Review: Samsung Neo QLED 8K TV and Q990C Soundbar

Future of Entertainment

If you’re seeking a journey into the future of entertainment, look no further

I had the incredible opportunity to dive into Samsung’s latest lineup of home entertainment marvels. The stage was set at the Unbox & Discover 2023 event in Singapore, where the spotlight shone brightly on the Neo QLED 8K TV and the Q990C Soundbar.

The moment I laid eyes on the Neo QLED 8K TV, I was captivated by its sheer elegance. The Infinity design creates a borderless canvas, seamlessly blending the screen into my living space. It’s as if the TV itself was a work of art in the house. The slim profile and minimalist bezels make it a true centrepiece that complements any room, whether modern or traditional.

The Q990C Soundbar, designed to complement the Neo QLED TV, echoes the same design philosophy. Its sleek, understated form seamlessly integrates into my entertainment setup, enhancing the overall visual appeal. The attention to detail is evident, and I couldn’t help but be impressed by how well these devices enhance my living space.

The Neo QLED 8K TV’s visual prowess left me awestruck. As I immersed myself in the Guardians of the Galaxy movie on Disney+, I was transported into a realm where every detail popped to life. The 8K resolution and Auto HDR Remastering technology ensured that every scene was a masterpiece of vivid colours and sharp clarity. The hues of the alien landscapes and the Guardians’ vibrant costumes felt so real that I could almost touch them. The picture quality was so immersive that I felt like a part of the action, with details standing out even in the darkest of scenes.

After being enthralled by the visual feast, it was time to elevate my auditory senses with the Q990C Soundbar. I queued up my favourite tracks on Spotify, and the moment the music flowed from the soundbar’s speakers, I was taken aback. The soundstage was expansive, enveloping me in a cocoon of rich, immersive audio.

The Dolby Atmos support added a new dimension to my music, making it feel like I was in a concert hall. The Wireless Dolby Atmos Connectivity eliminated clutter, allowing me to focus solely on the captivating sound.

Rating: 4.5/5
We say: The Neo QLED TV’s awe-inspiring visual quality and sleek design redefine how we perceive content, while the Q990C Soundbar’s impeccable audio performance elevates every moment. These devices aren’t just products; they are companions that transform your living room into a realm of pure sensory delight.
