Sharper Image

THE QN75QN900D Neo QLED TV is the 75-inch model in Samsung's 2024 flagship 8K mini-LED LCD TV series, and it delivers a brilliantly bright, colorful, and detailed picture from most content.

The series replaces last year's flagship 8K Neo QLED models, offering a thinner panel design, significantly brighter picture, a native refresh rate up to 144 Hz for advanced gaming, and the company's out-board One Connect box, allowing for a very-thin panel depth and perfectly flat back, so the TV sits flush against a wall despite being a full array backlit display with local dimming.

Samsung's Neo QLED technology leverages quantum dot color technology for high color volume and notable accuracy. Quantum dots and mini-LEDs together boost peak high dynamic range (HDR) and standard dynamic range (SDR) brightness while using more than 1,000 local dimming zones to maintain contrast. This produces greater control over fine shadow detail while elevating peak HDR luminance levels-we measured nearly 2400 nits! The result is life-like HDR specular highlights that preserve color details nicely in cinematic content, live video, and video game graphics.

This year, Samsung introduced the third generation of its Neural Quantum 8K AI Processor, which uses the company's color tone mapping technology to make images look lifelike and colorful. Our tests found it to be great at rendering bright, accurate colors, including those that go beyond the wide DCI-P3 color space, without adding any noticeable embellish intelligence (AI) processing in this latest model enhances 4K HDR content to almost 8K quality on a scene-by-scene basis. It also provides exceptionally clear native 8K images, although there are only a few 8K videos available for testing this.
