Tom's Guide: Samsung QN90B review (hands on) — the best TV you can buy just got better

Jun 17, 2022

Nick Pino writing for Tom’s Guide:

“While there isn’t a ton to say about the design of the QN90B, there’s a great deal to say about its performance — in terms of brightness, this is a tough TV to beat. 

When we measured it, the Samsung QN90B came in at around 3,500 nits in a 10% window in its brightest HDR mode. That’s not only a big jump from last year, but it’s a number that trumps a number of other LED-LCD and OLED TVs from other manufacturers.

So how is Samsung doing this? Well, it’s a combination of the Mini-LEDs that power the TV, Shape Adaptive Lighting that we talked about earlier and the Neo 4K Processor that can reroute power to boost 10% windows of light. In less technical terms, the TV’s processor sees which pockets of Mini-LEDs need to be turned on to display the given content and then distributes extra power to those pockets.“
