Samsung
Q950TS
GR8 K
From £1,199
samsung.comhe Q950TS is Samsung’s
latest attempt to sell you
something you didn’t
know you wanted. 8K is
still struggling to find its place in the
world – the idea of 33 million pixels of
detail (compared to the suddenly
minuscule 8 million pixels of 4K)
certainly sounds tempting, but there
isn’t a stack of 8K content available to
watch, and it won’t suddenly appear.
But Samsung sees a world that isn’t
so reliant on content being the exactT
right format for your screen – it’s
aiming to make its 8K TVs the best
4K TVs you can buy. AI upscaling
technology is intended to make
Netflix, Amazon Prime Video,
Disney+ and anything else you watch
look appreciably better – more
detailed, and more lifelike – than
even the best 4K TVs can manage.
Can it be true?
The Q950TS is Samsung’s flagship
8K QLED range for 2020. It’s
available in 65-inch and 85-inch
screen sizes as well as the £7,999
75-inch variant we’re testing here.
The 65-inch costs a mere £5,999,
while the whopping 85-inch screen
is yours for a cool £11,999.Display sizes 65, 75, 85 inches Panel 76 8 0
