Get both the 10% off and 2yr free warranty:

Chat with an Expert
Ask for the 10% off, agent will link a cart, open it
Grab the code from the cart (right side itemized list)
End the chat with the agent (whatever reason you choose)
Chat with an Expert again
Ask for the 2yr Samsung Care warranty free
Agent will link a cart, open it
Enter the 10% off coupon code in the promo/referral box
Congrats, you now have 2yr warranty + 10% off
If you run into issues through Chat w/an Expert obtaining either promos or stacking codes:

Go to Order Support
Open chat support, the chat window will be slightly different
These agents have higher authority to produce different promo codes



I currently own 2x 85QN90B, both with 10% off + 2yr free warranty. Remember that Samsung's instructions to AGS is to a mandatory 2 man delivery past the door sweep; last mile delivery contracts by AGS through third party may not follow these instructions, be prepared to help carry your own TV into your home. Samsung also instructs AGS to allot 4 hours for delivery, take the time to unbox, inspect, setup, and test your TV with that 4hour allotment. If it has damages, non surface scratches, bad DSE, or the blooming is not tolerable (Open Netflix app, and watch the start-up logo as a good indicator) to your liking, then pack it back up and have the AGS delivery driver haul it back. Save yourself the headache of having to schedule it through FedEx Freight if you decide to return it.

Solo unboxing tips for testing:

Cut the straps cleanly and save
Remove the 2 black plastic lock-step clips from each side
Do not lift the slip top, instead open it, so you can easily part it in half
Remove all the accessories: top left remote + manual, top and bottom right stand
Remove the foam cover, and foam brackets
Use the left and right side bottom foam and flip horizontal and slip into bottom foam insert (creates a temporary stand)
You can plug the TV in and begin testing from here
If you want full view of the screen, then remove the foam insert bottom rear center (lift) then push the foam insert that's for the bottom center front, by pushing it out
From here you can begin assembling the stand
You will need to temporarily lift the stand to mount it to the mounting points on the TV by about 0.5in
If you didn't order White Glove delivery, then AGS is not required to help
You may get lucky and have a good AGS driver who will help though
All of these unboxing instructions are on the box itself, and an infographic inside


I've cycled through a total of 8x85QN90B, 2 delivered at a time, for a total of 4 deliveries. DSE was a major issue, ranging anywhere from vertical bars, horizontal bars, speckled blotches, to softball sized circles anywhere around the screen. It took 4 deliveries to finally get a panel where the DSE was limited enough and near the edges (no its not light bleed) to not be noticeable, and be tolerable for me. Blooming in certain scenes like the Netflix start-up logo cannot be helped, the AI logic is just not fantastic in that specific scene, but it's great base indicator for the worst possible blooming issue you can encounter on this TV. For other use cases, blooming is well managed, controlled, and hardly noticeable.

If you do not plan to pay for professional calibration but you want to adjust your TV to a good degree, I highly recommend checking out Classy Tech Calibrations, YT video on the recommend settings, there's also an AVSForum thread you can run through for the QN90B that will be helpful. Otherwise if you're a lot like my wife where the standard and dynamic options and overblown colors and saturation works for you, enjoy!

EDIT: Based on some responses, it seems Samsung may have finally closed this stacking loophole for 10% + 2yr, YMMV

I don't have any of the issues you have. That's unfortunate. I do however urge others to do some research on how firmware updates destroy the picture quality and render game mode completely unusable. For this reason I have kept my TV offline. You have to be careful too if you have other samsung devices they will try to pair and can then connect your TV to your wifi thru these other devices. Before anyone comments that you can turn off auto firmware updates, you are correct.... Except that samsung will push the ones they deem necessary anyways. Don't believe me? Just look up this model of tv and all the people who felt they had disabled firmware updates only to find the next morning that they now have a TV that looks worse and has no working game mode functionality. I believe it's firmware update 1420 that wrecks the hdr. Unless they've addressed this in a newer update, I'd keep this TV 100% offline.

The other thing that's shit about this TV is the massive volume panel that comes up when you want to change volume. No way to disable and it covers up a huge part of your screen. I thought adding a soundbar would remove that panel as the soundbar has its own display, but nope. Still there. I've learned to live with it but if you have to constantly change volume, just be aware.

The UI is complete trash. It's pretty unbelievable that they would push out this kind of UI on what is meant to be their flagship tv.

Having said that, if you can live with a "dumb" offline only tv, and the volume indicator, and fugly, and frustrating UI, then you might love this TV as much as we do. We have it in a bright room with skylights and it looks amazing. The hdr 10+ looks great and the colors are beautiful.

You'll want 2 people to set this up as the base alone feels like it's 30 lbs or so.

Hope this is helpful to someone.

Beautiful TV. I've had the 75-inch version for about a year now. Brighter than the sun itself.

Also have $200 off $2000 purchase via Amex Business Platinum with 2 or more purchases at Samsung. Probably buy a sound bar. Very slick deal. Shame I can't stack the samsung care. Can only do 1 promo code.

Actually, I don't think this qualifies for the amex offer. Shame but still good.

With the 2022 Models I don't blame you, the panel lottery is unreal. If it's of any value, my cousin also ordered this TV last time it was up for sale with the 10% + 2yr warranty stacked. His TV arrived nearly perfect, according to him it was perfect. I went to see it myself and found maybe a 3% blotch of DSE on the bottom right corner. Honestly, it took grey gradients and full white to see it, and even then it's a very light slightly low luminance dirty screen effect. Like most DSE, playing movies and tv shows you will not really see it. Unlike the unfortunate panels I received, where the low luminance was very outstanding, it was visible on most color tests, and though my family couldn't spot it during movies/shows playing, I saw it clear as day.

I am hearing good things about 2023 models though, not enough out there to substantiate the overall reports on panel lottery, but it does seem to fair better.
Please stop, if you have to look at test patterns you're always going to find imperfections on any and ever lcd based tv. As of now the only tv with limited to no imperfection is QD-Oled.

No QD- Oled larger than 77" and even at 77" you're paying $4k+ which is twice the price.

Be realistic, people such as yourself with ocd disorders will never be happy.

I bought an 85" Samsung 8K , of course with text there's blooming and when pulling up color charts you can see some screen uniformity, but other than that it's a spectacular tv that's very fast, responsive , extremely bright, great for gaming and overall for the price (I paid $2900) it's a happy medium as all tvs are within a similar price range.

There was a monthly dues or annual dues option. This is AAA Texas. Maybe it's different for other states?

30% width vertical low luminance bars on each 50% window is being OCD? I call it making sure I'm getting the value out of my hard earned money. Normalizing DSE/Uniformity problems due to mismanaged quality control is the problem. Value yourself and your time, and thus put more weight into your purchases is the better message.

The mid range 8k samsung TV is horrible for watching cable / directv/ OTA programs. Makes me dizzy.
There's no such thing as Midrange 8K tvs and that Volatile person has no idea what he's talking about.

Samsung 8K lineup are top tier premium sets, 800 lineup is cheaper because it lacks infinity bezel like the 900 and less dimming zones , but in actuality the 800 in several test areas measures brighter.

I own the QN800A 85" and in SDR content it's a light canon, main reason I bought is 8K lineup that year was only Samsung TVs with 4xhdmi 2.1 connection with 1 connect box

Show 10 people that tv screen and only you can see it…….

As stated only QD-Oled as of today are panels with minimal to no uniformity issues, but as stated limited to certain sizes and of course cost.

Any and every single LCD panel from any manufacturer will have screen defects, especially when you're looking for them. A backlight with multiple layers will always cause this.

You're quoting someone who owns an 8k 700B. To pretend tiered sets have no difference and to think upscale on 720 to 8k vs 4k is not noticeable is just being asinine.

Cup is half full was the point of that post. Literally I had 1/8 terrible panel lottery experience and I posted my cousin had 1/1. You're looking to argue about something, it's definitely not what you are claiming. Seems you are more annoyed that there are people who value themselves, their time, their money and take the effort to make sound purchases. Sounds like you need to take your own advice, cup is half full, learn to enjoy life and not dictate to others how to run theirs Smilie
