What keeps coming up
One owner has both a QN90A and an LG B4 OLED and prefers the QN90A. That is a single account, too few for the site to call it settled praise.

Samsung QN90A
For the few owners here, the QN90A holds its own against OLED: one who owns both prefers it, and another got a 55 inch heavily discounted as an outgoing model.
What keeps coming up against it
No owner here describes a real problem with the QN90A itself. The burn-in theme comes from a comment saying OLED panels still burn in, and that only the brightness dimming on static images and logos has improved. The second comment under that theme is about an older Samsung TV, not burn-in, so the theme is too thin to judge.

What the specs mean
4K means the picture is sharp even on a big screen. With 120Hz, fast games and sports look smooth, and it can show 4K at 120 frames per second from a PS5 or Xbox Series X. With 4 HDMI ports you can plug in a console, a streaming box and a soundbar at once. Samsung's page does not list the warranty, so check with the store before you buy.
Newer model
Neo QLED 4K Mini LED Smart TV, QN90F replaces this one. Samsung's listings for the QN90F (2025) say it goes up to 165Hz, while the QN90A tops out at 120Hz. The QN90F also adds a Glare Free screen and a newer processor (NQ4 AI Gen3). It comes in more sizes, from 43 up to 115 inches.

Life with it
The clearest account of living with it comes from an owner who also has an LG B4 OLED and still prefers the QN90A. The same person has been comparing Sony's Bravia 9 with Sony OLEDs and found that which one looked better depended on the scene. They could see the difference but could not pick a winner.
Another owner got a 55 inch QN90A at a deep discount through a friend at a store. The set was one or two years old and the store wanted to clear it. Beyond that, nobody here says what became routine or what they had to get used to, so this page cannot speak to daily use.
Reliability & repairs
The reliability and warranty accounts here are about other Samsung TVs, not this one. One owner has bought three Samsung sets over 25 years, says none of them broke, still uses two, and bought the extended warranty each time. Their main TV is a Q90T that is more than six years old, and they still rate it highly. The burn-in discussion is about OLED panels, not the QN90A.
To put it plainly, there are no long-term accounts of the QN90A in this sample. No owner here reports anything breaking or holding up over years on this model, so its durability is still unknown.

Nothing has a clear majority against it yet. Counted from the owners who raised each subject, not from everyone. A subject is judged once at least 4 owners raise it.
9 more subjects came up from fewer than 4 owners each, which is not enough for a fair reading. To see how it stacks up, compare it with another machine.
Does it still kick?
The same owner, asked again at each point. Fills in as owners answer.
Own this one?
Two questions: how long you have had it, and anything you would like to say about it. Then we ask again as it ages. This helps our mission.

Still good used?
What a used buyer should know, from owners a year or more in
Among the 3 owner accounts here that gave a duration, 0 described a failure.
Before you buy one used, ask the seller: how old it is, whether it was ever repaired and by whom, and whether any of the parts above have been replaced. Ask to see it run. A receipt tells you the warranty start date; most makers honour the term only for the first owner.
