The Samsung 55-inch QN90D 4K QLED TV is currently at its lowest price, dropping to $1,197.99 from $1,797.99, according to price-tracking tools. That’s a $600 discount on a TV that is reportedly impressive in color and contrast, making HDR content pop with its over-1,000-nit brightness, and offering rich black levels and a deep contrast effect, thanks to its mini-LEDs. It supports HDR+ and Dolby Atmos for immersive audio, though it’s worth noting that it doesn’t have Dolby Vision. For those loyal to Dolby Vision, the Hisense U8K, also on sale for $1,402.58 (down from $1,699.99), is a good alternative.
It’s well-equipped for connectivity with four HDMI ports (one with eARC), USBs, Ethernet, and more. Samsung’s solar remote is a nice touch—no batteries needed thanks to a solar panel that recharges it under light or via USB-C, if you prefer. However, the remote reportedly lacks a dedicated input button, meaning switching sources isn’t as quick as it could be, and reviewers note that some settings can be a little tricky to find, which could frustrate those who prefer a more straightforward interface.
Powered by Samsung’s Tizen OS, this model gives you access to all the major streaming services and supports Apple AirPlay for easy streaming from your Apple devices. You can also connect your Windows PC to function as an external display using Miracast. If you’re a fan of voice assistants, Amazon Alexa is built-in, and with the TV’s far-field microphones, you can use it completely hands-free. You’ll need a Samsung account to use network-based services—without one, you’ll be limited to basic channels and physical or external connections.
For gamers, the QN90D seems solid. With a 120Hz panel, it delivers smooth gameplay, and its 2.9ms input lag makes it super responsive. It even supports 144Hz for compatible PCs, has a Game Bar for on-screen adjustments, and gives quick access to game streaming services and platforms. That said, according to this PCMag review, it’s limited to wifi 5, so you won’t get the top-tier speeds of wifi 6 or 6E on high-end routers, which may impact streaming quality a bit.
