    Hi Caleb, quick tip: When navigating to "All Settings" from the quick settings pop-up menu at the bottom of the screen, you can press and hold the select button on the remote, and then move the "All Settings" selection all the way to the left of the menu, if you are a power user, which at this point, I think you are!

    4:18 Hey Caleb, only the 43" and 50" models support up to 4k@144Hz on all ports; bigger model sizes are limited to 4k@120Hz. Otherwise, fantastic review!

      This is true. Tiz why there's a much better manufacturer called LG . In fact samsung as of April this year conceded that LG won the oled game high end , and is now LITERALLY sourcing panels from them and focusing on image post processing and AI stuff.

    To turn off auto play on the QN90C you need to follow these steps:
    Press the Home button on your remote and select Settings. Select General and then External Device Manager. Select Device Connect Manager and then Auto Run Last App. Turn off the Auto Run Last App option.

      That is such a convoluted way to do something that should be pretty obvious. What annoys me the most is the input switching option buried deep under connected devices options and the lack of a dedicated button. Samsung TV OS is arguably the worst smart TV OS out there given the multibillion $ megacorp behind the brand. The worst part is that their cancerous OS is slowly metastasizing into their monitor lineup as well.

I can’t do OLED’s because I’m definitely a candidate for burning 🔥 so, I went with a QLED. I’m very OCD when it comes to tech and especially when it’s a significant dollar amount attached to it. Please tell me that I’ve made the right decision with this purchase and why… I’ve been up all night and I couldn’t sleep after seeing this review. lol
    The Tv arrives in a few days and there’s still time to make a change… I really don’t want any regret with this purchase. It’s a 75” for the family room and I’m hoping it would last us for years to come. Please tell me if there’s another Tv, I’ve should’ve considered before it’s too late!

    This guy is becoming one of my favorite TV reviewers to watch because he strikes a good balance between the technical and the easy to understand without being too technical. He's funny too :-). My only wish is that he would expand what he shows to go beyond the purists and their director's intent and show what the TV can do for the 95% of the buying population that prefers what just looks good versus what looks accurate. I want to see just how vibrant and wide the colors can get, I want to see how bright it can get and still retain details in the blacks on other modes besides filmaker and movie. I want to see a comparison with the QN95C, the Sony X95L, and the Sony X93L, as well as TCL QM8 and Hicense 8 series so we can really see if the price differences are worth the incremental improvements. He alluded to that with the TCL which helped me eliminate that from my choice as upscaling and motion are extremely important to me. I'd also like to see more gaming in action.
    It would also be cool if he made a video showing since let's say 2018 or so, how the picture improvements have progressed over time with a specific manufacturer, that way people with older sets (5 years+) can decide if its really time to upgrade or not.
    Anyway, another great video and helps with my research.

    Folks. I own the QN95C, got it for 120K (INR, please convert for September 2024). It's beautiful. Trust me, I've seen it next to an OLED and it's still my preferred choice. The blooming is well within control and you can tweak the settings to please your eyes. Color accuracy in the end is very subjective as you would rather watch what your eyes like. Film maker mode was very close to my calibrated settings using Samsung smart things and an S series device (borrow from your friends if needed, it's worth it). The calibration from that blows away anything in the price range and I'd take this over the OLED. It's accurate if you're into it but it's more about your eyes and how you're pleased. Most of us are not good enough to judge colour accuracy and don't have high end calibration equipment. Go for this and enjoy brighter HDR and no OLED burn in (it's magical).

He called mr fomo a satan worshipper and quantum just landed himself in jail for something he did to his his ex wife. You can look all this up, as his name is on many of the call out videos.

I am using a 2.1 Klipsch PC speaker system with it and I think I could not have gotten a better deal and\or solution at this price point. Wobble is not an issue because it is wall mounted.

    I bought a 65” QLED Q80C from Best Buy for $675
    Presuming that this TV was on for at least 5,000 hours for an entire year AND has minor damage to the back panel
    Was it worth buying for the price??
    My second question is how would you compare this model to the Q80C 2023 model??
    The only difference between the two I’ve noticed was the 4 vs 2 speakers and the picture quality enhancement Q80C has Quantum HDR 4X vs the Q90C with just the Quantum HDR.
    The third question is
    For $119 more with the same quality of an open-display TV with the QN90C presumably with the price tag, is it worth upgrading it for 119 dollars more to trade the Q80C or should I just stick with the Q80C??

    One thing thay drives me bananas about Samsung TV's is that they lean backwards when on the stand. If you have a look from the side, you'll see the top of the screen is in some cases almost 2" closer to the wall than the bottom. This directly affects the viewing angle IMO. Particularly if you're sitting relatively close to the TV as the screen is pointing over your head.

    Hi Caleb, one thing the sales guys always rant about is longevity when it comes to TCL and Hisense. What do you have to say on that? It’s one thing to have comparable performance, but another thing to have a TV die (or become unwatchable) after 3-5 years.

    • @Caleb_Denison

      I have a 5 year old TCL 6-series that’s still kicking. But outside of that anecdote, I would say to the salesman who says any product won’t last to wait until there is data supporting widespread failures of TVs less than 3 years old before making that claim. Also, the TVs are still new enough that I don’t think we could even have a decent sample size of that data. Also, also,: with the community being as vocal as it is on forums and in comment threads on platforms like this, would we not have hear of widespread premature failures? I haven’t yet. Also, also, also: I think there is merit to the notion that keeping a TV longer than 5 years is a practice in rapid decline. I’m not saying it SHOULD be that way, but it sure seems like the replacement or upgrade cycle is increasingly shortening.

Few times the TV asked to prepare the best configuration for this arrangement. Afterwords I often experienced a black screen for few to five seconds very upsetting. Neither Samsung nor Apple took responsibility for this. After I adjusted the picture setting configuration and the power energy settings, the 8k configuration on Mac disappeared but also the irritating black screen. Now occasionally when I reconnect the mini hdmi cable with the tv hdmi, TV asks again to readjust its configuration with the Mac for the best possible picture. Should I do that again or stay away from it ? MUCH appreciate your input in this matter. Thank you …..

If you want it to choose for you you can let it configure it itself. The few seconds of black screen that you experienced, is the TV switching back to its default settings once it switches from the connected device it was previously using.
