QE65QN900ATXXU 65" 8K Neo QLED TV

Product Information

We uploaded the brightness measurements and uniformity photos after running the TV for two months in our Accelerated Longevity Test. Please note: Failure to produce the card and relevant ID means we are unable to release goods on collection.

The TV’s internal speakers are fine for daytime viewing or streaming that doesn’t require whizz-bang sonics, but it’s a bit tepid dynamically at lower levels and raising the volume introduces bass distortion. Even watching the news at higher volume levels can result in some buzzing, and in the kinetic action scenes of WW1984 the effect can distract. With such stunning pictures, you’ll need sound to match. Equipped with Super Surround Sound, there’s 12 multi-directional speakers built into the TV to deliver immersive 3D audio. Powered by Dolby Atmos for the first time, you’ll get the ultimate cinematic surround sound experience. Rain-soaked streets or the roar of a crowd, the audio will feel so real, it will feel like you’re actually there. We uploaded the initial brightness measurements and uniformity photos for the Accelerated Longevity Test. Whatever’s on the screen, see it in all its incredible glory with Quantum HDR 3000 powered by HDR10+. From gloomy shadows to sun-scorched scenes, watch every brilliant detail come to life from industry-leading HDR brightness. Plus, with Adaptive HDR10+ every frame is optimised to perfection, so the picture you see is as detailed as it is in real-life. To compliment such stunning picture quality, the QE65QN900BTXXU features an Infinity Screen for total edge-to-edge viewing. As the bezel is so thin, nothing gets in the way of the 8K picture – so you can enjoy everything without distractions. Entertainment Options

The QN900A ships with two remotes: a standard one and a smart version that’s the better of the two. Turn it over and there’s a solar panel that uses ambient light to charge it – a clever little innovation that requires no batteries.

Update 08/02/2021: We retested the peak brightness with the latest firmware, version 1511. Small highlights and real scenes are significantly dimmer than before this update, but larger bright scenes are brighter. A few people have mentioned to us that the TV increases in brightness after a reset, so we also looked into that. We found that resetting the TV results in a very small increase in peak brightness, but it's minor and not noticeable. The Samsung QN900A has excellent SDR brightness, although it's not quite as bright as the Samsung QN800A 8k QLED. It has a fairly aggressive ABL, so scenes with large areas of brightness are dimmed, as seen in the peak and sustained 100% windows. That said, it still hits around 800 to 900 nits with real scenes, so it should be more than bright enough to overcome glare in a bright room. The QE65QN900ATXXUhas a Neo Quantum 4K processor that makes navigating through the menus and smart features of this lovely set easy and fast. Multitasking between apps, menus and settings is a breeze for the QE65QN900ATXXU as well as optimising the picture quality for omtimum viewing at all times. Aside from this, Samsung's QN900A Neo QLED 8K is a television that's class-leading when it comes to design. With bezels that have been reduced to the point of nearly non-existent, speaker grills that are only visible from the side, and a minimalist stand that also provides additional functionality, the QN900A's design is what every TV manufacturer should aspire to.

Samsung QN900B Price Points UK

As the LEDs are far smaller, they're able to achieve far more precision and less blooming, so the act of seeing bright areas of the screen unnaturally bleed over into darker spots should be greatly reduced or not evident at all.

The QN900A offers a suite of picture modes in Dynamic, Standard, Natural, Movie and Filmmaker. With some processing features turned off, Dynamic offered the highest brightness (2600 nits) but only briefly and colours were too garish in look. Standard is good for everyday viewing, while Natural works for sports. Movie and Filmmaker are virtually identical, the latter limiting the impact of the QE65QN900A’s processing to preserve the creative intent of a film or TV series.

Update 08/02/2021: We retested the peak brightness with the latest firmware, version 1511. It's considerably brighter in real content, as well as most larger scenes, but small highlights aren't as bright as before. During our test runs with the new firmware we encountered issues with overheating, and had to break up our tests and let the TV cool down between each run. It overheated to the point that it started to impact picture quality.
