THE VERDICT
Samsung's QN75QN900F Neo QLED 8K TV impresses with bright HDR, new smart features, and AI game mode, offering stunning visuals from 4K and Full HD sources. Its faster speed and responsiveness make it a top choice for gaming, while the chamfered metal bezel provide an 8K solution for fans of Samsung’s picture-frame-like The Frame TVs.

Samsung’s 75-inch QN900D 8K Neo QLED TV was one of our favorite mini-LED TVs of last year and we are pleased to report its successor—the QN75QN900F 8K Neo QLED—is even better. In fact, we found it not only a better performing television, but a better deal than its predecessor, and overall better option that Samsung’s 2025 flagship 8K wireless 8K Neo QLED version in the QN75QN990F reviewed here a few weeks ago.

Disney's live-action adaptations of beloved animated movies have met with varying degrees of pushback over the years, but one welcome upside has been the habit of marking the occasion with the 4K release of the originals that spawned them. Such is the case with Lilo & Stitch, its initial popularity only seeming to grow over the past 23 years into a deeply devoted fanbase. (Any seasoned pin trader knows how fast anything with the little blue guy on it disappears from the boards.)

THE VERDICT
The home theater experience created by the HW-Q990F system is surprising—a true alternative to an AV receiver and individual speakers. The AI controls create a clear, immersive experience with excellent dialog for movies and clear vocals for music that automatically calibrates to your room. It's an excellent home theater sound choice.

The HW-Q990F is the next-generation Samsung flagship soundbar following the HW-Q990D. Like its predecessor, it comes with a front soundbar, two rear speakers, and a subwoofer. This year's model is smaller than the Q990D, yet it's designed to increase power and efficiency with dual opposing eight-inch woofers that use AI Dynamic Bass Control to optimize the lower frequencies.
