Samsung’s best 4K TV of 2021 is QLED (QN90A review)

Here’s a full, in-depth comparison. 00:20 Mini LED 00:45 Design 02:13…

No Dolby vision?? That is a deal breaker
Stephen Patterson
May 30, 2021 at 1:00 am
Why? Do you know what Dolby Vision ACTUALLY does? If you have a very high performing display, the difference between HDR10 and DV is negligible. DV really exists as an aid to mid level TVs that can’t handle fixed meta data HDR well. This is a TV that CAN handle it well so it wouldn’t help them out much in terms of IQ. All it would do is make them have to raise prices to cover the licensing fees. This is coming from the owner of a Sony that began life as HDR10 only then gained DV support through an update. Netlix and Vudu basically looked the same as far as I could tell.

@Samsung QN90A It’s possible for sure, but I’m on my personal 3rd oled haven’t b had an issues. With the technology they put into current panels *most people won’t ever experience it. It’s tons point where it’s not worth mentioning, especially if it’s a review for a tv that isn’t even oled. The tv being reviewed here is Qled.

How hard is it to replace the remote battery as it wont recharge for ever
Stephen Patterson
May 30, 2021 at 12:50 am
It’ll recharge and stay alive far longer than a set of replaceable batteries would. Considering how little use a TV remote gets over its lifespan, a rechargeable battery should last the life of that TV. Whereas replaceable batteries would have to be replaced numerous times. Considering how many TVs Samsung sells in a given year, that’s hundreds of thousands if not millions of batteries being kept out of landfills. It’s not just convenience, it’s higher sustainability

Facts, He said almost as good as OLED but we know QLED has blooming so its not even close and there’s nothing even close to having that much dimming zones in a QLED compared to OLEDs 8,294,400 pixels which are like dimming zones

@DETERMINOLOGY QLED is crap but so is OLED. Enjoy black crush, burn in and ABL on your “fancy” new OLED.

@Sambain if oled was that bad no one would be buying it but it’s just your opinion

May 30, 2021 at 6:13 pm
@DETERMINOLOGY People are buying OLED because they “think” its good. Again, enjoy your black crush (OLEDs crush details in dark scenes) and ABL (which automatically dims the TV the brighter it gets). I’m keeping my eye on Dual layered LCDs, but because they are energy hogs, I doubt they will make it to the US.

A rechargeable remote is interesting. In my experience though 2 or 3 AA’s or AAA’s last for ages, years sometimes. I like centrally positioned stands. Wide fitting ones like on the Sony A90J are often too far apart for TV cabinets, even on smaller screen sizes.
Steve L
May 30, 2021 at 7:26 pm
I don’t know about the A90J, but on my A80J, you can move the legs closer. It basically has 3 positions, closer, wider, and higher/wider for soundbar placement.
Koreskalp
May 30, 2021 at 10:05 am
Hope that you can ask Samsung if their intention is to rollout this new technology into all of their high end TVs and in particular into the Frame which is so far behind in terms of technology compared to its concurrence.

Hey David! but why Samsung aren’t producing OLED like TVs like LG, and is Samsung manufacturing its mobiles screen the same way, i.e. are they LED-backlit only, not a real LED panels!
John B
May 30, 2021 at 5:09 pm
No, mobile RGB panels are different from WOLED panels for televisions. There is a rumor that Samsung will purchase WOLED panels from LGD and start manufacturing their own OLED televisions.

But does it pass through multichannel lossless PCM? Because I have a Q70R and this is a big issue for me. Because the lack of eARC, you can’t have Dolby Atmos and Freesync at the same time. You have to choose one or the other. I bought the TV for Freesync but don’t even use it because I’d rather have Dolby Atmos.

Stop excusing Samsung for not putting Dolby Vision in their TVs. It’s absolutely ridiculous, anti-consumer, and is purely a cost-saving move on their part to avoid licensing fees. This is a $2,300 TV. Vizio, Hisense, TCL, LG and Sony all support Dolby Vision on sets costing less than half as much, so Samsung can clearly afford it. Saying it performs well in HDR10 is like saying HD DVD was just as good as Blu-Ray in 2006. Is it technically true in terms of picture quality at the time? Sure. Is it becoming very clear that Dolby Vision is becoming the HDR standard? Yes.
