Chocolate and peanut butter, beer and crisps, sleep and Sundays; some things are perfect partners, whether they were designed that way or not. Samsung’s 8K boffins might not be the same people as those in charge of Mini LED, but together they have managed to create one serious winning combination in the Samsung QE75QN900A 8K TV.
This model is a 75in version of Samsung’s third generation of 8K TVs, but it’s the first to be backed by a Mini LED lighting system rather than the standard LED set-up. As the name suggests, Mini LEDs are much smaller than standard LEDs, the size of glitter in your hand, and numbering in the thousands, rather than the hundreds, on your TV panel.
Of course, this upgrade is about more than just miniaturisation. More LEDs offer the potential for more granular backlight control – just the ticket for increasing the contrast and complexity of every onscreen moment. Combine that with the greater pixel density that 8K offers and this could be one seriously sharp, punchy and yet incredibly natural-looking TV.
Infinity and beyond.
The QE75QN900A follows the same design as last year’s Samsung 8K TVs. The Infinity Screen brings an impressive edge-to-edge glass pane, wrapped in a classy looking metallic matrix rim. The 0.8mm bezel means the picture goes all the way up to the edge with virtually no black buffer – it’s like the whole TV is picture from edge to edge.
