Differences between TVs
QN65Q90R (2019) and QN65Q9FN (2018)

  • Backlight – Samsung claims Direct Full Array 16X³ technology on the Q90R and Direct Full Array Elite on the 2018 QN65Q9F TVs. These technology designations are invented for marketing purposes. The TVs have backlighting all over the screen, the backlighting is divided into zones, this allows you to adjust the brightness of the backlighting by zone. It is not known how many zones in the Q9 series TVs, the manufacturer does not disclose this information.
  • dimming technology Q90R Ultimate UHD Dimming, Q9F Supreme UHD Dimming. Both technologies work the same way.
  • The design in TVs, a form of legs differs.
  • The colors transmitted by TVs are the same, only in 2019, Samsung came up with a name instead of Q color, a new name 100% Color Volume with Quantum Dot.
  • HDR (High-Dynamic Range) is also a new name for the Quantum HDR 16x with no real differences. The following standards are supported on the 2018, 2019 TVs: HDR10, HDR10 +, HLG. All other names are advertising.
  • The processor in 2019 is called the Quantum Processor 4K, this is a new processor or the 2018 is unknown, but given the fact that there is nothing new on the 2019 TVs, there is a high probability that the processor of previous years.
  • Tizen 5.0 operating system
  • Added support for voice assistants Goole and Alexa on TVs in 2019.
  • Support AI Technology (artificial intelligence) in 2019, but in fact, the TV alone can not. It all depends on the programs with which the TV can work, while this is just an advertisement.
  • Easy Pairing – forgot to specify in 2019, but pairing with other devices works.
  • Also on the 2019 TVs is the new TM1950C remote control.

Let’s look at all the differences between Samsung’s Quantum 9 series TVs. Again, let’s note that the real differences between the 2018 and 2019 models are in the support of Google and Alexa voice assistants, and these programs can also be called artificial intelligence. Otherwise, these are the same TVs as in 2018.
