Bigger and better. That’s what Samsung is selling with its QN900D Neo QLED 8K TVs.

To deliver it, Samsung is leaning heavily on AI technology. Whether it’s for upscaling content to 8K or smoothing out motion in fast-moving sports, Samsung’s latest NQ8 AI Gen3 processor does an impressive job of pushing picture quality up.

Samsung invited me to test a bunch of its new AV gear, including the QN900D 8K TV, the HW-Q990D Q-Series soundbar and its new Music Frame photo speaker.

While I only had a few hours to play around with its latest gadgets, it was long enough for me to see that this is an exceptional TV. And so you’ll find that while I’ve noted the pros and cons of the TV, as well as my experience, I haven’t given a score.
