Which units this covers, and how to tell yours is one of them
Every answer below is scoped to these model identifiers. A neighbouring model in the same line can use a different part, a different reset sequence or a different radio, so matching the identifier before following a procedure is the step that decides whether the rest of the page applies to you.

What is true of this model and changes how you fix it
These are the properties that decide which procedure applies. Each is read from the manufacturer’s own published figures for this model, not carried over from a sibling that shares its retail name.
- Panel — Mini-LED LCD
- 2022 Neo QLED Mini-LED LCD with Quantum Matrix dimming — very bright, but a backlight, so blooming/halo around bright objects and raised dark-room blacks are normal LCD behaviour, not a fault.
- No Dolby Vision
- HDR10, HDR10+ and HLG only — no Dolby Vision, like all Samsung TVs.
- Smart platform / gaming
- Tizen with Smart Hub, Gaming Hub and Game Bar. Four HDMI 2.1 ports, native 120 Hz panel, with 4K 120 Hz VRR and ALLM. Update at Settings › Support › Software Update; screen share Smart View / AirPlay 2.

Exact questions
Questions that only have an answer for the Samsung QN90B Neo QLED TV
Each answer below uses this model’s own published figures. The same question asked about a different model in the line has a different answer, which is why it is answered here rather than on a general page.
Does the Samsung QN90B do 144Hz?+
The QN90B is a native 120 Hz panel, so console gaming runs at 4K 120 Hz with VRR across all four HDMI 2.1 ports. 144 Hz on Samsung's 4K Neo QLED arrived with the 2023 QN90C's VA-panel sizes and later; on the QN90B, 120 Hz is the ceiling and is not a fault.
