Do you want to get a glimpse of what Mini-LED technology can do in the hands of Samsung? Then you need to check out the QN900A. It raises the bar high. It combines extreme brightness, colour and 8K sharpness with unprecedented levels of contrast and backlight control to produce the all-around most spectacular pictures we’ve seen on a TV that’s even remotely affordable.
The Samsung looks every bit as cutting edge and premium as you’d hope a TV at this price would look. The first thing you’ll notice is its bezel. Or rather, its lack of it. Unless you look really, really hard, from the front you’ll struggle to see any frame around the screen at all. It’s just a picture hanging in mid-air.
From an angle the bezel does become visible. However, the side panels are much slimmer than those of the QN900A’s predecessor, and they’re also seriously attractive with their gleaming metal finish, which is perforated to enable the speakers built into each edge to get their sound out. And, aside from a fiddly-to-attach stand, Samsung’s flagship TV for 2021 is pretty straightforward to set up and use.
