Samsung QN90C QLED TV Review | Not What You Expected?

You'd think the QN90C would be a replacement for the 2022 Samsung QN90B, but on paper it looks a little more like last year's step-down model, the QN85B. Did the QN90C get downgraded? What tech went missing, and what's new? Is this the TV we asked for? I'll answer all those question and more to help you decide if this is the QLED TV you should buy.

Hi Caleb, quick tip: When navigating to "All Settings" from the quick settings pop-up menu at the bottom of the screen, you can press and hold the select button on the remote, and then move the "All Settings" selection all the way to the left of the menu, if you are a power user, which at this point, I think you are!

Thanks for another great video, Caleb!

To turn off auto play on the QN90C you need to follow these steps:

Press the Home button on your remote and select Settings. Select General and then External Device Manager. Select Device Connect Manager and then Auto Run Last App. Turn off the Auto Run Last App option.

A review that covers every aspect of this tv, from unboxing to specs and general conclusion. Really like your way of reviewing tvs, i would note it's really cool and user friendly! Btw looking for this tv as BF is getting closer, prices are really high, at least in Athens Greece, and so do the lower budget ones from TCL or Hisense. Ηaving in mind burn-in threatening, mini led is the way.

This tv Really stood out in the store.. looked gorgeous. Love to see you do a direct comparison against the QN90B..

I’ve had the QN90C for about 6 weeks now. I love it. I’m impressed with the upscaling and extremely impressed with the off angle viewing. The black levels are great as well. I’ve heard the brightness wasn’t that great but this tv is plenty bright.

Just ordered the 85” QN90C today for $2399! $2549 shipped directly from Samsung! Went to Best Buy and after comparing to Sony X90L, TCL QM8 and Hisense U8K, that and you review helped me make a final decision. I went with SAMSUNG!

Hi, what’s The 90c Like while watching sports like Football, is there any judder or motion problems, Thanks

[keithzastrow]

Here it is January 2024 and I can now get this TV for $2080 in the 85" size directly from Samsung. 100% buying it this year. Best bang for the buck by far out of any TV out there.

[jeffreybush]

This was VERY helpful! As I'm now going to purchase this television, I'll be coming back to your channel for both specifics and learning more about how to get the most out of contemporary televisions. Thanks!

Hi Caleb, My first time watching, and excellent video. Won’t be my last day either. What do you think of this TV compared to the Samsung Q8FN? I’m having a very hard time trying to decide whether to pick up this TV NEW in a 65 inch Or the Q8FN Used in a 75 inch TV. Both are in the same price range, what’s your opinion on the two?

[AlexanderXtcSlayin]

Can’t wait to see the qn90c vs Qm8 video. One thing I’d love to see is which actually gets brighter in dobly vision/hdr10

[VerbThaNerd]

I got last year's QN90B on sale and when I plugged it up the brightness was crazy! even on the lowest settings. I did compare my TV to the QN90C but I wasn't convinced. After watching this review am sure now I made the right choice! While this TV has some highlights Last year's QN90B is still a banger for me, and anyone who wants a Samsung will be happy with it!

[AkashShukla-nywu]

Hi,
I'm getting sony 65x90l and Samsung 65qn90c at same price so what do i choose for long term.

[StationOutlook]

This tv Really stood out in the store.. looked gorgeous

Hi Caleb how are you doing tonight? So my 75" Samsung QN90C TV just in a couple days Ago and I have hit the Panel Lottery. I got they Perfect Panel. I have absolutely No Blooming and Absolutely No DSE!!

[Lucas-ckpo]

Whats your opinion on the ADS panel compared to its smaller brother with VA?
The QN90C at 43" and 50" feature VA pannels, from 55" and upwards they are ADS.
Both sizes catter to me, my question is, based on the panel performance alone, which would be more desireable? i can't decide

[MattyDaddy]

Omg!! Thank you much for doing this review!!!! I’ve spent hours and hours researching what 65” to go to from the 50” Q60 and what sound system I plan to purchase with the 65”. I was already sold on the QN90B but your reviews helped me understand the other options out there like the LG G3 or OLED route, etc!! You really seem to know what your audience is looking for! It is awesome!!

[jaceko]

@digitql trends what's the difference between qn 90C and qn 92C?

[Jinkguns]

Could you review the Samsung S90C 83"? Interesting that its an LG panel. Wonder if there is any benefits versus the LG C3.

[StationOutlook]

Caleb you're so great to watch love the channel.. would like to know your thoughts on the A80L tho
