Well, here we go, people. The 2025 TV season is upon us, and we are kicking off the reviews with the beautiful Samsung QN900F 8K, in the 75″ size. This Samsung TV is also available in 65-inch and 85-inch variants, and I suspect that most will be snagging the 65″ as it sits right in the middle of the size range. But, don’t rule out the 75″ as these TVs are getting easier to handle and require much less effort than ever before to set up.
Estimated reading time: 18 minutes
The new Samsung QN900F comes in with a bunch of new features, a new interface, glare-free technology and of course, some AI wizardry. Let’s get into this full review now.
The Quick Take
I had the privilege of having a handful of Samsung’s new TVs here in my home to use for this and upcoming reviews. While this is certainly an advantage, in some ways, it also makes things very difficult. Why? Because having access to several TVs and enjoying all of them, makes it challenging to parse out my quick takes.
That said, The Samsung QN900F is the little brother to the QN990F. There are some things missing here that the older brother has, but I don’t think the majority of users will care about those things. I would recommend the Samsung QN900F to those of you looking to get into a premium 8K TV but don’t need any extras that don’t truly make the entertainment experience, better. Though, if you have the cheddar and want to know more about the QN990F, my review of that TV is coming soon!

Overall, the Samsung QN900F performs its AI wizardry with Samsung Vision AI to provide a hyperreal 8K picture with the tiniest details unlocked by Quantum Matrix Mini LEDs, immersive audio with top channel speakers, and a brand new Samsung User Interface. The nearly edgeless screen with glare free technology rounds out an immersive 8K experience. Samsung is still killing it in the 8K market, even when others are throwing in the towel.

Design
So, I’ve been saying this since last year in the TV reviews I’ve done. The aesthetic design of TVs doesn’t change all that much year-over-year. I mean, this is a slab of glass, some electronics, and a plastic back and that makes it difficult to really change the look of it. So I’m not going to spend as much time on design as I used to because there’s not much to say.
Let me start with the mounting options. You can wall mount this TV, which is what I would do if it were mine to keep. But for my testing, I used the included plastic legs. These legs are pretty thin, and they were easy to install, and they leave a minimal amount of space under the TV. So you may have some issues placing some soundbars under there.
The frame of the Samsung QN900F is made of metal, and it encloses the Neo QLED 8K panel. It’s not a massive frame, yes you can see it and the bezels, but it looks sleek and clean. The big brother to the Samsung QN900F is the QN990F and that one has the bezeless look. Review coming soon.
Around the back you have a textured plastic cover that also houses several cable management channels which are great to keep things looking tidy. The VESA mounting points are here as well, and the slots for the included legs. You do have two options for height for those legs to go into.
Finally, the ports for the Samsung QN900F are back here as well. These are recessed into the back, like almost every other TV out there. The bigger QN990F has the One Connect system, which I vastly prefer, but that does cost you more. Really, once you set up your TV and get the connections in, most people won’t be moving connections much, so this works. Here are the ports and connectivity features you get to play with.
- HDMI: 4
- HDMI Maximum Input Rate: 8K 60Hz, 4K 165Hz (For HDMI 1/2/3/4)
- HDMI Audio Return Channel: eARC
- HDMI-CEC: Yes
- USB: 2 x USB-A
- Ethernet (LAN): 1
- Digital Audio Out (Optical): 1
- RF In (Terrestrial / Cable input / Satellite input): 1/1 (Common Use for Terrestrial)/0
- Wi-Fi: Yes (Wi-Fi 6E)
- Bluetooth: Yes (BT5.3)
Overall, Samsung did what it could with the design here. I mean, let’s face it, the display is what really matters, but the metal frame they included here, gives it the Samsung QN900F the look of the company’s lifestyle TV, The Frame. It’s really nicely done and accents the display very well. My only gripe, and this is with every TV that has ports recessed in the back, is that those ports can be a PITA to get to. At least in certain mounting scenarios, which don’t apply to everyone.
Display
The Samsung QN900F houses a Neo QLED 8K display with a refresh rate of 120Hz (up to 4K 165Hz depending on if you’re gaming) and is backed with Samsung’s Quantum Matrix Technology Pro and its 8K Dimming Pro Technology. If you don’t want to read any further, let me just say…the Samsung QN900F display is brilliant, and your friends will be awestruck.
Included with the Samsung QN900F is the company’s Glare-Free anti reflection technology. This has been a source of contention among reviewers, some reviewers do not like it, but I love the Glare Free tech. I do not agree that it affects picture or color quality. The colors and vibrancy on the display are as brilliant as ever. I am on team Glare Free.
Glare Free also gives the Samsung QN900F incredible viewing angles, what the company calls Ultra Viewing Angle. This means, if someone is sitting far off axis, they will have a better experience than if the TV had no Glare Free tech. I believe normal everyday users, like you in my audience, will appreciate this feature. The TV snobs and home theater elites might disagree, but they are the minority.
Motion Xcelerator 165Hz is yet another display tech that enhances your favorite video games and even sports programs. The high refresh rate makes it so you can enjoy your content with virtually no detectable lag or blur. With dynamic refresh technology, it supports VRR games at up to 4K 165Hz and testing with the Xbox One X, playing games was a pleasure.
Auto HDR Remastering on the Samsung QN900F, brings your SD content into clearer focus, at least it tries. Samsung has been doing AI upscaling for several years and it works. But not with everything, it is still learning, but I can confirm that on some SD content, I can see a more clear and sharp picture with what is now called Auto HDR Remastering.
The Samsung QN900F makes colors pop, this is nothing new for Samsung; the color accuracy and saturation make everything looks clean and bright. The brightness is off the chain, and I think Samsung improved its ambient light sensors. I did not like Samsung adjusting the brightness for me in the past, but this TV, and last year’s model, did an impressive job.
Contrast has been getting far better on these TVs, compared to the king of contrast, OLED. The contrast on the Samsung QN900F is excellent, and the whites are clean and crisp. The mids, like the grey and murky areas of a scene, come out nicely and aren’t overly black like some OLED TVs can do. I love how Samsung is improving its technology year over year.
Overall, the Samsung QN900F is what other 8K TVs aspire to be: outstanding color, fantastic contrast, and impressive brightness. The new AI upscaling features and performance bits, more in the performance section, make this a beast of a TV.
Setup
The Samsung QN900F 8K is available in 65-inches, 75-inches, and 85-inches sizes. Our review unit was the 75-inch version, and I highly recommend two people to handle this unit. While this TV does have a metal frame around that contains the display, it’s still fairly heavy and awkward for one person to handle. Besides, you need to take care of your back, I know this very well.
That said, setting this TV up is very straightforward and getting the legs mounted was simple, although, I do think the legs could be built a bit better. I really prefer pedestal stands over legs, but that does add to the cost of the TV. I’m sure that Samsung tested these, and I am sure they’re OK, it’s just a personal preference. Many users will opt to wall mount. But, these legs allow for two different clearance levels.
Software setup of the Samsung QN900F is a breeze and can be done via the SolarCell remote or smartphone with the Samsung SmartThings app. SmartThings works on iOS and Android but seems more seamless on a Samsung mobile phone. When you push the power button on the remote, the remote will pair with the TV, and you’re ready to follow the on-screen instructions.
The setup is pretty basic and standard. One thing I noticed that was different from last year, is that it seems a requirement to login into a Samsung account to use the TV. I recommend signing up for a Samsung account anyway and linking your TV to your account. It makes some things more accessible. Once you complete the setup, downloading your favorite streaming apps and logging into them is just a matter of downloading them from Samsung’s app store. If you have a Samsung account and are replacing a Samsung TV, you could restore the new TV from a backup of your previous TV.
Overall, the setup is straightforward, and Samsung even walks you through it step by step. The company has been doing an impressive job at making setup easy and getting you to watch as quickly as possible, and the new user interface is fantastic, more on that next.
Software/User Experience
The last few years of Samsung TVs have seen the user experience and user interface change, but not always for the better. Last year was particularly rough, I felt like the UI/UX had stalled and maybe even taken a step back.
So when I first set up the Samsung QN900F, I was very pleased by the user interface and experience I was treated to. The idea seems to be to mimic and emulate Samsung’s One UI 7 from its Galaxy mobile devices. And that, to me, was an excellent idea. The company calls it One UI Tizen.
This new user interface is far better than anything Samsung has ever done on its TVs. I feel like the menus and settings and everything you need to get to, is in a more logical place and simpler to navigate. Of course, this is a Samsung TV, so there are a ton of features, including the new Samsung Video AI. Here’s a short list of what to expect, and then we’ll talk a bit about Samsung Video AI.
- Operating System: Tizen™ Smart TV
- Art Store: Yes
- Smart Service:
- SmartThings
- Matter
- IoT-Sensor Functionality
- Smart Assistants (Built-In): Bixby, Alexa
- Works with AI Speaker: Alexa, Google Assistant
- Far-Field Voice Interactions: Yes
- Web Browser: Yes
- Samsung Health: Yes
- Multi Device Experience:
- TV to Mobile
- Mobile to TV
- TV initiate mirroring
- Sound Mirroring
- Wireless TV On
- Tap View
- Multi-View: Up to 4 Videos
Many of these things have been on Samsung TVs for a long while, but Samsung Vision AI is new to the Samsung QN900F and the rest of the 2025 lineup. So let’s briefly cover some of what this is all about.
Samsung describes the feature as, “Advanced processing powers Samsung Vision AI for hyperreal 8K picture with the tiniest details unlocked by Quantum Matrix Mini LEDs, immersive audio with top channel speakers, and breakthrough TV experiences. A nearly edgeless screen with glare free rounds out an enriched 8K experience.”
Vision AI also learns from what you choose to watch and what you choose to like, this helps the software to offer up content that you may have never known existed. You can use Vision AI to translate foreign languages from the TV, and you can use its Generative AI to create wallpapers for your TV. It’s an interesting set of AI features and with AI continuing to grow, these aren’t going anywhere.
Overall, the software experience and Samsung’s new AI features, along with the remarkable new One UI Tizen interface, makes this the most significant user experience in the entire time I’ve been reviewing Samsung TVs.
Sound Quality
The Samsung QN900F is one of the company’s higher end models and therefore, gets a very nice audio treatment. Here are the specs on the audio side of this TV.
- Speaker Type: 4.2.2CH
- Output Power: 70W
- Dolby Atmos: Yes
- Object Tracing Sound (OTS): OTS+
- Q-Symphony: Yes
- Active Voice Amplifier (AVA): Yes (Active Voice Amplifier Pro)
- Adaptive Sound: Yes (Adaptive Sound Pro)
- Bluetooth Audio: Yes
- 360 Audio: Yes
Ever since Samsung introduced OTS and Q-Symphony, I have loved the sound on Samsung TVs. And when paired with a compatible Samsung soundbar, holy moley, absolute fire!
Object Tracing Sound is back, which makes you feel like you’re in the middle of the action with a directional, realistic sound that projects from the TV speakers. Once again, the soundstage has improved overall, pushing vocals to the front and creating spatial depth between sound effects, objects in a scene, people, and nature; everything is just enhanced and separated.
Samsung is leading the way in proper on device speaker technology. The Samsung QN900F isn’t the only Samsung TV with great sound; even some of its mid-tier and affordable TVs have significant sound improvements. But the Samsung QN900F certainly is a killer sound machine.
Overall, I think many users will be delighted with the speakers and sound of the QN900F and may find no need to add a soundbar. That is a significant saving for users, and I think most people will be happy enough with the onboard sound. But…..get a compatible Samsung soundbar and experience Q-Symphony. At least buy one and test it, if you don’t like it, take it back. However, you won’t, I guarantee it.
Performance
On the performance front, the Samsung QN900F, as expected, performs like a beast. Here’s a quick spec view of some of the picture processing technologies.
- Picture Engine: NQ8 AI Gen2 Processor
- AI Upscale: 8K AI Upscaling
- Variable Refresh Rate (VRR): Yes
- Motion Technology: Motion Xcelerator
- Contrast Enhancer: Real Depth Enhancer Pro
- AI Motion Enhancing: AI Motion Enhancer
- Color Booster: Color Booster Pro
- EyeComfort Mode: Yes
- HDR (High Dynamic Range): Neo Quantum HDR 8K Pro
- HDR10+: Yes (Adaptive/Gaming)
- Auto HDR Remastering: Yes
- Adaptive Picture: AI Optimized/AI Customization
The Samsung QN900F is powered by Samsung’s latest AI processors for its TVs. The company has been refining these processors every year and they’ve been improving. In my testing of 4K video streaming, 4K gaming, and basic video streaming and TV watching. I found that the performance on the QN900F was fantastic.
The high refresh rate keeps things looking smooth and the AI upscaling does an outstanding job of upscaling lower resolution content, where it can. What I found the most pleasing is that the interface is much more responsive than last year. Not that it was horrible last year, but improvements have been made and navigation through the interface is lightning fast.
Gaming on the Samsung QN900F is a treat and if you get the 75″, you will never want to go back to anything smaller. The HDMI ports are all excellent, and having an eARC port is important for that Samsung soundbar you’ll be getting.
Overall, this level of Samsung TV has always performed well, ever since I started reviewing Samsung in 2018. It is no surprise just how amazing the Samsung QN900F performs, it does everything anyone needs to be done extremely well. Even gamers who need high refresh rates and fast processing will be elated by the performance here.
Price/Value
The Samsung QN900F isn’t the cheapest television the company sells, but, it does hold a ton of value. You could spend less than a grand on a simple lower-end model and probably replace it within a year or two if you’re lucky. The Samsung QN900F is built to last, and I’d say you should get 6+ years or more, easy, out of this TV and with 8K and all the software bits, you’re future proofed.
Wrap Up
Overall, the Samsung QN900F performs its AI wizardry with Samsung Vision AI to provide a hyperreal 8K picture with the tiniest details unlocked by Quantum Matrix Mini LEDs, immersive audio with top channel speakers, and a brand new Samsung User Interface. The nearly edgeless screen with glare free technology rounds out an immersive 8K experience. Samsung is still killing it in the 8K market, even when others are throwing in the towel.
