Sony, known for realistic immersive views, offers a full line of mini LED and OLED TVs, while LG has rollable OLED TV. The options are really limitless, but did you know that Samsung offers a $40,000 98-inch Neo QLED TV? It’s at the very top of the line, far surpassing the other Neo QLED 4K TVs which on average cost around $2,000 depending on screen size. There’s a premium here, but let’s unpack this 98-inch as well as some other televisions that won’t break the bank as much.
98-inch QN100B Neo QLED 4K TV ($39,999.99 at Samsung)
So for the price you’re getting a 98-inch TV—truthfully 97.5-inches when measured diagonally—, which is undoubtedly massive and truly an all-screen experience. It’s the largest QLED TV that Samsung makes. In terms of picture quality, it sports all the quality of a QLED with vibrant colors and deep blacks. Now if you’re considering a TV this large, you’ll want to make sure you have the sheer space for this. To put into perspective though, this size TV would likely be the ultimate home theater experience. It’s up to a full 4K resolution at 3,840 x 2,160 and supports a number of standards including HDR and HDR 10+. It’s just 0.8-inches thick as well, so when hung on a wall, it’s not going to stick out very far. And your eyes won’t be distracted by massive bezels here. It’s also the flagship Neo QLED in Samsung’s 2022 lineup. Behind the front glass and other layers, are thousands of miniature LEDs—aka Mini LEDs—which light up or turn off, pass through a Quantum Dot layer among others, to create the image. Controlling all of this is Samsung’s Neo Quantum Processor 4K, and the result is a precisely created or translated image. The result should be deep contrast points and excellent black levels, paired with vibrant colors that are both realistic and aiding in immersion. It’s up to a full 4K resolution with a 120Hz refresh rate that can be scaled. This way when you’re playing Forza on an Xbox Series X or watching live sports, the content will look buttery smooth. For sound, Samsung’s packed in a 120-watt 6.4.4 channel system which pushes sound out the top and from the sides. Of course, though for a complete sound experience you’ll likely want to pair this with a soundbar. At $40,000 there is definitely a premium being paid here and the cost is a bit prohibitive. But for the price you get the largest TV in Samsung’s Neo QLED family and with that sheer size, there is more room for mini LEDs to craft an excellent picture.
65-inch QN90B Neo QLED 4K TV ($1,699.99, originally $2,299.99 at Samsung)
For quite a bit less, you can still get a sizable 65-inch Neo QLED TV from Samsung. The QN90B is an excellent Mini LED TV that stands out in a pretty crowded market, and for the price you’re getting excellent picture quality. Like the more expensive QN100B, Samsung’s Mini LED technology is the star here and lets the QN90B be used in a space even with a ton of bright natural light to overcome. The 65-inch TV can get plenty bright to make glare or reflections not really a concern. Though, you’ll likely want to place the TV where it is not always in direct sunlight. And in my testing with this model specifically, you’ll also benefit from wide viewing angles. Meaning that even when watching from an off-axis, you won’t have an issue with viewing the screen itself. Much of the experience is immersive with bright pops of vibrancy and no real distraction from the design. The QN90B can be used with the included center stand or mounted on a wall. You also get plenty of ports and the built-in Tizen smart interface lets you access all the major streaming services out there. Additionally, it’s discounted by $600 for the 65-inch size and you get 3-months of Xbox Game Pass Ultimate for free. With that you can use the Xbox Game Pass app, and as long as your internet connection is strong enough, you can stream games right to your TV. If you’re looking to spend a little less for a bigger screen, Samsung’s QN85B—the step below the QN90B—is an excellent TV to consider as well with slightly less dimming zones behind the panel to control the visuals. For most people though, this picture should be just as good and you can save it a bit. It also offers the same upscaling of less than 4K content to 4K and supports 120Hz like the rest of the Neo QLED family. If you’re more focused on sheer size versus the latest in picture technology, Samsung offers some more affordable cheaper options.
85-inch Q70A 4K QLED TV ($1,899, originally $3,299.99 at Samsung)
While this isn’t a Neo QLED with Mini LED technology, this is still a QLED for excellent color reproduction. What makes a QLED a QLED? Well, it still features LED—specifically a Dual LED backlighting—behind the panel but it passes through a layer of Quantum Dots to create the image. Here, it supports 100% color volume and delivers up to a full 4K resolution. This is also a 2021 model, but will still upscale content thanks to the AI Quantum Processor 4K and features a Tizen smart interface. It’s also $1,400 off the 85-inch size. If you’re looking to spend a little bit less, the Q70A specifically is also available in 50”, 55”, 65, and 75” sizes, plus Samsung still has some stock of the Q60B, Q89B, and the Q60A which all boast Quantum Dot technology. Prices are accurate and items in stock at time of publishing.
