it goes automatically on the Samsung/rakuten tv app when i turn on the tv. But overall very good. I bought it calibrated and it did an insane job removing all the wrong colors from the tv.
the brightness blows me away, maybe they updated it in firmware. Bought it yesterday firmware 1430. Just trying to figure out how to use the auto calibration app in the PC mode.
It's only better if you have a lot of light where the TV is going to go, like me. It's also better because it's cheaper and it's not that cheap. I just bought a 75" and it cost me $2,850 after tax. It's going to replace my 65" Sony Bravia, which will now go in the kitchen.
Don't touch!! Got a 65" qn90b and the picture is amazing. HDR is the best. But mine has a burbling sound coming from it that turns to a buzz when bright images are on screen. IE, it seems to be related to power draw as it happens when volume is muted. It's quite audible when sound is low like in morning when I'm up first in the house. After weeks of being asked to email various videos and audio files to Samsung they turned round and said it was within the design parameters if the appliance. Bullshit, I've had Samsung and Sony TV's for years without any issues. Samsung's may be a bit cheaper than other premium brands but they're rubbish, and their after sales service is shocking. I'll never buy another Samsung product again and won't be getting the s23 ultra I'd planned to. Had to get that off my chest I feel cheated!
I don't think "EVERYTHING IS FINE NOW".... Thinking since backlight bug is happening with multiple firmware versions, I'm hoping Costco carries the 85QN95B although they probably use the same chipset. At least they have a 90 day return policy and include 5 year warranty in price and different manufacturing since chipset is in one connect box... or the QN90A... hmmmm... $5500 or $2500. sidenote: does QN90A allow dynamic HDR on HDMI 1&2. Sound&Vision review says it does.
Is there any reason to buy a Q90a since its a lot cheaper right now like $1,200 for a 65 inch or just go and get the Qn90b 65 inch for about $1,600......
Hey Caleb, Can you do a comparison video of Sony's trilumious pro vs qled in other brands? People keep saying trilumious blue filter is similar to white light qled filter, if its true then isn't it justified to pay for Sony Tax??
How do I get the QN90B home screen to look like the QN90A? So much better than the current layout which takes up the whole screen! I can't watch TV and browse the apps and configs at the same time, it's stupid!
So the blooming and black levels are bad on this tv, or good? I currently have an s95b and I am stuck! Should I keep the OLED or switch to QN90b? I want a brighter screen but not at the expense of noticeably worse black levels, blooming, etc…
No so blooming like the past and nearly perfect black levels witn no black crush even on the games, one step lower than an oled tv ,so if you want it only for movies in a black room with low light take better an oled but u pay more and will not be so bride as the qn90b, this tv is for every user scenery ,ill buy it soon
Showing things is always better than just talking about them. The crucial, questionable topics (motion, gaming) should be shown, not just discussed. Talking doesn't help much, talking is subjective while actually showing how it performs is the only reliable source of the truth.
2 questions. Just so I can have something to compare it to in brightness since the qn95b isn't available here yet. Would you say that the qn95b is similar in brightness to the qn90b or last years model?? 2nd question. Is image quality better the smaller the display is? I've heard that said. If that's true is 55 inch better in image quality than 65 inch? It's kind of important because I'm most likely making a purchase today. I'm most likely going s95b. Are colors more vibrant on S95b then the qn95b
My q90b is hitting over 1800 nits in the 10% window. Over 1500 out to the 50% window. I’ve yet to calibrate it because it’s only got around 100 hours on it but it’s an absolute flagship quality panel. Local dimming is fantastic even in game mode and blacks are super inky. It’s probably safe to say it’s one of the best led TVs ever made and easily the best this year. Who’s gonna make a better one?
@@curtk8130 Right, but did it come with 1211, which has been shown to be problematic? Trying to see what firmware the TVs are shipping with. I am in the market for either QN90B or the 95B, depending on if there is a major difference between the image quality.
@@eee2115 I honestly don’t remember the firmware the tv ships with. I do know it did have to update so if 1211 is the newest update then the tv did not ship with it. Honestly I haven’t had any issues with it but I’ve just mainly used the tv for gaming and I have streamed a few movies. Really the only complaint I have with it is I don’t care for the new version of tizen. Seems like getting to the tv settings takes a step or two too many. It’s a minor complaint I know. What kind of issues have you heard about? As for choosing between the q90 and the qd oled I went with the the qled for a few reasons. One the tv is in a bright room and the qled is just better suited for the room do to being brighter and the s95b having lifted blacks in a room with lots of light. Plus the s95 is first gen tech and I’ve been burned in the past being an early adopter. The tech will have growing pains and I’m not paying a premium to be a tester. I’m sure either would be great but I went with the safer bet and I can tell you it’s a very nice tv.
The 4 HDMI 2.1 inputs on the QN90B should have be en on the QN90T and the QN90A. I won't buy the QN90B now that we have the QN95B here in the USA and is the true Flagship 4k Neo QLED in Samsung 's lineup for 2022.
I see what you mean, but even as a guy who wants top PQ in a Non-OLED TV, for my situation, and had enough cash saved for an 85" QN95B, I still went ahead yesterday with ordering an 85" QN90B. Because several people who attended the 2022 Value Electronics Flat Panel Shootout, back in July (who also run UA-cam channels that review TVs) were very disappointed with the performance that Samsung's 65" QN95B displayed at that competition, since they had expected the 95B to at least show a small PQ improvement over the 90B, a TV they all have rated quite highly. But despite careful tweaking of the QN95B by the Samsung technicians who were there at the shootout, though the QN90B, itself, was not included in the competition, those UA-cam reviewers who know it very well, said that it's more expensive sibling, the QN95B, was unable to display picture quality that looked even a bit better than the PQ that they've gotten out of the QN90B. So their advice is, unless someone needs the One Connect box that's included with the 95B, or its slightly improved sound compared to the 90B, potential buyers would be wasting their money if expecting to get improved picture quality compared to the 90B. And I can believe that's true since people who have digital memberships with Consumer Reports, like me, have access to CR's extensive ratings of TVs (including over 3 dozen test reports for 2022 & 2021 models of 65" TVs) which gave the 65" QN90B an overall rating of 84, which was the highest among Non-OLED TVs (the Sony X-95K mini-LED 65" model scored 78) and even the top scoring OLED, Samsung's S95B, just scored 86.
@@mrb0775 about makes me feel like starting my own company and making tvs LOL I’d make sure not a single drop of DSE or banding was there…for EVERY panel. Probably cost $4000 for the tv but heck with what Sony and Samsung are giving I would storm the market
I was considering using the 43" version of this tv as a computer monitor. I have heard that the gaming experience on the 43" version is not that great. People in forums say that there's quite a bit of ghosting in dark scenes. That's a big disappointment. So far I haven't found any display that comes close to OLED for PC use but I'm hesitant to go with OLED for a monitor because of burn in.
@@ronniekregar3482 they both have benefits and you can't lose with either, it depends on your use case. If the environment is dark go OLED if it's bright go mini LED.
I don't know about the 43 inch version, but I do have the 50 inch version and I've seen no issues with ghosting or black smearing. I actually like the QN90B much better than my LG CX. Colors are much closer to my plasmas than any modern display I've seen. I love the rich, thick, but still natural looking colors of plasmas and this QN90B is very similar. And motion is also more plasma-like since it uses pulse width modulation. The movement is clearer and more alive feeling than the motion on the OLEDs. Especially if you use black frame insertion, which by the way is excellent on this TV. The picture is still bright and colorful while using black frame insertion, whereas on the CX it is incredibly dim and dull looking.

Blooming is so minimal that at times it comes pretty close to OLED. The black level is beautiful and deep black. Don't be fooled, this one really comes close to OLED!
The sound of the TV itself is very good for a reasonably flat TV. Dolby Atmos is great.
Convenient Home menu with clear place for your favorite apps. It all works intuitively and quite smoothly.
The Tv comes with a very handy and light remote that charges itself with a solar cell or via usb c. So no more searching for batteries.
The build quality is very good as we have come to expect from Samsung. Finally the central support is back.... A very heavy solid metal support.
In short...here a very satisfied Samsung QE65QN90B user. 😉
Hey will this have better picture than our 2 or 3 year old q80r? In particular im wondering if it will look a hair better when watching cable tv. Oir cable box picture is not bad but not good was hoping this tv will bring it up a hair.
very close to OLED minus burn in and minus ABL, how can reviewers keep saying that OLED is better when it's such a flawed technology I don't understand
@@dariomladenovski7047 rtings keeps telling me the qn90b has abl. don't know why
@Dario Mladenovski
Yeah, I feel like the mainstream TV community is very biased and they make it sound like OLED is the end all be all. So after owning an LG CX for several years and being quite disappointed with its picture and motion I bought an LG C2 to see if anything had improved. Well, it hadn't really improved in the areas I care about, so I sent it back. I considered mini-LED TVs, but you hear so much negativity and talk of problems with blooming and dirty screen effect. This made me avoid them for a while. I thought, "well, if OLED really is the best modern display technology and I don't like the picture and motion it offers I guess I'm just going to stay with my plasmas (and CX OLED)".
But I decided to take a chance on the QN90B and I'm really glad I did. It has been a massive, pleasant surprise. I like it so much more than my CX. Blacks are practically the same, except it handles near black shades much better, and the colors and motion are far better.
@@cyberedge881 Any issues with the rainbow effect or with VRR local dimming?
Great review! But I don’t understand how Rtings got 2100 nits and you’re only getting 1200. Rtings tested their TV in movie mode so maybe that’s.the difference? I have a Sony 930e and it could hit around 1500 nits peak and my qn90b is noticeably brighter so 1200 nits seems really low. The 2100 nits Rtings got seems correct to me based on my experience with it vs my Sony. The qn90b can get super bright.
@telegram me 👉@officialDigitalTrends real brightness was 1200nits on rtings
Thanks for your video, Caleb!
If you want make a fair 4k mini-LED LCD Flagship comparison later on; do a Sony X95K vs Samsung QN95B (not QN90B).
Thanks Caleb for the review looking forward to your thoughts on the QN 900B.
I considered picking this TV up but found a great sale for a 65’’ QN90A for Memorial Day weekend. I’ve been happy with the purchase
Smart choice 👍 Get the other when price drop and you sit with 2 TVs for same price as one so to speak. ☺️
Unless you are a gamer you don’t need the 90/95B neither really
How is your gaming experience
@@secondopinion89 Best gaming experience really on any tv on market but some seldom/rare games it’s a white flash, but guess sometimes game related as I seen same on QN95a/b but been improved though.
All in all a great tv, but like I said before if the QN95B felt like a monitor like this I would gone for that.
It’s hard to go any other way because of this aspect but picture quality is on top too, though I feel qled is very close, both got their advantages but it’s hard go back even if I feel safer and almost as good without burn in issues.
So all in all right now I think it’s great but advice would not push over 2200 for 65”, it’s new tech and best for gaming but it’s some unknown, here we don’t get burn in warranty which I would recommend if you can get it.
Bright side no reflection issues (way better then most so don’t get how people measure this), it’s very bright and first tv since old days that’s clean.
I’m pleased with it but had frustrations through firmwares but I see imo improvements and ootb just as good as Sony almost on newer firmware so it don’t need to be a hassle for the average person, because it has been a work with months but I think it’s getting close where it should be.
So no regrets here, really only QN90/95B that could make me rethink but I haven’t tried U8H.
Sony too heavily priced but also a good option but can’t justify price.
So right now everything is plotted in and looks better then any tv in most games, I love the movie and serie watching too, great quality from hd and up upwards which is most important nowadays.
Edit; I use S95b
@@TVNorway thanks for taking the time for that helpful reply. Cheers.
@@secondopinion89 your welcome 😉☺️
My favorite TV guy, Caleb!
Definitely looking forward to comparison between QN90B and Sony A90J.
Sure
Definitely looking forward to comparisons. I was impressed with the X95K in the store (first time I've said that in years about a 4k Sony LED TV). X95k vs QN90B; QN900B vs Z9K; S95B vs A95K. All good bets.
Since Z9F?
The qn90b has awful image quality/upscaling in game mode, especially with below 4k content. Its that bad that my budget 10 yr old 1080p jvc tv has a sharper image than the samsung
Thanks Caleb. Excellent review. Very much looking forward to your QN900B review! 👍👍
next up QN85B. im so excited to see what Samsung improved in they're ads version of mini led
Just got the 43 in model over the weekend to use primarily as a monitor and I love everything except for the UI, the remote doesn't have a input source button and to get to the inputs in the UI is soo many clicks , it's trying to be a bit to smart for it's own good and to get everything set up in game mode is also a bit of a pain. Having said all that I love it; I've got 4k 144hz, HDR, Freesync (VRR) and local dimming running beautifully.
I just got mine for a pc monitor runs like a dream so smooth colours look top notch and 144hZ in gaming 👌
@@brettfalkiner9800 great man enjoy! Since I posted my comment Samsung has updated the TV twice, it's gotten brighter, they've adjusted the contrast ratios I think (it's hard to tell because the update notes aren't easily available here in AU if anyone knows where to get them let me know) and the UI is a little less buggy but still not great but the good news is they keep making improvements, very happy with it.
Hows text readability ?
Can't wait for the comparison... are we there yet
so which is better for gaming this or the Sony X90k which will hold 4k at 120 fps the best? And which will be better visually for gaming? any help will be greatly appreciated :D
i hope the next gen has the "infinity screen" and improved mini-led backlighting the 8k version has!
comparation with X95K should be great , thank you
Appreciate all the great work, Caleb! Safe travels!
Hi I was just wondering if you would still recommend the Q90B with the update issues they are having? This tv is on my list for superbowl time. Thanks
Can you do a video on the whole "calibrate your Samsung tv using a Samsung Galaxy phone" thing and how viable it is?
I agree so much with the Samsung menu system.
Which one is most value for watching football/soccer and netflix, no gaming? Bright room in the summer.
75" QN90b 2500€
75" QN85A 1800€
75" QN85B 2000€
Is it worth paying €700 more for the QN90B than the QN85A?
@DigitalTrends Do you have a video where you rate Samsung TVS?
It’s a little overwhelming there is Q60B, Q70A, Q80B. I don’t understand how the difference in these specs impact the watchers viewing experience!
I just need advise on finding a budget friendly (under $1k, planning on buying additional sound bar) Samsung TV that’s good for MOVIES!
I was thinking about the 60B but I read it’s better for “casual movie watchers” and the color is off when sitting at an angle.
Please advise! Def don’t have Neo $.
I'm going to go for QD-OLED this time. I have no need for anything larger than 55" so I'm totally fine with paying a little extra given it's not all that big of a difference in this size range.
Still waiting for the proper S95B vs A95K comparison reviews no matter what anyone says. It's my money and I am only purchasing it for myself. Go do your own thing...
Great to hear a rare breed of people who still see how sufficient a 55” is.
Stick with a QDOled display
A95K design is far better. S95B looks cheap with that mount! A95K shows premium feel but it's expensive almost double the price!
@@HD13POWER except that the stand makes the tv tilt Backwards. The Samsung Center mount stand makes way for a Soundbar.
@@HD13POWER insert versa wall mount here, problem solved.
Thank you for your review, it is very interesting. I wanted to know if you are also planning to review the QN95B as it is being available in the US as well.
Hello, and thanks for the video review. Since this review was done a year ago, has Samsung launched its gaming platform since this video was made?
Rtings measured the peak brightness at 2000cd for 10% window, but in this video he says 1200cd. So which one is it?
3:50 that is not "peak" brightness though. That was SUSTAINED you were talking about. A gazillion people with the tools have measured it and gotten "peak" (not sustained) meaning it falls off after a few seconds, at 1800nits. Even higher in the more dynamic settings and using all the light cranking stuff.
I don't see how the TV is only 1200 nits sustained though. That is basically 150 nits away from S95B and G2. Yet 150 Nits is barely noticeable, but the TV is clearly brighter than both of them..
QN95B is around 1700nits calibrated
Need to see a comparison of the 90B and 95B and 900B.. Need to see how they all handle blooming and black level and brightness etc.
How do you feel about a 43" Q90B being used as a PC Gaming/Console Gaming/Desktop Use TV? Currently I'm using a Sony 43" X85K as a monitor for desktop and pc/console gaming and its fine but I hate only 2 ports are 120hz and that it doesn't support 1440 @ 120hz.
Great review. I have a question, is it worth getting the QN90B over the QN90A? There is a slight difference in better performance on the B but I don't think its enough to discount the A. Let me know your thoughts if you can. Thanks.
I go for Qn90, i have a cx oled no issues great for gaming but qn90 is more colorful more shadow details and brightness, but if u like oled go ahead any of them is excellent tv.i got my qn90a in costco last nov 65inch for only $700, Qn90a a bit brighter than 90b but 90b got 4x hdmi 2.1 and better details.
At this point I'd like to see a comparison between the Qn90B, the QN900B and the G2. Especially the last two TV's in 77". Too bad they didn't make a 77" QD OLED.
Great review!
I am seeing this TV for around $800 in some areas near me for the 55’.
Do you think that is a good price even after being out a year?
Or should I go for something different?
Thanks!
I've seen nearly the same pricing really. Amazon has a brand new 55" qn90b tvs for $977 im Considering either this tv or a 2023 TCL 65" QM8 for $999...or maybe even the 24 QM8 for $1499 this would be my upgrade to my current 55" qn90a
Hi Caleb, love your videos. I picked up the qn90b 85" and wanted to ask you what is tge optimal picture settings for sports and movie watching? I have it paired with the 930b soundbar. Thanks for all you di.
I hated Tizen on the Q90T, but I love that they are adding new features like that auto calibrate option. My Tizen experience was marred though as it came corrupted and took me forever to fix, I also didn't like the layout or how you navigate the options. I ended up just hooking up a Android TV dongle and used that for most of my streaming content. Eventually I got a Sony A8H and I love that tv. Now I will say that Tizen looked good, but I felt it wasn't as functional as I would have liked and it was like I kept tripping over myself trying to figure out its' hurdles as it wasn't as intuitive as it could have been.
for strictly gaming (PS5/Xbox X/PC) this or QN85B? or something else? 55"
Thanks for this review Caleb and all of your others too. I really appreciate your unbiased approach and calling it as you see it. Also pointing out what not too obsess over!
I'd love to see a review of the QN95B. I like the One Connect box and wonder if that TV is as good as the 8K models on some of the points of importance to me, ie. blooming and color management. It also appears to have a similar speaker system to the 8K models.
Specs look identical. Only difference is resolution which is pointless when nothing streams in 8k anyway. Also twice the power consumption for an 8k tv.
Nice review! One question
Is it flicker free/flickerless?
No. Thank god. I hate sample and hold displays. The motion is much better on this QN90B.
Hey Caleb, I've got a Samsung q90r 65inch, is the picture quality better on this newer one or should I not upgrade just yet?
I always feel like the "poor relation" in these TV review videos! I have a 50" MORESENSE U7QFTUK ULED. After some careful tweaking, picture and sound are excellent for the low price point! There is stutter, but I rarely notice it any more, and it's not a problem.
Caleb great videos as always I bought this tv and was wondering really what is the best setting for my tv it’s right in front of window I have home built back in 52… I’m using intelligent mode now and picture seems fine but in some scenes it is off? Any ideas thank you
Order the 43 it's perfect for me !
Hope I'm not disappointed. I just purchased the S95B. It comes this coming week.
The S95B is really good
how is your experience with s95b ? are u satisfied ?
Spread the word, SAMSUNG broke Bluetooth on almost all their TVs recently with their last firmware update (QN90A 2001 was perfect, 2111 broken). Causes the Sony XM5, and possibly other Sony products to buzz them crash or disconnect.
I have the same issue with XM5's with this tv. They were working fine one-day poof. However my Bose work fine which are bit older.
Playing the panel lottery makes me nervous as heck....and at the same price I'm liking the Sony A80K Oled.
Are you going to review the flagship Samsung 4K - the QN95B...?
I just got this TV at a massive discount but the UI is SLOOOOOOOW
I would like to ask what's the quality of the picture when you watch something only on HD not in 4K???
Awful in game mode, good enough with sd dvds etc. Sonys usually have better upscaling all round
Thanks for the video
still waiting for you're LG G2 review and A80K ?
A80K. better upsampling and faster cpu for tv menu.
I just ordered an 85 from Amazon to go with my new Xbox X, can't wait for it to get here.
can you please review QN95B vs G2 , no one in youtube has done it till now, plus everyone is reviewing only the QN90A/B, and there is also comparison like Q80B vs C2 , something like that . thanks
I have a Q90t, should I get this? Is it worth the upgrade?
I got this TV for a PC screen to avoid burn in and it's great, blacks are excellent, overall it looks better than my LG C8 OLED TV because it's like 1000 nits brighter. My new Aero 15 OLED laptop is no match for the QN90B. Mini LED technology is so good, 99% of the time blacks look like OLED.
how is motion handling and motion blur when panning? any ghosting?
@@PcGamingForFun I have anti blur / anti judder up full and it works great. The latest Samsung and LG processors seem to do motion just as good as the Sony XR chips.
Wait for the QN95B and review it, also compare with x95k!!
I have x95k, it’s ok definitely not worth 3k, black levels could have been allot better, DSE is there but less then x95j at least
Considering buying the 50" qn90b as it is on sale for 999 dollars in Norway. Can someone tell me if the 50" model performs any different than the 55" and the 65" models? Is it a reason that only the 43" and 50" have dropped heavily in price?

Good review... I just hung the qn900b 85" on my wall yesterday. After all of the noise I'm still a bit scared to update. I agree about the UI situation, with Samsung it's awful. After 5+ years my Harmony One and hub are still critical pieces of my setup especially since I use dongles for my streaming and an A2A receiver for sound.
Congratulations on your new TV use it in good health. Do you have any positives or negatives so far? Thanks
I’m trying to decide between it and the c1
Thanks for the video. I am curious are the 4- hdmi 2.1 the full 48 gig bandwidth and if so are their any limits on hdmi 2.1 ports. I was reading else where that manufactures can say the unit has hdmi 2.1 but may not support all the features of hdmi 2.1. What do you know about that? Thanks again
I just got a QN90A and I’m having trouble with the sound cutting out when using my Apple TV. I have to close the app and restart and that has been fixing it so far. My firmware is up to date, and I have tried a couple different HDMI cable’s. Any suggestions??
I wish that mid and high end tvs eliminated sound all together. Kinda pointless when sound bars are so much better. Keep sound to the lower budget models
I'm looking forward to your review of the QN900B.

@@wowfoelifewarcrack3297 I have the qn90b at the moment and I absolutely love it. Just thinking is it really worth the upgrade
Don't touch!! Got a 65" qn90b and the picture is amazing. HDR is the best. But mine has a burbling sound coming from it that turns to a buzz when bright images are on screen. IE, it seems to be related to power draw as it happens when volume is muted. It's quite audible when sound is low like in morning when I'm up first in the house. After weeks of being asked to email various videos and audio files to Samsung they turned round and said it was within the design parameters if the appliance. Bullshit, I've had Samsung and Sony TV's for years without any issues. Samsung's may be a bit cheaper than other premium brands but they're rubbish, and their after sales service is shocking. I'll never buy another Samsung product again and won't be getting the s23 ultra I'd planned to. Had to get that off my chest I feel cheated!
Man, what happened to Sammy's all of a sudden? They opened up a Pandora's box of chaos on their tv's all of a sudden. Talk about ruining a good rep.
the buzzing problem was only on the QN95B model not the QN90B and they fixed it with a firmware update

Come on people the TV was on the 1204 firmware not 1211, and also you think Samsung is going to let him review a broken firmware????
I don't think "EVERYTHING IS FINE NOW".... Thinking since backlight bug is happening with multiple firmware versions, I'm hoping Costco carries the 85QN95B although they probably use the same chipset. At least they have a 90 day return policy and include 5 year warranty in price and different manufacturing since chipset is in one connect box... or the QN90A... hmmmm... $5500 or $2500.
sidenote: does QN90A allow dynamic HDR on HDMI 1&2. Sound&Vision review says it does.
50 for va panel ,144hz and a really good price
Is there any reason to buy a Q90a since its a lot cheaper right now like $1,200 for a 65 inch or just go and get the Qn90b 65 inch for about $1,600......
8:10 144hz is only reachable on the 43 and 50 inch versions. 55 inch and up go up to 120hz max
Hey Caleb,
Can you do a comparison video of Sony's trilumious pro vs qled in other brands? People keep saying trilumious blue filter is similar to white light qled filter, if its true then isn't it justified to pay for Sony Tax??
How do I get the QN90B home screen to look like the QN90A? So much better than the current layout which takes up the whole screen! I can't watch TV and browse the apps and configs at the same time, it's stupid!
So the blooming and black levels are bad on this tv, or good?
I currently have an s95b and I am stuck! Should I keep the OLED or switch to QN90b? I want a brighter screen but not at the expense of noticeably worse black levels, blooming, etc…
No so blooming like the past and nearly perfect black levels witn no black crush even on the games, one step lower than an oled tv ,so if you want it only for movies in a black room with low light take better an oled but u pay more and will not be so bride as the qn90b, this tv is for every user scenery ,ill buy it soon

Whats the difference between the qn90b model and the qn95b model ?
One has neo net chip, QN95B has neural net chip
2 questions. Just so I can have something to compare it to in brightness since the qn95b isn't available here yet. Would you say that the qn95b is similar in brightness to the qn90b or last years model?? 2nd question. Is image quality better the smaller the display is? I've heard that said. If that's true is 55 inch better in image quality than 65 inch? It's kind of important because I'm most likely making a purchase today. I'm most likely going s95b. Are colors more vibrant on S95b then the qn95b
My q90b is hitting over 1800 nits in the 10% window. Over 1500 out to the 50% window. I’ve yet to calibrate it because it’s only got around 100 hours on it but it’s an absolute flagship quality panel. Local dimming is fantastic even in game mode and blacks are super inky. It’s probably safe to say it’s one of the best led TVs ever made and easily the best this year. Who’s gonna make a better one?

@@eee2115 newest one. I just got the tv last week
@@curtk8130 Right, but did it come with 1211, which has been shown to be problematic? Trying to see what firmware the TVs are shipping with. I am in the market for either QN90B or the 95B, depending on if there is a major difference between the image quality.
@@eee2115 I honestly don’t remember the firmware the tv ships with. I do know it did have to update so if 1211 is the newest update then the tv did not ship with it. Honestly I haven’t had any issues with it but I’ve just mainly used the tv for gaming and I have streamed a few movies. Really the only complaint I have with it is I don’t care for the new version of tizen. Seems like getting to the tv settings takes a step or two too many. It’s a minor complaint I know. What kind of issues have you heard about? As for choosing between the q90 and the qd oled I went with the the qled for a few reasons. One the tv is in a bright room and the qled is just better suited for the room do to being brighter and the s95b having lifted blacks in a room with lots of light. Plus the s95 is first gen tech and I’ve been burned in the past being an early adopter. The tech will have growing pains and I’m not paying a premium to be a tester. I’m sure either would be great but I went with the safer bet and I can tell you it’s a very nice tv.
Thx!!!
The 4 HDMI 2.1 inputs on the QN90B should have be en on the QN90T and the QN90A. I won't buy the QN90B now that we have the QN95B here in the USA and is the true Flagship 4k Neo QLED in Samsung 's lineup for 2022.
For the price point of the QN95B you may as well go for the 8k QN900b, as it's about the same price.
@@ghostingyou1218 Currently the price of the QN95B 85" is $5999.99 ,the QN900B 85" cost $7999.99 a difference of $2000.00 plus taxes .
There 8K had horrendous DSE LOL QN95B will to, all there tvs do, they all suck, it’s technically robbing someone if you ask me
I see what you mean, but even as a guy who wants top PQ in a Non-OLED TV, for my situation, and had enough cash saved for an 85" QN95B, I still went ahead yesterday with ordering an 85" QN90B.
Because several people who attended the 2022 Value Electronics Flat Panel Shootout, back in July (who also run UA-cam channels that review TVs) were very disappointed with the performance that Samsung's 65" QN95B displayed at that competition, since they had expected the 95B to at least show a small PQ improvement over the 90B, a TV they all have rated quite highly. But despite careful tweaking of the QN95B by the Samsung technicians who were there at the shootout, though the QN90B, itself, was not included in the competition, those UA-cam reviewers who know it very well, said that it's more expensive sibling, the QN95B, was unable to display picture quality that looked even a bit better than the PQ that they've gotten out of the QN90B. So their advice is, unless someone needs the One Connect box that's included with the 95B, or its slightly improved sound compared to the 90B, potential buyers would be wasting their money if expecting to get improved picture quality compared to the 90B. And I can believe that's true since people who have digital memberships with Consumer Reports, like me, have access to CR's extensive ratings of TVs (including over 3 dozen test reports for 2022 & 2021 models of 65" TVs) which gave the 65" QN90B an overall rating of 84, which was the highest among Non-OLED TVs (the Sony X-95K mini-LED 65" model scored 78) and even the top scoring OLED, Samsung's S95B, just scored 86.
@@mrb0775 about makes me feel like starting my own company and making tvs LOL I’d make sure not a single drop of DSE or banding was there…for EVERY panel. Probably cost $4000 for the tv but heck with what Sony and Samsung are giving I would storm the market

Hello fan!! Thanks for being and active user and subscriber, you have being selected for my giveaway section via telegram 🎊🎉.
My issue with wide viewing angles is that you see dse the further off axis you go so it kind of forces me to watch straight on anyway.
I was considering using the 43" version of this tv as a computer monitor. I have heard that the gaming experience on the 43" version is not that great. People in forums say that there's quite a bit of ghosting in dark scenes. That's a big disappointment. So far I haven't found any display that comes close to OLED for PC use but I'm hesitant to go with OLED for a monitor because of burn in.
OLED all the way....burn in is kind of overblown in my opinion
@@ronniekregar3482 they both have benefits and you can't lose with either, it depends on your use case. If the environment is dark go OLED if it's bright go mini LED.
I have the 43" version of the 90B, never seen ghosting on the TV, i use it with my PS5, is the best tv I ever bought, colors are beautyfull
Had mine since April & use mine for PC gaming only & its been great.
I don't know about the 43 inch version, but I do have the 50 inch version and I've seen no issues with ghosting or black smearing.
I actually like the QN90B much better than my LG CX. Colors are much closer to my plasmas than any modern display I've seen. I love the rich, thick, but still natural looking colors of plasmas and this QN90B is very similar. And motion is also more plasma-like since it uses pulse width modulation. The movement is clearer and more alive feeling than the motion on the OLEDs. Especially if you use black frame insertion, which by the way is excellent on this TV. The picture is still bright and colorful while using black frame insertion, whereas on the CX it is incredibly dim and dull looking.
Can Uncompressed 7.1 audio pass through eARC from Xbox Series or PS5, to my A/V ? Samsung does not support this on my Q90T.
DSE?
Noticeable on my QN85A from last year
Yes I had 2 QN90B both had fking grid pattern across screen
Can you review the Samsung QN85B next??
Does it require Voltage stabiliser?
Nothing requires it but it's smart to have
How does this tv compare to the Hisense U8h?
Would you choose the Samsung QN90B or the Sony A80K?
Samsung QN90B for real
Will you review the TCL C845?
Whats the peak of brightness of the 43" size?
so which one is better between the most popular models? C2 or QN90B?
C2 more popular but I would still buy QN90B
Can you do the 43 inch version as a PC monitor test?
