Great 8K TVs have remained stubbornly beyond the budgets of all but the wealthiest AV fans. Until now. Samsung’s Q800T doesn’t quite come as cheap as most similar-sized flagship 4K sets but after some price drops it has come down into more realistic territory, making it more tempting than ever.
With native 8K sources, you can appreciate the benefits of the Q800T’s native 8K pixel count, even from a regular viewing distance. On 65-inch screens, this will feel more about slightly better clarity, naturalism and depth of field than massively increased textures or details. If you want more you’ll need to step up to 75 inches or even bigger.
