The Z3 is massive, and looks fantastic with both 8K and lesser sources alike. But it's crazily expensive, not as bright as an LG model costing a third as much, and doesn't quite deliver the next-gen picture quality of the QN900D. It can't place sounds with the same degree of accuracy either.
For
- Gorgeous, incredibly detailed picture
- Strong upscaling performance
- Luxurious design
Against
- It’s painfully expensive
- It’s not as bright as expected
- Slightly inhibited audio performance

The QN900D is the sleeker-looking of the two TVs, and is under half the price of the Z3. Its picture quality is as futuristic as the set's physical design, it sounds that bit better (though still not fantastic) and it's brighter. The stand is a lot cooler, too. Even if 8K never takes off, this is still a worthwhile investment for those with the funds.
For
- Groundbreaking 8K upscaling
- Exceptionally bright and colourful
- Stunning futuristic design
Against
- Average sound quality
- No real 8K content
- Backlight-dimming distractions in some presets
