According to our television expert
The Samsung QE65Q90R allows you to enjoy sharp and colorful image quality. This QLED TV produces a color level of 100%. As a result, you can see every subtle shade in the clouds or in the hide of an animal. Thanks to the high level of brightness, colors come to life on the screen. In addition to bright colors, black levels are also displayed realistically thanks to the Direct Full Array 16x local dimming. This technique darkens the dark parts of the image, while lighter parts are displayed extra brightly. Thanks to the Apple TV sync, you can watch all movies and series in your iTunes library. Or use AirPlay 2 to stream them from your iPhone, iPad, or Mac to the TV.

Samsung 65Q90R
design The design of the Q90R is minimalist and the TV has narrow bezels. The back is completely straight, so that the TV can be mounted very tightly on the wall by means of brackets. Samsung's No Gap Wall Mount. That is very nice and functional because there are no connections on the back of the TV, except for the special Samsung fiber optic cable connection for the One Connect Box. As a result, only a very narrow cable runs towards the TV furniture and a cable duct is a thing of the past. If I have to mention a downside, it is the thickness of the TV. Compared to an OLED TV or older generation Samsung LED TVs, that is a bit of a shock.
Image quality The image quality of the Q90R is clear, sharp and the colors splash off your screen. Just play with the default settings to fine-tune things! What surprised me most are the black values. Especially on the movie mode, I often have the idea that I'm looking at an OLED panel. This, together with the One Connect Box, is one of the biggest reasons for me to choose the Q90R instead of an OLED TV. Cons? Of course. I miss Dolby Vision, and sometimes the picture is way too clear.
smart tv When I compare the UI with LG, I personally think you take a step back when it comes to the different options and controls. I especially miss the pointer with which you control the TV with the LG remote control. But if I leave that aside, I am very happy with the speed and quality of the Smart TV functions. The apps start up quickly and are very stable. Furthermore, the Ambient Mode is funny, but I prefer to turn off the TV to save energy but also to keep the lifespan longer.
Sound The sound of the Q90R is better than many other comparable TVs. Often I feel like I'm listening to a budget surround soundbar! However, the bass decreases as you turn up the volume. But that's understandable. The built-in speakers are fine for normal TV viewing.
Conclusion After extensively testing the TV, I come to the conclusion that I don't have to sacrifice anything in terms of quality when I compare the Q90R with an OLED TV. Especially the One Connect Box and black values convinced me to keep this TV.

After a long wait, they finally came to install my device yesterday. I was immediately shocked by the size of the box. I already had a 50" TV, but the 65 is suddenly a lot bigger. I was pleasantly surprised how simple and smooth the installation was. You insert a small, narrow transparent cable that you can barely see into the TV and connect it to the ONE connection box.You provide this with power and then plug in all your connections (digibox, playstation, soundbar,...). Then you turn on the TV and it automatically detects all peripherals from which it receives a signal. I have the digibox manually I had to set up but it was also very easy and smooth. This way I could also suddenly pair the TV remote control with the digibox. As a result, I now only need 1 remote control instead of 2 as before. The remote control is also made from Stainless steel and feels very strong and high-quality. It is also equipped with all kinds of easy quick buttons for applications such as Netflix and others. Furthermore, I had to connect the TV to the network, but that was only a button push n on my modem and everything else went automatically. Once everything was set up and connected, I watched a series on Netflix in the evening and the 4K quality immediately stands out. It really is the best and most beautiful screen I have ever looked at. In the coming days I will delve a little more into all settings and extra functions, but so far the TV has met all expectations. Last weekend I delved into all the settings a bit more and the image you get is really breathtaking. Especially if it was also shot in 4K. The colors are really fantastic and the image is as sharp as if you would actually see it. The quality of the screen is especially noticeable during dark scenes. The only small disadvantage that I may find at the moment is that you can set too much and therefore at a certain moment no longer see the forest for the trees. Have also used the TV in combination with a PS4 and this was also a huge difference with my previous TV. Colors and image much brighter you are exactly in the game. I normally always use the TV in combination with a soundbar, but I also tested the sound without it and I was pleasantly surprised. Of course not the quality of an external sound system, but the TV did give a nice full sound with good bass. I really think it's a great device.

After much deliberation between a number of devices, I am very pleased that I have chosen this Samsung. With that one-connect box, everything was ready to use in no time. Previously 4 controls (TV, Telenet, Apple TV, DVD player) - now all in 1 and works intuitively. Even my 10 year old son mastered everything in 2 minutes and switched between everything in no time. Despite the size of the screen, the picture quality is fantastic. We imagine ourselves in the cinema with moments. That more than meets expectations. Netflix detects the device and upgrades to 4k for free: phenomenal. Razor-sharp on this large format, I would not have thought that possible, nevertheless impressive. I hope everything will be 4k soon anyway. You can also easily play with image properties. I think the dynamic view is the best for most applications, unless in bright light during the day, then the intense color mode is very interesting to have a comfortable image. It is interesting to mention the "Ambient" mode, because Samsung actually wants to position the TV more and more as an 'work of art' apparently, with access to the art gallery. The idea is interesting, the application is more difficult: you don't think about turning on the TV during the day, for example. In any case, very satisfied with this QLED, top product!
