THIS is Why 8K Makes Sense! - Samsung Neo QLED QN900D (2024) 85" MiniLED TV Review

Sponsored in part by Best Buy. Buy the Samsung Galaxy Watch6 Classic (go.magik.ly/ml/22ry6/) and Galaxy Bud2 Pro (go.magik.ly/ml/22ry9/).
The Samsung Neo QLED QN900D is an 8K TV using MiniLED technology. Many often ask, "Is an 8K TV worth it?" I think I finally found a good reason why it makes sense. In this review of the 85" Samsung Neo QLED QN900D, I share why it makes more sense than most realize and whether or not the Samsung QN900D is the best 8K TV of 2024.

Nice video keep up the good work

[@ThisIsTechToday]

Thanks, Marcus!

[@AlexandruTraistaru-sl6ky]

Great video. Just one question: can you share your point of view how this will behave as PC monitor? Also is supporting multiple pc inputs same time? Thank you

[@Vamanos46]

Manufacturers are starting to split the image into 6 or more small sections, each with it's own processors and chips. That will allow 8k 120 fps and high bitrate content. Right now, processors are the limitation for video input bandwidth.

[@ThisIsTechToday]

Interesting!

[@Claudio_Fortclaud]

Wow you made this review video so incredible! You should be famous

[@ThisIsTechToday]

Thanks! Anything in particular that stood out to you?

[@Claudio_Fortclaud]

@@ThisIsTechToday yeah I liked how you explain so well, and that you explain the tv in any point of view, that makes everyone understand! Thanks a lot.

[@ThisIsTechToday]

Oh, thanks so much. I really appreciate it!

[@user-os3uw4fj8h]

8k televisions don't make economic sense until there's widespread native 8k content such as 8k Blu-ray movies and streaming platforms providing 8k programming.

[@ThisIsTechToday]

So you’re going to totally ignore the entire section where I explain how it makes sense even without native 8K content? Did you even watch the video?

[@sparkiegaz3613]

Extra pixels help my 900c 8k I’m sat about 7foot from it and it’s awesome…the upscale from 4K is great…as for 8k utube it looks even better.

[@johnniedudley5290]

@@sparkiegaz3613how is the upscaling on the 900c

[@thegoat164]

4K is STUPID! 8K is STUPIDER! What you really want to know is how's the contrast ratio on that new TV?

[@AnythingGoesJoJo]

I almost got the QN900D because it has more dimming zones but I compared it to a Z9K with less dimming zones and suprisingly I liked how it handles the picture. I bought the Sony Z9K still...Sony's processing and color accuracy is still better in my opinion.

[@gao1812]

Nice vid 👏

Thank you!

[@bajrangbalikabhakt5]

Bro I’m planning to buy tws earbuds but I saw your nothing ear a video and decided to go for them but on the back they have cancer and reproductive warnings. Shall I go for apple air pods as far as I researched they don’t have that . Pls clarify thanks

[@ThisIsTechToday]

Don’t worry about it. California will tell you that going outside will give you cancer.

[@BinVeto]

I have the same TV and the same size my only problem is i have it in my room and when my girlfriend decides to sleep she always wakes up just to say turn the brightness LOW loool specially when I’m watching something in HDR and yeah i have to watch it in filmmaker mode and even then i have turn the brightness low BUT it’s an awesome TV and it’s like having a theater in bed

[@ThisIsTechToday]

Haha! You get it. It’s crazy bright!!

[@SuperMassman]

I would decide after seeing it in person next to a 4k

[@ThisIsTechToday]

Makes sense!

[@Dandiego235]

At 12:27, a grid-like pattern can be seen on the screen. Is this normal?

[@ThisIsTechToday]

That's the calibration mode.

[@Dandiego235]

@@ThisIsTechToday I had a Samsung QN90C that had that grid on blue colors. I was wondering if the 8K TVs also have that problem.

[@sandeepsinghsandhu8418]

Is it normal for me to hear noises and conversations while turning noise cancellation on, on wh 1000 xm5 while not listening any music.

[@ThisIsTechToday]

Like….in your head or in the headphones? 😅

[@sandeepsinghsandhu8418]

@@ThisIsTechToday I was in bus and I was able to hear voices and I had noise cancellation on and another problem I am facing is it automatically changes from noise cancellation to ambient mode

[@ThisIsTechToday]

Ah, check the app. There is a setting that auto toggles and can adjust how much it is cancelling out. It’s an adaptive mode. Could change it to manual and max ANC Mode.

[@sandeepsinghsandhu8418]

@@ThisIsTechToday yeah it's called adaptive sound control got it. I set all to noise cancellation

[@ThisIsTechToday]

Did it fix the problem for you?

[@lexsanderz]

I suppose connecting a 4090 and running the tv at 4k 240hz gsync is too much to ask....

[@ThisIsTechToday]

I wish I had a 4090 lol

[@copperfootrealty1257]

I like it

[@ThisIsTechToday]

It’s pretty epic!

[@boico123]

Should I go from 4 k to 8 k ??? I mean I wantd to the 8 k not sure if worthy the money😂

[@ThisIsTechToday]

Depends on how big of a TV you plan to get and how close you’re sitting lol. Pretty much the 8K section.

[@jonathantheori7541]

Yeah that tv chews so much electricity and it heats up the room so much I went the Samsung s95c which is 4k and OLED and doesn't heat the room like crazy plus there isn't much 8k content so I wouldn't bother about 8k till 5-10 years maybe more

[@ThisIsTechToday]

Did you miss the entire section talking about 8K???

[@Ps3rikbr68]

​@@ThisIsTechToday Just a tip: I think you should've talk more about the upscale part. Unfortunately I can't find a video showing how does the processor handles when trying to upscale a low resolution content to 4k or 8k. Like 480p and 720p resolutions. 4k to 8k, I already know it works. But what about native 480p to 1080p? Or 720p to 4k? Is it possible?

[@we8463]

Great commercial for Samsung!😂

[@ThisIsTechToday]

They didn't sponsor it. I literally said it clearly and explicitly at the end. I even said I wouldn't choose it. What is wrong with you?
