The QN95A range is Samsung’s flagship 4K TV for 2021, and it’s both priced and specified accordingly. Most intriguing is the ‘Neo QLED’ designation, which indicates the QN95A is a Mini-LED design, with all of the gains in black levels, contrast and backlighting control this new technology promises.

This isn’t the only Mini-LED TV we’ll see this year (we’re expecting them to make a huge splash), but Samsung is first to get it into our hands. It sets one hell of a benchmark, and only makes us more excited about the other Mini-LED models still to come.

But with the best OLED TVs getting more affordable all the time, can Mini-LED (in general) and the Samsung QN95A range (in particular) give OLED a run for its money? We’ll find out as we test it.

As is inevitable with a rangetopping TV that’s brand new onto the market, the Samsung QN95A will cost you. The 55-inch model, the 55QN95A, will set you back £2,199, with the set also available in 65-inch (65QN95A), 75-inch (75QN95A) and 85-inch (85QN95A) versions. Respective prices are £2,999, £4,499 and a hearty £5,999, which is a not inconsiderable sum in anybody’s language.
