In addition to OLED and QLED TVs, the Korean giant Samsung does not forget to update its simpler TVs of the seventh, eighth and ninth series. According to Samsung, these lines will be an excellent choice for users who are looking for a modern TV with high picture quality, but do not plan to overpay for overclocked refresh rates, Dolby Atmos decoders or advanced image enhancement algorithms.


Instead, the potential buyer receives a fairly high-quality, bright and high-contrast VA panel with 4K resolution, HDR10+ support and a built-in AMD FreeSync frame synchronizer, which hides stairs and other graphic artifacts in games in the background. Of course, gamers may be confused by the limited refresh rate of 60 Hz, but given that the PS5 and Xbox Series X often suffer when launching games in 2023, delivering 60 frames per second at best, 60 Hz is difficult to write down as a clear disadvantage.

Unlike the seventh and eighth series, the “nines” are not so numerous. The line includes less than a dozen similar models with diagonals from 43 to 77 inches. All are powered by Samsung's Crystal 4K processor with built-in Pur Color and Contrast Enhancer algorithms to artificially enhance brightness and contrast. Naturally, upscaling to 4K is supported. The image can be transferred to the TV using an HDMI cable, a USB port, or over the air using AirPlay 2 technology. For output, simple stereo systems with a pair of 10-watt speakers are used.
