Product Overview

Samsung Q900R is a flagship 8K QLED TV in Samsung's 2019 lineup. It is powered by a 10-bit QLED panel and available in 55", 65", 75", 82", and 98" size classes.
Some highlights of the Samsung Q900R include a high screen-to-body ratio up to 95.66%, reasonably fast 3.0 ms response time, and high brightness. Additionally, it supports full-array LED local-dimming. With mini-LEDs, full-array LED dimming helps the panel achieve higher contrast and dynamic range. It supports HDR formats including HDR10, HDR10+, HDR 4000, and HLG (Hybrid Log Gamma). It covers 100% of DCI-P3 color space, which is excellent news for those who appreciate color accuracy. It performs exceptionally in delivering contrast.

    The Samsung Q900 has an impressive picture quality with good dark room performance. It has remarkable motion handling with very little motion blur and fast-moving content, like sports, is crisp. The input lag is very low and the TV responds immediately to your actions, which is great for gamers and those who will use it as a PC monitor.

    • Good black uniformity
    • Very fast response time

    The 85Q900R's incredible resolution and brightness combine to deliver simply the most stunning pictures I've ever seen on a TV. This is especially true with native 8K playback, but crucially given where the TV content world is at right now, upscaled 4K HDR pictures also look better than I'd dreamed possible. Its speakers struggle to deliver the sort of volumes such a massive TV needs to complete its cinematic experience, and the sound never really feels like it's coming forward into the room. Samsung's Smart Sound system does a mostly good job of automatically optimizing the sound settings to whatever type of content you're watching.

    Pros
    • Incredible 4K HDR picture quality
    • Superb 4K upscaling
    • Impressive HDR performance
    Cons
    • Backlight blooming
    • No HDR10 support
