We get started on our review process by unboxing a 65-inch QN90A, talk a little bit about Neo, and get some first impressions.

Hey everyone! How important is Dolby Vision? Or is HDR 10 good enough?

[ANTHONY-rpud]

Two thumbs up for Samsung keeping the stand in the center of the TV unlike others with legs on each end and saving you money on buying a monster TV stand. And as far as motion smoothing we do need to have a talk LOL

1:52 The manual explicitly shows that first you connect the two stand parts, _then_ you slot the stand into the back of the TV (lying the TV on a table / couch so the stand can hang below the screen plane). The way you show is reverse and means you have to awkwardly try to line up the stand while it is connected to a big heavy TV.

The dude that delivered this to me was 7ft tall and carried it with 1 hand like a boom box from the 80's. I was like🥺... pls don't drop it...😬

I have brought this tv QN90A 65", I love it, so far no issues at all....

[neilmarktaylor]

I just bought the qn95a 65" got great reviews in the UK

[CrystalNinja]

When he pulled the box up and the tv shook a little bit... My heart skipped a beat..

[christophrcorbin]

I love the emphasis on the product literature! 😅

I bought and returned a 65" LGCX over a flawed panel but decided OLED just wasn't for me.
I got a great deal on a 75" QN800A (preorder), why did I go for this TV? Better UI, brighter, one connect box, thinner overall aesthetics, 8k, and no burn in anxiety.
I still love the OLEDs, and no TV is perfect but the Samsung is perfect for me.

[Nerdydiva]

I'm expecting this TV to be brighter and have better black levels. Can't wait to see the review

[Petersen]

Hi all we went to stores several times look TVs and LG Oled seem dark and we have very bright room. So after been into different stores we had 2 options left Sony new Oled. Which have better processor than Lg. But because of price on Sony too high and not much better than Neo Qled we bought Samsung Neo Qled. 65” 4 K And we not regret at all. Even now if look in stores even Sony look darker. So in 2021 can only recommend this TV. It’s very good 👍

As someone who has a 65’ Q80R and a 65’ Q90T, I’m looking forward to this review, but I’m even more curious for SOMEONE to do a review on the QN800A and/or the QN900A. Not because I really care about 8K, but for $1000 more you can get the 800A vs the 4K 90a, and with the 800A you get the One Connect box, 4 HDMI 2.1 ports, and more. Love your content.

[Artmiri]

Come on that intro deserves a sub and a like! Smooth like butter.

[MortenSkjelbred]

@Caleb please do a LG OLED 2021 vs Samsung Neo QLED comparison video soon :-D

[Undeadwolfy_]

Finally. Been waiting for the review on this for a while.

Would expect darker blacks and brighter highs especially in smaller percentage windows.

Hope you test the brightness levels and game mode latency + 120 FPS modes.

As a new owner of two healthy 55" Samsung Qled panels from 2019 and 2020 which I got with gaming and films primarily in mind (ie something that supported VRR and ALL) I have to say the one thing I wish it they got better at was the motion ghosting effect that end up looking smeary especially with high contrast structures. I got these TVs for less than a grand each was really the sweet spot of pricing to me. Trust me if money was no obstruction I'd have gotten OLED no doubt but for twice sometimes 3 times the cost it's just not a realistic object of desire rn.
But yea, I would love it for Samsung to address this issue of blur/smearing/ghosting of things in motion across the panel before they focus on brighter hotter panels hopefully not susceptible to higher rates of failure.

[johnmycroft]

SO MUCH BETTER WHEN IM GAMING ON THIS TV

[XxDream_CasterxX]

I have a q60a tv imma keep it for another year I'm just looking for a tv that has no judder or has less, because I'll pop in a movie with a bunch of movement and it looks like theirs alot of blurr to it.

[bivensify]

Man I really like this channel. I really do. I have became a much better informed consumer.

[michaelsondag]

I have the 75 inch QN90A. It is a great tv. Good upgrade from my 65 inch KS8000.
