Remember that beautiful, 85-inch QLED 8K TV that Samsung unveiled in August? The one you absolutely won’t be able to find content for?

Well the Q900 is now available for pre-order, and it costs $14,999.99.

The Samsung Q900 will start shipping the week of October 28, so Samsung is (just barely) keeping its promise of making it available in October.

Besides the impressive 7,680×4,320 pixel resolution, the Q900 boasts a 4,000 nit peak brightness, Samsung’s Quantum Processor 8K, HDR10+ support, and AI-assisted 8K upscaling — arguably the TV’s most important feature, as you’ll be watching most of the content on this TV in upscaled mode. 

As far as bleeding edge, huge TVs go, the price isn’t that horrible. But you might want to consider that you can buy three of Samsung’s top-of-the-line, 82-inch, QLED 4K TVs for the price — and the fact that 4K content is actually available right now. 

The Q900 will also come in smaller sizes — 65, 75, and 82 inches — but these aren’t available for pre-order, and there’s no word on the price just yet.
