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.

VolatileVolition, i thumbs UP you!Applause I wish i have courtage to go through the hassle. You are right, its hard earn money paying up and one should deserve whats being pay which includes all the hassle..
Problem is, there's rarely a perfect lcd panel. If you spend enough time, you will find a flaw. Even oled have banding issues. Its just part of the tech.

Lol what? You seem like an insane person. Who orders 8 TVs, records the delivery man and makes him wait up to 4 hours every time while you check multiple TVs only to send them back? There is zero chance they allot 4 hours to deliver to one person. More like 4 minutes. They deliver it inside your front walkway, have you sign a paper and move on with their day delivering all the other items in their huge truck.

Glad so many who missed out on the deal a few weeks ago like myself were able to get it this time.

Now that I have the TV I need to decide if I upgrade to a Xbox Series X or stick with my One X and wait for a mid gen upgrade. Any thoughts on this???

Security Cameras are a thing? 4 Hour allotment is written right on the Bill of Lading and the Invoice. Sounds like you just sign paperwork without reading, I'd love to sell you a beach house in Wyoming.

This is *very* good TV.
Just something to be aware of: Samsung does *not* support Dolby Vision. And AFAIK, doesn't plan to. (I still don't understand this decision of Samsung's).

To be fair, my experience with Dolby Vision content vs HDR 10+ content has made me realize that both of them do a pretty good job. There are some advantages of one over the other (in both cases). Thus, I would rather own a TV which supports both.

Again, just something to think about.
Enjoy!

your post, though I'm sure not it's intention, did a great job of convincing me NOT to buy this TV.
