According to our television expert
With the Samsung Neo QLED 85QN800A and the Samsung HW-Q950A Soundbar, you get a complete viewing and listening experience at home. The 8K television uses thousands of tiny LED lights as backlight. With a peak brightness of 2000 nits, these lights can get very bright, but they can also dim individually. This gives images a powerful contrast. Dark parts of the image are really dark and light parts of the image are very bright. The QLED screen provides a wide color gamut and clear subtle color tones. Thanks to the 8K resolution, you can clearly see small details. Although there's not much content available in 8K, the processor ensures that even images with a 4K resolution get extra pixels. As a result, all the movies and series you watch look detailed and sharp. With the Slim One Connect Box, you can connect all your devices to a separate box and there's only a single transparent cable running to your television. It's easy to click this box to the back of the stand of your TV. This way, your setup looks neat and minimalistic.
With the Samsung HW-Q950A, you can create a cinema sound in your living room. The subwoofer produces the deepest bass tones to support the clear sound of the soundbar. Q-Symphony makes sure that the speakers of the television work together with the speakers of the soundbar. This way, the sound is spatial and more realistic. Thanks to the included rear speakers, the sound comes from all directions. This way, movies and series come to life. The speakers support Dolby Atmost technology. This technology sends the sound to your listening position via the ceiling. This makes it sound like the plane in the movie is really flying overhead. The SpaceFit technology adjusts the sound of the speakers to the room. This means that the placement of the speakers doesn't have much effect on the sound quality.

This new Samsung 8K TV is admirable in many aspects. 65 inch, thin profile, easily accessible HUB where you can lose all your connections from subwoofer to soundbar. The image itself shows a very large range and a lot of depth due to the new mini LEDs, but is especially in the spotlight because of its theoretically beautiful 8K screen. A lack of content in 4K or 8K is the biggest culprit of this TV for me. You are essentially paying for a TV where you cannot use its full potential. Apart from streaming services such as Netflix and Amazon Prime Video, there is very little footage that even exceeds the 4K limit. Even then, without having a subscription where you can stream unlimited amounts (4K is +/- 7Gbps), it is better not to start. This also means that the image from normal cable/digital TV (which mainly works in 720p or 1080p) will be stretched over this 8K screen, which sometimes makes the image look rather blurry. The problem poses him in the fact that when more and more 4K and 8K content does become widespread, this TV will be behind the latest technologies and TV experiences. It is in itself a phenomenal TV to have at home, but it is not much use at the moment.

My first impression when unboxing the TV is its sleek and beautiful design. The TV is very thin and has only a very small bezel, so you have a maximum screen. The small aluminum edge also gives the TV an extra luxurious look. As soon as you switch on the TV: a great picture and the sound is not too bad for a very thin TV. The detail of 8K streamed content is really great, but you also have a better (sharper) image on this TV with 4K and HD content. The samsung smart remote is also very handy: simple and yet very versatile and able to operate your other devices (telenet digibox, ...) if they are in the same cabinet together with the one connect box (a point for improvement is the description of this in the manual, I had to search for a while before I got it working) ! It is also handy that the remote control charges on sunlight. The TV also comes standard with Apple Airplay integration, so you can effortlessly stream to the TV from an Apple device.

This TV can certainly be called a premium TV. It starts with the appearance. The whole has a sleek design, thin edges and a quality feeling in terms of material. If you turn it on, the premium experience continues. It has a beautiful image, an excellent operating system with smooth navigation through the menus and it is immediately compatible with many streaming services through the Samsung apps. Even communication with competitor Apple is fine thanks to the built-in Apple TV. It is not a cheap TV but if you are looking in the segment then it is definitely recommended.
