Samsung Q9FN TV review: The big, bright, back-lit QLED boss

Looking back at Samsung’s debut QLED tellies from last year, it’s hard not to think that they came out a year too soon. They were eye-wateringly expensive, and their use of only edge-based LED lighting ultimately seemed to sell the potential of Samsung’s new metal-clad Quantum Dot technology short.

All of which puts some serious pressure on the Q9FN: the first of Samsung’s second-generation QLED models to arrive in our test rooms. Can the 2018 set make QLED technology the OLED-beater that Samsung seems so convinced it can be?
