Samsung QE43QN90A Review - Trusted Reviews

With a 20W system at its disposal there’s little in the way of sonic fireworks. Dialogue is clear and crisp, but bass is limited; the dynamic range sees more fizzle than sizzle, and pushing the volume up doesn’t add much scale. For daytime TV it’s perfectly cromulent, though for gaming (or anything else that requires oomph), a pair of Bluetooth headphones or a compact soundbar would be better.The Samsung QE43QN90A is easily one of the most tempting offers out there at its size. As the only real competition to the OLED panels, which start from 5 inches larger, and with no real compromise between the quality of this and the larger QN90A sets, it’s a fantastic way to get the premium TV you want, without sacrificing wall space or rearranging furniture. The QE43QN90A’s connections are similar to its bigger siblings with 4x HDMI (3x 2.0, 1x 2.1), Ethernet, optical, a CI+ 1.4 connection, 2 x satellite tuners, an aerial and two USB 2.0 ports. With only one HDMI 2.1 port, there’s just a single slot for either an eARC supporting soundbar or game console which is a pity but not surprising at the size. Wirelessly, there’s Bluetooth 5.2 and Wi-Fi. Picture quality Multi-View lets you watch multiple sources simultaneously (two screens only), and there are various ‘intelligent’ AI modes such as Adaptive Picture, Adaptive Sound+, Active Voice Amplifier and Adaptive Volume to influence picture and sound through various sensors and microphones.

LG 55NANO766QA review - Which?

How much color and contrast can be tweaked by any one of the five picture setting modes. Standard tones down colors and brightness for a more natural picture that will look good in most living rooms, while Dynamic mode is a good fit for rooms with an abundance of natural light. Movie mode adds an almost sepia-like tone to the content, while Film Maker mode turns off motion processing completely for a more cinematic experience. All the modes have their pros and cons, but we found each to be enjoyable in their own way. But speaking of motion processing, it’s worth talking about the new Motion Xcelerator Turbo+ technology that’s used by the Neo Quantum Processor 4K. It’s slightly more judicious in the way it uses judder reduction, but stutter is still an issue because of the way the TV’s native 120Hz refresh rate. Basically, the TV can overprocess some images, giving films a soap opera effect or, worse, making some scenes that have a bit of a natural shaky cam effect look like something from the Blair Witch Project or Cloverfield – it’s non-stop shaking that can really be a turn off. LG has been, more or less, the first to integrate gaming tech. But not too far behind is Samsung, and while its TVs don’t boast as wide a breadth of features, their sets are speedy for response times. While there’s no Freeview Play for UK customers, all the catch-up apps are present individually. And Samsung’s Freeview alternative is in the form of its subscription-free TV Plus service with the likes of Vevo, Comedy Hub and Baywatch (yes, a channel devoted to Baywatch re-runs) available to peruse.Percentage Luminance drop at 35 degree horizontal angle from the centre of the screen with 50% white output Some songs sounded better than others, admittedly, and the Spotify app could get significantly louder than most shows, but the Samsung QN90A didn’t have a large soundstage or convincing holography. That’s severely disappointing as one of the highly touted new features of the Neo Quantum Processor 4K is AI Sound that promises a 3D audio-like experience. The reason I mention this for a 43-inch QLED is the recent trend for smaller sizes to serve as bedroom/gaming room screen for gamers looking for every competitive advantage. Subtitles and audio description information displayed on electronic programme guide programme banner If you’re at all familiar with Samsung’s QLED screens, you’ll know that their main bragging rights are down to how vivid and impressive the colours can be. There is absolutely no change here – just the addition of more realism and detail that the Neo LED array brings. With a greater control over more precise areas of the screen, skin tones are more realistic, colour gradients like in fading sunsets retain all of their brilliance, but with less loss of accuracy or ‘washing’ out the image.

Most small-sized TVs that pass by our test rooms are, it’s fair to say, not the most aesthetically pleasing. You could not lay that criticism at the feet (or stand) of the QE43QN90A. As a means of navigation the interface is simple to get to grips with, offering an arsenal of picture, sound and feature customisations at your fingertips.

Speaking of fingertips, Samsung supplies two remotes with the QE43QN90A: a standard model and less cluttered version that can be charged by USB-C or through its eco-minded solar panel that soaks up ambient light. Features With current-gen consoles and the introduction of the HDMI 2.1 standard, gaming has turned into a battleground where TV manufacturers look to appeal to the twitchiest of gaming fingers. But the benefit is fantastically bright images, allied with a wide colour range and super levels of detail and sharpness. The costumes in The Last Duel are revealed to their finest details, from the rivets in armour to jewel-encrusted tunics and threads of fur coats; nothing seems to escape the QN90A’s gaze. Close-ups of faces hold up impressively well in any film I watch, so – if it wasn’t already obvious in lieu of its size – this is a TV you’ll want to get up close to. As for the UI of Tizen, it’s a pretty clean look. Pressing the home button brings up an overlay along the bottom of the screen with your frequently used apps and sources as well as the settings and Ambient Mode. Ambient Mode, more or less, is a lower power mode that helps the TV blend into its surrounding environment while retaining some key information – like the time – up on the screen. It’s been around for a few years now and is still an interior decorator’s dream come true.
