QE65QN900ATXXU 65" 8K Neo QLED TV

Product Information

The QN900A ships with two remotes: a standard one and a smart version that’s the better of the two. Turn it over and there’s a solar panel that uses ambient light to charge it – a clever little innovation that requires no batteries. Features

Most importantly theQE65QN900ATXXU is 8K enabled meaning this stunning model is at the very cutting edge of technology and is also futureproof when content is upgraded to 8K! The Samsung Neo Quantum Processor 8K automatically fine tunes contrast, brightness and resulution to give you the optimum picture at all times. And heading the line is Samsung. The South Korean electronics firm has aggressively pushed the format, driving prices down to more agreeable if not always affordable levels. While LG has hoovered up gaming features left and right, Samsung still has the edge with latency. At 4K I measured latency at 10.1ms and at 120Hz you can expect that to be even lower.The Samsung QN900A has excellent SDR brightness, although it's not quite as bright as the Samsung QN800A 8k QLED. It has a fairly aggressive ABL, so scenes with large areas of brightness are dimmed, as seen in the peak and sustained 100% windows. That said, it still hits around 800 to 900 nits with real scenes, so it should be more than bright enough to overcome glare in a bright room.

We uploaded the brightness measurements and uniformity photos after running the TV for four months in our Accelerated Longevity Test. Whatever’s on the screen, see it in all its incredible glory with Quantum HDR 3000 powered by HDR10+. From gloomy shadows to sun-scorched scenes, watch every brilliant detail come to life from industry-leading HDR brightness. Plus, with Adaptive HDR10+ every frame is optimised to perfection, so the picture you see is as detailed as it is in real-life. The effect is brightness, sharpness and contrast are fed with more information, and watching standard definition content may not initially ‘wow’, until you realise the TV is guessing about 30 million pixels. With that in mind, the results are mightily impressive. Aside from this, Samsung's QN900A Neo QLED 8K is a television that's class-leading when it comes to design. With bezels that have been reduced to the point of nearly non-existent, speaker grills that are only visible from the side, and a minimalist stand that also provides additional functionality, the QN900A's design is what every TV manufacturer should aspire to.

Samsung QN900B

The alternative to Freeview Play is Samsung’s TV Plus service. Like Freeview it doesn’t require a subscription, with an EPG (Electronic Programme Guide) that lists VEVO, CNN, Bloomberg TV+ and a channel called Comedy (yes, really), as well as the Baywatch channel that’s an endless loop of all 9 series. The Samsung QN900A has superb HDR brightness. However, it's not as good overall as on the Samsung QN800A 8k QLED. It gets bright enough to bring out highlights in HDR content, but as with SDR, the ABL is really aggressive, causing the screen to dim when displaying large areas of brightness. Also, as shown in the EOTF, the overall brightness of scenes is a bit brighter than it should be.

The 8K models boast the Neo Quantum Processor 8K that uses 16 neural network models to upscale images. As Samsung explains it, the 16 networks are 16 cooks in a kitchen, each with their own speciality as opposed to one or two cooks working on a range of recipes. Focusing on one thing brings specificity. With YouTube the only place to easily find 8K content, watching the Ultimate Wild Animals Collection and the jump in resolution affords an exceptional detail levels. Whether it’s the fur of a deer, the wrinkly hide of an elephant or the scales of a lizard, you feel as if they’re right there in front of you. We measured HDR brightness before calibration in the 'Movie HDR' Picture Mode with Brightness and Contrast at max, Color Tone set to 'Warm2', Local Dimming on 'High', and all other image processing disabled. The design of theQE65QN900ATXXU is truely spectacular with impossibly thin bezels and stunning edges which Samsung calls the 'Infinity Display'. The Samsung QN900A is up to date with most of the latest gaming tech in Auto Low Latency Mode, Variable Refresh Rate, High Frame Rate (120Hz), as well as AMD’s FreeSync Premium Pro for reduced visual tearing and stuttering. Samsung TVs are also compatible with Nvidia G-Sync but not certified.One of the big selling points of any 8K TV is how well it handles upscaling. and thankfully the QN900A does a great job of making content look crystal-clear without any artificial smoothing. Take the above image of Alita as an example – it's clean and sharp, yet you can still make out its fine, film-like grain. With voice control and smart device compatibility, controlling your TV has never been easier with Bixby, Alexa, and Google Assistant built in. Use the connected stand to display your TV pride of place, or you can mount it to the wall – the choice is yours. To cap it all off, the design of this QE65QN900ATXXUQLED TV is second to none, with its super thin bezel and stunning looks which samsung call an "Infinity Display". View TV beyond all boundaries with this Samsung 65” 8K smart TV. The QLED display on the QE65QN900BTXXU offers a resolution four times higher that 4K, so you don’t just watch TV, you become a part of it. Innovative Technology Taking advantage of Samsung's Multi-Intelligence AI upscaling, the QN900A was consistently able to produce images that looked better than their source. We're not saying that it made any 4K content look like native 8K, but it did make it appear better than Ultra HD when viewed up close.
