![]() Samsung’s solution to the power consumption issues with 8K TVs basically involves shipping the TV set to an Eco picture preset for standard dynamic range content. How a TV’s picture processors use its dimming zones is arguably more important than the sheer number of zones it’s using, but at the same time having as many extra zones as the QN900C does is a very promising starting point. To put some perspective on this, Sony’s X95L mini-LED flagship uses just under 500 zones respectively. The 75-inch QN900C’s light control is further bolstered by an extreme local dimming system that illuminates the picture using a colossal 1,920 separately controllable LED zones. This has the potential to deliver brighter images as well as more effective local light control. The mini-LED lighting in the QN900C uses LEDs 40 times smaller than those found in Samsung’s regular LED TVs, enabling countless thousands more of them to fit into the same screen area. Which is probably sensible given how much 8K OLED screens continue to cost. While Samsung’s premium 4K TV range now offers a choice between QD- OLED and mini-LED technologies, with 8K things remain mini-LED only.

While these prices show some signs of downward movement against the launch prices of previous Samsung flagship 8K Neo QLED models, they’re still a big step up from Samsung’s QN95C flagship 4K range. The 75-inch model we tested is available at the time of publication for £5,299 in the UK, $5,299.99 in the US, and $8,499 in Australia. ![]() ![]() A 98-inch Samsung QN990C model is also available. While a bit late, though, the Samsung QN900C range is now available across the world, available in 65-inch, 75-inch and 85-inch models. It might also, though, be a function of the well-documented difficulties 8K TVs were suddenly presented with this year when the European Union announced its latest TV power consumption regulations. This could be a sign of a shift in focus for Samsung given consumers’ apparent (based on recent global sales analysis) dwindling interest in 8K TVs. This year, though, the QN900C actually appeared after Samsung’s flagship 4K sets. Samsung usually leads off its new TV range every year with its latest 8K flagship.
