![]() Verity has been a technology journalist for 15 years, starting her career working for the rather questionably named "Boys Toys" magazine, before its editor moved to an up-and-coming website called Pocket-lint, and brought her on board as staff writer. Whether you spend that on one of Samsung's QD-OLED TVs or its Neo QLED (Mini LED) displays will be down to personal preference - you can read our guide to TV tech to help you understand the differences and the benefits, and help you choose. Still for most people, the best 4K TV your budget can stretch to is going to be our recommendation. ![]() They're considerably cheaper now, while stocks last, and the tech on board isn't hugely different to this year's TVs. If 8K intrigues you but your budget is a little more humble, it might be worth looking at last year's sets. That is undeniably great, but of course comes at a cost - so you'll need a big budget to make 8K a reality in your house. There is next to no native content that can make the most of all those extra pixels just yet, so for now you'll be relying on the upscaling technology. How to choose the right Samsung TV for youĪs we mentioned above, Samsung sells a TV using just about every kind of TV technology going, offering up OLED sets via its QD-OLED range, its Neo QLED range - which uses Mini LED technology, and probably one of the broadest 8K TVs ranges you can buy.įor us, the benefits of 8K TVs are there but still a little limited to recommend on a wide scale. This set gets OTS+ instead of Pro, with eight speakers offering 70W of sound in an Atmos-supporting 4.2.2 channel configuration. ![]() You'll take a step down in the sound capabilities though. The design here is called the Infinity One, and has a very slight black matrix around the edge of the picture that the Infinity screen doesn't, but because the One Connect box is still supported here, the TV is suitably slim and great for wall mounting. There are also some subtle design changes, for those looking carefully. Depending on prices, you might feel like the trade off is worth it. That's still a very bright screen, and with support for ALLM and VRR alongside 4K/120Hz video, should still be great for gamers. The biggest differences here are you'll lose the 144Hz refresh rate in exchange for a 120Hz capability and it'll also be less bright too with fewer dimming zones - Samsung told us to expect peak brightness to be around 2000 nits. The smaller two sizes (43 and 50 inches) keep PC gamers on side, with support for 4K/144Hz, but it drops to a 120Hz panel in the other sizes, so 4K/120Hz gaming is still covered across the range with support for VRR and ALLM.Ī step down from the QN900C is the QN800C, which is still an 8K Neo QLED panel with the more advanced Neural Quantum Processor of its big brother, but with a few tweaks. That usually suggests that the company thinks this will be a popular model, so here's hoping the pricing fits accordingly. This model comes in a fair range of sizes, including 43, 50, 55, 65, 75 and 85 inches. We've seen it in action, and it really does make a big difference. This is the model where Samsung's anti-reflection technology kicks in, so if you have a really bright room, you might want to focus your money here or on the model above to help combat that. Screen sizes: 43, 50, 55, 65, 75 and 85 inchesĪs mentioned above, the number of dimming zones in the QN90C will halve compared with the QN95C, and that will obviously have an impact on brightness - though exactly how big that impact will be, we don't know just yet.If that's important to you, you'll need to consider the 8K range or the S95C QD-OLED. There is no One Connect Box here this year - and in fact, there are no One Connect Boxes throughout the whole of 2023's Neo QLED/QLED ranges. There’s a 4.2.2-channel setup here, powered by 70W of amplification and Dolby Atmos support. It uses Samsung's Object Tracking Sound Plus audio system, with speakers placed around the TV frame. There are double the dimming zones here compared with the model below, the QN90C, as well as improved sound. ![]() It includes Samsung's anti-reflection technology too, which should improve the appearance of reflections in bright rooms. If you don't want 8K and you don't want QD-OLED, the QN95C is Samsung's flagship 4K Neo QLED Mini LED TV for 2023 - though it won't be available in all regions.Īvailable in 55, 65, 75 and 85 inches, it brings a 144Hz panel for all the gaming goodness you could wish for, with 14-bit contrast mapping for bringing out even more detail in a scene. ![]()
