Awesome TV!
on April 17, 2024
Posted by: jb820

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The tv is very thin which is great for mounting on the wall and the bezel on the front is also very thin around entire tv. The base is located in the center of the tv which makes it easy to set on any entertainment stand and is a sturdy metal vs little plastic feet.
Picture quality is awesome, the contrast between the bright colors and dark blacks is impressive, 4k looks noticeably better. Sound quality was average for the sound coming directly from TV and not paired with a sound bar, but good for how thin the TV is.
The Peak Brightness Limiter was most useful setting because we found the factory setting to be far too bright - we preferred setting to Off. I would also be concerned about potential for screen burn-in with Peak Brightness set to High (default). The Intelligent Mode was also helpful, adjusting brightness based on ambient lighting conditions. Blur and Judder Reduction was good (both set to 10) for when streaming 4k content, only judder we noticed was when the camera panned across (left to right, right to left) a highly detailed scene. Contrast Enhancer makes picture noticeably more vibrant, enhancing differences between bright colors and deep blacks. Color Booster did not seem to provide a more appealing color space, was turned off. Our overall preferred picture setting was factory settings with Peak Brightness turned off. Color and contrast are very good using factory default settings. Would have liked to see Sharpness setting have more effect on picture quality when adjusted, could only see differences when very close to the screen - no visible difference at normal viewing distance (8 ft). While watching 4k movies (especially animated CGI movies) the Depth Enhancer is noticeable and makes the picture appear almost 3D. We did go through the Smart Calibration process (which worked fine with iPhone 14), but found the picture very similar to Film Maker mode and overall color, contrast and brightness not as visually appealing as the Default settings with reduced brightness. The OS is very useful because there are plenty of apps all in one place as well as free content.
The QD-OLED panel provides a very high quality picture, noticeably better than WOLED. Thinness of the TV is very attractive for wall mounting. Screen also seems to have better anti-reflection / anti-glare properties when compared to old TV (2012 Samsung). We are very impressed with the 55” Samsung S90D.

OLED tvs have leveled up!
on April 17, 2024

from Bradenton
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Oled tech has come a long way over the years! This new tv is extraordinarily bright and vivid. Set up was an absolute cinched. Just plug in and connected to the internet. The new NQ4 AI Gen2 Processor makes moving through the Samsung tizen operating system a snap. Theres no hang time between switching between apps and navigation feels quick.
Where i particularly was impressed was the sound you get from such a thin tv. It doesn't have the low hollow sound most tvs do nowadays, this is because of the Dolby atmos system built into the tv.
I didn't play with the gaming hub to much but I was able to get my pc to run at the full 144hz with freesync enabled. It was relatively easy and if you have ever tried doing this before it can be a real pain. Here it was simple and straight forward.
Finally the remote is pretty nifty as it can be programed to also control your audio or blu-ray system. Overall I highly recommend this tv.

New Samsung QN55S90DAFXZA
on April 22, 2024
Posted by: Brown221
from Poway
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This is the first TV I've gotten for my main viewing/family room in 16 years and there are many changes that have come about since then. I previously had a 50" plasma TV which had top-of the-line picture quality when I bought it in 2008. The plasma TV still works but I wasn't sure how much longer it would last and decided it would be a good time to get a new TV.
The Samsung TV is much brighter than my previous set and the images are very crisp. I fine tuned the settings to adjust it to a more comfortable level that my eyes are accustomed to. The screen also has a 3D effect where the foreground and background look distinctly separate which my plasma TV didn't have. I'm not a gamer but I can see that it would be a great set for gaming as well as watching sports.
The 55" size fit my existing entertainment center cabinet which has a lift mechanism to raise and lower the TV. I'm happy a new TV fit so I can still use this item of furniture. It was easy to mount and connect the set to my existing receiver and speakers for surround sound quality.
The ability to connect to steaming providers such as Disney+ is an added benefit I was not able to use with my previous TV. The Samsung has a built-in quick connect feature to common streaming providers.
The remote control is small and seems like it will be easy to lose. I think it would be better and easier to see if it's a white or light gray color.
Overall, I'm very pleased with this new Samsung TV!
I would recommend this to a friend!

Exceptional Visual and Audio Entertainment Experie
on April 22, 2024

from Poway
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] It has been over a decade since we have updated the television in our audio/visual entertainment system. We have been evaluating newer television options to replace our old power-hungry plasma TV and decided to replace it with the Samsung QN55S90D. We have not been disappointed with the choice. The S90D has a beautiful full-width QD QLED display that provides outstanding visual presentation with its bright vibrant colors. Although the factory default settings provided outstanding video and audio, we used the easy to access settings options to optimize the display to our preferences. In about 15 minutes of adjustments and testing we were able to get the system adjusted to our preference and are completely satisfied with the bright, crisp and bold colors when watching TV shows, movies, sports, concerts and other genres of programs.
We also have found the Neo QLED 8K Enhancers provides an exceptional viewing experience. Most notably, when compared to our previous plasma TV, the programming appears much more three-dimensional and realistic. Characters seem to pop from the background more distinctly and adds depth to the visual experience. As a photographer I understand that yielding the most out of the raw input file depends greatly upon the ability to leverage the data and maximize its conversion into the final displayed product. Samsung has done an exceptional job of using its enhancer to maximize the available detail when displaying the programming resulting in much more detail within the elements of the displayed image. Truly impressive.
Although one of the benefits which we were seeking with a replacement TV was to leverage our existing receiver and surround entertainment system, when watching streaming content on the QN55S90D, we have had the opportunity to listen to with the TV’s Dolby Atmos sound systems and have been impressed with the outstanding sound quality and experience. This capability provides us with options on leveraging the best audio experience in our entertainment experience.
Finally, we had a limitation on our available TV size selection as we had an existing entertainment center with a power lift system for hiding the TV when not in use. The S90D met the need with its low-profile design and its easy to interface with mounting locations.

All the New Features I Wanted
on April 22, 2024
Posted by: RBTCLN
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I needed to update my television to get the most out of the current generation of console gaming. The HDMI 2.1 allows for 120hz refresh rate and looks amazing. Being able to view the frames per second in real time is also an excellent upgrade over my previous television and feels very next gen in terms of TV.
Additionally the OLED picture looks so much better than I expected. Everything I view looks beyond great and even non 4k seems upscaled to a very high quality. Hands down best TV I've ever owned.
