Samsung Neo QLED Samsung QN90F 115" 4K HDR Smart Neo QLED Mini-LED Review

The Samsung QN90F 115-inch is the TV you buy when you've already won. It's a spectacular, glare-proof monster for giant bright rooms, but its insane price is hard to justify for anyone but the ultra-wealthy.

Let's cut to the chase: the Samsung QN90F 115-inch is a monster of a TV built for one thing—dominating a massive, bright room. Forget subtlety. This is a statement piece with a mini-LED screen so big it practically requires its own zip code, and Samsung's anti-glare tech means you can actually see it without closing all the blinds. The one thing to know? It's a gaming and sports powerhouse first, a home theater centerpiece second, and it demands a very specific (and very large) space to make any sense at all.

The gaming performance is what really surprised us. With scores in the 98th percentile, this thing is an absolute beast for console or PC gaming. The 120Hz native refresh, VRR, and that 'Motion Xcelerator Turbo+' actually deliver. Fast-paced action stays crisp, with minimal lag. It's a bit ironic that a TV this huge feels so responsive, but the data doesn't lie. For a screen this size, that's an impressive feat of engineering.

Worth it? Only if your definition of 'value' includes having the single biggest mainstream TV you can buy. For 99% of people, no, it's not worth it. You're spending over $27,000 for bragging rights and size. You could buy a top-tier 85-inch OLED and a new car for the same money. But if you have a dedicated media room and money is no object, it delivers a unique, no-compromise big-screen experience.

The most direct competitor is the Sony BRAVIA 5 98-inch Mini-LED. It's still gigantic, likely has better upscaling and color accuracy out of the box (Sony's strength), and might save you a few thousand. But you lose 17 inches of screen real estate, which is the whole point of this category. For picture quality purists, an LG G4 83-inch OLED will destroy both in contrast and black levels, but it's smaller, not as bright, and you risk burn-in. The QN90F's play is sheer, unapologetic scale combined with brightness that fights glare.

If you're looking for the absolute best picture quality for your money, this isn't it. Go get an LG G4 OLED instead. If you want a giant TV but still care about value, look at 98-inch models from Sony or TCL. This TV is exclusively for the person who values 'biggest possible' over all else.

Our recommendation is incredibly specific. Buy the Samsung QN90F 115-inch only if you have a dedicated, large, bright room (like a great room or home theater), prioritize gaming and sports, and have a budget that doesn't flinch at five-figure TVs. For anyone else—even most home theater enthusiasts—a flagship 83-inch or 98-inch model from LG or Sony will offer better overall picture quality or better value. This TV isn't about being the best; it's about being the biggest and brightest.
