The rest of the connections amount to digital optical out, CI+ 1.4, two satellite tuners, an aerial antenna, two USB ports and an ethernet, as well as Wi-Fi and Bluetooth 5.2.

What’s more, the Infinity One design means every inch of your Samsung Neo QLED TV has been designed to minimise distractions, so you can focus on what you’re watching. And, to keep things mess-free, the Slim One Connect box hides your cables so you can enjoy pure cinematic viewing at its best. Smart Features Featuring Quantum Matrix technology, you’ll get super-focused lights, epic contrast, and a brilliantly intense picture. All this is powered by the Neutral Quantum Processor 4K, upscaling content and producing next-level sound – completely transforming all your entertainment. So yes, as must surely be obvious by now, this is a Mini LED TV (or ‘Neo QLED’, as Samsung rather dogmatically prefers). You can get our chapter-and-verse on this remarkable technology here.Bixby, Alexa and Google Assistant are all built into your Samsung Smart TV. Discover an optimal entertainment experience and advanced voice control in your connected smart home. Changing the volume, source, channel and more is as easy as asking. This TV also works with Smart Things devices (compatible phone and app required. Exact functionality may change at any time and be withdrawn from the product without notice). This dimming zone discussion also brings us to what we’d say is the QN95B’s main new picture feature: the Shape Adaptive Light Control system. This enables the local dimming to narrow or widen the intensity of the light fed into a picture by each dimming zone, making it possible to deliver much more nuance in the way light plays between each zone. So, for instance, if one zone of a picture has a bright center and dark edges, the new lighting system should be able to maintain high brightness in its center while fading the light away at those darker edges. It’s not all perfect, mind you. Left on its default settings, the Q95T’s HDR picture is overbright compared with our reference standard. This can be dialled down by lowering the TV’s contrast value to around 40, after which the panel retains all specular highlight detail, even on HDR content mastered to 4,000cd/m2. And if you switch local dimming settings to ‘high’ (a new feature for 2020 QLEDs) the overbright effects of the Q95T’s dynamic tone mapping can be minimised. Some features of Ambient Mode require Internet connection, a compatible smartphone, and SmartThings app. Of the four HDMI ports, three are HDMI 2.0 and one (HDMI 4) is HDMI 2.1 compliant, with a bandwidth of 40Gbps. That’s the one you’ll be wanting to plug your gaming console into for the latest HDMI 2.1 features such as Variable Refresh Rate (VRR) and 4K at 120Hz. HDMI 3 does support eARC for lossless audio passthrough.

You work at BID, what a legend.

Samsung has completely revamped its smart interface and system for its 2022 TVs... but we wish it hadn’t. We won’t cover everything that troubled us about the new Tizen TV interface here for fear of you losing interest before you get to the all-important picture and sound stuff. We measured a huge 2882 nits of peak brightness on a white HDR window covering 10% of the screen area in the Dynamic mode. This drops to 2200 nits with the much more watchable and engaging Standard mode, and 2015 nits in Filmmaker mode. But these are still astronomical figures by today’s TV standards. The very brightest OLED TVs, for instance, top out at 1000 nits. Never miss another moment. With Multi View, you can play your mobile content alongside the TV program, all at once, on the same screen. Simply cast your phone to your TV with screen mirroring to split the big TV screen. Handy if you want to keep an eye on the football score whilst watching a movie.

If you want to connect your TV to a blu-ray player, games console, soundbar or soundbase then you'll need a HDMI cable.

Having witnessed the HDR prowess of the Q90R, we had high hopes for the Q95T. And our testing left us suitably impressed. The Q95T’s panel hit a peak brightness of 1,700cd/m2 on a 10% window after calibration and 750cd/m2 across the full screen. These kinds of brightness levels are far out of reach for the Q95T’s OLED rivals, and allow it to give tremendous impact to bright HDR scenes. It’s also notably brighter than last year’s Q90R, which had a peak full-field luminance of 550cd/m2. The Q95T’s colour palette is about on par with the Q90R’s, covering 93% of the DCI-P3 gamut and 73% of Rec.2020. The QN95B’s minimalist approach is exacerbated by the absence on its main bodywork of any connections bar a single port for connecting an external One Connect box. Being able to pass power as well as picture and sound to the TV by a single silvery cable obviously works a treat when it comes to keeping cable spaghetti away from such a self-consciously minimalist screen. We watch multiple scenes at every resolution. But in the interest of not having this be the longest news story ever written, we've summarised. The Standard preset can cause minor sparklies in some very small details, such as Dune’s swirling sands, and occasionally a dark scene can look a little brighter than it should, exposing noise in the mastering that should have remained hidden.

Brightness’ is (among other things) what Min LED promises, and there’s no two ways about it: the QN85B is noticeably brighter than even the brightest OLED or QD-OLED alternatives.One Billion Color, Quantum HDR 2000, AI Upscaling, Quantum Matrix Technology, HDR HLG, Motion Xcelerator Turbo+, Noise Reduction, LED Clear Motion, Smart Calibration, Expert Calibration, Filmmaker Mode When we assess a TV, we play a range of content designed to highlight specific aspects of the picture - from detail to motion control and, of course, contrast. A few years ago Samsung debuted The Wall. This is an enormous 219-inch TV made up of several modular displays that can be arranged in different configurations. The Game Bar 2.0 creates a hub that brings together all the game-related information and features in one convenient location. It will pop up automatically when a game console is detected, but can also be selected by simply holding down the play/pause button on your remote. The Game Bar includes the HDR, frame rate and VRR status, as well as key gaming picture adjustments.
