In 2025, the Samsung QN90F is tasked with taking on the mantle.
I recently spent several hours with the QN90F and familiarized myself with its place in the2025 Samsung TV lineup.
At the time of publishing, the price of the 115-inch QN90F has not been announced.
It lifts the panel by over three inches, allowing enough clearance for most soundbars.
While not as wafer-thin as an OLED, the QN90F sports an impressively svelte display.
Many TVs get wider around the midsection to accommodate internal hardware, but the QN90F features a uniform profile.
In a pinch, the Solar Cell remote can charge via USB-C, too.
If youre familiar with the design elements of Samsungs Neo QLED series, there arent any surprises here.
The QN90Fs physical appearance is the perfect table-setter for its sensational picture.
Known as specular highlights, these picture elements are an essential aspect of HDR performance.
For truly impactful HDR, specular highlights need to be bright enough relative to the rest of the scene.
Its high-end performance is evident when you throw on some HDR content.
I spent a good amount of time watching HDR movies on the QN90F, including Conclave and Wicked.
Most impressive is the QN90Fs local dimming performance, which seemingly improves with each passing year.
you could expect to see this during opening title cards, or when subtitles appear during low-light sequences.
One slightly disappointing aspect of the QN90F’s performance is its color volume.
Such are the benefits of quantum dot-enhanced OLEDs.
Im not sold on Samsung Vision AI.
Samsungs software has been refreshed this year, and for the most part, the changes are positive.
Additional AI-based features were far from engaging.
I’m sorry to say that neither of these intrigues me.
The QN90F’s list of gaming features are among the most thorough you’ll find on the market.
Until then, we’ll be keeping our eyes on this cutting-edge Mini-LED.
