Remember that beautiful, 85-inch QLED 8K TV that Samsung unveiled in August? The one you absolutely won’t be able to find content for?

Well the Q900 is now available for pre-order, and it costs $14,999.99.

The Samsung Q900 will start shipping the week of October 28, so Samsung is (just barely) keeping its promise of making it available in October.

Besides the impressive 7,680×4,320 pixel resolution, the Q900 boasts a 4,000 nit peak brightness, Samsung’s Quantum Processor 8K, HDR10+ support, and AI-assisted 8K upscaling — arguably the TV’s most important feature, as you’ll be watching most of the content on this TV in upscaled mode.  Read more…

8K TVs are here, and they’re totally pointless

Every now and then, TV manufacturers start a new trend to keep the hype for their products going. If you bought a TV in the last year, a salesman probably told you that some iteration of HDR is a must-have. Your current TV likely supports 3D — and I bet you haven’t used that feature in ages. 

The hot new thing at this year’s IFA, Berlin’s trade show which gathers the largest consumer electronics manufacturers, was 8K TVs. I’ve seen those TVs, and I can tell you, they all had an absolutely stunning picture.

I can also tell you that you absolutely don’t need one.

Samsung’s massive 8K QLED TV will hit stores in October

You’ve heard about 8K televisions for years, but even if you had a desire to buy one — given that 8K content is incredibly hard to find — you probably weren’t actually able to do so as sales haven’t yet started for most 8K models. 

Now, however, Samsung has an 8K TV that isn’t just for show. The 85-inch Q900FN, announced ahead of the IFA trade show in Berlin, has four times the pixels than your typical puny 4K TV, and it’ll arrive to U.S. stores this October. 

The QLED TV — not to be confused with OLED — offers 4,000 nit peak brightness and supports the new HDR10+ standard, which optimizes brightness levels so that content doesn’t appear darker than originally intended.  Read more…
