I ordered the 55″ QN85B to use as a computer monitor, because it was the brightest IPS monitor on the market, with the best anti-reflective coating (at least based on my research). It certainly delivered. Previously, I was struggling to see anything on my 43″ 4k Dell monitor, because I have direct sunlight hitting the screen at a 45 degree angle. The anti-reflective coating on the QN85B handles indirect reflections nearly perfectly, so the image is perfectly clear, whereas the Dell monitor is completely illegible. I can highly recommend this TV if you are in a situation where sunlight will directly be hitting your screen at a side angle.
Based on the research at rtings, it seems like QN90 has superior contrast compared to QN85 in a dark room, but I think the QN85 comes out on top in direct sunlight, due to better suppression of indirect reflections. Though I cannot directly support this claim (as I don’t own both TVs), I can confirm that the QN85B performs splendidly in direct sunlight.

The local dimming processing is miles better this year. If you sit straight on when looking at your TV, this is the better choice than the qn90b for your money. If you sit at an angle, get the qn90b. The viewing angles are not the best but sitting straight on the TV is flat out amazing. Im coming from the qn85a and this is a MASSIVE upgrade.
