00:00:00.180 --> 00:00:01.440
- We special a few at gizmoto.

2
00:00:01.440 --> 00:00:03.035
Took a Johnsons of the bowels

3
00:00:03.035 --> 00:00:06.930
of Samsung's secret layer this
past month to check out a few

4
00:00:06.930 --> 00:00:08.940
of the company's upcoming TVs.

5
00:00:08.940 --> 00:00:11.790
There's a 4K and even
eight K displays galore,

6
00:00:11.790 --> 00:00:15.270
and of course, a selection
of beautiful OLEDs in store.

7
00:00:15.270 --> 00:00:17.760
And despite all the talk of AI upscaling,

8
00:00:17.760 --> 00:00:19.440
we came away mostly impressed

9
00:00:19.440 --> 00:00:21.780
with the new TVs gaming features.

10
00:00:22.650 --> 00:00:26.520
First off, you have the Q LEDs,
Samsung's High-end LCD TVs

11
00:00:26.520 --> 00:00:28.895
that boas strong picture
quality without paying

12
00:00:28.895 --> 00:00:30.480
the high price for ole.

13
00:00:30.480 --> 00:00:33.720
The Q1 90 D is Samsung's
latest take on the formula.

14
00:00:33.720 --> 00:00:37.415
And you know what? They
have it down pat at 4K.

15
00:00:37.415 --> 00:00:39.420
Resolution to details on screen are sharp

16
00:00:39.420 --> 00:00:41.910
and there's good contrast
with fair brightness.

17
00:00:42.990 --> 00:00:46.020
Then there's the S 95
D ole. And guess what?

18
00:00:46.020 --> 00:00:47.430
It's even better.

19
00:00:47.430 --> 00:00:50.190
It has the deep, deep
black, so typical of ole

20
00:00:50.190 --> 00:00:51.665
and with its anti glare screen,

21
00:00:51.665 --> 00:00:53.940
we didn't see any lights
make an impact on the

22
00:00:53.940 --> 00:00:55.170
viewing experience.

23
00:00:56.250 --> 00:01:00.870
Which brings us to the
eight KQ lead, the QN 900 D.

24
00:01:00.870 --> 00:01:03.270
You know what? It's fine. tv.

25
00:01:03.270 --> 00:01:06.330
Everything we said about the
4K version remains true here.

26
00:01:06.330 --> 00:01:09.185
But what doesn't work out is
how there's just not a lot

27
00:01:09.185 --> 00:01:12.455
of eight K content that's worth
shelling out close to $5,000

28
00:01:12.455 --> 00:01:14.520
for both the 4K and eight K.

29
00:01:14.520 --> 00:01:17.070
Neo Q LEDs boast AI upscaling tech,

30
00:01:17.070 --> 00:01:19.620
and while the picture does
look moderately better when

31
00:01:19.620 --> 00:01:22.770
brought up to 4K, there's
really nothing you could tell

32
00:01:22.770 --> 00:01:25.650
that's different when you
bring it up to eight K.

33
00:01:25.650 --> 00:01:28.530
Hell, you could tell me
it's 5K. I'd believe you.

34
00:01:29.760 --> 00:01:30.900
So, fair enough.

35
00:01:30.900 --> 00:01:32.490
There's not a lot of reason to go out

36
00:01:32.490 --> 00:01:34.710
for such extreme resolutions though.

37
00:01:34.710 --> 00:01:37.440
What's far more interesting is
the gaming software packed in

38
00:01:37.440 --> 00:01:39.300
the Samsung's latest systems.

39
00:01:39.300 --> 00:01:42.060
First, the Gaming Hub
acts as a one stop shop

40
00:01:42.060 --> 00:01:43.110
for an impressive amount

41
00:01:43.110 --> 00:01:46.170
of game services from
Xbox Game Pass to GForce.

42
00:01:46.170 --> 00:01:49.650
Now, next does the game bar
whose latest upgrades make

43
00:01:49.650 --> 00:01:53.310
optimizing your TV for
consoles effectively seamless.

44
00:01:53.310 --> 00:01:56.040
The TVs automatically detected our PS five

45
00:01:56.040 --> 00:01:59.280
and gave us details on the
refresh rates and frame rates.

46
00:01:59.280 --> 00:02:03.030
These displays do support at
least 120 hertz refresh rates,

47
00:02:03.030 --> 00:02:05.910
which is fair when both
modern consoles can only go up

48
00:02:05.910 --> 00:02:08.430
to 4K at 120 hertz max.

49
00:02:09.480 --> 00:02:12.060
So AI isn't going to
be the end all be all.

50
00:02:12.060 --> 00:02:14.130
If any of Samsung's upscaling

51
00:02:14.130 --> 00:02:17.100
or depth enhancing would
be far more in front,

52
00:02:17.100 --> 00:02:18.930
it would just end up being distracting.

53
00:02:18.930 --> 00:02:20.970
As with any yearly TV refresh,

54
00:02:20.970 --> 00:02:22.625
your main objective should be looking

55
00:02:22.625 --> 00:02:24.930
for the best picture
quality for your buck.

56
00:02:24.930 --> 00:02:28.020
If you want to go with Samsung,
look for the Q lids first.

57
00:02:29.490 --> 00:02:31.925
Guys, it's TV release season, so look out

58
00:02:31.925 --> 00:02:34.200
for more TVs from other
companies like Sony

59
00:02:34.200 --> 00:02:36.030
and LG coming down the pike.

60
00:02:36.030 --> 00:02:38.400
All of them are going to be
talking up AI to some degree,

61
00:02:38.400 --> 00:02:41.340
but as of now, it's the
best to ignore the noise

62
00:02:41.340 --> 00:02:42.660
and focus on the picture.

63
00:02:42.660 --> 00:02:45.510
That beautiful, beautiful picture.
