Samsung Q9FN series (QN75Q9FN) review

Intensely bright picture ; Deep black levels ; Minimized halo and blooming ; Superior off-angle viewing to competing LCD TVs ; A joy to use

No Dolby Vision ; HDR brightness is aggressive

The Samsung Q9FN is the best LED/LCD TV we’ve tested thanks to its superb picture quality and outstanding ease of use. It’s the whole package, and you’re going to want one.

Samsung Q9 TV review: Expensive LCD takes direct aim at OLED

Samsung's high-end Q9 delivers the best picture quality of any non-OLED TV on the market, scads of features and sweet design. So can it knock off its OLED rival from LG?

The Samsung Q9 has the best overall picture quality of any non-OLED TV I've reviewed, with exceedingly bright highlights, inky black levels with minimal blooming and best-in-class off-angle and bright-room performance. Its innovative design makes...

More expensive than OLED TVs with superior image quality. Bixby can't compete with Alexa or Google Assistant. Not available in a 55-inch size.

The Samsung Q9 is an amazing performer with exquisite design and loads of extras, but it costs more than OLED TVs and doesn't perform as well.

Samsung Q9FN QLED Smart 4K UHD TV (QN65Q9FNAFXZA)

The Q9FN TV proves Samsung's QLED technology can go toe-to-toe with OLED, with the widest color gamuts we've seen in a consumer display.

Very wide, accurate color. Strong contrast for an LCD TV. OneConnect box adds flexibility for wall mounting. Smart TV platform with voice assistant and smart home controls.

Expensive for a non-OLED TV. Samsung's Bixby is no Alexa or Google Assistant.

Bottom Line: The Q9FN TV proves Samsung's QLED technology can go toe-to-toe with OLED, with the widest color gamuts we've seen in a consumer display.

Samsung Q9FN 4K UHD TV review: Top-tier goodness, now significantly more affordable

Samsung's Q9FN TV offers better blacks than last year's model, and is arguably the best TV on the market. The series is also a lot less expensive than it was last year.

Excellent color and clarity ; Super stylish interface, remote, and connectivity ; Excellent HDR rendering

Doesn't support Dolby Vision ; Interface and remote combo are handsome, but not as efficient as they could be

Ultra Elite. Give me a break. Still, other companies lay it on even thicker, and the plain fact of the matter is that if any TV is deserving of superlatives, the Q9FN is. It’s a terrific view, and installers and interior design folks and the terminally...

Review: Samsung QE65 Q9FN | Back In Black! Samsung QE65 Q9FN

Samsung QE65Q9FN is the most awesome, high-end TV made by the Koreans.QE65Q9FN impresses with fantastic colours, dazzling contrast!

QE65Q9FN impresses with fantastic colours, dazzling contrast, and finally: Really deep black level!

The TV does not have a 100% correct colour balance out of the box and needs a proper calibration in order to perform its very best.

Samsung 65-inch Q9FN QLED TV Review: Who Needs OLED?

Samsung's best is on display on the 65-inch Q9FN QLED TV, and it's hard to overstate how good the end result is. This is Samsung's best version of QLED technology, and this set brings the LCD the closest it's ever been to OLED's industry-leading...

Sleek design reduces cable clutter ; Near-OLED levels of picture quality ; Strong HDR support ; Excellent 4.2-channel sound ; Great smart features

No Dolby Vision support ; Bixby is slightly less polished than competing voice assistants

The Samsung 65-inch Q9FN QLED TV is Samsung's best 4K TV, and it shows, with best-in-class LCD performance, excellent sound and plenty of smarts.
