If you prioritize gaming and want the best colors out of the box, the Samsung QN90A might be the better choice. On the other hand, if you prefer slightly better movie and cartoon experiences, and you value voice commands for accessibility, the Samsung QN90C could suit you more. Both are premium, similarly priced models with excellent performance in bright rooms and strong contrast features. Neither will perform as well in a sunny room compared to other types, and they have similar sound quality. Give Feedback
