The 85-inch QN900F 8K TV will cost $5,499.

Samsung

For 2025, Samsung has dropped five new ranges of TVs, including two featuring 8K resolutions, with sizes up to 115 inches and promising enhanced picture quality.

The company's new ranges consist of the flagship QN990F 8K, the more "affordable" QN900F 8K plus the QN90F, QN80F and QN70F 4K ranges. These TVs will encompass the company's new Vision AI features, which promise enhanced processing, real-time translations, click to search and motion control with a Galaxy Watch. The three QN9xx ranges will also include the company's glare-free tech, as seen on TVs like the S95 OLED

Starting at the top, the company's new 98-inch QN990F 8K TV will cost an eye-watering $40,000. By comparison, this 115-inch TCL is "only" $20,000, though it features a lower, 4K resolution. This Samsung TV, and the remaining QN990F models, will feature 8K upscaling, Motion Xcelerator 240Hz processing, a Wireless One Connect Box and dedicated top speakers for Dolby Atmos.

Meanwhile the "step down" Q900F 8K will feature a metal frame design, Motion Xcelerator 165Hz and object tracking sound for tracking on screen content.

In 2025, Samsung is the only company so far to announce new 8K TVs, while a general lack of 8K adoption has been attributable to both a lack of content and much higher prices than a 4K model.

For 2025, Samsung is introducing three new ranges of 4K QLEDs, which use "Quantum Matrix Mini LEDs" for enhanced brightness and color. The flagship QN90F series will use the NQ4 AI Gen3 processor plus the Motion Xcelerator 165Hz.

Meanwhile, the QN80F and QN70F ranges will feature the NQ4 AI Gen2 processor, and the promise of tear-free gaming with the Motion Xcelerator 144Hz feature.

All the big TVs coming later

It was only two years ago that Samsung had the largest TVs in the market at 98 inches, but these have been eclipsed by Chinese rivals Hisense and TCL. Samsung is now playing catch-up with the 100-inch QN80F and the 115-inch QN90F coming later this year -- both at 4K resolution and with pricing to be announced. Notably, the company has not announced an 8K TV in these sizes.

 All of the TVs are available now, bar the QN70F, which comes later. Sizes and pricing are as follows:

QN990F 8K TV

  • 98-inch QN990F: $40,000
  • 85-inch QN990F: $8,500
  • 75-inch QN990F: $6,500
  • 65-inch QN990F: $5,500
