Samsung Neo QLED 8K TVs Get Wi-Fi 6E Certifiied
Samsung Electronics has announced that its 2021 Neo QLED 8K TV models (QN900A, QN800A) have earned the world’s first Wi-Fi 6E certification from the Wi-Fi Alliance (WFA). Wi-Fi 6E.
Wi-Fi 6E is an extension of the Wi-Fi 6 standard or 802.11ax. The E stands for Extended and the main feat of the expansion is the addition of support for the 6GHz band, which runs from 5925MHz to 7125MHz. Compatibility with older Wi-Fi standards will remain and Wi-Fi 6E will thus have three bands: 2.4GHz, 5GHz and 6GHz.
Wi-Fi 6E is a new standard in connected technology, offers Samsung Neo QLED 8K TV owners not only four times faster connectivity1, but also stable and reliable data transfers – even when multiple devices are connected to one router – perfect for those who enjoy immersive high-definition OTT content. The newly certified Wi-Fi 6E technology is designed to use 6GHz frequency in combination with the existing 2.4GHz and 5GHz frequencies. Now, select Samsung Neo QLED 8K TVs can support larger bandwidth loads, process faster multi-gigabit data, enable low latency and provide reliable and secure connectivity. In addition, Wi-Fi 6E technology will be further implemented into existing and future TV portfolios, given the breadth and depth of the technology’s use cases today and in forthcoming applications.
As TVs and mobile devices continue to evolve into connectivity hubs for consumers across a variety of lifestyle routines, demand for handling high data capacity has increased. Whether streaming 4K and 8K high-definition videos or enjoying VR content and high-performance games, Samsung’s Neo QLED 8K TVs with Wi-Fi 6E support are for consumers looking for premium viewing experiences at home.
“As the global leader in the TV industry, Samsung is proud to have achieved the world’s first Wi-Fi 6E certification on our TVs,” said Younghun Choi, Executive Vice President of Visual Display Business at Samsung Electronics. “With a growing set of immersive content experiences and features across the home, the certification provides Neo QLED 8K TV owners with even better access to the things they love to do.”

What doesn't neo stand for? As if QLED wasn't confusing enough

Neo QLED is the new Mini-LED back-lighting. Basically a lot more dimming zones.. Around 700 or so for the panel.
I just don't get the point of 8K Tv's. Most people don't even have TV's big enough to utilise 4K properly.

Got me a 55" Class Samsung Q70R QLED two years ago. Honestly, that's the best TV I ever owned - I literally see no point in an upgrade right now. I can't even imagine how much better an image can get.
Paired this one with Nvidia Shield TV Pro, for upscaling older movies. The image is insane with Blue-Ray quality videos.

Agreed Cryo, keep it for a few more years atleast. New German compounds for OLED, and new AMQLED panels from BOE are coming, which will be a much bigger upgrade. This is more of a side grade for Q70.
I am in the same boat, got C9 two years ago, and I see no reason to upgrade.
