Despite lacking object tracking sound, the Samsung Q90T remains a good choice for gamers and HDR movie fans due to its wide viewing angle, HDR 10/10+ support, 4K resolution, high peak brightness, and elegant design.

Overview

Announced in 2020, the Samsung Q90T is a mid-range 4K UHD display that delivers stunning colors and features local dimming to produce deep blacks for dark room viewing. The Smart TV is great for gaming thanks to support for both FreeSync and Variable Refresh Rate technology, and movie fans will love its wide viewing angles courtesy of its Ultra Viewing Layer.

our Verdict

The Samsung Q90T is a great choice for gamers and general users alike. It supports HDR10 and HDR10+ content, has an HDMI 2.1 port for next-gen consoles, quick response times, high peak brightness, and a full array backlight for enhanced local dimming. Unfortunately, it doesn’t have object tracking sound, but it still offers a 4K quantum processor, high contrast ratio, and comprehensive coverage of the DCI P3 color gamut.
