BETTER THE DEVIL YOU NEO Samsung QN900A Neo QLED 8K

The Matrix franchise gets a new film this year (apparently), but now there’s another Neo in town. And while Samsung insists microled is the future of TV, it’s not done with QLED yet.

‘Neo QLED’ is the name Samsung has picked for its miniled sets (not to be confused with microled, a whole new tech with even smaller diodes), which replace the traditional TV backlight with a more precise and sophisticated solution. Powered by Quantum Matrix tech (yes, really), Neo QLED is claimed to eliminate blooming effects for cleaner images plus the promise of vibrant colour with wider dynamic range. The new Neo Quantum Processor uses deep learning for improved upscaling, delivering crisp pictures even with lower-res streams, plus there’s a speaker system that analyses what’s on screen for 3D positional output. Coming in 4K variants as well as this 8K beast, there are plenty of reasons to want one, but Samsung can only show you the door – you’re the one who has to walk through it.
