Samsung begins release of 2025 QLED TVs and soundbars

Samsung Unveils Massive QLED TV | 115-inch QN90F Is Their Biggest Yet!

The Samsung QLED TVs and soundbars we saw at CES 2025 last January are starting to roll out for purchase. Today, Samsung has announced pricing and availability for the QN900F 8K (the 65- and 75-inch version), QN90F and QN80F 4K QLEDs, and the HW-Q990F and HW-Q800F soundbars. The 85-inch QN900F and entire QN990F 8K and QN70F 4K series will be released at an as-yet-unannounced date.

The Samsung flagship TV most of us are likely interested in is the QN90F — successor to last year’s QN90D. The QN90F will feature Samsung’s Glare-Free technology which is being incorporated into more and more of its TVs since debuting on the S95D QD-OLED TV. It uses the NQ4 AI Gen3 processor, and will upscale sub-4K resolution content, while using Neo Quantum HDR+ to boost brightness. Motion will be handled by Motion Xcelerator 165Hz.

The QN90F is available in a broad range of sizes (although the 115-inch will not be available until later in the year).

  • 115-inch QN90F: Coming later in 2025
  • 98-inch QN90F: $14,999
  • 85-inch QN90F: $4,499
  • 75-inch QN90F: $3,299

Alongside the QN90F will be the QN80F, which uses the NQ4 AI Gen2 processor (as opposed to the Gen3 on the QN90F), 4K AI Upscaling, and Motion Accelerator 144Hz. The QN80F will also have a big-screen size coming later in the year.

  • 100-inch QN80F: Coming later in 2025
  • 85-inch QN80F: $3,499
  • 75-inch QN80F: $2,299

Samsung is the only manufacturer we’re aware of planning to produce new 8K TVs in 2025, and the top of its 8K line is the QN990F series. It uses the company’s most advanced NQ8 AI Gen3 processor with 8K AI Upscaling Pro to upscale any content to 8K (considering there still isn’t a huge selection of native 8K content beyond some YouTube video). The QN990F also incorporates Samsung’s Glare-Free technology. The all-new Wireless One Connect Box allows for a wireless connection of up to 30 feet (the TV’s power cord will still need to be plugged in, obviously).

The QN990F uses Motion Xcelerator 240Hz for motion smoothing with sports and games, and AI Motion Enhancer Pro aimed to improve things like moving text. Dolby Atmos sound is supported and Object Tracking Sound Pro uses AI algorithms for sound spatial placement from the TV’s speakers.

When the QN990F is released, it will be available in four sizes ranging from 65 to 98 inches.

  • 98-inch QN990F: $39,999
  • 85-inch QN990F: $8,499
  • 75-inch QN990F: $6,499
  • 65-inch QN990F: $5,499

Available right now is the QN900F, which will also upscale content to 8K with Samsung’s 8K AI Upscaling and includes Glare-Free tech and a metal frame. It uses Motion Xcelerator 165Hz for its motion and Object Tracking Sound+ with Dolby Atmos support for spatial audio.

  • 85-inch QN900F: $5,499 (coming soon)
  • 75-inch QN900F: $4,299
  • 65-inch QN900F: $3,299

Not to be outdone by all the QLED news, Samsung has also launched two Dolby Atmos soundbars — the HW-Q990F and HW-Q800F. For the past few years, Samsung has sat on the throne of Dolby Atmos soundbars, with the HW-Q990D being the best soundbar with subwoofer available (although there have been some recent firmware issues with that model).

The Q990D includes two surround speakers and offers 11.1.4-channel Atmos performance, while the Q800F eschews the surrounds for a 5.1.2 configuration.

  • HW-Q990F: $1,799
  • HW-Q800F: $999

I went hands-on with Samsung’s two best new QLED TVs, and one of them stunned me
Samsung QN900C 8K TV

I recently flew to New Jersey to go hands-on with Samsung’s top three 2023 TVs. I measured. I viewed. In the end, one of them floored me.

During my one-day visit, I was able to get hands-on with the 65-inch Samsung QN95C Neo QLED, a 75-inch Samsung QN900C 8K Neo QLED, and the much anticipated 77-inch Samsung S95C OLED — aka QD-OLED TV.

Samsung's 2023 Neo QLED 4K and 8K TVs.

We got our first taste of Samsung's 2023 mini-LED backlit, Neo QLED TVs at CES 2023, and now we know what (most of) the new models will cost. The company has released pricing for its flagship QN900C Neo QLED 8K TV, as well as its 8K QN800C, and three 4K models: the QN95C, QN90C, and QN85C. All five TVs will be available in a variety of sizes at a mix of authorized retailers starting the week of February 20, 2023. Not every size will be available immediately and the king-of-the-hill 85-inch QN900C remains under wraps for now.

Though there are specific differences among the new 2023 Neo QLED models, all five possess:

On display at CES 2023, Samsung's 2023 TV lineup is getting a wide variety of upgrades, including thinner designs, better sound systems, 4K cloud-based gaming, and some interesting health applications that the company is borrowing from its mobile division. Here's everything you need to know.
MicroLED gets smaller, more affordable
Samsung was an early promoter of microLED display tech, which uses tiny LED lights as individual pixels instead of using them as the backlight on an LCD-based TV (LED TV, mini-LED TV). Unfortunately, microLED TVs have tended to be huge (starting at 110 inches), expensive, and somewhat limited in resolution at smaller sizes.

The company's new Micro LED CX, at 76 inches, is its smallest yet, and Samsung promises it will also be the most affordable microLED TV ever released.
