THIS is Why 8K Makes Sense! - Samsung Neo QLED QN900D (2024) 85' MiniLED TV Review

The Samsung Neo QLED QN900D is an 8K TV using MiniLED technology. Many often ask, "Is an 8K TV worth it?" I think I finally found a good reason why it makes sense. In this review of the 85" Samsung Neo QLED QN900D, I share why it makes more sense than most realize and whether or not the Samsung QN900D is the best 8K TV of 2024.

Manufacturers are starting to split the image into 6 or more small sections, each with it's own processors and chips. That will allow 8k 120 fps and high bitrate content.
Right now, processors are the limitation for video input bandwidth.

I was going to get the Samsung QN900D back in April 2024 but suprisingly the picture quality of the Sony Z9K still impressed me even with less local dimming zones, Sony's local dimming algorithm with the Back Light Master Drive is no joke...so I ended up with an 85" Z9K

I was surprised that the LAN connection was only 100MB and not 1GB connection, 8K streaming uses 100MB but I would like additional room, for that price..

[FortClaud]

Wow you made this review video so incredible! You should be famous

Dangit, I thought 75" was on the large side for my 345 cm wide room. Now I am thinking of 85 in stead of 65 suddenly :)
8K QLED makes sense to me with the more powerful upscaling than in 4K TV (I assume) and use as a couch monitor for productivity, mixed with YouTube etc.

I had a bad experience with a qn700B from 2022, it has 60W sound. But in my unit there is extremely noticeable distortion and reverberation on low frequencies (around 70Hz-100Hz), very unpleasant in silent scenes with bass effects. Samsung is willing to replace my defective TV with a qn800D which has 70W speakers (qn900D has 90W speakers). Have you noticed any problem with low frequencies in the qn900D?

Great TV, but the most sad things is, this is a upscaling TV and nobody show how the upscaling works. Everyone talk about the new Gen3 Prozessor that is made for upscaling, but...sorry i repeat myself because this is really very curious

[Dandiego]

At 12:27, a grid-like pattern can be seen on the screen. Is this normal?

[Cloxxki]

The 75QN800C is getting quite affordbale. Is the new AI chip worth paying double? The 800C picture looks just amazing, but it's really hard to get good upscaling comparisons.

Great video. Just one question: can you share your point of view how this will behave as PC monitor? Also is supporting multiple pc inputs same time?

Thank you

I have the same TV and the same size my only problem is i have it in my room and when my girlfriend decides to sleep she always wakes up just to say turn the brightness LOW loool specially when I’m watching something in HDR and yeah i have to watch it in filmmaker mode and even then i have turn the brightness low BUT it’s an awesome TV and it’s like having a theater in bed

[robertoconnor]

Everyone has their own opinion. I still rock a plasma. From what I have seen in store. Have not seen Bravia 9. This is the first lcd display I have ever thought of buying.

I currently have a samsung qe55s95batxxu - and I’m thinking of going for the qn800d just worried because I would be going from OLED to QLED Would this be a decent upgrade or would I be disappointed?

[StormySky]

9:30 I've heard good things about secret labs gaming chairs. Are they worth it? What do you consider to be the best gaming chair?

[peterstauber]

TV looks good some of the time, but the bugs in it will drive you nuts!! And Samsung has put out 1 update that made issues actually WORSE!! It will just go dim and brighten for no reason. They say it is the ambience dimming but it is all turned off. also, if you let HDMI device activity out-switch to that input, there is NO AUDIO!! Have to manually change inputs then change back. The TV tuner will not remember "last channel" for more than an hour or so. Will not stay connected to a Samsung soundbar. I actually tried 4 brands and it works best with a Sony. It also drops connection and needs to be power cycled a lot. I have written Samsung support to no avail. Mine is the "A" model so this may be fixed in your "D" model. But we early adopters would like a firmware fix as we paid $8000 for this TV!!! A whole lot of money for an operational hunk of junk!!

Hi can you review the multi-view section?

[SuperMassman]

I would decide after seeing it in person next to a 4k

[Junglezon]

Is it worth me selling my Samsung Lsp9t projector to get this?

[Hanumanjikishakti]

Bro I’m planning to buy tws earbuds but I saw your nothing ear a video and decided to go for them but on the back they have cancer and reproductive warnings. Shall I go for apple air pods as far as I researched they don’t have that .
