Samsung’s 2024 Neo QLED 8K is the full package, including improved 8K upscaling powered by AI for lifelike picture quality. This year, Samsung introduced its latest and most innovative processor yet, the NQ8 AI Gen3 Processor. Housed within the 2024 Neo QLED 8K QN900D, it optimizes both picture and sound to deliver the ultimate 8K experience with a neural processing unit twice as fast as that of its predecessor. The number of neural networks has also increased eightfold, so that no matter what consumers watch they can experience levels of detail and clarity near native 8K content.

Trusted Reviews also commended the upscaling capabilities of the Neo QLED 8K QN900D, saying, “The amount of detail the upscaler is able to add to already detailed parts of 4K pictures is astonishing; 4K really becomes 8K before your very eyes.” The review also stated, “Its dazzling brightness, remarkable LCD contrast, voluminous color and ground-breaking upscaling processing prove that you don’t need 8K content to benefit from an 8K TV.”
Newsweek marked Neo QLED 8K QN800D an “Editor’s Choice” for the outlet, highlighting the benefits this processor lends to gamers and stating, “The gaming performance is great with the benefit of upscaling, high refresh rates and an AI-powered game mode.”
What Hi-Fi? also chimed in on the quality of Neo QLED 8K QN900D, saying, “Its picture quality improves considerably in just about every way on its predecessor, crucially leaving clear blue brightness water between it and 2024’s top OLED TVs and rewriting the upscaling rule book to remind us in no uncertain terms that 8K TVs don’t have to be fed 8K content to make a difference.” (75-inch QN900D, What Hi-Fi?, 03/2024)
Neo QLED 4K With Vivid Realism and Dynamic Contrast
Joining the 2024 Neo QLED 8K is a refreshed lineup of Neo QLED 4K TVs that is catching reviewers’ attention for its elevated features and viewing experience, powered by the NQ4 AI Gen2 Processor.
Expert Reviews commended the AI-powered TV Neo QLED 4K QN95D, saying, “The new processor helps deliver exceptional AI picture, sound and optimization features, the upscaling and image processing are excellent and add value, as does the equally impressive AI-enhanced motion handling.”
This year’s Neo QLED 4K continues to deliver the ultimate 4K experience, enhanced by features such as Real Depth Enhancer Pro as well as Quantum Matrix Technology, with Expert Reviews noting, “The Samsung QN95D is a fantastic 4K TV that retains the Mini LED backlighting and class-leading local dimming of last year but adds cutting-edge image processing to produce some of the best SDR and HDR pictures you’ll see on a high-end television.”
Stunning Brightness on AI-Powered OLED
Samsung’s 2024 OLED TV portfolio, such as the S95D, offers high levels of detail, high-frame rates and intensely vibrant video display in sizes up to an ultra-large 77-inches, building on the legacy of its predecessor.
This year’s OLED received recognition from several reviewers including Newsweek, which awarded Samsung OLED S95D an “Editor’s Choice” distinction. Techaeris also praised the S95D, noting, “Overall, the Samsung S95D is the best performing OLED TV that I’ve used this year,” while Trusted Reviews commented that “The QE65S95D is for me Samsung’s best looking OLED TV yet, building a gorgeously futuristic feel around its remarkable slimness.”

Samsung OLED leverages the NQ4 AI Gen2 Processor, the same formidable powerhouse behind the Neo QLED 4K lineup. Samsung’s OLED TVs boast features like the Real Depth Enhancer and OLED HDR Pro, bringing picture quality to new heights. Techaeris rated the S95D with an “Editor’s Choice” distinction and commended Samsung’s upscaling technology by saying, “Powered by Samsung’s NQ4 AI Gen2 processor, Samsung’s AI upscaling has always been one of the best.”
Samsung OLED S95D is 20% brighter than previous models, with deep and rich blacks and AI-enhanced color accuracy applauded by outlets such as Trusted Reviews which said, “Where the 65S95D’s extra brightness really counts is with its contrast performance, as bright highlights of both dark and light images radiate with an intensity I’ve never seen before.” Sound & Vision additionally noted, “This year, Samsung has improved color mapping. It uses AI technology to analyze and present more natural-appearing colors, particularly in skin tone subtleties.”

Samsung Electronics today announced new Odyssey OLED gaming monitors debuting at CES® 2024, the world’s biggest tech event owned and produced by the Consumer Technology Association® (CTA), in Las Vegas next week.
The new OLED models deliver on the performance and visual clarity gamers look for in their monitors and include the Odyssey OLED G9 (G95SD model), Odyssey OLED G8 (G80SD model) and the Odyssey OLED G6 (G60SD model).
The Odyssey OLED G9 is a 49” curved ultra-wide gaming monitor with DQHD (5,120 x 1,440) resolution, a 32:9 aspect ratio and other upgraded features. The Odyssey OLED G8 is the first flat 32” Samsung OLED gaming monitor with 4K UHD (3,840 x 2,160) resolution and a 16:9 aspect ratio. Both monitors have a 240Hz refresh rate and 0.03ms GTG response time.1 The Odyssey OLED G6 is a 27” QHD (2,560 x 1,440) monitor which supports a 16:9 aspect ratio, 360Hz refresh rate and 0.03ms GTG response time.
“Along with game genres, gaming platforms are getting more diverse,” said Hoon Chung, Executive Vice President of the Visual Display Business at Samsung Electronics. “Samsung’s new OLED Odyssey gaming monitors will empower gamers with more immersive game environments and innovative technology that personalize their gaming experiences — meeting and exceeding their evolving needs.”
Technologies Enabling Delicate Nuance
All three new models feature OLED Glare-Free technology that minimizes light reflections, enabling an enhanced viewing experience without extra equipment, so users can play games with consistent brightness and color in nearly any lighting environment.
With VESA DisplayHDR True Black 400, the monitors deliver incredible details and vivid colors independent of the game or content being displayed. What’s more, they support AMD FreeSync Premium Pro for ultra-smooth, low-latency HDR gaming.
The three new monitors bring comprehensive physical connectivity, with two HDMI 2.1 ports, a USB hub and a DisplayPort 1.4 input. Users will also enjoy better comfort and convenience with VESA mount2 compatibility and a height adjustable stand (HAS) that features tilt, swivel and pivot3 control points.
Connected Experiences in a Complete Ecosystem
The Odyssey OLED G9 and Odyssey OLED G8 now offer Multi Control, a new feature that provides seamless device connectivity for an easier, improved multi-device experience. Multi Control allows users to seamlessly transfer images and/or text between their Samsung monitor and other Samsung devices — including their Galaxy Book, tablet or phone — for a smoother, more efficient work process using their mouse and keyboard.4
Additionally, the Odyssey OLED G9 and Odyssey OLED G8 include the Samsung SmartThings Hub. With the built-in hub, users can connect to various IoT devices that are compatible with Matter and the Home Connectivity Alliance (HCA), for device control.5
When switching from work to play, the Odyssey OLED G9 and Odyssey OLED G8 monitors are all-in-one entertainment hubs. Equipped with the Samsung Smart TV platform and Samsung Gaming Hub, they provide access to streaming and cloud gaming services without downloads, storage constraints or the need for a PC/console.6
A Sleek Design To Light Up Any Space
For the first time, Samsung has brought flat OLED options to the Odyssey lineup and a 16:9 aspect ratio to the Odyssey OLED G8 and Odyssey OLED G6. The new models leverage the Odyssey OLED lineup’s unique, slim metal design and include new Core Lighting+ to fit in their slim bezels.
Core Lighting+ immerses users in the environments of their games and entertainment by emitting ambient light from the back of the monitor. And with a lighting circle four times slimmer than the previous model (G95SC model), it fits in seamlessly with the slim 3.9mm metal bezel. There’s also a new slim metal stand that adopts a tool-free assembly structure, using a 3mm metal plate that provides harmony with the display design and opens up space for other devices.
With the unveiling of these new models, Samsung has further strengthened its OLED lineup and bolstered its leadership position in the gaming monitor market. Together, the Odyssey OLED innovations and the continued advancements of the Odyssey Neo series — which saw the release of the world’s first Dual UHD gaming monitor last year with the 57” Odyssey Neo G9 (G95NC model) — are delivering features and performance that will help define the future of gaming.
