8K is the new way of future resolutions, and how we consume media. Eventually, 8K will do the same that 4K did to 1080p video, and companies are taking the initiative to create devices and displays capable of running this content. Samsung invited us to th...
There isn't any 8K content to fully embrace and utilise all that this TV has to offer, but that doesn't mean that you can't enjoy this impressive piece of hardware that upscales any content to 8K with its sophisticated AI technology. It does everything yo...

8K's influence isn't quite as dramatic at 75 inches, but it's still there and significant The Samsung QE75Q900R is a 75-inch 8K television. Yes, that's right, 8K – meaning it has 7680 x 4320 pixels squeezed into its screen. It also uses Samsung's QLED t...

The QE75Q900R isn't quite as spectacular as its larger 8K sibling, in terms of either its brightness or the impact of its 8K resolution. Nevertheless, it delivers the most detailed, sharp and colourful pictures of any 75-inch TV – even when you're not wat...

The move away from backlighting for TVs is well under way, but while most manufacturers have already succumbed to the self-emissive delights of OLED, Samsung has kept its powder dry.Why? It reckons OLED is inherently too limited in terms of brightness and...

Samsung's new Q900R 8k TV line is both precocious and premature. Someone was always going to be first to tout 8k, and it was probably inevitable that it would be Samsung, a brand that relishes leading edge tech.4k UHD offered a four-fold jump in resolutio...
Samsung is to be applauded for pushing ahead with 8k development. It's setting the agenda for the next evolution in high-end display technology. However, should you commit at the outset? For some buyers, simply being the first to have 8k will warrant the...

What's the point of an 8K TV? With this 75-inch Q900R, Samsung is hoping to give you a compelling answer, but it's not easy. After all, 4K screens have only just elbowed regular HD out of the picture. Do we really need another resolution revolution?The an...

There is a whole ton of stuff to really appreciate in the Samsung Q900R. This TV not only performs extremely well in most of its specs, it also manages to deliver a couple of extra features that we've never seen before in a UHD LCD TV for the consumer mar...
To really summarize our perception of the Samsung Q900's value for price and bottom line verdict, we have to say that this is an excellent TV in so many ways but that its price is way too high for the performance it offers. Unless you really want to have...

There are those who will tell you that there's no point in 8K video – ‘4K is enough', they say, ‘you can't even tell the difference'. But they have almost certainly not seen 8K in action. If they had, we suspect they'd be singing a different tune, because...

Samsung has been teasing this 8K resolution TV since the world's largest tech show, CES, at the start of 2018. But much of the media attention has been focused on the lack of actual 8K content. While that's certainly an issue, the larger debate about 8K h...

Just as when 4K displays were first announced, the early buzz around 8K TVs has been predominantly negative. ‘Who needs 8K when 4K content is still barely a thing?' has been the cry. Often followed by, 'I bet you can't see any difference between 4K and 8K...

Now that I've seen Samsung's 8K UHD Q900—the company's best TV to date—I'm truly regret that the industry didn't just skip over the 4K generation (2160p) and jump straight from HD (1080p) to 8K (4320p). It's not that the best 4K TVs look bad, it's just th...

The Q900 is Samsung's best TV to date. It not only rends 8K UHD natively, it makes 4K UHD look better because of the high pixel density. The color, motion, and general processing are top notch. Our only caveats are the cost, lack of Dolby Vision support...
