What's great
- NO 2026 SUCCESSOR — R85H replaced this slot at much higher price
- Mini-LED + 144Hz
- Bright-room friendly (LCD, not OLED — no burn-in worry)
- Tizen + Samsung Gaming Hub built in
- Often discounted heavily as Samsung clears inventory
What's not
- Discontinued — limited stock
- Blooming visible vs OLED
- No Dolby Vision
What's new for 2026
Samsung eliminated the QN90/QN95 tier entirely for 2026. The replacement is the new R85H (RGB Micro LED, likely $4,000+) at the top and the QN80H at the bottom. There's NO direct 2026 successor to the QN90F.
If you want a Samsung Neo QLED at the QN90F's caliber, buy now before stock runs out. Once it's gone, you're paying 2× for the R85H next year.

Who should buy this TV

Skip if: You want 2026 features or guaranteed long-term parts/support.
Rick's final verdict
Rick's verdict: the last-chance Samsung Neo QLED buy. If you can find a QN90F at street discount, grab it. The 2026 lineup KILLED this tier — pay 2× more next year for the R85H or step down to QN80H. This window won't last.
Final score: 8.5 / 10 — Rick's 2025 Last-Chance Pick.
