Samsung Q9 series (2018) review: Sumptuous picture quality in designer garb at a luxury price

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. The fight at the top of the TV market has never been tighter. In one corner, the challengers are flagship LCD-based TVs like the Samsung Q9 reviewed here, the Vizio P-Series Quantum and the Sony Master Series Z9F. In the other, the undefeated champions: OLED TVs like the LG B8 and C8 and the Sony A9F.
Pros:
  • 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 hiding wires and stashing gear easy, and includes a unique Ambient mode that helps it blend into your decor when the TV is "off."
Cons:
  • 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.

Samsung QE65Q9FN review

But, by golly, there are so many reasons that you should get excited about the Samsung Q9FN. That direct, full array backlight is a revelation that, combined with Samsung’s quantum dot tech, results in the brightest, punchiest, most vibrant TV we’ve yet reviewed, with expertly controlled, zonal contrast that means the brightest elements don’t reduce the quality of the blacks. An OLED will still go blacker but, on the evidence of 2017 examples such as the Sony A1, it won’t dig up nearly as much dark detail or go nearly as bright. What’s more, no TV we’ve yet seen can beat the Q9FN for usability, breadth and depth of apps, or gaming features. We’re still in the early days of 2018 TVs and we’re yet to test one of LG’s new OLEDs, but a TV better and more complete than this is currently quite hard to imagine.
Pros:
  • Astonishingly punchy, bright and vibrant
  • Deep, detailed blacks
  • Loads of apps
  • Great for gaming
  • Genius evolution of OneConnect
Cons:
  • Sony does motion even better
  • OLEDs offer even deeper blacks and even better viewing angles

Possibly the best for 2018.

This is Samsung's flagship TV for 2018, and it is very nice. A. won't ship one to me in Hawaii, but I've had one from elsewhere for 2 weeks now. It's too early for full scale reviews of this model, but preliminary notices so far regard this set as a considerable advance over the 2017 models and a...
