This is not the same Tv, you looked up a s85f, this is a qn90f.See the RT RATINGS below.
The Samsung QN90F is a great TV overall, as it excels in most contexts. It's extremely bright in SDR, and it handles reflections amazingly well, making it suitable for very bright rooms when watching sports or shows. Sadly, the TV's colors look a bit more washed out in bright rooms, and it's already not very colorful in SDR. Thankfully, it's extremely bright and colorful in HDR, with very good black levels, which also makes it a very good option in reference conditions, as highlights pop next to the TV's very deep blacks. Unfortunately, the TV's black levels suffer in Game Mode, with noticeably slower zone transitions, which offsets the TV's otherwise responsive Game Mode performance.ProsVery good black levels with little blooming.Excellent HDR brightness for impactful highlights.Incredibly bright in SDR.HDMI 2.1 bandwidth on all four ports, all capable of up to 4k @ 165Hz with VRR support.Colors are bright and vibrant in HDR.ConsBlack levels are noticeably worse in Game Mode.Slow pixel transitions in Game Mode leads to blurry motion.
I'm quite disappointed with my QN90F TV purchase, largely due to the performance of its AI features and color processing. When I enable the AI enhancements, the picture quality suffers significantly; specifically, the 'contrast enhancer' creates harsh extremes, making faces appear glaringly bright against pitch-black backgrounds, which makes content like movies difficult to watch. This results in miscolored images, such as people having an unnatural green tint to their faces. The experience is further worsened by another frustrating issue: when watching Netflix, the captions inexplicably change brightness from normal to extra bright, and the TV's settings cannot control or stop this behavior. It's frustrating to have paid a premium for features that seem poorly implemented and untested. The only redeeming quality is the effective anti-reflection matte screen.
