- Discover the pros and cons of using a 4K TV as a PC monitor in my review. Here is my experience with the Samsung QN90 model after one year of usage, exploring its performance, picture quality, and overall suitability for PC gaming and productivity.

Everyone uses either a matte monitor or oled C2/C3. I also am in the camp of not wanting to worry about burn in because I want to use it as a productivity monitor as well as gaming. I searched all over the place for a review of QN90 TV as monitor since 1) it’s glossy, 2) beautiful colors and contrast, 3) perfect sizes, and 4) mini LED, and I couldn’t find any. The only review I found was yours! Thank you! I also don’t get why people don’t appreciate QN90 more!
Ive been using the 90b 43 for a year as a coding monitor, and it is infact the best PC monitor ever made, ironically. Just bought a second one for less than 800 bucks
I got the FV43u from gigabyte and love it 43" is great for gaming as it has the same pixel density as 27" 1440p. My only complaints are the response times on the VA panes can be a bit slow but other than that its great to have a massive bright 4k display. I used my QN90A as a monitor for a bit but found 50" to big still makes a great TV for movies.
Hey I'm with you, man. When I'm working or playing I do not want to have to worry about OLED burn-in if I've had the monitor on for too long or if is it too bright if I left it on when I go to the toilet etc etc...
Sitting close to a 32" TV I´ve used as a monitor degraded my eyesight quite a lot, went back to a 24" on armslenght distance. Parker Walbeck did it okay, looks like it´s about 1m away that should be okay.
Very nice screen, I bet games look damn fine on it.
I use a 65inch lg c2 with a corsair lapboard wireless keyboard and mouse combo.
Perfect for gaming on the couch. And streaming from my plex server.
65'' LG c2 OLED :) I'm jealous.
@@HardwareAccent was going for the 55 inch but my partner twisted my arm on the 65 in store lol.
I’m sure it was worth it. Size makes a big difference. You’ve got more of pure awesomeness.
I have the Lgc1 55 in tv. When i game in 2k vs 4k i see no difference because i sit far enough away. I stick with 2k because i get much more fps and i get to use ray tracing as well. I also use the 3080 10gb and the 5800x3d.
@@HardwareAccent, would you go for OLED if you'd have to chose again? Or you're still happy with QN90?

Thanks for uploading! Are you using input 3 or 4 to plug your pc into? Isn’t input 4 the only one with 4k 120 vrr support? Thanks
You don’t need HDMI 2.1 for 4k 120Hz VRR. You will need that if you want HDR and 4:4:4 as well. I get 4K 120Hz VRR while using any port, Radeon 5700XT that has 2.0 only and a normal HDMI 2.0 cable from my ps4. I use port 4 after upgrading my GPU.
This is a pretty hilarious video. And you're a fellow baldman enjoyer dood as well 😂
Does this allow for waking the screen from sleep by moving the mouse / pressing the keyboard, or do you need to manually turn the screen on and off, e.g., with a remote?
Unfortunately, you need to manually switch it on with a remote. Maybe some new models will do if automatically in the future.
@@HardwareAccent Thank you so much the response. Good to know, and it seems great otherwise. Cheers!
Hi from Brazil! I have the same TV but it's 43inch. How bad games will be if I play at 1080p but ultra settings 60fps+ ? I sit about 2fts from the tv
What GPU you have friend? You said it wasnt strong snough to do 4K in demanding games but im curious? I have 4080
I had Radeon 5700xt at the time of recording but I’ve upgraded to the 7900XTX in the meantime.
if the Samsung TV has a Samsung Soundbar connected via HDMI eARC will there be sound latency?
I don’t know for sure but I don’t think so.
I dont have a 4k tv I have a full hd tv but You can play a computer on a tv it's Possible cause it has an HDMI port.
I just keep the PC in the living room and have a gaming chair with a small side table that holds my wireless keyboard and mouse
What is the distance you sit off the screen?
I’ve never measured it and it’s hard to tell when your head is changing position. It’s rather normal sitting position but by a slightly bigger desk. It felt weird only on the first day and feels amazing since then.
I came here looking to see if the Q80c is compatible with my PC for gaming. Has anyone else tried it ? What do you think.
I see no reason why it wouldn’t work.
@@HardwareAccent thank you for your reply and excellent video. I think I will pull the trigger on this TV because you can’t find a gaming monitor with better HDR at this price
Those Va panels gets faster burn in than the new oled’s on the market.
I'm thinking of buying one it's £550 for a 43 inch q90c 2023. Says its an IPS panel. What make you think it's a VA?
@@peterfyal4998 55-65 are Va and 43 for sure is Ips and I think also 50 inch is on Ips panel. Dont buy 43 as monitor. I was thinking it will looks great due to glossy screen but image quality is not great on it. Go 42inch oled instead You will be more than happy
Are you going to be uploading?
Yes. I'm coming back.
@@HardwareAccent alright!
What's is the input lag in ns?
Apologies for a late response. According to rtings.com it's 5.3 ms at 4K 120Hz.
Ok
