The 30-Second Version
The Samsung QN900F is a stunner with top-tier audio and a glare-free 8K screen that upscales everything to near-perfection. It's the leader in our display and sound benchmarks, but you'll pay a premium and won't fully utilize 8K yet. Worth it if you want the best MiniLED money can buy.
Overview
Look, the Samsung QN900F isn't playing around. This 65-inch 8K MiniLED TV packs a Quantum Matrix backlight, 4.4.2-channel sound, and a near-edgeless metal design that looks straight out of a concept gallery. It's the kind of set that makes you want to rewatch everything you own just to see what the NQ8 AI Gen2 processor can do with it. In our database, its audio and display scores sit at the 99th percentile, top of the heap, bar none.
But all that tech comes with a catch: it's pricey, and 8K content is still more of a promise than a reality. The upscaling is seriously impressive, turning even standard Blu-rays into something that approaches 8K crispness, but you're paying a premium for resolution you might not need yet. If you're fine with that, the QN900F delivers an experience that's hard to match, especially for sports and cinematic eye candy.
Performance
Our testing backs up the hype. The MiniLED panel gets shockingly bright and handles HDR10+ and HLG with ease, though its HDR performance lands at a solid 84th percentile, great, but not the absolute best for dark-room viewing. The 120Hz native refresh rate jumps to 165Hz with Motion Xcelerator, and with FreeSync Premium Pro and VRR, gaming feels buttery smooth. Input lag is practically nonexistent. The real star is audio: a 70W 4.4.2 speaker system with Object Tracking Sound+ and Dolby Atmos creates a wide, room-filling soundstage that actually makes you forget about a soundbar. Just don't expect it to crush reflections in a sun-drenched patio; our outdoor score tanked at 67.8, so it's best indoors.

Value & Pricing
Street price varies from $2200 to $2800 depending on where you buy, a $600 spread that's worth chasing. At the lower end, the QN900F feels like a viable splurge for an 8K flagship with audio this good and a design that oozes quality. But compare that to the LG C5 65-inch OLED at around $1800, and you're paying $400 more for 8K resolution that most content can't use, plus a slightly weaker dark-room contrast. If you want the best MiniLED Samsung makes and you're all-in on future-proofing, the $2200 price tag is fair. Just don't pay the full $2800.
Price History
vs Competition
Stacked against the LG C5 OLED, the QN900F wins on brightness and anti-glare, but the C5's perfect blacks and pixel-level contrast are unbeatable for movie nights in a dark room. The Sony BRAVIA 5 offers superior motion processing and a more natural color tone, though it tops out at 4K and doesn't get as bright. The TCL QM8K and Hisense U7 give you fantastic 4K MiniLED performance for half the price, but their audio and build quality don't come close. If 8K is your hill to die on, Samsung's nearest competitor is its own QN900D, but the QN900F's Glare Free panel and AI processing give it a clear edge.

Common Questions
Q: Does the QN900F support 4K at 120Hz for PS5 and Xbox Series X?
Absolutely. All four HDMI ports are 2.1 with support for 4K 120Hz, plus Motion Xcelerator can push up to 165Hz with VRR for PC gaming.
Q: How effective is the 8K upscaling for regular cable or streaming?
The NQ8 AI Gen2 processor with 256 neural networks does a remarkable job; even 1080p streams look noticeably sharper, though you'll still see the limits of the source material.
Q: Is the glare-free feature really that good?
Yes, it uses Samsung's most advanced anti-glare layer and we found it nearly eliminates reflections in bright living rooms, making daytime viewing a joy.
Who Should Skip This
Skip the QN900F if you mostly watch in a dark theater room, an OLED like the LG C5 will give you deeper blacks and better contrast for less money. If you're on a budget, the TCL QM8K delivers excellent 4K HDR at half the price, and you won't miss the 8K on most content. Also, if you plan to use the TV outdoors or in a sunroom, the mediocre sunlight performance could sour the experience.
Verdict
Buy this TV if you want a showcase piece that wows with upscaled 8K detail, punchy HDR, and the kind of built-in sound that actually fills a room. It's built for cinephiles, sports nuts, and gamers who want a premium display that'll still feel cutting-edge three years from now. Just know you're paying for tomorrow's resolution today.
