Customer Ratings & Reviews

After going thru several selections thru research a d returning 1 model that wasnt what it said it was i settled on the Q80A. It is an awesome tv. Out of the box the settings are maxed on brightness and contrast. I recommend brightness down at least 10 points and contrast cut in half. Thats where i found the best results. The local area dimming is not bad. Considerably better then the M555 65" fire tv that i returned. It does run the Xbox X at 4k doing 120Htz of refresh. It has an HDMI 2.1 port even though it says it doenst. It is labeled game or HDMi 4. Over all i recommend this tv as an upgrade from standard 4k flat screens. Its a lottle more money but the overall benefits weigh out. Also another thing to note about this TV. I am extremely OCD about how well i can hear what i am watching. This TV accomplishes the best souns from a modern flat screen i have personnaly ever heard. I have owned well over 20 tvs ov the years. This one has sound nailed down. Also turn on Itelligent systems and all its features. Thus settles the TVs settings a bit more and adds to the greatness of this model. The rechargeable remote is awesome as well. Its not clogged up with useless buttons. Charging off thw Xbox X teither works great to recharge it. Enjoy. Game On.

Bought this tv as replacement for an old and too small one. This tv is used practically 24 hours a day. So far no complaints, has a great picture and is easy to handle. The remote was on the small side with no numbers, but once you get the hang of it, it's actually pleasant to use. It reacts real quick to the tv. It is definitely a big improvement in the living room, could have actually gone one more size up. Love the tv, it's clear screen with lively colours and the ease of using. Would definitely recommend to buy, you won't be disappointed. And I read all the reviews before I bought. Even set it up myself as an a-technical woman, it was a piece of cake. The pictures don't do justice to the real view.

Everything I expected & more! Awesome picture, color & sound. No glare! Cant go wrong at the price.

The color,clarity,sound and ease of use with apps and remote are all great! Great streaming!Great contrast between bright and shaded areas with vivid detail! This is my first Samsung and it has won me over!

I am in Love with this TV. You want options on screen. You can change this to whatever your fancy is. So much full brightness and color and sound is out of this world. This is so worth it all.

It’s 4.8 Star for me! It has really variety color in it! It’s beautiful and clear! It’s bright when it’s on! When it’s white! It’s like light on but as colorful are so beautiful, enjoy that tv! I love it! When I watched movies as Netflix, HboMax , Disney Plus and Prime video movies, it’s awesome to watch it , it’s as like going to AMC Movies! Awesome!

Love it, the color and the sound. Will connect to existing stereo shortly

So far so good. Color’s are good and it’s brighter then the LG we returned. The geek squad did an incredible job of installing it and returning the LG.

We absolutely love this TV`. The color and clarity are in ncredible!

Couldn't be happier with our choice of this tv. Color is great, picture is great. Not much of a glare if at all even in a bright room. The remote being solar recharging is awesome. We've had this tv for a few months now and zero problems. Other people complained of stickers on the screen that couldnt come off or that the screen wasnt perfectly clear...they did not pull the screen protector off. Ours had a tab so maybe Samsung made a small update on their packaging after so many complaints but it was easy to remove and crystal clear picture after that. Even with the protective film, it was rather clear, just not perfect.

Very happy with this purchase, and even happier I did not cheap out; My original budget ceiling was $1000. but I got this one anyway. Samsung did not make me regret it. Color is amazing, the picture is vibrant and detailed without looking oversaturated. View angles are very good (I have been told this because of a new panel added since the Q80T series). I have it in a bright room, and it is plenty bright to make the screen completely visible. Very little reflection. It uses a local dimming feature that makes blacks blacker than they otherwise would be with a full always-on LED backlight. It does work, but it is not going to match a true OLED display for blacks. But if you can't get OLED, this is probably the next best thing. The OS is very quick and fluid, and there is little to complain about, save for the typical Samsung thing of including apps you cannot remove (Apple TV is an example...it will appear on your Home bar forever....you can't uninstall it or remove it). But you do have full control over picture and OS settings otherwise. I am often critical of Samsung OSs...I have owned many Samsung TVs, all with horrible UIs. But this one is slick, fast, and mostly intuitive. You will need to join Samsung Plus to get access to the full app library (it's free). But every app I needed is on there, and all the apps appear to be "current"...so I don't feel the need to use my Roku or Fire TV. The OS will allow you to set your own default voice assistant; Alexa, Google, and Siri are supported. I used Google...did not have any luck using it to change system settings or anything. But if you want to, say, find directions or hours for stores and stuff, it could be useful. The OS will also auto-adjust things like brightness and volume for you if you want, so you can go from very dark to very light ambient light wiothout having to mess with the settings. So far, I have not seen reason to mess with it, and I usually feel like I have to adjust stuff like that. The remote is another thing Samsung usually gets wrong. The last one I used had a weird IR-cursor thing that was too sensitive to be useful. But again, this TV remote is amazing. Very minimalistic but functional. It has a non-removable batter that is charged by either USB-C, or a solar panel built into the back. Simply leaving the solar panel exposed all the time (you don't need direct sunlight) is probably enough to keep it charged. It's a neat idea. If you're on the fence about going a little cheaper, my advice is just take the plunge. It was worth it for me. MY scores are relative to other TVs in this price range for this size.

First of all, if you are reading this review for gaming on next-gen consoles, I won't be able to input because I do gaming on a PC with a separate setup. Now for the Tv review, I would like to say that the overall picture quality is great. HDR10 seems to work well and the upscaling is very good for a 'midrange' tv. I love the center stand and the solar charging remote is a nice touch. The panels are extremely thin, but that should be the case on any tv in this price range. Overall brightness is solid as well. Now I will point out that I returned a faulty Vizio Oled and decided upon this tv for a handful of reasons. Of course price was the first reason as Oleds tend to be expensive, which is why I ended up trying a Vizio Oled in the first place over an LG or Sony. I was able to pick the Samsung Q80A QLed up for a sale price of $1400. That being said, I feel like that is a fair price for this tv. Had I purchased it for the full retail price, I would have felt a sense of regret because I have seen the difference and Oled is definitely superior in many ways. Nonetheless, the Samsung Q80A has outstanding picture quality for everyday usage and definitely competes with Oled for what it is. The reasons I give this tv a 4 star is because there are some caveats. The Q80A holds up well in dark scenes and full array backlighting is solid, but there is still a slight blooming effect that is noticeable. Also, Samsung TVs are not compatible with Dolby Vision. Dolby Vision is being utilized more and more, and in my opinion is superior to standard HDR. And lastly, this tv along with many of Samsung's 2021 models does suffer a bit of DSE (dirty screen effect). I won't say that it is awful by any means but it is there. Most people probably won't notice it or even look for it though. To summarize my review, I think the Samsung Q80A is a good tv but not a great tv. I enjoy it, I really do. And I think it's competitive to the Oled market because it feasts on Oled weaknesses such as brightness, glare and fear of burn in, all while still producing great blacks and decent contrast. The price range I purchased it at ($1400) seems to me like the more fair option. At $1800, I would tell you to spend the extra money on an Oled because contrast on Oled is just bar none better. And at $1800, I think Dolby Vision should be an option. Regardless, the Samsung Q80A is a great looking Tv.

Great picture and vibrant colors. Incredibly clear

Tv is amazing. So bright and vibrant. Darks look good too because of local dimming feature

Beautiful color! Love my new tv!! It’s a 65” Samsung with the best picture ever!

Great picture! Color is perfect. Love this TV. This TV has it all, picture quality,sound quality and brightness. Very easy to use. Fits perfect in my living room. I have it in a corner, and you can see it perfectly at any angle. Very happy with this purchase.

As always with Samsung TV's, color is gorgeous! Easy to operate and the sound is excellent. Extremely thin with very slight beveled edge frame so it hangs very close to the wall and gives you the most picture area on this 65" TV.

TV is great, amazing sound and picture. Great color and 4k is amazing! Set up was easy right out of the box! Pretty simple and it connects to your phone which is great as our older TV did none of these things!

Great TV. The sound could be better but we have a sound bar so that makes it better. The color and ease to get to the apps is amazing! I love that the remote is dolor powered!!! Saves on batteries!!!

Would have preferred the 75 inch, but $500 more is too much for that screen size increase. Default picture settings are quite saturated. Brightness is very good, reduced it from the default setting also. Wish TVs these days still had some of the older plugs for input. Haven’t yet figured out how to not have Samsung TV channel start when TV is first turned on. Sometimes the image isn’t quite as clear where there’s a lot of activity in a small area on the screen, such as line of scrimmage in a football game, but it clears up quickly; it’s worth noting I don’t see that on the 4K channels. Almost no delay when first turning the TV on, which I really like. Haven’t yet figured out how to have a screen saver active. Had it almost a month. So far I like it quite well after having it almost a month.
