Engineered for the most immersive and responsive experience, Samsung Neo QLED makes super smooth, ultra crisp, next level HDR gaming on a big screen a reality. Q-Symphony uniquely allows TV and soundbar speakers to operate simultaneously for better surround effect without muting TV speakers. However, Samsung is keen to point out that more and more 8K content is on the way, with the Rugby World Cup being broadcast in 8K from September 20, as well as the 2020 Olympics.

Of course, while the Q80T sounds good for a TV, particularly one at this level, it can only do so much, and a picture performance as good as this should really be partnered with a capable soundbar at least. We aim to offer the best service possible to people in the trade or who are competent enough to repair their own products. With Certified AMD FreeSync Premium Pro™ core technology, you'll experience reduced stutter and screen tearing as well as a superior combination of smooth gaming at peak performance, exceptional high dynamic range visuals and low latency for a true game-winning performance. There are rare occasions when playing an HDR video that the Samsung’s vibrancy seems a touch exaggerated – Luv looks a little artificially rosy when she enters Niander Wallace’s yellow-lit chamber – but, overall, the Q80T’s approach to colour is one of its greatest strengths. The surprisingly deep bass is thankfully free of the artificiality that’s common of TVs with small drivers, the midrange is clear and naturally weighted, and the treble is rounded off enough to avoid harshness.Just don’t expect any of its TVs to launch with Dolby Vision support on Samsung TVs; it looks like the brand is sticking to its own HDR10+ format for now.

Quantum Dot display technology, unlike others, is able to transform light into breath-taking colour that'll look just as impressive ten years down the line.However, reports indicate that the Q700T’s Quantum HDR rating (a scale created by Samsung itself) is only HDR 8x, which is lower than Samsung’s 4K Q80T with its HDR 12x rating.

Samsung insists that it’s not a replacement for last year’s Q80R, as you'd expect, but is instead the successor to the Q70R, even though the specs seem in some ways closer to those of the former than the latter. Watch gloomy shadows, sun-scorched scenes and more in true-to-life quality with rich colour and remarkable contrast. Motion Xcelerator Turbo is able to double the refresh speed and deliver 120Hz gaming-monitor performance on your TV. Variable Refresh Rate (VRR) is supported too, including AMD’s FreeSync, allowing the Q700T’s panel to match its refresh rate to the frame rate of the game for tear-free gaming.Previously, he was the Senior Editor of Home Entertainment at TechRadar, covering TVs, headphones, speakers, video games, VR and streaming devices. And while Samsung says QLED TV sales have increased by "200% year-on-year", owning an 8K TV is a pipe-dream for many. Everything is tested by our dedicated team of in-house reviewers in our custom-built test rooms in London, Reading and Bath. Each household may only recycle one of each type of product and will receive only one trade-up discount for each product type recycled. This year's cheapest QLED, the Q60T should offer a more mid-range performance than the other QLEDs in the range, with edge-lighting rather than full array – and a less advanced processor than its siblings.

We’ve also received refreshes of its Samsung The Frame TV that looks like a painting (now significantly slimmer) and its outdoor TVs with Samsung The Terrace. In fact, Samsung has reduced the number of TVs in its range with One Connect to just two: the Q95T and the 8K Q950TS. The built-in TV speakers work together to deliver virtual 3D surround sound with Dolby Atmos technology – for truly cinematic surround sound.Maximise your experience with the ultimate TV set-up that lets you change between 21:9 and 32:9 screen ratios. Adaptive Sound+ is definitely worth using, though, as everything sounds quite small-scale without it. Quantum Dot display technology, unlike others, is able to transform light into breath-taking colour that will look incredible for years to come.
