Samsung's step-down QLED model is an emphatically good LCD TV, although the performance gap between it and the Q9FN is big enough to making upping your budget recommended...

Yes—especially if you want a premium bright-room experienceAt $2,000, the 55-inch Q8 is a bit expensive, but ultimately it's priced more fairly than not. The design, features, and picture quality are all top-notch, and only extremely picky viewers will ta...
It upscales HD TV shows and movies to 4K so it looks clear and sharp on the screen, Also available in 55in for £1599.99, There's voice control built into the smart remote so you can access settings and switch between inputs using your voice, You can custo
There's no support for Dolby Vision, It's not energy efficient to run
If you've got plenty of cash to splash, this TV offers a bright clear picture and plenty of bells and whistles. Simple to use, you do make a trade on energy efficiency, but we think it's worth it...
No Dolby Vision HDR support, No Freeview Play, Q9FN is brighter and better value,
The QLED 8D is an impressive 4K HDR screen. If you thought that OLED had the monopoly on subterranean black levels think again. Coupled with an excellent HDR performance and rich, engaging colours, the Q8D is more than a match for most HDR sources. The se...

Great for HDR content, Easy to use interface, Brighter than any OLED rival
Sound not up to scratch without soundbar
OLED is not the only game in town when it comes to premium televisions. Samsung's insistence on backlit LCD may seem more than a little dogmatic, but the results it delivers are hard to argue with. If you can live with the Q8's (relative) bulk and (unarg...
Excellent black performance for a non-OLED, Vibrant but natural colours, Superb detail and edge definition, Neat gaming features, So many apps,
Loses the great OneConnect box, Not as bright as the Q9FN, Easily bested for sound quality,
Think of the Q8DN as a Q9FN with the brightness dialled down, and you're pretty much there. This is the same sharp, detailed picture, with the same approach to colours (albeit with the loss of a little punch) and the same range of apps and picture process...

Direct backlight LEDs, Screen non-reflective at all angles, Bundled with tons of new features, Reasonably priced
More traditional design, Not enough local dimming zones, Same brightness as last year, Not available worldwide
With full-array local dimming, smart home support and HDR10+ functionality, the Samsung Q8FN QLED TV beats out the 2017 Samsung lineup for a fraction of the cost...
Exceptionally bright, colourful HDR pictures, Very watchable in ambient light, Pretty design
It's rather expensive, Backlight striping around stand-out bright HDR objects, Banding with some HDR colour blends
Exaggerated backlight striping issues may be a distraction for dedicated home cinema fans. But for more casual users the Samsung QE55Q8C is a beautifully designed and uniquely talented TV that's just about ‘out there' enough to justify its £3000 price tag...

Boasts a lovely cable free design, exceptionally bright and colour-rich HDR pictures that hold up unprecedentedly well to bright room conditions
Curved screen will be divisive, backlight flaws are apparent with HDR content, it's not cheap
There are times where the Samsung Q8C's pictures look genuinely spectacular, leaving you in no doubt as to QLED's potential as a TV technology. The way its pictures still standout in ambient light make this particular set uniquely well qualified for relat...
