Samsung's flagship big-screen 8K TV can be picked up at its lowest-ever price this Cyber Monday, but the deal ends tonight – 1am ET / 10pm PT.
The 75-inch QE75QN900D started life at $6299 but can now be picked up for $4500 at Best Buy thanks to a huge $1800 saving.
Don't need quite such a big screen? The 65-inch QN900D is also massively discounted, now $3500 at Best Buy. Meanwhile, the 85-inch receives the biggest discount of the lot ($2000), falling to $5500 at Best Buy.
This TV just won a 2024 What Hi-Fi? Award as the 'Best 8K TV' on the planet, with our TV experts concluding: "Its picture quality improves considerably in just about every way on its predecessor, crucially leaving clear blue brightness water between it and 2024’s top OLED TVs, and rewriting the upscaling rule book to remind us in no uncertain terms that 8K TVs don’t have to be fed 8K content to make a difference."
Thanks to the remarkable efforts of the QN900D's latest 8K upscaler, the TV crucially makes a compelling case for 8K TVs even in the unlikely event that 8K content never becomes a thing. Thanks, presumably, to the massive contribution of AI, the precision with which the QN900D adds the tens of millions of extra pixels required to turn 4K and HD sources into 8K pictures feels, to quote our QE75QN900D review, "almost mystically impressive".
While having a bright screen is great and all, this doesn’t always equate to good picture quality. However, the lighting system of this TV uses Mini LEDs, meaning far more separate lights are packed into the screen, raising the potential for more precise light control. And the Samsung's implementation is fantastic.
The premium 8K panel enables the flagship model to meet today’s stringent television energy consumption rules while achieving a 20 to 30 per cent boost in brightness with HDR content over last year's 75-inch QN900C model.
It also holds plenty of opportunities for gamers. All four of its HDMIs are equipped to handle the latest cutting-edge features of 4K/120Hz, 144Hz refresh rates if your PC supports them, VRR (including AMD Freesync Premium Pro) and ALLM switching. Plus, of course, 8K games at up to 60Hz refresh rates should you be lucky enough to have a PC rig capable of rendering so many pixels.
With its eight reasonably sizeable midrange drivers and other speakers arranged all around the screen’s edges, not to mention 90W of total power, the QN900D talks a good audio game, even though it is arguably more impressive on paper than in practice. That said, premium TVs rarely offer great audio, and we would always suggest pairing one with a separate Dolby Atmos soundbar or surround speaker package so that the TV's picture talents are complemented by equally good audio talents.
If you can afford a "wow" TV such as this one, we wouldn't hesitate to add it to your basket in the final hours of Cyber Monday. Sure, it's still expensive at its $4500 Cyber Monday price, but it's worth it if you can afford it.
