Q: Regarding the QN80A in the 50" screen size, is the panel a VA panel, IPS, or ADS? - Don
A: This is the same guy who asked the question. I meant Q80A, in the 50" size. My research (Rtings.com) says that the 50" and the 85" models have VA panels, and all models in-between have ADS panels, which are similar to IPS. I'm int'd in the 50" BECAUSE of the VA panel, (as well as other features-) for it's improved contrast ratio and blacks, even at the expense of viewing angle. I'm just fishing for someone in-the-know to confirm that the 50" does indeed have the VA panel. Finally, I've noticed a lot of tap-dancing around the subject of whether the 50" has the much-desired 120Hz@4K ability, VRR, and HDMI 2.1. Samsung, you're #1, don't be disingenuous. It's beneath you. The answer, rather than referring everyone straight to the 55" version, is that NO, THE 50" DOES NOT HAVE THOSE FEATURES. See, that wasn't so hard, was it...?
Q: What is the difference between the Samsung Class Q60A and Class Q80A?
A: NancyD - The Q60A is the first model in our 4K QLED lineup. It does come in the widest variety of sizes. When stepping up to the Q70A, you gain the advantage of our Quantum Processor 4K with Machine Learning AI. You step up the clarity and smoothness of your 4K picture with an ultra-fast processor that adapts to each and every scene, no matter what the source. You also gain the advantage of Motion Xcelerator Turbo+ which allows you to see action scenes, sports, and gaming with minimized motion blur. Motion Xcelerator Turbo+ supports advanced features like FreeSync Premium Pro for best game play available. When stepping up to the Q80A, you will gain Quantum HDR 12X and Direct Full Array Backlighting, giving you an extensive range of contrast with deep blacks and pure whites, as well as Freesync Premium Pro for an enhanced gaming experience. The Q80A also features Object Tracking Sound which utilizes 4 speakers, providing a complete experience by placing sound exactly where objects appear on-screen and optimizes sound based on the scene. ^Gina
