Samsung - 55" Class Q900 Series LED 8K UHD Smart Tizen TV

Excellent TV, looks amazing, I love it. In love with it

Can not believe how clear the picture is. 8k Rock’s. The picture are is great. I have it hooked up to my fire stick & it works well. Still learning how to use it. Have a issue with turning the volume up/down. Could be operator error. Sound is awesome. We bought a open box special. Purchased the Geek Squad warranty. Definitely would recommend purchasing this awesome TV :)

I down rated this TV because of the inputs. The picture itself is stunning. It enhances all digital inputs up to near 8K quality. The inputs are separated from the monitor in a "one connect" box. This is both a plus and a minus. On the plus side, it reduces the weight of the monitor enough so that one person can place the TV or even mount it -- mine is mounted on a home entertainment center with a central TV mount. On the negative side is where to place the one connect box. I had no problems with this but it is a little surprising that all adverts and illustrations of the mounted TV does not show that box. That fact has surprised some people and resulted in negative ratings. That is not the reason I down rated this TV, however. The main reason as the title implies is the head scratching HDMI input set up. Of the 4 HDMI inputs, only HDMI 4 is HDMI 2.1 to support 8K/60 or 4K/120 input. However (and this is a big one) HDMI 3 which is HDMI 2.0 is the input that supports ARC. Are you kidding me??? If I have an AVR receiver with ARC/EARC and 8K or 4K/120 capability I lose that to gain ARC. Why in the world wasn't the HDMI 4 2.1 port created with ARC capability?? For me right now I have developed a work around. My Xbox Series S is direct connected to the HDMI 4 port so I get full video functionality. My desktop (I use steam for gaming) is routed thru my receiver with its ARC output connected to the TV's HDMI 3 port to get ARC audio capability from the TV to the receiver for my XBOX and direct to TV streaming. Audio for the desktop is via the one digital optical output on the desktop and one digital optical input on the receiver. This works for me now but connections should have been very simple -- device outputs to receiver inputs and receiver ARC and 8K output to TV HDMI 2.1 ARC input but as described that is not how this TV (confusingly) is configured.

I have tried several TV's, this is an exceptional TV from Samsung. I did not want to go beyond a 55" TV for my setup, art mode is great when I play an aquarium scenery in the back ground. I have several windows and a source of light I can not control where it's installed. I have LG OLED in the bedrooms because I can control the light in those rooms and are wonderful TV's to own. Samsung has the best technology when it comes to having the brightest displays with a lot of room light. It has a layer that blocks the mirror effect, take a look at the LG OLED when it's off compared to Samsung, the reflections are really bad, Samsung is a winner. Get the 55" or 65" and you will not be disappointed.

Great TV I’m very happy and I am satisfied that I made the best choice getting the Sony Bravia A8H 55 inch. I researched over two weeks before making my decision. Sony A8H vs Sony A9G vs LG CX vs Samsung Q90t. The Sony A8H has a brighter screen and better upgrades than the more expensive A9G The A9G can be used as a left center right speaker of a theater system and the A8H cannot but I don’t care. The A8H has left center right speakers in the screen and it sounds awesome. For a theater system I’ll just use normal outside speaker setup. LG CX is complicated and needs to calibrated to get the same quality picture that the Sony A8H already has straight out of the box. The LG CX needs complicated reconfiguration when changing from a T B station to a movie or sports. The LG CX can do everything equally to the Sony A8H but it takes a lot of manipulation to get there and you need to get a professional calibration done on the set before you can hope to see a picture as nice as the Sony A8H already comes with. The Samsung Q90t or any Samsung researched does not compare well with the Sony A8H The Samsung Q90t is a good contender for the LG CX though but not the Sony A8H. The one selling point that the LGCX has is the gaming upgrades. But for the Sony plays game’s amazingly enough that I don’t see anything missing that I would need to upgrade on. They say the LGCX is better for gaming but still has need of complicated configurations to be done in different settings and different games. The Sony plays games better than any TV I’ve ever played on. It’s amazing on games and it’s simple to use. Just simply plug load and play and the speed and picture is wonderful. I don’t think a little bit better gaming technology on the LGCX would even be recognizable to me. I don’t think I would notice the difference. The Sony plays games and views movies and sports and tv stations better than any tv I’ve ever owned or watched. Burn in, nope this will never happen and if it did I’m covered, but it won’t, the technology on this Sony A8H is set up to constantly protect against burn in. I haven’t read about anyone getting burn in on these. I’m not ever going to worry about burn in. This Sony A8H is great TV beautiful picture great in gaming and very very very user friendly Peace Jesus loves you, believe and ask Him in your heart and be saved.

This 8K tv is awesome. I got the 2019 version but I would recommend getting the 65". I heard something was different for the 55" vs the 65 " and now that I am writing this review I forgot what it was. The guy who installed it on GEEKSQUAD asked me why I got the 8K I tried to explain it to him but he tried to say I should have stayed with 4K. He was wrong. There is 8K content. So I made the right choice. The ONE CONNECT BOX is huge. Bigger than the last 4K tv I had with samsung. Way bigger and heavier but still I love everything about this 8k tv. I only wish samsung would start using 1Gbps or 10Gbps they are still using 100Mbps ethernet ports. But I use my Apple TV for 1Gbps for downloads and streaming.

I suppose a 55" 8K TV should not exist. From a normal watching distance there is very little difference between 720P and 4K. You only see a difference in 8K if you are a few inches away. However, this is a wonderful TV. There is nothing like the smoothness of an 8K screen. It fells more inclusive. You feel like part of the scene. With a top quality TV like this one, everything works just like it should. There are no problems. This TV also operates exactly like the larger 8K TV in our living room. The home screen and remote are the same. High quality, a great picture and easy to live with.

This TV looks phenoninal. My only gripe is it only has one 2.1 port, so I hope i cant get a new OneConnect box. To be fair I like a bright, clear, smooth picture. So QLED was a no-brainer and OLED was a no-go. And say what you want - The upscaling is amazing. Far above that of my 4K TV. Granted this one DOES have a much better processor...It can even stream in 4K and Atmos without buffering now WITHOUT my AppleTV 4K... But the fact it's only one 2.1 port wheb I want 3 AND ACTUALLY NEED 2 (One for input and one for eArc 31 mbps, not the bottleneck of 18 from 2.0) really hirts it
