|---|---|---|
| Overview | ||
| Released | May 2025 | March 2019 |
| Display | ||
| Panel | Mini-LED | LED LCD |
| Panel detail | Mini LED with Quantum Matrix Technology Plus | Quantum-dot LED-backlit LCD with Direct Full Array 16x local dimming. Samsung does not publish native panel Hz or a dimming-zone count in the UK size tables. The 82-inch UK model is known but its UK maker table is empty; only sizes with exact UK tables are listed here. |
| Resolution | 3840 × 2160 (4K) | 3840 × 2160 (4K) |
| Refresh rate | 165 Hz | – |
| HDR formats | HDR10, HDR10+, HLG | HDR10, HDR10+, HLG |
| HDR extras | Neo Quantum HDR+; HDR10+ Adaptive and HDR10+ Gaming | Samsung's Quantum HDR 2000 is a product label, not a measured 2000-nit result. HDR10, HDR10+ and HLG are confirmed by the UK tables and What Hi-Fi?; Dolby Vision is unsupported. |
| Screen finish | Glare Free | Moth Eye anti-reflection treatment in each UK size table. |
| Colour range | – | Samsung's UK tables say 100% colour volume by Quantum Dot and a billion colours; these are maker claims rather than measured coverage for every size. |
| Picture processing | 4K AI Upscaling Pro, AI Motion Enhancer Pro, Real Depth Enhancer Pro, Auto HDR Remastering Pro, Color Booster Pro, HDR Brightness Optimizer; Ultimate UHD Dimming | Quantum Processor 4K, Ultimate UHD Dimming, Intelligent Mode, HDR tone mapping and 4000 Picture Quality Index in the UK maker tables. PQI is a processing score, not the native panel refresh rate. |
| Picture modes | Filmmaker Mode, EyeComfort Mode; Smart Calibration (Basic/Professional) | Film Mode, Natural Mode and Contrast Enhancer appear in the maker tables. What Hi-Fi? favours Standard mode over Movie mode on its 65-inch test unit. |
| Motion handling | Motion Xcelerator 165Hz | AVForums finds good motion on its 65-inch test; What Hi-Fi? says processing can introduce artefacts. Samsung's UK maker tables do not publish native Hz, though its separate UK support page confirms 4K 120 Hz Game Mode through HDMI 4 for the three listed models. |
| Viewing angle | Wide Viewing Angle | Ultra Viewing Angle appears in the maker tables. Both independent 65-inch reviews find a much wider usable angle than the 2018 Q9FN, though their comparisons do not establish equivalence with every OLED. |
