WATCHING

Feel like you’re at the theatre every time you sit to watch Shark Tank: here’s the top tech for a genuine home cinema experience

The Samsung Neo QLED QN800C is not just another telly; it’s a glimpse into the future  of home entertainment. 

The debate over the necessity of 8K resolution in a world where there’s still hardly any 8K content goes on. But with the QN800C’s crazy-impressive display, which is available in 65, 75 and 85in models, there’s certainly an argument for it. And after all, the larger the screen, the more apparent the need for higher resolution becomes, so maybe we should let Samsung do its thing.

Quantum Matrix Technology Pro helps here, combining 14-bit HDR contrast, Quantum Mini LEDs and Shape Adaptive Light Control to deliver a picture that’s bigger, brighter and more detailed, while reducing ‘blooming’ effects.

Design-wise, the QN800C has an industrial look with a robust metal base, which will look the part in any modern home. And at Stuff we’re big fans of the One Connect hub, which hides away all the dangly bits, connected to the screen by a single discreet cable.

Smart me up

But it’s in the TV’s brain – the Neo Quantum Processor 8K – where Samsung’s expertise really shines through. This processor uses 64 neural networks to upscale lower-res content, making even 4K videos look sharper and more detailed. The result is an experience that almost makes you forget that native 8K content is still quite rare.
