Rich functions bring the next generation of big screen new experience. Samsung Neo QLED QN90C evaluation

As the flagship 4K TV model born under the concept of Neo QLED, the product line of Samsung QN90 has received a lot of attention since its release. Among them, the new generation QN90C is equipped with Samsung's cutting-edge technology in terms of appearance and sound quality, and the newly upgraded intelligent Tizen system is built for the needs of users in Chinese mainland, bringing together many commonly used mainstream applications to create a smart home life scene that is more in line with domestic users. The excellent performance of this product in many aspects, such as image quality, sound effects and games, makes the current big-screen TV market feel refreshed. So what is the actual experience of Samsung QN90C? Next, we will answer your questions through actual tests.

Screen and viewing experience

One of the most powerful black technologies of QN90C is quantum dot matrix technology, which further optimizes the balance between brightness and color expression after upgrading on the basis of QLED. The LED elements used in the quantum dot Mini LED backlight technology are 1/40 of the size of ordinary LED elements, and more LEDs can be configured in the same size screen, which effectively reduces the halo effect brought by the upgrade of the hardware itself.

The screen surface of QN90C also adopts anti-reflection technology, which can avoid the bright sunlight in the room from interfering with watching the game at noon, and will not let the reflection of lamp light affect watching movies at night. Sitting in different positions in the living room, anti-reflection technology can reduce the interference of ambient light on the screen display.

The resolution of QN90C is as high as 3840x2 160, and it has built-in Samsung Neo QLED 4K processor, which has powerful performance and can adaptively optimize the experience through deep learning algorithm. The processor can optimize the viewing conditions frame by frame and improve the content quality.

Actually watching movies and pictures, we can easily see that the performance of QN90C in the black part is equivalent to that of OLED TV products, because the self-luminous display can be controlled, and the deeper black performance also improves the picture contrast. Exquisite light control and power distribution technology also better controls the brightness level of LED.

QN90C's powerful neural network can drive the quality of 3D depth images and enhance the depth of field. The true depth of field restoration technology can simulate the way the naked eye processes the depth of field by improving the foreground contrast. When you watch some pictures taken, the details of the foreground picture will be deepened without changing the background picture, which will make the mountains and buildings more layered.

QN90C also provides eye protection mode, pre-installed sunrise and sunset time, and the TV will automatically adjust the screen visual effect accordingly. Brightness and color decrease after sunset, and softer image effects can make eyes rest and relax better.

Because smaller light-emitting elements are used, the overall fineness of the picture is also better. Even if the color is very subtle, the Mini LED screen can be well presented. In colorful scenes, no matter the transition between light and dark parts, the reflection of light under different materials can be well shown, and the whole picture gives people a strong dynamic performance and is vivid and lifelike.

In addition to excellent hardware configuration, Samsung QN90C also supports HDR 10+ display technology, and dynamic tone mapping can adjust color and contrast frame by frame, even minor differences can be presented; With the support of Samsung Q HDR 32x, it can show the changes and details of the scene with rich and accurate colors and strong contrast, present deeper black and bright white, improve the contrast performance of TV, and provide excellent 4K video experience.

sound effects

As a product that brings excellent audio and picture experience to users, Samsung QN90C has also made great efforts in sound performance. Samsung's new top-level channel speaker upgrades Dolby's panoramic sound experience, and multi-dimensional stereo can bring a more immersive sound experience.

It provides users with OTS+ technology of sound and picture tracking, which can realize that sound can be generated in different parts of the speaker with the movement of the sound generator in the picture. The orientation change in the game brings more realistic restoration, and the surrounding auditory experience can bring users a better viewing experience, and the sound details can be clearly presented whether in the center or around the picture.

QN90C also has spatial adaptive sound effects, which can automatically detect the surrounding environment through sound sensors, measure the distance between the TV and the wall through sound reflection, and analyze the sound reflection effect in the room. Whether it is fixed on the wall or placed on the desk, it can bring a good stereo sound experience.

Gaming experience

QN90C supports 4K 120Hz motion enhancement technology, which provides a super-smooth game experience and effectively reduces delay and dynamic blur. With the help of AMD-certified FreeSync Premium Pro core technology, the card frame and picture tearing are reduced, and with the high-brushing function of the next-generation host, a series of smooth game experiences including high quality, high dynamic range visual effects and low delay are provided.

QN90C's excellent screen display effect has also been further optimized for the current console games and PC games, and the entertainment performance has been improved. XBOX's Extreme Racing: Horizon 5 is a classic racing game, which requires high equipment image processing and signal transmission capabilities. This time, we will evaluate the game performance of QN90C through this game.

In the actual game, Samsung QN90C provides a very smooth screen display. Even when the car is driving fast, the sense of speed of the whole picture remains smooth, the main body of the car is very clear, and the fuzzy performance around the scene is just right because of the sense of speed, without the slightest feeling of being stuck. The carefree feeling brought by the big screen is also incomparable to the general display.

QN90C also has excellent game fluency. Intel Dynamic Acceleration can support the refresh rate up to 4K 120Hz. Players can experience super-smooth movement in the game after turning on the high frame rate, and the picture of the car is still very clear under high-speed movement. The audio-visual tracking function can bring a better experience to the racing game, and the game sound can change with the change of the picture orientation, vividly showing the change of the racing orientation.

appearance design

At present, the design style of large screen and narrow frame has become the standard of TV, and Samsung QN90C has also adopted this design, and made some optimization in details, with the core concept of creating an immersive audio-visual entertainment experience, and bringing the most comprehensive screen experience to users through the simplest and effective design of large screen and narrow frame.

The design of QN90C border further weakens the vision by reducing the size, thus enhancing the screen impression. In terms of details, Samsung also considered the improvement of the viewing experience of the entire TV screen. QN90C's overall smooth appearance lines almost eliminate the boundary between TV screen and nature. The border with equal width around also makes the viewing effect very balanced.

Except for the extremely narrow design, the function is really simple, excluding almost all factors that will interfere with watching movies. Even the logo of the product has been minimized, so that the elements outside the screen are minimized, and the picture performance of the main body of the screen is more prominent when watching.

Samsung QN90C adopts Neo Slim design in design language. In addition to the narrow frame, the overall body is also very slim, and it will not take up too much space on the table. The bracket in the middle will not be limited by the length of the TV cabinet like the bracket with symmetrical sides.

In addition to desktop placement, QN90C also adopts slim wall hanging design, which greatly shortens the distance between the TV and the wall. After installation, it looks like a painting hanging on the wall, and it doesn't take up much space.

Samsung has refined some common elements in the design of large-screen products, such as the processing of the frame, the integrated design of the whole back, and the embedded interface and wiring to reduce the thickness of the whole machine, which not only highlights the screen effect, but also further enhances the user experience.

QN90C is also equipped with a solar remote controller, which can be charged through indoor and outdoor lights or USB interface, which is more durable than the traditional remote controller with battery.
