Samsung pre order got a lot of rebates.. very tempting.. looking at qn85f but cant find any good reviews as this model is still new.

I have corporate EPP account (my company's benefit for us) and the price is even more tempting. QN85F is only 5.4k

Hard decision to make:

Samsung 65" OLED S85F @ RM6949

or

Samsung 65" Neo QLED QN85F @ RM5194

Using it in my living room, mostly at night to watch HBO MAX, Apple TV, Netflix, Disney+ and Amazon Prime. Samsung OS does have all these apps right?

It's a bummer there's no extended warranty to purchase from Samsung. Any idea for 3rd party insurance?

Finally saw it in Harvey Norman. Looks amazing! Sales person came and chit chat with me when I’m checking out the unit, he asked me what TV I’m using now. I told him Sony.

He shake his head and say a lot of customer bought Sony came back and complain about the reliability. Ask me to try Samsung or LG instead because they hear way less complain from the Korean brand lately.

My 65" QN85D just arrived, replacing my 6 years old 55" NU8000. Nothing wrong with the NU8k, I just fancy a bigger TV for the living room. Got the QN85D for rm4.4k and will redeem rm500 TnG credit. TV is manufactured in Feb 2025, so it is not an old stock.

At first, I expect the QN85D to be just a small step-up over the NU8k, but after the picture adjustment, I'm surprised the difference is big. It is brighter, has better bloom control, better contrast and no more brightness change when subtitle is on in HDR.

The NU8k is still going strong but started to show its age (lack of app support). For less than rm4k, I think QN85D is underappreciated and performs better than expected.

Glad to hear that your Samsung lasted that long. I hope mine will last long too. Given up on shitty Sony because of reliability issue.

I noticed a new model@ 65" Neo QLED QN3EF selling 5k+ in epp now. Anyone know the major difference compared with qn85f @ 7.4k?
I checked the spec and found identical spec

I suggest you wait. EPP price increased significantly now. Wait for it to come back down. Previously 65" QN85f is around RM5.3k only. Now EPP price is similar to normal store price. Don't know what is Samsung thinking.

I called Samsung today out of curiosity, they said QN3EF has a slimmer body and different stand. That's the only difference. Both panels are the same. If you're aiming MINI LED Samsung TV all these while, perhaps it's a good time to get it. Or you can wait for OLED to drop price again but I'm not sure that it will drop. Even if drop it will be around RM7k++ for 65" S85F

Flagship OLED S95F 65” promotion is even crazier. RM11,111 and can claim RM3k TNG credit. Means you’re only paying RM8,111 for it

Harvey Norman extended warranty is top notch. Price is reasonable. Bought another S95F with them during 11.11 promo. Samsung promo respond is also quick. 3K TNG voucher approved within 2 days after submitting supporting documents.
