I just installed this TV (the 85-inch) and I'm thrilled with it so far. I'm a hobbyist photographer. The main reason I purchased it is to display still images. Reviewers on other channels raved about the QN900B's potential accuracy, so I bought it. Patient settings tweaks have paid off in a truly stunning image. Of course out of the box you can use this TV to tan yourself: it's way to bright, contrasty and saturated. By experimenting I've found the optimum settings for accuracy, including auto-brightness settings for varying light. (My room gets very bright during the day as I live in the Arizona desert and my home has lots of windows.) The final output is a genuinely remarkable image. This is excellent for photographic post processing reference and showing off your best images. The display is able to resolve all of my photos' resolution, most of which are over 60 megapixels. That said, I'll stick with my BenQ SW321C 32" Color Accurate monitor for actual image processing. However, while the SW321C may be color accurate (if you routinely calibrate it), it can't touch the QN900B's brightness! If you're a photographer and can afford it, get this TV while it's still on holiday sale!
Is anyone else a tad tired of these confusing TV model names? Seemingly random strings of letters and numbers make telling them apart a bit of a challenge. Why not give them names, as cars have OR give each TV a size number and a model number, eg “Sony 65 inch model 8”?
Now that you mention it yes 100% lol. So confusing. Every year a new string of numbers and letters. Maybe the year model would be easier to distinguish with a name
I just bought the qn900b 75” tv from Samsung direct. I got a steal on the tv. It was a no brainer. If you can go the extra mile I’d get the 8k tv. It basically has you somewhat future proofed and completely covered for the present. I’m coming from an old Panasonic Plasma so I needed something as good if not better. Didn’t want oled because of image retention possibilities. I have seen your reviews for the 900 and 800. They were both great. Because of the more advanced ambient mode now and the ability to still display art through your stored photo albums I opted to not get the frame. We didn’t care about a fancy bezel, we cared about this thing not being an eye sore. There are ways to put art on the tv and have it look very similar to the frame. I thought this tv would be able to do that better than any other tv in the line up,
There is no future proofing. I don’t see 8k coming in next 5 years. What I see instead is neat AI for upscaling that will come along bigger tv sizes. 4k will be streaming and broadcasting standard and AI upscaling will handle the rest. That kind of upscaling already is possible - that looks like native 8k - but needs to trickle down to tv manufacturers - in 5 years is achievable. But you will have to purchase new TV to enjoy it. Also you do need big tv, close distance for 8k to make a difference.
I bought a 75 Sony Z9K here and I'm quite happy with it. Gets uber bright and the black levels are great. Has some minor blooming in subtitles just like the Samsung but it has the best picture I've ever seen with clean 1080p or 4k content. I got enough money to be able to comfortably buy it so I treated myself, otherwise I'd still be using my old TCL 65 825 mini led set I was very happy with. If you can afford them they really do look better even upscaling 4k content with the brightness and higher pixel density. There are a lot options, pick the one that you like.
When it came mes to 8K TV reviews, I mainly care about the one thing that damn near all of them (save Robinson) ignore; pixel density & how that 8K picture looks, detail wise (especially on the biggest sizes) compared to other 8 & 4K TVs. But no one other than Robinson ever talks about that.
I’m glad you tested the 85” because both the 75 and 85 are superior to the 65 that most reviewers test. Even the specs on the website show the 65 isn’t as good as the larger ones. The larger ones have way more zones and I measured my 75 at 2500 nits whereas the 65 is only around 1500. You can clearly see much less blooming and way better contrast on that 85 over the 65. Uniformity is an issue. I had a clean one that had the local dimming bug so I swapped it out but the next one had dse and so did the following one. Knowing that my first one didn’t have any noticeable dse I decided to keep trying cause I knew that there are clean ones out there. 4th time is the charm and I’m very happy with my current panel. Samsung needs to clean up their act with this dse nonsense.

I just upgraded to a Samsung 8k 85". My Samsung Q9 65" is in excellent shape... just splurging for a special occasion. I'm thinking about selling my 65" because I don't currently have space for both tvs, but... guessing I wouldn't get much for a used TV (I don't like buying used electronics unless it's from family or friends) My question is, if I stored my old tv until I get a larger home, do these tvs do ok after being stored? If I get a master bedroom that would accommodate a 65" in the next 3 years maybe I'm better off keeping it?
I have a older Sony 42“ led set we were given in 2012 when we bought our house for Christmas. We used it happily a few years till I upgraded to a cheap 4k set. We stashed it in the spare room for years and my fancy set broke 3 years later so drug it out and it played like it Always had and now it is in a bedroom still looking good today.
@@69Dartman Thanks... I didn't buy any warranty on my 85" either (never do). I'd be pretty upset if I'd sold my awesome 4k, had 8k troubles and had to buy a new 4k or 8k. Yes, the more I think about it the more I think its worth keeping vs getting 1k for it. Thanks for being my sounding board:)
@@ilovedogsrescueananimal234 I recently upgraded to the Z9K because I got some decent toy money and wanted a really nice bigger TV similar to the 65 825 mini led TCL I got after the cheap set broke. I moved it into my bedroom on top of my huge dresser. Why sell it, I still love how it looks, I just like the Sony better. I have a awesome TV in my bedroom now and give away the TVs I don't like or need.
I got this model last summer when you, Fomo, and others were telling everyone to buy the qn90a because the software for the Samsung 2022s was broken. Glad I ignored the advice.
Yeah I mean for real…don’t they do the research where it’s in clear bold print that the 65 has inferior specs to the 75 and 85 and that their findings only apply to the 65?
I have a question I got the second version of the neo qled 8k but I notice something some of the features are off there’s no movie or filmmaker mode does that happen with all the second versions or is that my TV comes defective please help and I notice is much less brighter than the first one. I just got mine this week.
There are a few things from my experience, 8k at 85" is the same pixels per inch as a 43" 4k TV (great if you like to use the TV as a PC monitor), certain content upscaled to 8k looks better than 4k. Gaming on my 8k on a larger screen and sitting closer to it makes me feel more immersed as I don't see any screen door effect due to the denser pixels and to me the image looks sharper, 8k image processing hardware tends to be beefier and faster due to having to drive 4 times as many pixels, but this is very model specific and might not be always the case. IMO 8k makes the most sense when you go for bigger sizes (over 75") and that high pixel density allows you to sit at the same or closer distance without noticing the overall picture quality decline. This is why when manufactures don't gimp their smaller TV sizes you will notice that for 4k TV's the 55" always outperforms the bigger sizes as it has the sharpest image. Same thing on the Q900B and newer models, the 65" would be the best overall PQ, but Samsung purposely made the bigger sizes have more dimming zones so they can justify the price differences more.
@@nikysonylol I have had an insignia tv for 13 years and 2 Samsungs last 10 year before I sold them and both Samsungs I bought used they worked perfectly just got old
Good review again not to much tech talk which I like . I have just bought the Samsung Q60 85inch for my new garage conversion home theatre room . I love my new QLED tv . I think 8k could go the same way as 3D Tv. If you have a good 4K tv its hard to see the diffrance between 4 an 8K. Also it will take a long time to get 8k content .
I just ordered the QN900C 85" (2023). Price was ~55% off during Black Friday so I simply had to (still a lot of money though). This video concerns the 2022 (B) version and I wonder how much of an improvement the 2023 (C) version will be? It is replacing an aging Q9FN 75" (2018) that is working fine right now but has started to show issues with the backlighting after 5 years of good use. I am absolutely thrilled to receive the new 85" and get it wall mounted in December :)
Be aware that even tho the 800C has more mini LEDs and dimming zones than 800B, the brightness level has been capped to conserve electricity required by the EU. Apparently, they nerfed the tvs for the US as well. 🙄
Hi !!! Should I get the 85” qn800c 8k vs the 85” qn90D 4k tv?? They are the same price right now sales… HELP what yur opinion as a better tv??? I’m very interested on the 8k tv!!! Thx
The 65 is gimped. Everybody knows this. It’s not a real qn900b. Only the 75 and 85 are. I’m glad I returned my g2 for the qn900b. The g2 was way too dim and suffered heavy white subpixel dilution. Even my c9 is better.
Samsung after so many years didn't fix the dimming isue on qled regarding HDR content, is pushing a lot of ads, keeps installing apps on your tv without your consent and not giving you (the user) the possibility to delete them or stop installing them on your tv! This are some of the few reasons i quit using/buying Samsung qled tv!
lets see, 4k uhd is the current new physical media. Not to mention everything else is still 1080p "bluray". I would give it another 10-15+ years before 8k is even a thing. 8k will probably be worth it in 15+ years, by then there will probably be better tvs to buy
I'm in the same boat as you (4K vs 8K). I've decided to go with the 8K b/c it has numerous other features that come with such a premium TV that just happens to be 8K. So don't look at it as a 4K vs 8k decision, look at it as a feature comparison between two TV's. That, and of course size matters.
I recently got the Samsung QN800C 85” and the screen came with vertical lines across the right corner and one in the left side? Any idea why this might be happening Is it defective or connection problems..? I did contact the seller sending me with manufacture. 😢
Hi!. I guess that's a desperate try but I got this tv and when I watch hdr contents sometimes black tones change by their own brighter and darker like flickering. Very subtle thing but this is driving me crazy, samsung doesn't recognize the problem and I really cannot find someone who can tell me if this is a "normal" thing or not! I'm losing my mind over it, no tv expert can help me even telling me why this is happening and if there's a solution. I turned off every automatic function, i normally use "filmaker" mode to watch movies (every other option is completely impossible to use since this problem is even on the black bands up and down the screen). Can you or someone else plese help me? Is this something that this tv does watching high resolution hdr contents? I paid like 7k for this tv and I can's watch any hdr content on it! Thanks!
@@trippplefive It could be 4 times better than 4K if it had mainstream content for that crazy resolution. If one considers that the giantest, brightest, beastiest movie IMAX screen in the world is “only” 4K, why would us, pesky yet discerning consumers, feel we need more? :-)
Future proof. I just got this TV to replace a 14 year old TV. That TV was obsolete within a few years. This TV will future proof hoping I can get another 14+ years out of it.
early adopter fee, someone has to start buying this stuff. Ill buy a 8k tv once streaming sites start doing 8k, which will probably be no time soon lol.
I was an early adopter for decades. And the issue is (and always was) that by the time 8k becomes mainstream, they’ll have come up with updated input plugs, like, say, some HDMI 5.0, that older 8K TVs don’t have. And we’ll have to buy the new TVs anyway …
Nice review. But I dunno if it's the lighting vs camera but the animated movie did not look as great as an OLED tv. As far as buying an 8k tv...not worth it not enough media right now. Future proofing? Maybe, but a lot of people don't even have a 4k tv yet even with the various sizes and price crashes that are available
Could you review Costco’s 85 inch Samsung QN85QN850CFXZA 8K $5800 it must be made for Costco but don’t know what features might have been deleted for the price. QN85QN850CFXZA
This TV is just a QN800C that has the model number changed for Costco due to bulk sales agreement, there are zero differences between the Costco QN850C and the QN800C. And the price is only $200 bucks cheaper which means that Costco is just selling it at a lower margin. If I was you, I would get last years QN900B as it has a VA panel verses the ADL and is overall a better TV than the 2023 QN800C, it also sells for $800-1000 less.
@@ciscokid2444 The same size 800B will have the same amount of zones as the equivalent sized 900B. As for if you should get the 900C over the 900B, personally there is not enough improvement to justify the cost. Since the 900B can be had for $4500-4900 USD vs the 900C which still is at the $8000 price mark. If you can wait till November I expect the 900C will drop to $5500. And to help avoid confusion the model numbers are 800 mid range 8k, and 900 for the high end 8k, the letter after indicates the year. E.g. 900A = highest end 8k from 2021, 900B = 2022, 900C = 2023. The same for 800 series.
If you still love it why change? The curve does not add anything to the viewing experience IMO and the PQ and image processing is much better today. Also, the local dimming on KS9800 only had 150 zones to work with verses 2340 on a QN800B and for me local dimming performance is really important on non-OLED panels.
@@deanwilliams433 it completely does. Do you own one? Why do you think it’s a superior tv to date? You can’t and won’t find anywhere and if you do get it because it’s a GEM.

I have the QN95B its a pain in the butt when you first turn it on it takes forever to ge to the settings smart hub even if you been watching content and it presx the smart hub button it still for ever it was not this bad when I first bought it its got worst
I have qn90b and use Apple TV to stream content. You can set your tv to turn on and go to the last app used and bypass the stupid Samsung software. It’s great
8k is pointless as movies are not made in 8k, I’m sure their not even made in 4k,, nice size though and with it being a Samsung is dodgy as most Samsung tv the wireless module always fails but hopefully Samsung has sorted this issue as it’s happened to 3 Samsungs I’ve had in the past
I game on this 8K 85inch QN900B...I pair it with PC RTX 4090 and play my entire 76 game library in 8K 60fps. It's Absolutely Stunning and looks much better then 4K gaming. 8K is the future
@@freeagentlifestyles another thing to add, downscaling 8k to 4k still leaves the image super sharp so no need to worry about dealing with lower fps if you don't want to.
what a waste. i mean aren't tv getting outdated. I dont even watch my laser tv anymore and im thinking about selling it. I get all my content on my computer to Disney+ to hulu to Netflix and apple tv. Plus my 4k 28inch monitor is way better looking then most outdated tvs. just my observations. TV are a dying bread just like vhs cd dvds and tvs ;lol
Running an 8k right now is pointless, there’s nothing out that produces 8k. There’s barely anything out at the moment that supports 4k. I have a 65 inch QLED Q80A and it’s 4k and I stream everything and watch tons of sports and I’ve seen 8k 75 or 65 inch and there’s no difference. Save your money and grab a 4k, we’re years and years out from even touching 8k. You’ll be paying extra for something you can’t use.

And when it all boil down to all of em mostly is pretty much the same
Answer is very simple, you have money then you need 8k, no money stick with 4K. 👍

I have a older Sony 42“ led set we were given in 2012 when we bought our house for Christmas. We used it happily a few years till I upgraded to a cheap 4k set.
We stashed it in the spare room for years and my fancy set broke 3 years later so drug it out and it played like it Always had and now it is in a bedroom still looking good today.
@@69Dartman Thanks... I didn't buy any warranty on my 85" either (never do). I'd be pretty upset if I'd sold my awesome 4k, had 8k troubles and had to buy a new 4k or 8k.
Yes, the more I think about it the more I think its worth keeping vs getting 1k for it.
Thanks for being my sounding board:)
@@ilovedogsrescueananimal234 I recently upgraded to the Z9K because I got some decent toy money and wanted a really nice bigger TV similar to the 65 825 mini led TCL I got after the cheap set broke. I moved it into my bedroom on top of my huge dresser. Why sell it, I still love how it looks, I just like the Sony better. I have a awesome TV in my bedroom now and give away the TVs I don't like or need.
I got this model last summer when you, Fomo, and others were telling everyone to buy the qn90a because the software for the Samsung 2022s was broken.
Glad I ignored the advice.
Yeah I mean for real…don’t they do the research where it’s in clear bold print that the 65 has inferior specs to the 75 and 85 and that their findings only apply to the 65?
this tv its my dream!
I have a question I got the second version of the neo qled 8k but I notice something some of the features are off there’s no movie or filmmaker mode does that happen with all the second versions or is that my TV comes defective please help and I notice is much less brighter than the first one. I just got mine this week.
Are you familiar with the Samsung Micro-LED wall tv, from 100" to the huge 292" diagonal versions?
What’s the point of a 8k tv when there is not 8k content yet?
Future proof. I just replaced a 14 year old 1080p with this TV. Hopefully this one will last 14 years and not be obsolete within a few years.
@@Ashmoney1980 wow a samsung tv handling 14 years? Man, how fortunate you are....
There are a few things from my experience, 8k at 85" is the same pixels per inch as a 43" 4k TV (great if you like to use the TV as a PC monitor), certain content upscaled to 8k looks better than 4k. Gaming on my 8k on a larger screen and sitting closer to it makes me feel more immersed as I don't see any screen door effect due to the denser pixels and to me the image looks sharper, 8k image processing hardware tends to be beefier and faster due to having to drive 4 times as many pixels, but this is very model specific and might not be always the case.
IMO 8k makes the most sense when you go for bigger sizes (over 75") and that high pixel density allows you to sit at the same or closer distance without noticing the overall picture quality decline. This is why when manufactures don't gimp their smaller TV sizes you will notice that for 4k TV's the 55" always outperforms the bigger sizes as it has the sharpest image. Same thing on the Q900B and newer models, the 65" would be the best overall PQ, but Samsung purposely made the bigger sizes have more dimming zones so they can justify the price differences more.
@@nikysonylol I have had an insignia tv for 13 years and 2 Samsungs last 10 year before I sold them and both Samsungs I bought used they worked perfectly just got old
Upscaling baby..
I love your reviews on all tv. I want to know hie would you compare sony Z9J vs Samsung q900b 8k tv? Which tv would you recommend?
I wasn't a fan of the Z9K, so fhe J would likely be worse. The qn900b is better. I would also consider just getting the qn90b 4k
Good review again not to much tech talk which I like . I have just bought the Samsung Q60 85inch for my new garage conversion home theatre room . I love my new QLED tv . I think 8k could go the same way as 3D Tv. If you have a good 4K tv its hard to see the diffrance between 4 an 8K. Also it will take a long time to get 8k content .
do you keep all these tv,s ?
Thanks! Easy explanation…just I got this TV and I love it. Still having problems for to connect my Apple TV…any suggestion be welcome.
TH-cam it or Samsung Support
How do QLED TVs deal with low fps stuttering in (slow) panning scenes? It looks terrible on OLED TVs and even plasma TVs.
Hey Brandon good job on reviewing those big tv's, can you please review X90K 85" version?
It will be exciting to see that set performance.
8K all the way baby!!!
$2500 for 85" 800B Christmas 2023 is going to be HOT!!
Bro, quick question, to get the TCL 98inch or an equvilantly priced Short Throw Projector?
At 5 grand and below I would get the TCL every time.
mine didnt come with the screen protector .

Nice review keep up the good work B the installer happy holiday to you and your wife
Can't see the blooming!
@B The Installer: Was DSE recognizeable while watching football on the TV?
my favorite place to watch videos ❤😊
I’m wandering does it come with the stand or separate if so where do you get the stand and how much is it?
Hi, can you provide the details to buy the stand
I just ordered the QN900C 85" (2023). Price was ~55% off during Black Friday so I simply had to (still a lot of money though). This video concerns the 2022 (B) version and I wonder how much of an improvement the 2023 (C) version will be?
It is replacing an aging Q9FN 75" (2018) that is working fine right now but has started to show issues with the backlighting after 5 years of good use. I am absolutely thrilled to receive the new 85" and get it wall mounted in December :)
Be aware that even tho the 800C has more mini LEDs and dimming zones than 800B, the brightness level has been capped to conserve electricity required by the EU. Apparently, they nerfed the tvs for the US as well. 🙄
Hi !!! Should I get the 85” qn800c 8k vs the 85” qn90D 4k tv?? They are the same price right now sales… HELP what yur opinion as a better tv??? I’m very interested on the 8k tv!!! Thx
I bought the qn900b 65 and was horrible 😫,blooming,foggy and low contrast,now I have the G2 is so good 👍
The 65 is gimped. Everybody knows this. It’s not a real qn900b. Only the 75 and 85 are. I’m glad I returned my g2 for the qn900b. The g2 was way too dim and suffered heavy white subpixel dilution. Even my c9 is better.
@@SD71232 nah G2 is such a good tv,no more lcd tv for me anymore
The g2 is garbage like he said above the white pixel kills it. 8k is best in larger sizes.
@@tonym823 whatever 🙄 for my place G2 I s more than great
Does this one Ai upscale to 8k?
8K Wins.
Samsung after so many years didn't fix the dimming isue on qled regarding HDR content, is pushing a lot of ads, keeps installing apps on your tv without your consent and not giving you (the user) the possibility to delete them or stop installing them on your tv! This are some of the few reasons i quit using/buying Samsung qled tv!
why not oled full hd tvs in budget range?
What's the difference between QN900B and QN900C?
I have a question..i have 75 900b and can i put on this tv govee camera for Ambilight or this can destroy a tv?
what's the price . thanks
Can You Do A Video On The Qn800C 8K TV Please.
Is 8k worth it or is 4k just as good?
lets see, 4k uhd is the current new physical media. Not to mention everything else is still 1080p "bluray".
I would give it another 10-15+ years before 8k is even a thing.
8k will probably be worth it in 15+ years, by then there will probably be better tvs to buy
@@TheNotoriousNemo I disagree. Try 3 years. 15 years? Lol are u predicting the time for flying Uber cars?
@@TheNotoriousNemo u get way more zones with the 8k version so there's the plus
I'm in the same boat as you (4K vs 8K). I've decided to go with the 8K b/c it has numerous other features that come with such a premium TV that just happens to be 8K. So don't look at it as a 4K vs 8k decision, look at it as a feature comparison between two TV's. That, and of course size matters.
@@jefft.4554 I ended up buying the qn800b
I recently got the Samsung QN800C 85” and the screen came with vertical lines across the right corner and one in the left side? Any idea why this might be happening Is it defective or connection problems..? I did contact the seller sending me with manufacture. 😢
Just ordered today a 75in 900b for £2000 in the UK
Good work. 65"" 4k is more than good for me. Can you recommend a model from Samsung. EU version. Thanks.
Hi!. I guess that's a desperate try but I got this tv and when I watch hdr contents sometimes black tones change by their own brighter and darker like flickering.
Very subtle thing but this is driving me crazy, samsung doesn't recognize the problem and I really cannot find someone who can tell me if this is a "normal" thing or not!
I'm losing my mind over it, no tv expert can help me even telling me why this is happening and if there's a solution.
I turned off every automatic function, i normally use "filmaker" mode to watch movies (every other option is completely impossible to use since this problem is even on the black bands up and down the screen).
Can you or someone else plese help me? Is this something that this tv does watching high resolution hdr contents?
I paid like 7k for this tv and I can's watch any hdr content on it! Thanks!
Please price of 55 inch
I have a question is Qled better than amoled seriously considering if that is an option anyone can answer in detail
You forgot to add the Hisense U8H in the list of "Top Tier" TV's.
Maybe in North America in Europe we get the junk version same as TCL.
@@gman5218 True that. And I don't know why they have to short-change over there. It's really inexcusable.
8K why?
Because it's twice as better as 4k?
@@trippplefive It could be 4 times better than 4K if it had mainstream content for that crazy resolution.
If one considers that the giantest, brightest, beastiest movie IMAX screen in the world is “only” 4K, why would us, pesky yet discerning consumers, feel we need more? :-)
Future proof. I just got this TV to replace a 14 year old TV. That TV was obsolete within a few years. This TV will future proof hoping I can get another 14+ years out of it.
early adopter fee, someone has to start buying this stuff. Ill buy a 8k tv once streaming sites start doing 8k, which will probably be no time soon lol.
I was an early adopter for decades. And the issue is (and always was) that by the time 8k becomes mainstream, they’ll have come up with updated input plugs, like, say, some HDMI 5.0, that older 8K TVs don’t have. And we’ll have to buy the new TVs anyway …
I have the Samsung QL 90 a and I love it it’s only 4K
Did I hear you call the Ethernet "land line"? 🤣
Putting this up against Sony and LG isn't the fairest fight 😭😅
I like the 8K Samsung this is the one I love to have with the stand let me know if I can get it from New York
I would love ❤️ 😍 to own that tv in my life super technology 👌
I have one in my bedroom qn90a
Beautiful thin tv. But the "ghosting" 👻 dirty screen effect is very visible here for the naked eye.
Dirty screen is not exceptable. For expensive tv. Tv otherwise looks pretty good.
Nice review. But I dunno if it's the lighting vs camera but the animated movie did not look as great as an OLED tv. As far as buying an 8k tv...not worth it not enough media right now. Future proofing? Maybe, but a lot of people don't even have a 4k tv yet even with the various sizes and price crashes that are available
Brasil TV Samsung neo qled 8k qn800b 85" 75.000$ Brasil
Could you review Costco’s 85 inch Samsung QN85QN850CFXZA 8K $5800 it must be made for Costco but don’t know what features might have been deleted for the price. QN85QN850CFXZA
This TV is just a QN800C that has the model number changed for Costco due to bulk sales agreement, there are zero differences between the Costco QN850C and the QN800C. And the price is only $200 bucks cheaper which means that Costco is just selling it at a lower margin. If I was you, I would get last years QN900B as it has a VA panel verses the ADL and is overall a better TV than the 2023 QN800C, it also sells for $800-1000 less.
@@deanwilliams433 Would the new 900C be worth it? Does it have more dimming zones than 800B?
@@ciscokid2444 The same size 800B will have the same amount of zones as the equivalent sized 900B. As for if you should get the 900C over the 900B, personally there is not enough improvement to justify the cost. Since the 900B can be had for $4500-4900 USD vs the 900C which still is at the $8000 price mark. If you can wait till November I expect the 900C will drop to $5500. And to help avoid confusion the model numbers are 800 mid range 8k, and 900 for the high end 8k, the letter after indicates the year. E.g. 900A = highest end 8k from 2021, 900B = 2022, 900C = 2023. The same for 800 series.
I’m sorry. I have the Curved Samsung KS9800 SUHD 78 inch when launched in 2016. No new tv can touch it. I’ll never get rid of my KS9800.
If you still love it why change? The curve does not add anything to the viewing experience IMO and the PQ and image processing is much better today. Also, the local dimming on KS9800 only had 150 zones to work with verses 2340 on a QN800B and for me local dimming performance is really important on non-OLED panels.
@@deanwilliams433 it completely does. Do you own one? Why do you think it’s a superior tv to date? You can’t and won’t find anywhere and if you do get it because it’s a GEM. They discontinued it for a reason. It’s 10k TV. And it matches every tv to date!! It cost more to make to sell. Ppl didn’t have the money to drop. Why? The average Comsumer doenst drop 10k on a 78 inch curved or 88 inch for 20k for that matter. Read below and go TH-cam reviews on this tv. It can hold its own and then some. It competes with any tv on the market to date.
Look at the specs my friend. Here I will share so you can compare and don’t need to go look to make it easier for you. This was made in 2016. My close friend is an engineer for Samsung so I know more then the average consumer who purchases tv.
Goes to show you it rivals with any tv on the market to date! It was the flagship and still is a beast Vs any tv you put next to it!

The size vs price ratio makes its deficiencies acceptable.
8K? but why?? theres no content for it
Oh yes I’ll try to play Forza 5 on an Xbox series X on this tv
To answer your question I’m fine with 4k. Someday 8k might be something I would consider.
I was suprise to see this at 4499 at Best Buy.
I have the QN95B its a pain in the butt when you first turn it on it takes forever to ge to the settings smart hub even if you been watching content and it presx the smart hub button it still for ever it was not this bad when I first bought it its got worst
I have same tv mine does not do that
I have qn90b and use Apple TV to stream content. You can set your tv to turn on and go to the last app used and bypass the stupid Samsung software. It’s great
Adjust your settings. Also the latest update makes Tizen much faster. I avoid it at all costs though and use an Apple TV.
