Review on Samsung QN55QN90AAFXZA 55" Neo QLED 4K Smart TV 2021 Bundle + 1 Year Premium Extended Protection Plan by Koichiro Ogata ᠌

Revainrating 4 out of 5

Not a bad purchase, worth the money.

This model has excellent brightness and color reproduction. But with the default settings, the colors are so eye-catching that I had to turn them down a bit. The blacks here are so deep that in a dark room without lighting it seems as if the TV was simply turned off! White is normal, does not turn yellow and does not go blue. The difference between 4K@120 and 4K@60 is not as big as between 4K@60 and 4K@30, but it's not worth chasing after. In the 2022, models with diagonals of 55 "/65"/75" are supplied with an IPS-type display matrix (ADS), with diagonals of 50"/85" - with VA. It would seem, so what? the wildest flashes and halos of white on black. This is very conspicuous and annoying. No MicroLED and other marketing chips can save. The effect can be reduced by disabling a couple of options in the image settings, but then the image becomes dull and you still can’t get rid of it completely. I consider this a huge minus, unworthy of the top 4K TV model in 2022. Samsung explains this by a feature of the backlight in this model, and not by the type of matrix, and recommends using the TV in the light, and not in complete darkness (very funny). About viewing angles - it is believed that on IPS they are just better than on VA, but here it is not so, the brightness is immediately lost from the side and the color rendition is distorted. Moreover, these halos around white objects on a black background at an angle appear where, if viewed in the center, they were not there before! After a month of operation, 2 broken pixels were found in the lower left part of the screen (~ 15-20 cm from the edge)! One is visible on a white and green background, the second on a blue one. I turned to the SC, the master arrived with a new matrix, took a long time and sent it in the messenger. As a result, he said that the case was not guaranteed, took a new matrix and left! I made an appeal to the hotline - they confirmed that up to 3 dead pixels may not be covered by the warranty and this is stated in the instruction manual. Samsung, as always, is not loyal to customers. All in all, I can't recommend this model.
