Thank You Abby! Great review as always!🤝🏼

[NNJAKIDD]

Can't wait to see a review of the QN95D, I just purchased one

[IntrovertAlert]

Thanks very much to Abby and the Rtings Team for this wonderful review. Could you please tell me if Rtings will be reviewing the Samsung QN900D? This seems like a unique tv to review as it appears (based on the specifications) to be the first 4K 240Hz TV. It is also interesting how it doesn’t seem to be catching the attention of gamers (also acknowledging the high price), perhaps because it is mainly advertised as an 8K TV. As a PC gamer and racing sim enthusiast I would be very interested to see a review of the Samsung QN900D.

Didn't know that about the non-DTS audio passthrough. I'll go with the Bravia 9. Thanks for providing the details that helped me make the right decision

[justeddm]

Wanted to pick the u8n 55, but unfortunately hisense TVs always have different performances basing on region. Wish they fixed this like Samsung or LG that have uniformity in performance

[manuelpaz]

Probably one of the most underrated MINILED 📺😮

[terrystockman]

Hi Abby can’t wait to see the Sony Bravia 8 review

[truegrabbers]

I have 2 choices
Sony Bravia 7 XR70 or Samsung QN90D
Which one shoud i pick please any folks suggest ?

[josesanguino]

Make a 2024 q82d review please! I can’t find anything anywhere

[michaelwyckoff]

TCL and Hisense have TVS that are just as good or even better in some aspects than the QN90D😊. Hi Abby😊❤.

[mrrjimm]

Can the average person adjust the settings to make it more accurate? Thanks for your vids.

[kenned]

What do you mean with issues with nvidia cards? Problem if i use my pc on the tv??

[TheNummer]

hey, would you buy the 98 Zoll Samsung QLED QN90D (2024) ca. 5.000euro or the 97 Zoll LG OLED G2 (2022) ca. 10.500euro ?

[Voce]

Heads up, your site likely has inaccurate key information on this model.

“The QN90D series uses 4K IPS-ADS panels for the 85", 75", 65", and 55" models, and VA panels for the 98", 50, and 43" models.”

Directly from Samsung.

Your site states the qn90d 65” is a VA panel.

Hey, again ^^ what would you guys recommend for a two monitor setup for gaming and watching content/streaming/recording? Used to have an oled ultrawide but sold it as the aspect ratio makes streaming or video creating difficult.. would two 27 inch oleds be an awful idea due to burn in risks?

[bucclao]

The 85”qn800c 8k 85”qn90D 4k is same price on sale now today $2799 so what should I upgrade to from my old 85”qn90a ???

[billbell]

I have the QN90B 43". I use it as a TV, streaming device and PC monitor. Works great. It also has ATSC 3.0. I was looking to upgrade but QN90D but it only supports ATSC 1.0, VERY DISAPPOINTING.

[furballbear]

How does the QN90D compare to the Sony Bravia 7 and Bravia 9?

[musichoney-nwrq]

QNX1D is exists ? Where it fits QN90D or QN85D?

[Dandiego]

Is the grid visible on blue content normal in this kind of TVs? Or is it a problem?
