The TV cycle is seasonal. The brand new TVs introduced at CES begin hitting retailer cabinets in late winter and spring, and costs for these fashions are at their highest. As ordinary, Samsung has opened the 2023 bidding by setting the preliminary costs for its high-end Neo QLED TVs. As you would possibly anticipate, they’re fairly costly.

Samsung introduced Tuesday’s costs vary from the 43-inch QN90C at $1,200 to the 85-inch 8K QN800C for a cool $6,000. Neo QLED is the identify Samsung makes use of to indicate TVs with mini-LED backlights, which ship improved image high quality in CNET’s assessments — though inferior to OLED, a expertise Samsung additionally sells. The 2023 New QLED lineup contains two collection with 8K decision and three with 4K. 

The corporate says the brand new fashions ship brighter highlights, a vital side of picture high quality. Excessive-end Samsung QLED TVs are usually very shiny, however the top-of-the-line 8K QN900C takes it to a brand new stage. Samsung boasts as much as 4,000 nits of peak brightness, which, if true, would make it the brightest TV I’ve ever measured. In response to my assessments, Samsung’s peak brightness claims include a giant catch: They dim after a number of seconds. Even so, I anticipate that TV to be exceedingly shiny. 

Samsung at present sells 98-inch TVs in 4K decision, however the 98-inch QN900C could be its first in 8K. Samsung hasn’t introduced pricing on any of those fashions but however for reference, the present 4K 98-incher prices a cool $15,000, so the 8K model will possible be considerably extra. And I nonetheless do not assume 8K decision is worth it in any dimension.

Extra intriguing to me is the 4K QN90C, the successor to the wonderful QN90B I reviewed final 12 months. Samsung says it has improved dimming, 14-bit processing and AI upscaling in addition to new Auto HDR remastering. Whereas I do not anticipate any of that enhancement to permit this QLED TV to beat OLED fashions, the QN90B was my favourite non-OLED TV of 2022. 

Past enhancing picture high quality, Samsung touted some new options associated to its non-compulsory digital camera. Samsung sells its personal “simply removable, privacy-focused videoconferencing and workout-assisting digital camera” for $100, or you possibly can connect a third-party digital camera. Both manner, the digital camera can monitor your well being — together with coronary heart fee, oxygen saturation and stress — by detecting adjustments in facial pores and skin colour. You need to use it to hook up with and talk along with your physician. The digital camera will also be used for video calls with a brand new app, to test in on pets or others in the lounge or to help in exercises.

Samsung’s QLED TVs just like the QN90B have nice design and options, together with built-in cloud gaming, which I like however hardly think about a must have. However, they often price greater than different units with related picture high quality, so I do not think about them pretty much as good a price as fashions just like the TCL 6-Collection or Hisense U8H. I obtained the possibility to take a look at a number of the new QLED TVs in particular person at CES and whereas they appear nice, the true query will probably be how they examine to different 2023 TVs for the cash. I will not know that till I can assessment them for actual, which I anticipate to occur this spring. 

Within the meantime here is the pricing and availability info Samsung introduced (word that “TBD” means Samsung hasn’t set a worth but). The corporate says all the collection under, besides the QN95C, “will probably be a part of the phased rollout at approved retailers nationwide this week, with extra sizes and contours to be introduced at a later date.”

I requested for extra particulars on how the TVs differ, however the firm has but to reply. Samsung’s web site appears to point the 900C has a slimmer bezel than the 800C, and the possible 800C is not as shiny, however in any other case, the 2 appear related. The one 2023 4K mannequin at present listed on the location is the Q90C, so the variations between it and the opposite two 4K collection are additionally unclear.
