Samsung QN990F review: what the specs say
Samsung's current 8K Neo QLED flagship, carried into 2026 without a refresh. At $5,499.99, Samsung's 2025 model sits at the premium end of the category — the TVs we compare run from $279.99 to $12,999.99. It scores 8.1/10 overall, calculated from published specifications across 8 categories rather than from a subjective impression.
Its strongest showing is Brightness & HDR at 9.7/10 — peak nits and HDR format support for highlight detail. The weakest is Value at 4.5/10, which is the trade-off to weigh before buying: if that is the specification you care about most, one of the alternatives below will serve you better.
Worth knowing before you buy: carried into 2026 without a refresh — same generation as 2025, not a new-for-2026 model; and extremely limited native 8K content library. Every specification on this page comes from Samsung's own documentation or a verified retail listing — where a figure is not published, the table says so rather than estimating it.
