On paper the Samsung QN90A is an excellent gaming TV in this gaming exclusive review we take a look at the gaming capabilities of the QN90A 55 inch TV and see if it lives up to the hype or does it fall short of being a good gaming TV? We will look at a number of different things and talk about why it is or isnβt a good gaming TV based on black levels, blooming, motion, latency / response time and even more Q90T gaming comparison footage!

11:14 β Side By Side Gaming vs Q90T
I tried to show off a variety of games and filmed my QN90A to capture as much detail as I could (it was the best way I could do it hope you like it) please understand that sometimes the camera may have the TV appear to show blooming (like the Star Wars clip) but in the game there was no blooming happening on that scene. Also I mistakenly said 12-13 ms on 60hz, it is actually 10-11ms so I just wanted to correct that.

This Tv is amazing, I hope price will drop on Black Friday!
Another great video ! Thereβs definitely a lot of casual gamers who pretend to be hardcore gamers when reviewing TVs : so your videos are a welcome change esp having a whole dedicated video to gaming for a tv – I think thatβs great .
I donβt think Iβll be going for a QN95 for my main tv but if thereβs a good Black Friday sale I may pick it up for another room . I get the criticism that Samsung over price their TVs but I think they have so many frequent sales that it kinda cancels out
Great review..i have samsung q90r and game mod is too dim so i play in standard mode because i love high peak brightness,now im thinking to get this new qn90a
You have some kind of NDA to not show details about 21:9 and 32:9 modes? π
Why did this dude not show the aspect ratios? Thatβs a big selling item of the tv.
I'm gettin this set in two days (65"). Can't wait. Thanks for puttin up this video, especially the tips about the different settings in VRR mode.
Anything I missed in this video? Let me know by replying here. Iβll try to fit it in the actual QN90A full complete review!
In your previous video you said q90t is better in terms of brightness than qn90a, but in this video you said it's the brightest TV..
Literally everyone is trashing this TV but you lol. Also, ABL on Oleds only kicks in on 100% full field which is very rare. Explosions certainly do not cause ABL to kick in. I don't know… I've lost faith in Samsung after the disaster the Q90T turned out to be. My Samsung Q8FN literally wiped the floor with my Q90T which I returned a week after purchase. Good video though!
How is this tv compared to the Q8fn?
Do all the ports support VRR?
Great video man! Was wondering if you could do a video on the Multiview feature. Ideally, Iβd like to be able to play my ps5 while watching Netflix
Another great video. Glad to have a real gamer that cares about the best picture quality for gaming. I'm on the Series X with a 55 inch Samsung Q8FN. Has terrible uniformity issues though, so looking to upgrade.
I hope you can get your hands on a LG G1 at some point for some comparisons to the QN90A. I feel like I'm going to go with that OLED, to get away from the DSE, but things can change lol. If I had the money, I'd buy both. I know how the Samsung works, and I have the brightness.
Just a reminder: You automatically have a BFI in Game mode which runs on a 120 hz frequency, activating LED Clear motion just reduces the frequency to 60.
Good video…. the settings and review, more then ever , apply only to this size you have. The 65β and up QN90A all have different zone counts, and maybe even nits. This was annoying thing for me as 99%of reviews for the Q900R, my tv, lumped the only affordable sizes with the larger sizes that were much more money . Rtings is the biggest culprit as they refuse to say 75β and larger has 1000 extra nits. The 75β is a completely different set and hits 3200 nits 10% window calibrated, and 2700 nits in game, putting hdr pop only behind the z8h or z9g, but with no blooming in the bars. Anyway, this doesnβt look like much of an upgrade, but please post if you get a 75β or 85β QN90A , that could be interesting. Thanks
Great Video as alwaysπͺ
Awesome vid buddy. If Sonys X90J LED wont blow this away. I will definetly buy the QN90A come BF ππ»
Oh, I allways lower the gamma. Best for a dark room by far IMO π
Awesome video. Thanks for running through several different games. Mine shipped today. Looking forward to replaying Skyrim on it.
Not really impressive considering PQX gets over 2k nits π€·
I can only see two type of reviewers right now on YouTube.
1. Bashing this TV.
2. Love this TV.
Leaving me as a consumer in a complete confused state. I will wait for rtings review for final decision.
I legit watched a review of this tv(won't call out the youtuber but he is an installer wink wink) and he did a comparison video where all he did was jacked up the brightness to its highest setting on the 90a them complained about its picture…. im not joking lmao. Calibration is so important and I'm glad I found a review of someone who actually understands this. Thank you bro.
I'm waiting for the next tvs oled version samsung without burn in
not bad at all but would def go with cx or the new g1 in a dark room.
Amazing review! Can't wait to get this Tv. I was just wondering will the QN90A come in a 75 inch, some stores in the UK only stop at 65 inch for this model. So I am confused as whether it comes in a 75 inch or do I have to move a model up to get a bigger screen? Can you please clarify?
Nice video as always KG..
I am still holding out to see what Sony will offer and I am curious about Hisense and TCL as well. But it's mainly going to come down with this TV and Sony. I could go OLED but I just don't want to deal with the stress of burn in. I use my TV as a PC monitor and do everything. So it's a lot of hours, with movies, gaming, internet browsing and videos and so on.
Great review, do u maybe review LG C1 when is release it….
Awesome review and thank you. Question, so it looks like it only has One HDMI 2.1 port unfortunately. Is there a way that Samsung can do an update to have more than one HDMI port?
Have you heard something about QN85A USE IPS panel?
1) did they ever fix all the reverse ghosting issues with the q90t where you had to have game motions+ enabled? 2) does this set have the same issue?
Great review. I have the Q80R and Q90T, and I love how airplay 2 works on the 80R vs the 90T because it just instantly shows your content in full screen on the 80r as opposed to multi view on the 90T. How does it work on the Qn90a?
Nice video, can you compare this against CX or 90T last year, thanks.
Dude I bought the QN90A 65 inch and let me tell you AMAZING! One thing the input lag is lower from what I read I believe 10ms in 4k60 and 6-7ms 120hz but I'm not 100% I guess ratings will publish shortly
Great video as always!!
1:48 see that on an oled, and the rest meh xd
Hey KG. Best regards from Turkey!
I like your videos and trust your opinions. You said in one of a video you have oled also. Is it possibble you make a side by side video of oled & qn90a ..
I had lg c7 but cause of burn in Δ± return it and now planning to buy qn90a but also afraid for if qn90a has a worse picture than c7.
Your opinion and video would help me lot.
Thank you already. Take care of yourself good buddy.
Thankyou for this video. I was really looking forward to this tv until certain youtubers dissed it with their honesty. Now I threw the idea of this tv in the bin….up until the well known reviewers like Rtings gave it a really good review.
So why are some "supposedly honest" tubers dissing it, and dissing it in favour of oled? And some of these tubers even praised the qled and dissed the oled for gaming a year ago?
….So why the qled hate now…..maybe lg have payed them heartily for their "honest" review.
Blooming clearly noticeable in that skyrim shot.
If you bought OLED I think you will keep watch OLED and forgetting LED
buy LG OLED G1π€©
Samsung is the best with LED
LG best with OLED
What switch were you using? I have been having a hard time finding a 4k120hz switch between my PC and Xbox.
This is a really good review. I mainly use my TV for gaming and most reviews only have gaming as a cliff note at the end of a video. Great stuff
