Samsung QN90F 97.5"

The QN90F 98-inch lands in the 95th percentile for display and 97th for audio, making it one of the best big-screen Mini-LED TVs we've tracked. It's a sports and gaming monster with a 120Hz panel, FreeSync Premium Pro, and an 89.8/100 sports score. But at around $15,000 USD and with picture quality at 79th percentile, you're paying a serious premium for size and brightness.

The display numbers are the story here. A 95th percentile display ranking puts this among the best panels we've measured, and the Mini-LED backlight with Neo Quantum HDR+ delivers the kind of brightness that makes HDR content pop even in a sunlit room. Samsung calls it glare-free, and while we don't have independent measurements, the combination of high peak brightness and the anti-reflective coating means you won't be closing the curtains for every afternoon sports session. The NQ4 AI Gen3 processor handles upscaling and motion, and the 120Hz native refresh rate with Motion Xcelerator 165Hz keeps fast action smooth.

Gaming lands in the 89th percentile, which is strong for a TV this size. You get four HDMI 2.1 ports, VRR, ALLM, and FreeSync Premium Pro, so a PS5, Xbox Series X, or gaming PC will all play nice. The 4.2.2-channel 60W speaker setup with Dolby Atmos and Object Tracking Sound+ is a standout at the 97th percentile for audio, which is rare for a flat panel. Most TVs this size sound thin, but this one actually fills a room.

Against the LG G5 OLED83G5WUA, the QN90F trades perfect blacks for sheer size and brightness. The LG's OLED panel will beat it on contrast and viewing angles, but the Samsung's 98 inches and Mini-LED brightness make it better for bright rooms and sports. The Sony BRAVIA XR XR77A95L is another OLED competitor with superior picture processing, but it's smaller and likely similar money. The TCL QM6K and Hisense U8 are the budget alternatives, offering Mini-LED tech at a fraction of the price, though neither matches the Samsung's display or audio rankings. If you want the biggest bright-room screen with strong gaming, the QN90F wins. If you want the best picture quality per dollar, look elsewhere.

At around $15,000 USD, the QN90F 98-inch is not a value play. You're paying a premium for the size, the Mini-LED backlight, and Samsung's processing. The picture quality score of 79th percentile is solid but not exceptional, which stings a bit when you consider what else $15,000 buys. The audio being in the 97th percentile does offset some cost since you might skip a soundbar, but that's a small consolation. If you want a massive screen with strong HDR and gaming chops, this delivers, but you're paying early-adopter pricing for a 2025 flagship.

The Samsung QN90F 98-inch is a statement piece that backs up its size with serious numbers. Our database puts its display quality in the 95th percentile and audio in the 97th, which means this thing isn't just huge, it's one of the best-performing panels we've tracked. The 4.5/5 rating across 955 reviews tells you owners are largely thrilled, and the sports score of 89.8/100 is the headline stat for anyone who watches live action on a big screen.

But let's be real about what you're getting into. This is a 61,400g, 227W beast that costs around $15,000 USD. The 120Hz native panel with Motion Xcelerator 165Hz and FreeSync Premium Pro makes it a legitimate gaming display, while the 4.2.2-channel 60W speaker system means you might not even need a soundbar right away. The portable score of 55.6/100 is the weakest area, which is a polite way of saying you'll need a friend, a truck, and possibly a structural engineer to get this thing home.

If you care about picture quality per dollar, skip this. The 79th percentile picture quality score is fine but not exceptional, and at around $15,000 USD you can get a smaller OLED with better contrast and color accuracy. If you have a dark dedicated theater room, an OLED like the LG G5 or Sony A95L will look better. And if you move frequently or live in a walk-up apartment, the 61,400g weight and 55.6/100 portable score should be a dealbreaker. This TV is for people who plant it once and never move it.

The Samsung QN90F 98-inch is a fantastic TV for a specific buyer: someone with a huge bright room, a big budget, and a love for sports or gaming. The 95th percentile display and 97th percentile audio are genuinely impressive, and the 4.5/5 owner rating suggests real-world happiness. But the 79th percentile picture quality and $15,000 USD price tag mean you're paying for size and brightness, not outright image perfection. If that's your priority, this is one of the best big screens we've seen. If not, a smaller OLED will give you better picture quality for less money.
