Rave Reviews for Samsung QLED 8K TV
Industry experts laud the ground-breaking features
JOHANNESBURG, South Africa, 24 October, 2018 – Renowned global consumer technology media outlets are heaping praise on the newly-released Samsung QLED 8K TV, the Q900R for its picture quality, design and its 8K AI upscaling technology. Unveiled at IFA 2018, the Q900R QLED 8K has been well received by industry experts and insiders.
“With Real 8K Resolution features embedded with Samsung’s proprietary 8K AI Upscaling technology, we’re proud to be pushing the boundaries of TV technology for consumers around the world,” says Reginald Nxumalo, Director: Consumer Electronics, Samsung South Africa.
Trusted Reviews, a renowned technology news and reviews media website based in the United Kingdom, awarded the Q900R a perfect score of 5 out of 5 stars noting that, “For a start, it’s the first ‘proper’ 8K TV. Secondly, it’s far and away the brightest TV ever released. Put these two innovations together, and you’ve got a set that can take you to picture quality places you’ve never been before.”
Pocket-Lint, a UK-based consumer technology news site, praised the processor, noting that it is “capable of processing huge volumes of data that helps to further improve the TV’s performance,” and the QLED 8K TV delivered “the best HDR (High Dynamic Range) experience that [they]’ve seen in any TV to date.”
HD Guru, a US-based technology review website, gave the Q900R an overall score of 5 out of 5 stating, “Even with Standard Dynamic Range Full HD content, colours were exceptionally bright and vibrant, where they were intended to be. The Samsung QLED 8K TV delivered the brightest pictures [they]’ve ever tested along with deep and rich black levels that registered nearly perfect black and clearly visible deep shadow detail.”
Forbes Magazine also expressed enthusiasm stating, “Even with so little native 8K to go on, though, it was instantly and staggeringly clear that all those extra pixels have a stunning and mesmerising impact on picture quality.”[1] Another renowned technology news outlet, Digital Trends, echoed the sentiment, “Right now, there’s no better 85-inch TV on the planet.”
AVS Forum, one of the biggest audio and video review forum, awarded the Q900R its coveted “Top Choice 2018” distinction saying, “If you can afford it, and you can fit it in your home, then there is no question that this-the Samsung Q900-is the AVS Forum Top Choice for 2018. It’s an amazing display by any measure, and of course it’s also first when it comes to 8K TVs you can actually buy.”
