Why This is Our Top Choice
“While Samsung has yet to introduce OLED TVs, they are considered a frontrunner in QLED TVs; its latest product, the Samsung QN900A, is proof. Its billion-colour, 8K-resolution display is just one of the many impressive highlights of this product.
Gamers will be able to make the most of the QN900A. Designed for ultra-smooth gaming, we bet that this is one of the best gaming TVs out there."
Features:
Fitted with four HDMI 2.1 ports, users can game at 4K-resolution at 120Hz with the most advanced consoles, including PS5 and Xbox Series X. FreeSync and G-SYNC plus variable refresh rate (VRR) support allows for less screen tear and more fluid HDR visuals.
Performance:
With wide viewing angles and an infinity screen, it is no wonder users were left stunned by its picture quality. They also lauded the TV's encompassing surround sound, likening it to that of a theatre. Such features will certainly make the QN900A a favourite among movie buffs.
If you’re into sports, the Samsung Q85A is a great choice for you.
Features:
It can get incredibly bright due to its Mini LED backlighting. Together with excellent reflection handling, glares will be a thing of the past. Thus, it suits well-lit lighting conditions better, but local dimming does help to improve dark room viewing.
Performance:
The QN85A has a wide viewing angle, great for game nights with some buddies. Quick response time provides smooth motion; its motion interpolation feature only further enhances motion clarity.
Samsung’s QN90A is a great - and cheaper - alternative to the Samsung QN900A.
Features:
It is equipped with a 120Hz panel, meaning speedy response time, smooth motion and little lag. Also present is a variable refresh rate (VRR) and an HDMI 2.1 port, vital for the QN90A to function as a full-fledged gaming TV.
Performance:
The impressive native contrast ratio meant that it works well in dark rooms. On the downside, the Game Mode affects its local dimming; black levels will increase and lower contrast. Blooming can be observed around bright objects as well.
The Frame is Samsung’s bid to turn their TVs into contemporary art when not in use.
Features:
As its name implies, it has a frame design, that easily matches any decor in your living space. It even offers customisable bezels to ensure the best possible pairing. The Frame can even double as an art piece in Art Mode.
Performance:
Users praised its fine picture quality, thanks to its 100% colour volume that's possible via QLED technology. Combined with Dual LED technology and native 4K resolution, life-like and detailed imagery can be generated.
The Samsung AU8000 is packed full of features, yet is very reasonably priced.
Features:
The sleek and minimalistic AU8000 boasts visual enhancers like Dynamic Crystal Colour as well as HDR10+ and HLG formats. It also has a Bluetooth connection and a built-in voice assistant, Bixby for convenience and optimised controls.
Performance:
Users love its ability to reproduce a realistic and vivid picture quality at native 4K resolution. They also liked how it is simple to set up and navigate, which will be great for the less tech-savvy and first-time owners.
Want a large TV without burning a hole in your pocket? Then consider the AU7000.
Features:
Similar to the AU8000, this native 4K-resolution TV also has HDR10+ and HLG support. But unlike its successor, the AU7000 has PurColour, which allows for a wide range of colours to be displayed. Moreover, its bezel-less design enables a more immersive viewing experience.
Performance:
With Tap View, users can mirror their selected content from mobile devices to the TV, allowing for a quick and effortless kickstart to a binge session. With vibrant colours and surround sound effects, users will surely enjoy the viewing experience.
Big is not always better, as Samsung’s 32” 2021 version of The Frame can attest.
Features:
Users can once again personalise its frame-like bezels, and like its predecessor, it can showcase artwork or photos when not in use thanks to the Art Mode. Uniquely, however, it comes with a multi-position stand, enabling pieces to shine their best in suitable orientations.
Performance:
The exclusion of Dual LED technology has probably affected its colour gamut, which is noticeably poorer compared to the 2020 variant. Nonetheless, this TV can still display FHD-resolution content in 100% colour volume through QLED technology.
A rotating TV sounds like something of fiction until you realise Samsung went ahead and came up with The Sero.
Features:
Samsung takes pride in The Sero being “the most mobile-friendly TV”, and it’s not hard to see why. Its one-of-a-kind rotating design will enable users to watch vertical videos while still providing a great horizontal display.
Performance:
The 4K QLED TV is rigged with robust 60W 4.1ch speakers, so users won’t need to worry about running short on bass. Additionally, The Sero has an integrated AirPlay 2 for effortless content casting via Apple devices. Disappointingly, it is limited to landscape videos.
Need a more budget-friendly alternative to the Samsung QN90A? Meet the Q60A.
Features:
With an excellent contrast ratio, the Q60A can display deep blacks, making it generally suitable for dark environments. Unlike the QN90A however, it does not support VRR technology as it only has HDMI 2.0 ports.
Performance:
Users had a responsive gaming experience with this TV thanks to an unusually low input lag. Unfortunately, a slightly slower response time will cause some blurriness in fast-paced scenes, and users will face a slower 60Hz refresh rate.
The Serif is another award-winning product of many from Samsung, and rightfully so.
Features:
Featuring an ingenious design, this native 4K-resolution TV is a stylish device that matches your decor. Designed with an elegant, all-around appearance in mind, the I-shaped TV also has a sleek metal stand that users can detach at will.
Performance:
The Serif is not only physically eye-catching but is also visually stunning. The QLED TV is equipped with HDR10+ and HLG support as well as exclusive, intricately designed patterns for The Serif in Ambient Mode, which kicks in when users are not watching.
Is QLED better than OLED?
If you’ve been looking up TVs, you would have come across the terms OLED and QLED. But how do they differ? Does one edge out over the other?
Price
QLED is the cheaper of the two. As OLED TVs are difficult to produce, not many manufacturers have dipped their toes into the market, making them somewhat exclusive, contributing to its high price tag. But OLED TVs will probably become cheaper over time as technology advances and better products are developed.
Picture Quality
Both variants have their advantages and disadvantages. QLEDs are significantly brighter than OLEDs, outperforming the latter in well-lit settings. However, OLEDs have deeper black levels and higher contrast, suitable for dark-room viewing. They tend to have wider viewing angles too.
Gaming Features
Response time, input lag and refresh rate matters a lot to competitive gamers. Fortunately, those are exactly what OLED TVs excel in. OLEDs offer faster response time, lower input lag and quicker refresh rates compared to their QLED counterparts, granting a crisp and intuitive gaming experience.
Is Samsung TV a Smart TV?
Well, it depends.
To determine whether the TV purchased is a smart TV, press the Home or Menu button on your remote control; see if there are a bunch of squares with logos for apps like Netflix and YouTube. For further confirmation, look through the menu for network connections like WiFi and an Ethernet port on the back of the TV.
If your model checked all of these boxes, you can call yourself the owner of a smart TV! But to save yourself from all of this hassle, it is wise to confirm a TV’s specifications and features before actually deciding on one.
Conclusion
Research is essential to find a TV that suits your living space and needs. You might have to do a lot of homework, but it will be worth it once your dream TV is right in front of you.
