A:Answer4KLOVER2021DM1965 - The Q80A TV is powered by Quantum Dot Technology. QLED TVs’ durability lies in Samsung’s use of inorganic Quantum dots. Unlike display technologies based on organic materials, Quantum dots do not degrade over time. This allows QLED TVs to offer exceptional picture quality that not only lasts much longer than other displays but is guaranteed to be burn-in free for 10 years by our Q-Guarantee. ^Gina
A:AnswerJRJUSTIFY - The Q80A features our powerful Quantum Processor 4K, which enhances your picture from any source into crisp 4K action in each and every scene. In addition, the quality of the image on your screen will vastly depend on the source and the connection. HDMI cables are recommended for optimal HD viewing; and when possible, 4K content will provide the best picture quality. The TV will upscale as best as possible any content sent to it. The closer the signal is to 4K, the better it will look coming out. ^Gina
A:AnswerFrom everything I've Read its a VA panel, NOT an IPS display like the smaller versions. I cant find any reviews on the 85 inch though so the quality of the TV screen is up in the air.
