Samsung QN90D

A bright-room mini LED that most owners who weighed in are glad they bought, with the dissenters being people who compared it directly against an OLED and preferred the OLED.

What keeps coming up

Most owners who gave an overall verdict are happy with the purchase, including buyers of the 75 and 86 inch sizes and one who moved over from a Sony bought a few years earlier and uses it in a well lit living room.

What keeps coming up against it

The minority who dislike it are OLED owners: one says an older LG CX outperforms it, and another who moved on to a Samsung OLED says they disliked the QN90D without being able to say exactly why.

Life with it

The accounts we have are mostly from early in ownership. What people mention is the big sizes (75, 85 and 86 inch sets come up) and using it in a bright living room. One owner points to eye comfort mode and the brightness control as the answer to anyone who finds it too bright out of the box, which suggests the default settings are worth adjusting.

On picture quality, the accounts are too few to judge. One owner who chose mini LED over OLED to avoid burn in risk says the picture and blacks are very good and they are extremely happy. Another, having since bought an OLED, says the QN90D never satisfied them. If you are coming from an OLED, that is the split to be aware of.

Reliability & repairs

Nobody in these accounts reports a fault, a failure, or a repair. That is all we can say in its favour on durability.

The long-term record here is thin. We have a small number of owners, most of them writing soon after buying, and none describing how the set behaves after a year or more. Treat the reliability picture as unknown rather than good.

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.

18 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.
