Samsung’s 2024 Neo QLED TVs are here, and you can preorder them now from $1,200
After getting a glimpse of Samsung’s new TVs at CES 2024 a couple of months back, the time has come for the TV-loving public to finally get their hands on them. Samsung announced today that preorders are now open for its flagship QN900D Neo QLED 8K model and its QN800D sibling, as well as its two new Neo QLED 4K models, the QN90D and QN85D, and its latest The Frame TVs, with prices spanning from $999 to $4,999.
They are available in sizes ranging from the smallest 43-inch QN90D all the way up to a 98-inch version of that model — all four models also have huge 85-inch options. All of the 2024 Neo QLED TVs share similar features that vary, with the 8K QN900 and the 4K QN90D being the top dogs and benefitting from slightly better specs. Some of those shared specs across the models include:
- Mini-LED backlighting: Beautifully bright and with superb picture quality, mini-LED panel tech drives the entire lineup of Samsung’s Neo QLEDs. However, the Neo QLED 8Ks get Samsung’s Quantum Matrix Pro backlighting that has 1.5x more lighting zones than the “Pro”-less Quantum Matrix backlighting of the Neo QLED 4K models.
- Dolby Atmos and Object Tracking Sound: All Neo QLED models have this sound feature that allows 3D surround sound that tracks the movements of what’s happening on-screen for an immersive experience. But they vary slightly as each of the four 2024 QLED models have different built-in sound capabilities we’ll talk about below.
- Auto HDR remastering: AI is a big theme with 2024 TVs from all the major TV brands. Samsung’s new Neo OLEDs all feature AI-driven HDR adjustments that improve color and contrast.
- Sound features – All of Samsung’s 2024 Neo QLEDs include Samsung’s Q Symphony feature that allows users to combine the sound coming from the TV and a compatible soundbar at the same time. All models except for the QN900D 8K also feature Adaptive Sound Pro that analyzes the room and adjusts the sound for the best performance, as well as Samsung’s new Active Voice Amplifier Pro that boosts dialogue and background sound effects.
Here’s all the pricing details for the 2024 Neo QLED TVs:
2024 QN900D Neo QLED 8K TV
The flagship of the Samsung Neo QLED 8K family, the QN900D features the most advanced version of its TV processor yet, the NQ8 AI Gen3, which Samsung says is twice as fast as its predecessor. This new AI-driven processor is the engine for all kinds of picture-enhancing features such as 8K Upscaling Pro for improving lower-resolution content, AI Motion Enhancer Pro for sports and action movies, and Real Depth Enhancer Pro that Samsung says will make the picture more lifelike. The QN900D is also the only model of the new QLEDs that includes Samsung’s One Connect Box for connecting gaming consoles, streaming boxes, and more to keep all the cables out of sight. Lastly, the QN900D also features 90-watt, 6.2.4-channel sound, Auto Game Mode (ALLM), and variable refresh rates (VRR) of up to 240Hz for smooth, lag-free gaming.
2024 QN800D Neo QLED 8K TV
The second 8K in the 2024 Neo QLED lineup, the QN800D is only a slight step down in specs (and in price). It features the less powerful NQ8 AI Gen2 Processor, which more or less translates to slightly less powerful versions of many of the same features, including non-“Pro” versions of motion enhancing, depth enhancement, and upscaling. Game Mode is here, too, the Motion Xcelerator refresh rate is 164Hz, and the QN800D features a 70-watt 4.2.2 channel sound system. Lastly, the QN800D doesn’t come with a One Connect Box, but it does come with a One Connect cable.
2024 QN90D Neo QLED 4K TV
The Neo QLED QN90D is the 2024 version of 2023’s excellent QN90C, and is the flagship of the 2024 4K lineup, as a new version of last year’s QN95C is absent from the 2024 range. This year, the QN90D has gotten a processor upgrade to the AI-powered NQ4 AI Gen2. The new brains of the operation powers many of the same features as the flagship 8K QN900D model and features 60-watt 4.2.2 channel sound, Motion Xcelerator VRR at up to 144Hz, and more. The QN90D is also being offered in a new huge 98-inch size that costs $15,000.
2024 QN85D Neo QLED 4K TV
There’s not much left to say about the most affordable of the 2024 Neo QLED mini-LED TVs except that it is very similar to the QN90D but, again, with slightly more modest specs. It does have the same NQ4 AI Gen2 processor, though, and it again powers lesser versions of the same AI picture features that are missing the “Pro” and “+” designations, but as with the QN85C, you can expect this TV to be a great value as well. For consistency sake, we’ll lastly mention the QN85D’s 40-watt, 2.2-channel sound and its Motion Xcelerator VRR that supports up to 120Hz, which will still be decent for gamers for a lot less.
2024 The Frame QLED 4K TV
Samsung also revealed its 2024 lineup of its The Frame TVs at CES this year, giving the popular QLEDs a bit of a refresh. Coveted by art lovers and decorators for their ability to display beautifully-rendered works of art on its non-reflective matte screen, and with slim, customizable picture frame bezels, this year’s crop is more or less the same but with a key difference. Eco-minded users will appreciate a new feature that automatically switches the screen from its more energy-intensive 120Hz refresh rate used for watching TV to a more efficient 60Hz when The Frame is in Art Mode.
Under the hood, the The Frame TVs are still excellent mini-LED panels, with its Quantum Processor 4K for powering features such as 4K AI upscaling and its bright and colorful picture. Auto Game Mode is present here as well, and gamers and movie lovers alike will like the built-in 40-watt 2.0.2 channel sound that you can also pair with a soundbar byway of Samsung’s Q Symphony.
You can preorder the 2024 Neo QLEDs and The Frame TVs starting today, and Samsung also announced pricing and availability for its top-of-the-line 2024 OLEDS. As part of a promotion that runs until April 11, 2024, if you pre-order one of the new TVs, the company is offering a free 65-inch Samsung TU690T UHD 4K Smart TV.

Samsung’s 2019 QLED TVs are now on sale. Here’s how much you can expect to pay
We were pretty wowed by Samsung’s slate of new TVs at this year’s CES in Las Vegas. With impressive new features, more sizes, and even better image quality, the only remaining questions were: How much will they cost, and when can we get them? We now have answers to both, along with all of the other details around Samsung’s 2019 TV lineup.
New features
This year, all of Samsung’s Smart TVs will be equipped with Apple’s iTunes Movie and TV show catalog of content — a Samsung exclusive for now — as well as AirPlay 2. The company’s 2018 TVs are also expected to get AirPlay 2. The Universal Guide feature has been updated for better usability and now includes available iTunes content for rent or purchase. Samsung’s Bixby intelligent personal assistant makes its debut on the 2019 TVs, and the company’s One Remote has been given far-field mics to pick up voice commands from anywhere in the room. Google Assistant and Amazon Alexa are both slated to be added to these TVs later in the year.
Gamers will appreciate the changes to Samsung’s Real Game Enhancer option, which now incorporates AMD’s Radeon Freesync variable refresh rate technology, which the company claims will help prevent tearing and stuttering. Game Motion Plus is also present, which removes motion blur and judder.
Best Sonos deals: Save $360 on speakers, soundbars and more
Sonos is almost universally considered to be among the best speaker brands. It regularly has models among the best speakers and best soundbars, as it produces high quality audio yet manages to keep its pricing in a range most people can find their way into. This is truly the case right now, as there are a number of Sonos deals going on at various retailers. Bluetooth speakers, soundbars, and subwoofers make up the current crop of best Sonos deals, and we’ve rounded them all up in one place below.
Sonos One SL — $159, was $200
Smart speakers are a crowded marketplace, with products like the Apple HomePod being a popular option. The Sonos One is another popular option though, and the Sonos One SL model has even more to offer. With this speaker you can easily start or expand a multiroom system and enjoy music, radio, podcasts, audiobooks, and more from all of your favorite streaming services. If you purchase two Sonos One SLs you can use them to create a stereo pair when you place them both in the same room. You can even use them as rear speakers if you have a Sonos home theater setup for immersive surround sound.
LG sweetens the deal on its new CineBeam Q projector
If you missed out on the $100-off coupon for the new LG CineBeam Q projector (previously known as the CineBeam Qube), fear not. LG has some other sweeteners in play for the 4K projector. And you have a few weeks to take advantage.
If you preorder it now for $1,299, LG will toss in a free XBoom 360 portable speaker — you’ll have to order the two together — a free leather case, and a $200 Mastercard prepaid card. The deal is good now through April 7, 2024. The CineBeam Q is expected to start shipping one day later.
