A:AnswerPixel resolution is the difference. The 8K TV will is a much higher resolution TV. I have a 55 inch TV, and the higher resolution makes no sense there. In one comparison by impartial viewers on 55 inch TVs they judged the picture resolution of the 4K tv to be higher than the 8K tv when viewed from 8 or 10 feet away. The review moderator then explained that each pixel is surrounded by a small black area, and that degraded the picture on an 8k 55 inch tv. However an 85 inch TV is much larger, and 8K may make sense for a TV of that size. I would check the internet for comparisons between 8K TVs and 4k TVs for TVs in the 85 inch size.
Notes: Since resolution is measured in one direction the number of pixels between a 4k TV and 8K tv is more than double. There should be 4 times as many pixels in an 8K TV as there are in a 4K tv since there should be twice as many horizontally and twice as many vertically. You'd have to compare the real horizontal and vertical pixel counts to really tell though.
If you had plans of showing 8K movies on your 8K tv I'd check on the availability of 8K movie DVDs, 8K broadcasts, and 8K DVD players. I doubt that there is much available. Samsung will upconvert lower resolution inputs to a higher resolution before display. But the real information isn't there and Samsung is making "guesses" as to what the higher resolution pixels should be. I believe Samsung has gotten very good at this, and the results are very satisfactory, but the process can not be entirely error free.

A:AnswerIt can be mounted on the wall but NOT the way Best Buy / Samsung shows in their photo. It cannot be mounted close to the wall like those in 2019. The power cord protrudes out the back about 3/4" of an inch. So you are stuck with using a VESA mount and must live with the ugly 1 to 1-1/2" wall gap. Why do they show a fake photo on their web site?
The 2019 models looked much better hung since they could be hung like a picture.
A:AnswerHi LeeF - You will need an RCA to HDMI converter like this one. https://www.bestbuy.com/site/insignia-rca-to-hdmi-converter-black/6134312.p?skuId=6134312 ^Val
A:AnswerHi Buckins! Yes, the Q90T sure does have Multi-output Audio! When this function is active, you can set the volume of the Bluetooth headphones higher than the volume of the TV speaker. First, make sure your Bluetooth headphones are paired. Press HOME on your Q90T remote. Then go to Settings > General > Accessibility > Multi-output Audio. Find the device you'd like to pair. ^Gina
