If you’re ready to indulge yourself in an entertainment system that will absolutely blow you away, this Samsung QN75Q900RB 8K UHD TV with a sound system is for you.
In my perspective, the television is flawless: it loads quickly, there are no app lags, the colors are stunning, and the television itself is stunning.

The Samsung Q900R is an excellent 8k LED TV with excellent picture quality. It can be very bright in both SDR and HDR modes.
Despite having a VA panel, it has wide viewing angles thanks to the ‘Ultra Viewing Angle’ layer, which keeps an accurate image when viewed from the side at the expense of lower contrast.
Despite the low native contrast ratio, the very good local dimming support improves dark room performance significantly. It has excellent HDR performance and excellent reflection handling.
The Q900 has very low input lag and excellent motion handling. Finally, the Q900R, like all premium Samsungs since 2018, supports FreeSync variable refresh rate.
