This is such a cool idea. Text was the one thing I was concerned about with perhaps color correctness/accuracy/calibration options secondarily, but I'm sure they've got that down.

But hearing that the text looks good is the biggest thing. I may actually consider going down this road.

I did this for a bit with a Q900R, a 65in 8k TV - a upside or downside depending on the time of year and climate is that it uses a lot of power and generates a good amount of heat.

Here’s a review of the series - https://www.rtings.com/tv/reviews/samsung/q900-q900r-8k-qled

One interesting thing is that it’s been firmware updated to support hdmi 2.1 on all hdmi ports now.

Nice article. I'd add that I have 8k@60 supported when using RX 6600XT and Arc A770.

I can't vouch for the color but it's an LCD panel so I suspect it's probably not the best. I have no way of testing this though.

Text is just a function of pixel count and using the standard rgb lcd cell.

The 55" model hasn't been made in a few years so you'd have to buy used. You'd have to beg samsung to bring it back.
