That’s not insignificant though by releasing a smaller, more affordable version of the Q900R, Samsung has found a way to make 8K televisions more accessible. There’s not a huge difference between the new 55-inch model and the flagship 85Q900R model – it’s just smaller. The 55-inch Q900 QLED 8K will cost you $2,499 / £2,999 (around AU$3,700) judging from Samsung’s own website – although that’s apparently a saving of $1000 off the $3,499 retail price. Well, now Samsung could have the answer, with the launch of a 55-inch variant of its impressive Q900R TV.
When Samsung debuted its first 8K QLED TV it was mightily impressive and mightily inaccessible – and while Samsung says QLED TV sales have increased by “200% year-on-year”, owning an 8K TV is a pipe-dream for many.Ĭoming in 65, 75, 82, and 98-inch variants (and costing upwards of $5,000), these audiovisual behemoths are hardly suitable for the average home, and with precious little native 8K content available out there, why would you spend so much money on those extra pixels?
