Samsung Q950TS

From £1,199 samsung.com

The 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 exact 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
