Samsung has started showing off its premium 4K and 8KQLED TVs for 2021, and weve got the lowdown on whats new this time around.Every year, a new generation of new Samsung TVs is unveiled, bringing with it a host of picture advancements, design overhauls, and new iterations of existing television models. This year is now different, in that a huge amount is, in fact, different and weve got the lowdown on the flagship QLED sets announced by Samsung so far.CES 2021 is upon us, and while the massive annual tech expo has been forced to go online this time around (for obvious reasons), were still seeing plenty of big announcements, especially around televisions.Samsung has only shown off a handful of high-end models so far, with a mix of 4K TVs and 8K TVs, as well as a refresh to Samsung The Frame that drastically slims the television down. Its also unveiled a new version of its MicroLED display, The Wall, that creeps into some more reasonable sizing options and can even split its picture into multiple screens. Whatever excites you the most out of those, we can be sure that therell be more of its ilk within the coming months as the rest of the new Samsung TV range comes to light.New Samsung TVs for 2021Samsung Neo QLED 8K TVs(Image credit: Samsung)Samsung QN900 Neo 8K QLED TV (screen sizes TBD): The Samsung QN900 is the top-of-the-line Samsung 8K display in 2021. It features the Infinity Display that offers an edge-to-edge image with no bezel and a metal chassis. It uses Samsungs OTS Pro sound for built-in 6.2.2-channel surround sound, and of course the 8K Quantum Processor. Expect it to cost serious money when it arrives later this year.Read our hands on Samsung QN900 8K QLED TV reviewSamsung QN800 Neo 8K QLED TV (screen sizes TBD): The QN800 has incredibly thin bezels, though Samsung's matrixing technology that reduces the gap between where the pixels end and bezel begins is exclusive to the company's top-of-the-line Samsung Neo QN900 TV QLED 8K TV. Still, the QN800 does have ultra-wide viewing angle support that you dont get on the QN700, and thats relatively crucial if youre thinking about going any larger than 65-inches.Read our hands on Samsung QN800 8K QLED TV reviewSamsung QN700 Neo 8K QLED TV (screen sizes TBD): The Samsung Q700 Series will return in 2021 with a new version of the Q700 that made its debut last year. Its still the entry-level 8K model this year, but it will see the benefit of the MiniLED backlights and the 8K Quantum Processor. Youll still get the ultra-widescreen game mode, and VRR support, but it is missing a few step-up features that youll find in the QN800.Samsung Neo QLED 4K TVsSamsung QN90A Neo QLED TV (screen sizes TBD): Turning to 4K TVs, the head honcho is the new Samsung QN90A Neo QLED. The variation of MiniLED technology that it uses means that this years model will suffer from even less blooming than in prior years, and it should reach a slightly higher peak brightness level thanks to the greater density of LEDs. On top of that, the new Quantum Processor redirects power to where its needed on the screen for brighter HDR highlights and better local dimming, plus Samsung says that theres also black level data boost to bring out more details in dark areas. An ultra-bright QLED that handles black levels like an OLED? We cant wait to see it in person.Samsung QN80A Neo QLED TV (screen sizes TBD): If the QN90A is a bit too far out of reach, Samsung will be making a successor to the moderately affordable Samsung Q80T that we saw in 2020 with the Samsung QN80A. The QN80A will also use Neo QLED technology to get those brighter HDR highlights and better local dimming. There will also be a QN85A that uses the OneConnect Box, but you should be able to save some money if you dont mind plugging in your cables directly to the back of the TV.Crystal UHD TV modelsSamsung AU9000 (screen sizes TBD): Samsungs Crystal UHD TV lineup will return in 2021 with two new models, the AU9000 and AU8000. Both models will feature a slimmer chassis than last years models from around 59mm to 25mm in depth, and a dynamic refresh technology to make a native 60Hz refresh rate seem like a 120Hz panel thanks to Motion XCelerator Turbo. Youll also get AMD FreeSync on 60Hz TVs. Samsung AU8000 (screen sizes TBD): The Samsung AU8000 Series is the cheapest Samsung TV we know about in 2021. Its definitely going to be a native 60Hz TV with 4K support and it will probably use a basic quad-core processor. That said, if youre after the cheapest new Samsung TV, the AU8000 will be the one to keep an eye out for.Lifestyle TVs: The Wall, The Frame(Image credit: Samsung)Samsung The Wall 2021 (88-inch, 99-inch, 110-inch): Samsung says that this is the year its MicroLED TV tech “comes home”. Weve seen various iterations of The Wall over the years, all of them carrying huge price tags and at sizes almost no-one can fit in their home but that looks set to change this year. The cost is unconfirmed, but at a smallest 88-inch size, its certainly more realistic a proposition than ever before. The set will even be able to split its picture into four distinct screens for multi-channel viewing, and were excited to see exactly what this feature can do.(Image credit: Samsung)Samsung The Frame 2021 (screen sizes TBD): Theres a new iteration of Samsungs fashion-forward Frame TV, which apes the style of a picture frame and offers up to 14,000 artworks in a dedicated Art Store (for paid subscribers) to make sure your TVs looking good even when youre not watching Netflix. This years model is a lot slimmer, at just 24.9mm thick, and we expect sizing options to match last years (32-, 43-, 50-, 55-, 65-, and 75-inch). The 43-inch model is said to work in a portrait orientation too, but were not expecting the mechanical rotations of the Samsung Sero here.New Samsung TV techWhat's new in Samsung TVs this year?While most years offer a boost in contrast here and a new upscaling algorithm there, Samsungs 2021 Neo QLED lineup is actually the biggest step forward for the South Korean electronics maker in the last five years. What Neo QLED promises is smaller LED backlights similar but not quite identical to the MiniLED technology Samsung uses in The Wall. Because the LEDs are clustered closer together, Neo QLED TVs promise radically increased brightness, reduced blooming and wider viewing angles. In tandem with a built-in light sensor and upgraded Quantum Processor, a Neo QLED TV can redirect power at the drop of a hat, boosting bright HDR highlights in one part of the screen, while dropping other parts to near-black. Although the resulting image will never quite have the same contrast OLED TVs have (with their self-emissive pixels), Neo QLED TVs will hit 100% color volume for DCI-P3, and have a higher peak brightness overall so expect them to be super bright and colorful. On the software side of things, Samsung is upgrading Tizen to better meld with our new work-from-home lifestyles. For starters, its adding remote access will allow you to browse your office PC from your home Samsung TV, and when its time to relax with family and friends, youll be able to do Google Duo calling straight on your smart TV by attaching an HD webcam. (Image credit: Samsung)What gamers will appreciate is that all the new Neo QLED TVs shown so far support 4K/120 gameplay with VRR (AMD FreeSync Premium Pro and Nvidia G-Sync) as well as ALLM. Samsung says the TVs average 9.8ms input lag and HGiG if you connect your PC. Two final neat features for gamers are the 32:9 aspect ratio mode which, on a 65-inch TV, is about 59-inches across and wider than the largest ultra widescreen gaming monitor, plus a new Game Bar that displays real-time FPS and input lag.We have yet to hear much in the way of new chassis design, but Samsung is touting a few of the improvements its made to Object-Tracking Sound technology that adds two additional tweeters for enhanced dialogue and an active voice amplifier that measures ambient noise in the environment and raises the mids to audible levels. These are small features and will only be available in the highest-end models, but theyre worth noting all the same.Lastly, in terms of aesthetics, expect to see a return of the OneConnect box, which outsources all of your HDMI, power inputs and the like into a piece of hardware separate from the TV, preventing a mess of cables hanging down from your new display and Ambient Mode for its high-end sets, too, which helps the television to blend in with your decor by mimicking the color and pattern of the wall behind it, stylishly displaying the news, weather, and more.New Samsung TVs for 2020New Samsung TVs for 2020(Image credit: Samsung)Samsung Q950TS 8K AI QLED (available in 65, 75, 85 inches)US model numbers: QN85Q950TSFXZAUK model numbers: QE65Q950TSTXXU, QE75Q950TSTXXU, QE85Q950TSTXXUThe flagship 8K QLED for 2020 is a real beauty.
