STRONG BUY · 2 of 3 recommend
The Samsung QN90F is a high-end LED TV praised for its excellent backlight control, vivid colors, deep blacks, and impressive brightness, making it a strong choice for bright rooms and gaming. However, it lacks Dolby Vision support, requires adjustment for optimal performance, and some users report smart TV interface frustrations and occasional audio dropouts. While CNET found it inferior to the more expensive Micro RGB model, What Hi-Fi? and Amazon buyers largely consider it outstanding.
