Samsung UE85S9 review

When I was first told I would be doing an exclusive test of Samsung's UE85S9 TV, I suspected my review would be built around just one thing: the jaw-dropping £35,000 price tag.

Ultra HD pictures look magical; impressive upscaling; sound quality is insanely good; the design is a work of art

Marginal haloing during dark scenes; occasional bluish noise over fine details; I can’t afford one

Samsung UN85S9AF LCD/LED Ultra HDTV

2D Performance Features Ergonomics Value

I once joked about the humongous 100-inch-plus HDTVs many manufacturers trot out at trade shows, suggesting that the best way to get them into your house was to place the TV where you thought it should go on the slab of your house under construction,...
