The Q9F flagship TV isn’t ultra slim and it is quite heavy but its design is sleek and catches the eye quick enough.

There are three different sizes of the flagship TV: a 65- and 75-inch model that weighs 66 pounds and 94 pounds respectively.

The third models is the biggest; is sized 88-inch and weighs over a hundred pounds.

One other thing to admire about the Q9F is the TV’s easy setup and clean installation.

From the easily installable legs that helps hides the TV cables perfectly, to the virtually invisible fiber optics audio and visual cables, tiny bezels, and custom wall mount, one can’t help but laud Samsung’s effort at making the Q9F look more like a big slab with screen glued to the wall.

Speaking of walls, the Samsung Q9F QLED TV has an “Ambient Mode” feature which mimics the wall pattern on which the TV is placed when you aren’t watching the TV, instead of an empty black screen.

This can be achieved by either taking a photo of the wall or wallpaper or wall paint(work) around/behind the TV so that when you aren’t watching, only the super-slim bezel will be visible while blank display takes up your wall pattern or paint colour.

You can crank up the brightness level of the Ambient Mode without the fear of racking up excess charges on your electricity bill as Samsung says the features is designed to consume only little amount of electricity.

If you don’t want the Q9F screen blank when you the TV isn’t displaying anything and aren’t excited by the Ambient Mode either, you can set the screen to display some other information like weather forecast.

For gaming, the Q9F comes with a built-in “Auto Game Mode” that switches the display to a (fast responding) Game picture mode  can automatically detect when it detects that a user is playing a game on the TV either on a console or on a built-in game app.

Other interesting features of the Samsung Q9F QLED TV include support for mobile and smart home integration via the Samsung SmartThings app, Bixby Voice assistant support, and a Universal Guide that allows you browse through a collection of streaming and TV apps.

Display Quality

The display quality of the Q9F QLED TV is one of the most improved feature of the appliance as image and pictures come out clean and crisp like that of OLED TVs.

Although, it cannot achieve the pitch black level of an OLED display, it sure does come really close despite being a LED TV.

In fact, the Q9F QLED TV can be safely said to have the display quality of an OLED TV, minus the drawbacks (like burn-in, poor display wuality in well lit environment, and colour degradation) that accompanies OLED TVs.

In dark rooms, the image and colour quality isn’t as good as that of OLED but in well-lit rooms, it leaves OLED in the dust.
