What Is OLED?

Short for Organic Light-Emitting Diode, an OLED TV relies on self-illuminating pixels instead of an LED backlight, allowing for premium colour definition and contrast. 

What Is Neo QLED?

Exclusive to Samsung’s 4K and 8K televisions, Neo QLED (Neo Quantum Light-Emitting Diode) provides backlighting across the screen via tens of thousands of tiny LEDs to boost colour and brightness.

Finding Your Dream Samsung TV

So now you know what the difference is between Neo QLED and OLED, it’s time to meet your perfect Samsung TV match for any viewing occasion.

For Movie Nights To Rival Your Local Cinema

With a blockbuster 77-inch screen, wafer-thin profile to draw your eye straight to the action, and over 8 million self-illuminating pixels to optimise colour accuracy, movie nights will be bigger, better and brighter with this intensely cinematic Samsung OLED TV.

“If you’re a movie buff planning on building a home cinema around your new TV, you’ll be wanting the best contrast ratio and the richest colours possible to really showcase all those big-budget films – and this is where OLED technology really shines,” says Alice Clarke. “Especially in darkened rooms.”

Celebrate those winning moments in 85-inch glory, with no play ever lost to the shadows, thanks to Samsung’s Quantum Matrix Technology, while Samsung’s Motion Rate 200 will help to reduce blur from even the most fast-paced Formula 1 finish!

“Samsung’s Quantum Matrix Technology uses a layer of Mini LEDs for precise light control so you get deeper blacks and ‘right there in the stadium’ detail,” says Alice Clarke.

Can’t hear the commentary over your rowdy mates? Samsung’s Adaptive Sound will sort it! “This handy tech will analyse the noise levels in your room and boost the volume of dialogue on your TV when you most need it,” says Alice.

When Winning The Game Is Everything!

Gamers rejoice! With the new Samsung TV range, you can’t lose! All these Samsung big-screen TV models boast a lightning-fast refresh rate of 144 frames per second1, delivered via best-in-class HDMI 2.1.

“One of the most important features for gamers is a high refresh rate because it delivers smoother motion, and a chance to see enemies before they see you,” explains Alice Clarke.

No console? No problem! With the Xbox Game Pass app, you can also stream Xbox fan favourites like Halo or Minecraft straight to your set. All you need is a controller.2

For Incredible Viewing, Day Or Night

Got an extremely bright living room? The extraordinary brightness of the Neo QLED display, powered by Samsung’s Quantum Dot technology, wins the day by minimising the ambient light on your screen.

“As someone who has a very bright living room, the Samsung Neo QLED TVs have been among the best I’ve tested for reducing glare and still allowing the viewer to watch on even the sunniest days,” says Alice Clarke. “The screen can go nice and bright without noticeable light blooming, and the anti-glare technology makes a real difference.”

Because Design Comes First. Always!

You crave a big screen that works beautifully with your living room aesthetic? The Samsung QN900C Neo QLED 8K pushes the frontiers of design with a virtually invisible bezel and superslim border so you can enjoy an 85-inch, near edge-to-edge picture in ultra-high definition 8K (that’s 16 times the resolution of Full HD!). 

And when the show’s over? Switch to Ambient Mode + and display beautiful built-in artworks or images to match your decor.

“Having a screen this slim means it can be wall-mounted flush to blend with your walls. That thinness is made possible by Samsung’s One Connect Box that connects to the TV with a thin cable and hides neatly in your TV stand,” says Alice Clarke.

For Supercharged Sound

Samsung’s new headliner TVs also turn up the dial on audio to give home viewers a breathtakingly realistic cinematic experience. From rolling thunder to roaring crowds, Samsung’s Object Tracking Sound uses AI and built-in, multi-directional speakers to draw you deeper into the action.

“Object tracking audio, such as Dolby Atmos, is one of the most exciting audio innovations since stereo became widely available in the 1950s,” says Alice Clarke. “Movie sound mixers are really starting to take advantage of being able to move sound around the room more naturally for better immersion.”

Want to really knock it out of the park? Invest in Samsung’s flagship 2024 soundbar, the Samsung 11.1.4ch Dolby Atmos Soundbar. It has an amazing 11 audio channels, two rear speakers and a wireless subwoofer.

“I love the Q-Symphony feature in Samsung soundbars, which utilises the TV speakers as part of the sound stage, as well as the soundbar and any surrounds,” says Alice. “When paired with a TV like the Samsung QN900C 8K Neo QLED Smart TV, it can better place sound where you expect to hear it, like dialogue from the actor’s mouth, or hearing the monster creep up behind you.”3
