Initially I bought the Samsung 9-series (top of their Neo QLED 4K line) 65" QN65QN90A to replace my 15 plus year old Panasonic Plasma TV, and was beyond disappointed and preferred the picture clarity of the 15 year old plasma over the brand new Samsung, so returned it and researched further and bought a competing technology OLED and found the Samsung Neo QLED pixel bleed-over from bright pixels into dark pixels across an entire screen full of typical video picture is far more noticeable than you might initially believe, and, like me, probably wouldn't notice in a showroom with all the bright overhead lights creating reflections and glare, but becomes noticeably annoying in the real-world dark evenings viewing. I bought the competing LG OLED C1 - immediately noticed the drastic improvement in picture quality/clarity of the LG OLED over the Samsung Neo QLED - LG OLED is what ideal HDTV picture quality is expected to be - perfect blacks unaffected by bright pixels bordering the dark pixels eliminates the slight fuzziness / blooming of the Samsung you might overlook in the showroom. The Samsung user interface is also full of programming bugs that haven't been corrected by Samsung over at least 3 separate model years. Talking with a neighbor with a low end Samsung from 3 model years prior, I found they have the exact same Samsung GUI interface glitches, bugs and poor functionality as the 2021 model year high end 9-series Neo QN90A , meaning Samsung hasn't bothered to correct and improve simple lines of programming code for over 4 years. For instance, certain Settings submenus would be randomly grayed out / disabled for no reason (including primary functions like Picture for changing Brightness/Contrast/Color Mode etc, and Broadcast for scanning over-the-air OTA HDTV channels - simply turn off the Samsung TV power and turn back on a second or 2 later and the menu option becomes enabled again. Many advanced functions deep in the nested Samsung menus would be grayed out or when selected say 'This feature not available' - leaving you unsure if it is because of the random menu disabled programming bugs or the feature really isn't available on this model (then why would it be listed in this model's menu structure, easy to hide with simple programming and model-specific 'properties' files). The Samsung program guide often defaults back to the eastern time zone even though the TV is connected to the internet, showing the wrong TV Guide time period, once you change a channel, Samsung logic then re-reads the time from whichever source (internet, OTA broadcast signal, internal TV BIOS clock) and shows the correct time and program guide time period again - there is no problem with any other computer or device connected to the internet and the router timeclock remains with the correct time while Samsung programming logic is confused. For OTA channels, you can't manually add a single channel, Samsung needs to rescan all channels which takes longer and you lose far distant channels that come in and out of signal strength. Your favorite channels also get reset by Samsung's scanning and possibly other functions. There were numerous other inexcusable Samsung glitches I've already purged from my memory. All of which my neighbor with a lower end model 3 years earlier has the same Samsung programming bugs. The remote control trys to be minimalist with few buttons - that simply translates to a lack of quick functionality while being constantly irritating to use. Do yourself a huge favor and go with OLED technology, or at minimum avoid Samsung's buggy user interface with another brand. Read full review

Bought as replacement when my Vizio picture was going out. Remote takes some getting used to but it's fairly easy to master do wish it was backlit for use with dim light. I did have to tweak the picture settings from the factory settings as it was too bright in the room and the color was so intense the white had a slight pinkish tinge. I would recommend this to anyone plus the price couldn't be beat.

Samsung QN90A TV purchased with slight blemish in lower left of screen. The picture and sound of this TV are high quality. The picture is very bright with amazind colors and blacks are almost pure black. Very happy with this TV purchase and the price was extremely good. The TV arrived in the original box and was very easy to set up.
Verified purchase: Yes | Condition: Pre-owned
The remote could be easier to use. It should have a light for dark use.
Verified purchase: Yes | Condition: New
Best TV I've ever owned. Brilliant picture, perfect for my living room. Bright enough to overcome ambient lighting (lots of windows in the room), and very, very sharp.
