Samsung knocked it out with sound quality, picture quality including the glare-free layer, and its gaming features. Right now, I think Samsung is second-to-none when it comes to TVs and their gaming features.
The Samsung QN90F is a very good TV overall, as it excels in most contexts. It's extremely bright in SDR, and it handles reflections amazingly well, making it suitable for very bright rooms when watching sports or shows. Sadly, the TV's colors look a bit more washed out in bright rooms, and it's already not very colorful in SDR. Thankfully, it's extremely bright and colorful in HDR, with very good black levels, which also makes it a very good option in reference conditions, as highlights pop next to the TV's very deep blacks. Unfortunately, the TV's black levels suffer in Game Mode, with noticeably slower zone transitions, which offsets the TV's otherwise responsive Game Mode performance.
The Samsung QN90F delivers even better picture quality than its QN90D predecessor, and is a great all-around TV for movies, sports, and, of course, gaming. Samsung’s Glare-Free screen tech lets you watch in bright rooms without any performance compromises, and the Wide Viewing Angle feature ensures that pictures look uniformly good from a range of seating positions. The TV’s built-in 4.2.2-channel sound system is solid, and there are special processing modes to enhance dialogue. While it’s pricey compared to the mini-LED TV competition, the QN90F’s combination of performance, features, and design helps it stand out from the crowd. It's the new mini-LED TV to beat for 2025.

Samsung's flagship 4K mini-LED TV, the QN90F Neo QLED, offers a stunning picture for a very high price.
