Our Verdict

Samsung QN90C/QN90CD QLED

Samsung S90C OLED

In most ways, the Samsung S90C OLED is better than the Samsung QN90C/QN90CD QLED. Due to the S90C's nearly infinite contrast ratio, it displays perfect blacks with no blooming around bright objects. The S90C has a much wider viewing angle, so it's the better option for watching TV as a group, and its wider color gamut delivers more lifelike colors. The S90C is also better for PC gamers due to its 4k @ 144Hz support. However, the QN90C has better SDR brightness, so it's better if you primarily watch TV in a very bright room.
