We tested the 55 inch Samsung QN90A, and for the most part, the review is valid for the 65 inch, 75 inch, 85 inch, and 98 inch variants available in North America. There's a 43 inch variant, but it has a lower refresh rate and doesn't support HDMI 2.1 bandwidth, so it performs differently than the other models. Also, the 50 inch model has the same features but doesn't use the 'Ultra Viewing Angle' technology. Joining the 50QN90A’s terrific contrast is some exceptionally high brightness for a small screen when showing full-screen bright HDR images. Only Sony is capable of getting even brighter than the 50QN90A in the mid-range/small screen market when it comes to the most intense HDR content – but those Sony sets don’t have Mini LED lighting on hand to keep dark scenes free of blooming.

Max light output HDR (high dynamic range) while displaying a live scene and white square taking up 10% of the screen (measured in Nits) That said the likes of Sony have upped their game with forward-facing sound solutions that tend to offer better precision and good sound projection. While Samsung hasn’t gone down that route for the QN90A, it does seem to have responded to the challenge. The audio from this TV is a significant improvement on previous seasons. The pixel pitch shows the distance from the centers of two neighboring pixels. In displays, which have a native resolution (the TFT ones, for example), the pixel pitch depends on the resolution and the size of the screen.

Max light output HDR (high dynamic range) while displaying small white square taking up 60% of the screen (measured in Nits) Unlike Samsung’s higher-end Neo QLED models, the QN90A doesn’t come with a One Connect box, a handy accessory that functions as a connection hub for all your cabling. Instead, all the connection ports can be found at the rear of the TV, to the right as you face the screen. These all face sideways and are located 23cm from the edge of the panel. While you need to tweak a couple of things to get the best out of it, a well set up 50QN90A proves that Samsung’s Mini LED-driven Neo QLED technology is capable of elevating the brand’s TVs to new OLED-challenging performance heights even at a relatively mainstream size.

That remote carries more buttons but is still practical enough to control if you’ve got small enough fingers to press the smaller buttons. The smart remote is the less cluttered option for those who don’t like to be assaulted with buttons they’ll never use. It also comes with a solar panel that absorbs ambient light to charge itself or can be charged via USB-C. There’s also Auto Low Latency Mode, which enables your games console to send a signal to the QN90A that will cause it to automatically engage the TV’s Game Mode when a console is connected and turned on. With Game Mode active, the QN90A produced a very low input lag of 9.8ms. Another of the QN90A’s gaming options – Game Motion Plus – smooths motion without increasing the lag, and those that prefer an ultrawide view when gaming can make use of the 21:9 and 32:9 aspect ratio options. No cuenta con Dolby Vision pero añadieron por fin la compatibilidad con Dolby Atmos que con sus altavoces de 60W y 4.2.2 canales crean una experiencia de sonido a la altura de lo que se espera, usando la tecnología de OTS+ con la que el televisor busca de donde sale el sonido en cada escena para crear una experiencia 3D y de cine, siendo recomendable comprar una barra de sonido con la tecnóloga de Q-Symphony si queremos sacar todo el potencial que ofrece Samsung con este televisor. The only catch with the 50QN90A’s upscaling is that it can start to look too fizzy with very grainy sources. This slight harshness can be softened away by the noise reduction options, but this inevitably leads to softer, occasionally slightly processed-looking results. To reiterate this point, though, the fizzing problem only happens with unusually grainy sources. With relatively pristine HD images the 50QN90A’s upscaling is outstanding.Overall, the Samsung QE55QN90B’s performance is a colourful one that’s well-suited to bright rooms, but that level of brightness can overwhelm.

New this year is the Game Bar, which provides all the key gaming info and features in one convenient location. This can be selected by simply holding down the play/pause button on your remote, and includes the HDR, frame rate and VRR status, as well as key gaming picture adjustments.
