Well, Samsung have unveiled their new range of QLED's for 2020 and underwhelming is an understatement. In fact, it's borderline embarrassing tbh. The new flagship 4K set, the Q95T is actually closer to the current Q85R in spec than it is the Q90R! Basically, Samsung say that this year just take 10 off the model numbers and you get the rough equivalent of the TV from the 2019 range. So, if you buy the new Q80T, you are actually getting the same level of spec as the current Q70R. No 2020 4K QLED will have have as high an amount of local dimming zones as the current Q90R. They are literally making their TV's worse and charging the same money!
It's obvious Samsung are gonna want to push 8K, as they are the only manufacturer producing them atm, but to actually hamstring your lesser products and offer no new advancement in a range that the vast majority of consumers will still be purchasing from, is utterly bizarre.
Certainly makes my £1000 Q85R look a fantastic buy as that Q95T is pretty much the same TV and will not be far off £3k at launch!
Vince isn't too impressed either! LG must be laughing their nuts off.
