Reviewers from digitaltrends have found:

Black levels on this TV are outstanding for LCD-based technology. Out-of-box color in the TV's movie mode is as accurate as one should expect from an uncalibrated display. You pay a premium for the Samsung Q90R, but in my opinion you get every cent's worth.

Pros

Outstanding black levels
Excellent off-axis performance
Excellent color reproduction

Cons

No HDMI 2.1 support

Reviewers from pcmag have found:

The Samsung Q90R is a 4K TV that supports high dynamic range (HDR) content in HDR10, HDR10+, and HLG. Out of the box, with the HDMI input set to the full color range, it almost completely covers the DCI-P3 color space, with spot-on whites. Greens and yellows are slightly undersaturated, but all colors are very nicely balanced with no noticeable shifting.

Pros

Excellent color and contrast
Excellent black levels
Supports HDR10, HDR10+, and HLG

Cons

Doesn't support Dolby Vision

Excellent HDR peak brightness
Low input lag
