Samsung Introduces Mini-LED TV Series for 2025 with ‘A New Era of Samsung AI’
- 8K and 4K Neo QLED mini LED TVs from 43 inches to 115 inches
- Great Glare Free technology in Samsung’s best mini LED TVs
- A wireless 8K 120Hz connection box in the top model
Samsung has announced its new Neo QLED TV range at CES 2025. The 2025 lineup includes two 8K models and three series of 4K models with screen sizes ranging from 43 inches to 115 inches. According to the company, all TVs represent “a new era of Samsung AI,” with improvements ranging from 4K and 8K upscaling to AI-based content searching.
Samsung sets are generally among the best TVs, and the new Neo QLED models look set to continue that tradition. AI Upscaling Pro, a feature previously limited to the company’s 8K TVs, will now be available on 4K models. An Auto HDR Remastering Pro feature uses AI to dynamically enhance colors, while Real Depth Enhancer Pro analyzes image depth to create something that feels less 2D.
The Glare Free technology used by last year’s Samsung S95D OLED TV to effectively eliminate screen glare has been carried over to Samsung’s top 8K and 4K mini-LED models, the QN990F and QN90F, making them truly should make ideal candidates for our list of the best TVs for sports. Those same models get a gaming boost with 165Hz support for PC gaming, and up to 4K 240Hz on the QN990F. A new Wireless One Connect Box will also debut in 2025 with the QN990F, allowing wireless 8K 120Hz transmission to the TV up to 10 meters away.
Most Samsung TVs in 2025, including the Neo QLED series, now have access to the Samsung Art Store portal. This is a feature previously limited to Samsung The Frame TVs and allows viewers to display works of art from world-class museums such as The Met in New York and The Louvre in Paris on the TV screen.
On the Dolby Atmos soundbar front, a new “convertible” 3.1.2-channel model, the QS700F, can be used for table or wall installation, with the soundbar automatically detecting the installation direction. The new flagship Q990F soundbar system features a new ultra-compact subwoofer design that uses dual 8-inch active drivers to reduce vibration, and Samsung’s Q-Symphony technology is being expanded to more models and now supports wireless connection from a TV to up to three separate devices.
8K Neo QLED: Samsung QN990F and QN900F
The QN990F is Samsung’s best 8K TV for 2025 and will be available in screen sizes from 65 to 98 inches. This model features the company’s new NQ8 AI Gen3 processor and has a glare-free screen coating to eliminate reflections. It uses the new 8K wireless One Connect Box for wireless connection from sources, with support for 8K 120Hz up to 10 meters away. Samsung says the QN900F can reach peak brightness of up to 2,000 nits – a level that 8K TVs struggle to achieve due to their small pixel pitch, but which Samsung has compensated for with a new backlight structure.
That backlight is supported by a new metal frame design for the QN990F, which also makes room for rugged 6.2.4-channel built-in speakers with 90W of power, and Object Tracking Sound (OTS) Pro processing to determine the position of sounds to match the action on the screen. For gaming, the QN990F supports both 8K at 165 Hz and 4K at 240 Hz.
The QN900F series is available in sizes 65, 75 and 85 inches and is equipped with Samsung’s NQ8 AI Gen2 processor. An Ultra Viewing Angle function improves off-axis image quality and there’s a 4.2.2-channel built-in speaker system with 70W of power and OTS+ processing. The QN900F series supports up to 8K 120Hz input for gaming.
4K NeoQLED: QN90F, QN80F, QN70F
Samsung’s lineup of 4K mini-LED TVs is led by the QN90F series, which is available in screen sizes from 43 to 115 inches. Just like the 8K QN990F, the QN90F series has a glare-free screen and 165Hz support. An Ultra Viewing Angle feature improves off-axis image quality and a bezel-free screen gives the QN90F a “floating” effect. Audio on the QN90F series is provided by 4.2.2-channel built-in speakers with 60W of power and OTS+ processing.
The QN80F series is available in screen sizes from 50 to 100 inches. It has many of the same picture processing features as QN90F series TVs and has 4.0 channel speakers powered by 30W with OTS Lite and Active Voice Amplifier Pro.
Completing the lineup, Samsung has a new entry-level QN70F series mini LED TV, which will be available in 55, 65, 75, and 85-inch screen sizes.
Samsung soundbars from 2025
Samsung’s new soundbar series is led by the Q990F, an 11.1.4-channel system with support for Dolby Atmos and DTS:X. The Q990F features a new compact subwoofer with dual 8-inch active drivers in an opposing configuration to eliminate vibration. Unlike the subwoofers that typically come with soundbars, this one has a cube-like design similar to offerings from hi-fi brands. Other features include HDMI 2.1 inputs with 4K 120Hz pass-through, built-in Samsung SmartThings Hub and Roon Ready certification.
Another highlight of the Samsung soundbar for 2025 is the QS700F, a 3.1.2 channel with a “convertible design” that allows for wall or tabletop installation. A built-in gyro sensor automatically detects the soundbar’s orientation and configures the output to properly deliver Dolby Atmos height effects. The QS700F also features a compact subwoofer with a 6.5-inch driver and supports Q-Symphony for enhanced presentation with compatible Samsung TVs.
