Samsung QN90D 43-inch
Score: 82/100Rankings
The VIZIO 55-inch V-Series 4K TV combines Dolby Vision HDR with sub-10 ms gaming latency, VRR and Wi-Fi 6E for an immersive, low-lag experience. Its smart interface can feel sluggish and the app selection is limited. It's perfect for budget-focused gamers and streamers.
The Samsung QN43QN90D 43-inch Neo QLED TV offers vibrant HDR colors, Mini-LED brightness and premium gaming features like 144 Hz HDMI 2.1 support. Its SDR accuracy and lack of anti-glare coating can be drawbacks in bright rooms. Best suited for gamers and viewers who prioritize performance and color fidelity.

Professional reviewers commend the V-Series for delivering premium-grade Dolby Vision HDR and fast Wi-Fi 6E connectivity at a budget price, while highlighting its sub-10 ms gaming latency, VRR support and innovative engineering that earned CES accolades. However, they criticize the VIZIO OS for a limited app catalog and a sluggish interface that falls short of competitor experiences.
Everyday users love the TV's crisp 4K picture, excellent HDR performance and ultra-low gaming lag, especially when paired with consoles. They appreciate the easy casting options but repeatedly express frustration with the slow, laggy smart-app UI and the absence of certain native streaming apps, often resorting to external devices for a smoother experience.
Professional reviewers commend the QN90D for its vivid HDR colors, robust gaming features with full HDMI 2.1 support, and the AI-driven NQ4 Gen2 processor that lifts picture quality. However, they point out that the out-of-the-box SDR accuracy is merely passable, the Game Mode reduces brightness, and the lack of an anti-glare coating hampers performance in bright rooms, while the built-in audio is modest compared with larger sizes.
