Does it display native 8K resolutions? 2 HDMI inputs required? Or is it just upscaling? Or is it faux sub pixel 8K, like Sharp did in the early 1080p days? Not exactly very clear is it.....
Its a native 8K set and apparently has one HDMI 2.1 port. If so this would be a very futureproof TV for anyone currently looking at a new set. Providing the prices arn't crazy. Native 8K, 4000 nits and a HDMI 2.1 connection. If this also has eARC along with VRR that's a pretty impressive spec.
I think its £3500 for the 65 Q9FN at the moment. I think the Samsung conference is on right now also so there might be prices very soon.
Prices in Europe:
4.999 65", 6.999 75", 85" 14.999 (€). Not cheap but not crazy expensive imho.

According to the press release only the 85" reaches 4000nits. 65" and 75" can be much different TVs and only a slight upgrade to the Q9FN. You don´t get 8K resolution and picture processing for free. The prices of the 65" and 75" seems very low for a complete revolutionary set and still no word about miniLED backlight. So we have to wait and see how they will perform in real life.
Dank der QLED-Technologie von Samsung kann der Verbraucher die echte 8K-Auflösung mit bis zu 4.000 Nits Spitzenhelligkeit (85 Zoll Modell) erleben – der Standard, dem die meisten Filmstudios folgen.
Mit QLED 8K TV läutet Samsung zur IFA eine neue Ära seiner Bildqualität ein. In 65 (163 cm), 75 (189 cm) und 85 Zoll (216 cm) erfüllt die Q900 Serie die Kundenwünsche nach großen Display-Diagonalen, hochwertigem Design und immer höherer Bildqualität. Möglich wird diese durch die vierfache 4K-Auflösung, extrem hohe Helligkeitswerte von bis zu 4.000 Nits (85 Zoll Modell), enorm tiefes Schwarz dank Direct Full Array Elite und 100 Prozent Farbvolumen. Ungeachtet der Auflösung des Ausgangsmaterials optimiert der Quantum Processor 8K mithilfe von künstlicher Intelligenz Bild und Ton, sodass Zuschauer Bilder in atemberaubender 8K HDR Qualität mit phänomenaler Tiefenwirkung genießen können. Edles 360-Grad-Design, der stilvolle Ambient-Modus und die One Invisible Connection runden das Premium-TV-Erlebnis der Q900 Serie ab.
German press release! Even in the headline.
IFA 2018: Samsung ebnet mit QLED 8K TV den Weg in eine neue Ära seiner Bildqualität
It makes sense, because a bigger screen means a more advanced LED backlight.
I've said it many time, There is no technology that can be future proofed. It an impossible definition.Every time I’ve bought something that looked futureproofed everyone moved the goal posts.
True but I feel like wed need clarification on that as that's the only place that's stated that and everywhere else with the way its worded seems to describe the 4000nits as a feature for the whole range (Q HDR 8K). I'm sure well get more info on that soon and clarification.
Those prices are pretty damn good if true.. I was expecting highter. 7K for the 75inch seems very good. The reason why I'm saying its very future proof is because its the only set on the market with a HDMI 2.1 port and wont need tone mapping for HDR10 because it hits 4000 nits.
Respected US reviewer, he seems certain it doesn't have 2.1....
Does seem very early to have a 2.1 chipset, so the TV is solely relying on upscaling then, or native 8K 24hz..
The cost is making more sense now.

I was just going by what John Archer stated.
"One big issue for 8K TVs is the need for their HDMI inputs to handle the vast volumes of data associated with 8K video streams. So it’s a massive relief to find that the Q900Rs will all carry one HDMI built to the recently ratified HDMI 2.1 standard capable of handling 8K data streams."
According to him they will have one capable HDMI 2.1 port.
