Like most of the other best Samsung TVs, the new 98-inch QN900C has Samsung’s Gaming Hub and Motion Xcelerator Pro. That delivers 4K at up to 120Hz, rising to 144Hz with compatible PCs. There’s also support for AMD FreeSync Premium Pro as well as NVIDIA G-Sync like most of the best gaming TVs have.
I was saying to myself, “I wonder what kind of home equity loan or mortgage I’d need to be able to afford that!” Then I actually read the article and it’s only $6,999.00. Hold on while a shit a check for that amount. 😆
I mean that’s a crazy amount to pay for a TV imo, but I was 100% expecting it to be a lot crazier.
That’s the price of their previous model, and the article suggests that this one will be quite a bit more expensive. Definitely not a “projector beater” if you don’t have around ten grand burning a hole in your pocket.
I bought an Acer projector and a ceiling mounted pull down screen fifteen years ago for ~700€ and that gear is still going strong.
Why in the world would I want to spend ten times that?
I remember a magazine ad from when modern flat screen LCD/plasma TVs came out and they were like $15,999 for a 55," something you could get at Costco now for $200. This probably will never see price reductions like that but still.
I guarantee it’s loaded with ads and bloatware too. Samsung is the worst for that
Their product quality has been decimated from where it was 10 years ago. I actively avoid them when shopping for TVs (and especially appliances) now.
I’m less excited about resolution now than I am about something like microLED that would greatly improve response times and color reproduction. There’s isn’t much in the way of 8k content anyway and good luck playing games at that resolution with a decent framerate. It’s my understanding that the larger size would be better for microLED too, since the components wouldn’t be packed in too tight a space.
