My Favorite Amazon Deal of the Day: Samsung QN90C Series Smart TV
Amazon’s Memorial Day sale has some great deals on tech products through May 27, including great deals on TVs. If you’re looking for a budget TV, the Hisense 50U6HF is a great option (it also comes with a free $50 NBA gift card), but if you’re looking for a more impressive TV, consider the 55-inch Samsung Neo. The QLED 4K QN90C TV is currently $997.99 (originally $1,997.99) after 50% off at Amazon. The QN90C brings you closer to the picture quality of an OLED TV without the brightness issues or expensive price of OLED.
When Samsung’s QN90C series came out in early 2023, reviewers like IGN harshly criticized it for its high price, which makes sense considering it was very close to the price of OLED TVs without this technology. But after a year and some changes since release, the QN90C’s price has dropped to a more realistic price. The 55-inch TV in particular is much cheaper than other TV sizes and offers a great deal for those looking for more than just a budget TV. If you are looking for a TV to watch TV and shows, the Samsung QN90C is a great choice. But if you’re looking for a gaming TV, you may notice problems with local dimming as it tries to determine how much brightness to provide as it transitions from dark to bright areas, according to IGN’s review.
The QN90C has a 3840 x 2160 resolution, a 120Hz refresh rate and an incredibly bright screen that reaches 1987.34 nits in Filmmaker mode when viewing HDR content. The TV is equipped with four HDMI 2.1 ports and two USB ports and is equipped with a Tizen OS interface. This means you can use Samsung TV Plus streaming to watch over 350 live TV channels without having to download or subscribe to anything. It’s also worth noting a nice touch from Samsung: the remote is rechargeable, so you don’t have to worry about buying batteries.
