Our take on the Samsung QN65QN90A 4K QLED Smart TV (2021)
The Samsung QN90A is a 2021 4K QLED TV sold in a 65-inch size, built around a Neo Quantum Processor and a mini-LED backlight that drives high brightness and strong contrast. It runs Samsung's Tizen smart platform with Wi-Fi and Bluetooth, and its anti-glare coating keeps it usable in bright rooms. Reviewers rate it among the best LCD TVs of its year for HDR punch and gaming features, though some note blooming around bright objects and a narrow viewing angle compared with OLED rivals. It suits bright living rooms, sports and console gaming more than dark-room cinephiles.
- Very high brightness for HDR and daytime rooms
- Mini-LED backlight with strong contrast
- 4K at 120Hz with HDMI 2.1 for consoles
- Anti-glare screen handles reflections well
- Tizen smart platform with a wide app selection

Questions and answers
- Is the QN90A good for gaming?
- Yes. It supports 4K at 120Hz over HDMI 2.1 and has low input lag, which reviewers rate well for consoles. It lacks Dolby Vision but handles HDR10 and HDR10+.
- How does it compare with OLED TVs?
- It gets much brighter and resists glare better than OLED, so it suits bright rooms. OLED still wins on black levels, blooming and off-angle viewing.
- Does it support Dolby Vision?
- No. It supports HDR10, HLG and HDR10+ but not Dolby Vision, so Dolby Vision content plays in a fallback format.
- Is blooming a problem?
- It can be visible in dark scenes with small bright objects, such as subtitles or stars. The mini-LED dimming reduces it but does not eliminate it.
- What is in the box?
- The TV, its stand, a remote and power cable. A One Connect box is included on some sizes, so check the specific model.
- Is it good for a bright room?
- Yes. Its high brightness and anti-glare screen are its main strengths, and reviewers say it holds up well in daylight.
