The Q9FN(above) is "the best TV Samsung has ever made", says Caleb Denison on Digital Trends. It offers the "most pleasurable set-up experience available today" and, once you've got it out of the box, delivers a "killer picture" on its QLED screen that manages to be intensely bright while still maintaining deep black levels. But it is about so much more than picture quality; it's also a joy to use and its smart TV system is "better than ever", with apps such as Netflix loading immediately. It "does everything", and is quite simply "one of the most rounded TVs you can buy today".

Ben Judge

Ben studied modern languages at London University's Queen Mary College. After dabbling unhappily in local government finance for a while, he went to work for The Scotsman newspaper in Edinburgh. The launch of the paper's website, scotsman.com, in the early years of the dotcom craze, saw Ben move online to manage the Business and Motors channels before becoming deputy editor with responsibility for all aspects of online production for The Scotsman, Scotland on Sunday and the Edinburgh Evening News websites, along with the papers' Edinburgh Festivals website.

Ben joined MoneyWeek as website editor in 2008, just as the Great Financial Crisis was brewing. He has written extensively for the website and magazine, with a particular emphasis on alternative finance and fintech, including blockchain and bitcoin. 

As an early adopter of bitcoin, Ben bought when the price was under $200, but went on to spend it all on foolish fripperies.
