Few people will be able to afford the new 115-inch Samsung Neo QLED 4K TV. As much as I would love to have $26,999 lying around to spend on a glorious big-screen TV, unfortunately I'm only about 2,690 paid subscribers from being able to afford that (so go on, subscribe!).
Still, if you are one of the few people who can afford to drop that much money on a TV, today is your lucky day! The Neo QLED 4K QN90F is available for pre-order from Samsung and select Australian retailers from today.
There's a lot of tech inside this monstrously large TV β and not just because it's Samsung's largest Neo QLED 4K model yet.
It's powered by Samsung's NQ8 AI Gen3 processor, which uses 768 neural networks to make the picture and sound better.
When you're stretching content across 115 inches, you need serious processing power to stop everything looking rubbish. Samsung's thrown in something called Supersize Picture Enhancer, which basically uses AI to clean up the picture and reduce noise.
There's also 4K upscaling, so your older content won't look completely awful on this massive screen.
The Mini LED backlight gets Quantum Matrix Technology Plus for better contrast, and there's HDR10+ support that adjusts brightness scene by scene.
Like my current favourite TV the S95F OLED, the QN90F has Samsung's Glare-Free technology, which does a great job of eliminating screen glare.
If you're spending $27,000 on a TV, you don't want to spend half your time looking at your own reflection.
This glare-free coating is certified by UL Solutions, and I found it really impressive in the OLED TV model.
Given how many Australian living rooms have massive windows and natural light, this matters.
For gamers, Motion Xcelerator 144Hz is included, and there's also AI Motion Enhancer Pro for sports, which is supposed to keep fast-moving objects sharp.
The TV has Dolby Atmos speakers and Object Tracking Sound+, but honestly if you spend $27K on a TV and not use a soundbar there is something very, very wrong with you.
On top of all that, you get all the standard Samsung TV features, too.
Samsung TV Plus for free streaming, Gaming Hub for cloud gaming, SmartThings for your smart home, and Samsung Knox for security.
The TV runs Samsung's Tizen operating system, and Samsung promises seven years of software updates.
It's still pretty cheap when you break it down to the cost per pixel, though.

Pricing and availability
If you pre-order through Samsung.com/au before 29 October, you get $1,000 bonus value to use at purchase, plus free delivery and installation to eligible postcodes.
At $26,999, this TV costs more than many people's cars. But it's also going to be a bigger TV than any of your friends have, which makes the purchase worth it, doesn't it?
