If you're looking for an affordable TV and primarily watch content in a dark room, the Samsung N5200 could suit your needs despite its lower performance in picture quality and gaming. However, if you prioritize a high-quality viewing experience with vibrant colors and excellent brightness suitable for both dark and bright rooms, and if gaming, watching sports, or enjoying movies with the best picture quality are important to you, and you don't mind spending more, the Samsung QN90B is a superior choice. The QN90B also has better features for modern gaming and a higher number of HDMI ports, making it more future-proof. Keep in mind that the QN90B is also better equipped to handle reflections in a sunny room. Give Feedback

"The QN90B delivers one of the brightest pictures we’ve ever seen, showcasing HDR content better than just about every LCD/LED TV on the market. If all you’re planning on doing is watching cable TV, broadcast channels, and a fair share of streaming shows or movies, the QN90B is sure to impress. All four of the QN90B’s HDMI 2.1 ports support 4K gaming at 120fps a centerpiece feature of the Xbox Series X and PlayStation 5."
