I compared the two side by side with settings the same at a distance that mimics the distance I view TV in my home. and at that distance I could not tell the difference between the two. As I got further away (20-25 feet), one could easily see that the Q90 had a brighter picture. I chose the Q80 for the following reasons: 1. No discernible difference in picture quality at normal home viewing distances 2. The Q90 has a better audio system but I use a home theater for audio so that would be a waste 3. The Q80 has all connections on the back of the set like TVs have always had. The Q90 uses the One Connect box where a separate box has all the smarts and connections with a single cable bringing power and video to the set. The box is not tiny but smaller than any other component (more like a large brick!) but you need to find a place to hide it. I wasn’t looking to add another component to my system and I was concerned about heat inside a cabinet. The Q80 barely gets warm. If you can't see the difference why pay the extra money?
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.The average consumer will not tell ...the black levels on the 90 are better but not for that amount of money when the average person can’t tell. I also do not like the separate box supplied with the 90 that you must use to plug in all your wires ...something to think about
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.If you can afford the Q90 by it it's in a whole different category in itself but it is kind of expensive. If you wanna eat awesome TV with awesome picture and tons and tons of other stuff going on with it get the Q80 I absolutely love it. If I had the money I would have bought the Q90 but I am extremely happy with the Q80. Put it with the Q80 sound bar and they pair up extremely well.
