    Samsung unveiled its latest Neo QLED TVs at CES 2023 in Las Vegas, boasting improved Mini-LED technology and insane levels of peak brightness of 4,000 nits, among many other advanced features. The 2023 QN900C Neo QLED TV series comes in a variety of formats, and this year, Samsung added a new size to the lineup, measuring a whopping 98 inches. We were introduced to these Neo QLED TVs on the show floor at CES 2023 in Las Vegas, and we're sharing our hands-on experience in a new video below.

    Hardware specifications and design languages aside, there's something to be said for the sheer size of Samsung's new 98-inch Neo QLED TV. It's a monster-size TV — large enough to stand out even on the CES 2023 show floor — and seeing it in action brings about a sense of awe. The viewing surface is large enough to match a projector, and customers will certainly need a sizeable room to fit this 98-inch smart TV.

    Hands-on with Samsung's QN900C Neo QLED

    The QN900C series comes in four sizes, including 65, 75, and 85 inches, along with the aforementioned 98-inch model. The 65, 75, and 85-inch variants adopt the Infinity Screen design similar to the QN900B series, whereas the 98-inch model follows the Infinite One Design language.

    They all have extremely thin bezels, but the 98-inch model also benefits from a metal back construction that improves its structural rigidity — something needed given the sheer size of this TV.

    One other differentiating factor between the “smaller” QN900C models and the 98-inch variant is that the latter includes what Samsung calls the 6.4.4 OST Cinematic Plus sound experience.

    Samsung's new QN900C series benefits from a new Neural Quantum Processor 8K that features 64 neural net cores for improved image quality and upscaling. They support 4K and 8K resolutions at 120Hz and 60Hz refresh rates, respectively.

    Don't forget to check out our hands-on video below for a more detailed look at the Samsung QN900C series, and stay tuned for more CES 2023 coverage.
