Why I recommend this Samsung QLED TV over its pricier OLED model - and don't regret it


Samsung's flagship QLED TV, the QN90F, performs well in our streaming and gaming tests, making it a great value for the holiday season.

My biggest complaint about the QN90F is that while it's easier to put together than the S95F, the software setup process is tedious and time-consuming, with almost endless privacy policies, license agreements, and suggested app lists to pretend to read or outright ignore until you can get to the home screen and download what you actually need. All in all, the Samsung QN90F is a solid buy if you're looking for a high-quality TV with excellent picture and audio quality, but don't necessarily want to spring for a more expensive OLED model. With a warmer picture and fuller sound, you get a slightly more enjoyable experience when watching older black-and-white films, but some games and movies with lots of colors might look a bit oversaturated.
