Samsung QN85D, QN88D, QN90D, QN93D, QN95D for the United Kingdom

For Europe the same principle of ranking TVs as for the North American market, only more models, a large number of models in Europe Samsung always presents, this is due to two factors, the division of TV models by country in order to reduce warranty repair costs, and marketing, creating the appearance of a large number of TV models, with different prices. In fact, it is one model, only with screens from different manufacturers different number of speakers and limitations at the OS level, for example, calibration in the models QN85D and QN88D can only perform basic calibration, which is nonsense in 10-bit panels. Although the calibration itself is very conditional and done through the phone will have colossal differences with the true colors.

  • QN85D: The QN85D has a 2.2-channel audio system with two speakers and two subwoofers. It supports refresh rates up to 120Hz and calibration is only basic.
    QN88D: This is the same model, there may be some differences in the color of the stand design.
  • QN90D and modifications QN93D, QN95D: It supports a refresh rate up to 144 Hz, In models 55 inches and larger, the audio system is upgraded to a 4.2.2-channel configuration that includes four rear-facing speakers, two downward-facing speakers and two subwoofers for improved sound quality.

You may also notice that the models specify different local dimming technologies, and the QN90D model specifies the use of anti-glare display, but in fact all this is conditional, TV displays have been produced for quite a long time, mostly with anti-glare coating, and the local dimming system has changed about a dozen names during its existence.

In conclusion, we can say that all models of this series are good enough differences will be only because of the quality of the displays, but since we do not know the suppliers, and as we know Samsung all LED displays are purchased from other manufacturers, the quality of the image can be very different even in similar models.
