Excellent coverage, one thing I would of loved to of seen covered though would of been how good this TV is with PC multitasking at 8K 60Hz and with "funkyzones" to control and display multiple windows. Another feature nobody covers is how good this TV may be at running 32:9 PC titles and just how big is that when displayed.

[@frostfire_mage]

Thanks Rodney, I have a 14" M1 Pro Macbook Pro I use for creating video's, editing photo's, writing scripts etc which probably won't be the best candidate for pushing the QN900B's PC multitasking features or 32:9 aspect ratio's for PC games. But If you do pick the TV up, let me know if you manage to test it yourself.

When you say it struggles with 720p content as do all 8k tvs... do you mean 8k upscaling handles old content worse than a comparable 4k tv? Does the upscaling fom 720 to 8k look worse than 720 to 4k? thanks

[@frostfire_mage]

Hey David, I believe I answered this on the Switch OLED thread, but re: The Samsung QN900B specifically… the upscaling is fantastic for 1080p and 4K, but even though the AI upscaling tech is fantastic in this TV, results for 720p upscaling in general are not great, so don’t expect it even with this TV.

[@davidbowyer6840]

[@NZ1984Bitusa]

Good Review ! So with non 4k (or 8k) content do you still get clear & sharp images (the pixels don't simply become blurry) ? If you watch TV via set top box which has only 1080p or less are you happy with the quality ?

[@frostfire_mage]

For 1080p it's not going to look as sharp as 4k upscaled but still upscales very well, I watch streamed sport in upscaled 1080p and still find the experience immersive. For 720p - All 8k TV's struggle, and the QN900B is no different.

Really good review

[@frostfire_mage]

Really nice comment 👍🏻

[@DBLCreations]

Thank you so much for this review man! I am so in love with this tv's design! From the moment i saw it, i wanted this tv but through reviews i learned that the model before this one (QN900A) wasn't that good. This time around though, with the 900B, apparently it's a different story. Which made me so happy! I am a gamer as well. I have a PS5/Series X. The only thing that worries me a bit is the lower resolution content. I have a Nintendo Switch as well for example. And i'm a bit worried as to how it will perform. Same with the fact that i also have retro consoles like a PS3 & Retron 4. For movies & series i'm not too worried as most of them are already in 4K. I do wonder though, is it noticeable, at all? Or does it just look good...? I really really love this tv's design and i finally want to make my buying decision. My current 55" tv really needs to be upgraded. It's not even 4K. I would go with a 75" this time around. What do you think? Will i be happy with the picture quality of this tv? (Even with lower resolution content?) Or should i look at something else? The other thing is that i love the one connect box as well. I think it's a really clever idea and because i'm a disabled person it would be easier to reach for the ports if needed!

[@frostfire_mage]

The Nintendo Switch looks fine for 1080p games, but not great for 720p or below (but as I’ve said previously this is the same for all 8k TV’s not just the QN900B). For anything bigger than 75” go for the 8K QN900B (with that amazing 4k upscaling). It’s worth it! Reaching the ports easier, with the one connect box is great too!
