According to our television expert
With the Samsung Neo QLED 8K 85QN900A, you can enjoy bright and realistic images. There are thousands of tiny small lights behind the screen that illuminate and dim individually. This is called Neo QLED. Thanks to this technology, the peak brightness and contrast of this TV are very high. That means that you can watch TV during the day undisturbed, since the TV also manages to display dark images like a starry night with deep black levels. In addition, the color gamut of 1 billion colors (10 bit) and HDR support ensure true-to-life colors. As a result, you see every subtle color difference in the turf during a soccer match or in the feathers of a tropical bird in a David Attenborough documentary. The 8k resolution ensures that every detail is visible on the large 85-inch screen. If you stream or watch 4K resolution content, the smart Neo Quantum processor converts it to sharp 8K images.
The Slim One Connect Box is a separate box. It's the 'computer' of the TV, where you'll find all of the connectors. This way, the design of the QN900A remains slim and stylish. Only one thin, transparent cable runs from the One Connect Box to the TV. You can easily click this thin box onto the back of the TV stand and create a minimalist TV setup. Thanks to the Infinity Screen design, you'll see almost no bezel around the screen. The SolarCell One Remote has a solar cell, so it charges in the light. In addition, you can control both the TV and the peripherals with it.
There are several speakers behind the screen. These follow the movements on the screen, thanks to the Object Tracking Sound Pro technology. That means you can hear someone running towards you in an action movie or a plane flying over from left to right. The subwoofers on the back of the 85QN900A provide an extra deep bass. The TV supports Q-Symphony, so you can synchronize the sound and use it with a soundbar that supports this technology too. As a result, you get a deeper and more spatial surround sound.
Are you an avid gamer? You'll like this TV. Connect your console to the HDMI 2.1 connector with the right 2.1 cable to get the most out of your PlayStation 5 or Xbox Series X. That way, you can enjoy games in 4K resolution with a 100Hz refresh rate. This results in smoothly-moving images. Thanks to the FreeSync and Variable Refresh Rate, you won't be bothered by screen tearing either.

The Samsung QN900A is an extensive 8K television with a high-contrast, clear image and powerful, spatial sound. I especially like watching movies and series. Thanks to the Neo QLED technology and the 10 speakers, these come across as lifelike.
Detailed images with 8K Because there is still little 8K footage available, the processor of the QN900A upscales images with a lower resolution. This means that 4K images appear even sharper. Indeed, I notice that many of the images I look at look really detailed. For example, in a Netflix nature documentary, all the veins on a tree trunk in the background are clearly visible. When I view full HD images, such as from some videos from YouTube, they do not come into view as sharp as 4K images. While I still think these images look sharp, they don't look quite as impressive as a 4K movie.
Realistic contrast thanks to Neo QLED Neo QLED TVs have a mini LED backlight. This means that thousands of small LED lights dim or light up individually. This allows you to view images with dark shadows and strong contrast. I notice that dark parts of the image look really dark, while bright parts come into the picture brightly. This makes a dark scene in an exciting movie look very realistic, with lots of color details in deep shadows.
Impressive sound The QN900A has no less than 10 speakers. These are spread over the back and side of the TV. I notice that this makes the sound sound spatial. For example, when a car is driving from left to right in the picture, I also hear the sound from left to right. Thanks to the subwoofers, the sound also sounds full and deep. I think this comes across especially well during a tense scene in an action movie. The film music sounds very compelling and an explosion sounds lifelike.
Minimalist design The thin bezel around the screen is almost invisible, so I mainly see the image when I'm sitting right in front of the TV. The screen stands on a simple, sturdy foot. This makes the TV look minimalistic and stylish. I think the Slim One Connect Box is a big plus. This box contains all the connections of the TV, while I only connect the One Connect Box itself to the TV with one transparent cable. This way, all kinds of cables do not run out of the TV, and that looks neat.

a beautiful new generation of television with unparalleled image quality. With 8k promotional videos you see every detail and has beautiful colors. Together with a good sound it gives a cinema experience at home. Nice thin screen, the leg is slightly larger but that is behind it, it can also be hung, Good view from all sides, only when turned off, it has some reflection, but I don't find it disturbing. Highly recommended for people who love image and sound.
