Samsung - 55" Class Q80A Series QLED 4K UHD Smart Tizen TV

This yet another excellent TV by Samsung with the right combination of technology and an intuitive user interface to cover your display needs for next decade. The 4k display with Quantum Processor is amazing. All of sudden everything you see is in 4k resolution even though it is not broadcasted such. My phone recorded 4k video looks amazingly clear and so much better. View from any angle looks the same without any color change or degraded quality. Sound on TV is very impressive, specially that moves with the object on screen. Watching fast and furious on tv was such an impressive experience. One would not need a sound bar or surround sound system with this tv, it does provide very impressive sound effects on its own. Color and contrast is such a treat for the eyes and picture quality is amazing under any room lighting condition, be it day or night lights. I loved how thin and light weight the TV is with extremely thin bezel. I am so impressed by the intuitive user interface of the tv and easy of integration with my smart devices in the house. Setting this TV was so much fun and easy. I was done with all the necessary customization and setup in like 15 min and was actually enjoying the view and colors. TV immediately prompted me to enter wifi details on first time startup and once that was done the smart device integration was cake walk. Ambient mode allows, to use the TV as picture frame in the house. Ambient mode has so many more feature and themes along with clock and weather for your location. SmartThings integration with Samsung products, Multi-view with connectivity from Samsung phone are so impressive. Ease of connecting you laptop (PC or Mac) to the tv without any wires , over the air (wifi), is amazing and child’s play. Finally, the solar charging remote control with universal remote capabilities works out of the box with so many devices and integration with Philip DVD player or Bose system is the simplest I have seen for any universal remote. Such an impressive TV and can’t stop sharing details with friends and family. I have read few reviews about the little black triangle on screen, that is nothing but a screen protection film on the tv screen. They probably forgot to take the film out. The screen protection film has a red triangle printed on the screen.

The Samsung 55” Class Q80A QLED 4K TV is great! Right out of the box, this TV is sexy. Sleek, thin, edge to edge LED screen, and a finger-print resistant matte finish on the back. I mounted this TV on the wall, but the stand is a very sturdy one, and attaches to a heavy-duty steel plate. They aren't messing around with the stability of this. From unboxing to set-up, everything was a breeze. AND the SOLAR POWERED remote (yes, you heard that right, solar-powered) works like a charm! Simple, small, and yet with everything you need. As soon as you turn on the TV, you fly though the set-up. It makes connecting all your extra devices, and accounts super easy, and right there as part of the initial set-up. This means you don't have to go searching around for things later to try and get your Netflix, Hulu, Amazon Prime accounts, etc., set-up later. You have plenty of pre-set options for display, as is typical with these newer flat-screen TVs. For example, cinema mode, game mode, and standard. However, Samsung makes it very easy to go through and tweak and adjust picture settings, and quality, to exactly like you want it. There is also a mode that you can set to have the picture and sound automatically adjust depending on ambient light and noise. We tried this out, and found it to work fantastic. Commercial sound levels can finally be at the same level as the show you were watching... The Samsung 55” Class Q80A QLED 4K TV has 4 HDMI ports, 2 USB ports, a LAN and an optical digital port. Enough for all your robust gaming, blu-ray, and video streaming devices. The sound on this TV is the best I have ever had in a TV. The sound follows around the room depending on what is happening on the TV. THe background noises, for example a car, will be stereo and helps to immerse you in whatever movie or TV show you might be enjoying. No need for a soundbar with this TV to help enhance the quality - it's great right out of the box. And just like anything, Samsung allows you to customize this for your trebles, mids and bass. The picture quality on this TV is amazing. The 4k quality is fantastic. Some TVs get grainy the close you get, even though claiming to be 4k quality. Not Samsung - sharp, crisp and clear all around, and from every angle. All in all, this is now my new favorite TV. I highly recommend this to anyone that wants a high quality, in both sound and picture, smart TV. Well done, Samsung! Please note: I received this product at a discounted rate in exchange for my honest opinion.

After not purchasing a tv in 11 years, I was intimidated by the “no instructions, no printed manual, & very few buttons on the remote control”. Following steps on the tv screen are confusing if you have not been exposed to apps. I am tech savvy enough to fake my way through most of it & pulled up written info on internet. Love the tv & the “smart” & being able to control most all functions w/my direct tv remote. Speakers not great but sufficed til I added Samsung sound bar. Super pleased w/purchase.

The Samsung Q80A is a mid-range QLED TV. It has Q90a above it and Samsung’s NEO TV’s that are the flagships this year. The TV is stylish, full of features, high brightness and the colors look amazing. The only noticeable issues where the black levels and local dimming (Backlight bleed, bloom and poor contrast). After doing some research I found out that this is all because Samsung went with a different type of panel this year. I would recommend this TV for bright rooms, all the issues will disappear in bright environments. It has HDMI 2.1 and FreeSync variable refresh rate (VRR) support making it a great game for gamers, especially if you have a new console. The great viewing angles add to the fact that this is a living room TV rather than a bedroom TV. I really love the stand, it helps with smaller TV furniture and has built in cable management. Like I said before, colors look amazing and upscaling is top notch. Even cable 1080p content looked very sharp and detailed like native 4k. Sound quality is above average but, like most TV’s, I would invest in a soundbar. Smart features is where Samsung shines, especially if you have a Samsung smart phone. The only downsize are the ads on the home page and app store. The new OS from this year runs very smooth and it is easy to use. The app store has all streaming services you can think of, and some you didn’t. I really love the integration with voice commands and Samsung Smartthings and Google Home. You can control your Samsung devices with your TV or see your cameras set up in Google Home on your TV. Streaming content from your Samsung phone is also easy and works very well, you can have your phone and a TV channel running side by side. The remote is great, especially because there are no more batteries to deal with, making it slimmer. This is done because it has a built in battery and solar panels to charge it. The layout is similar to past remotes so there is no learning curve if you had/have another Samsung TV. As a conclusion I would recommend this TV to anyone looking for a great living or family room TV. It plays well with current gen consoles because of HDMI 2.1 and VRR and the sound is above average. I still think it should have been cheaper considering it is not Samsung’s top range anymore, being replaced by the NEO QLED TV’s.

The tv is very good in theory but it came with a slight backlight problem in the upper left part that has worsened just a month after buying it. In addition to some small marks on the screen that are only seen in some positions. Now that the problem is more serious, I'm going to see what Bestbuy tells me.

The best TV I have ever owned! I feel like I’m actually part of whatever I’m watching!

Picked up the TV at Best Buy the next day it was confirmed, installed in about 15 minutes by myself, I like that it is made of high end materials, it's slim and all black plus all cables are hidden; set up was even faster with my Samsung phone, it connected to my WiFi and Samsung account automatically. Explored the apps, installed a few additional and started watching HBO, Showtime, Hulu, YouTube and Amazon; the image is very bright and clear, blacks are really deep, everything looks well defined like 4K even when the broadcasting resolution is less than that. I also casted my phone screen to the TV easily, watched a show while browsing my phone on the same screen. Sounds is pretty good, eventoo loud forthebedroom; the timer feature is very useful at night to turn the TV off and go to sleep. I like how it adapts the brightness of the screen to the room so it doesn't fade during the day or blind at night. The slim remote control has rechargeable batteries that charge via USB or ambient light. "I received this product at a discounted rate in exchange for my honest opinion"

A truly beautiful television, from its design and build quality to the gorgeous display, to its integration with other Samsung devices. A real win for Samsung. Delivery was on time , professional, and appropriately socially-distanced. Box was very sturdy, and the screen, along with its accessories were all packed very securely inside. I was easily able to position the set on a soft surface by myself, and to attach the sturdy middle-mount base by myself. There were just four screws, and I had it together within minutes. Though I was able to lift the set by myself to put it on the shelf, it would probably be better to have a helper for that step, and definitely if you're going to be wall-mounting. There are a few well-thought-out channels/grooves molded into the back of the set through which the power cord can be routed so it is flush/hidden entirely. The base of the stand also includes a plastic shroud that the wire can be routed through so it's completely hidden. The controller is deceptively simple in design, but incredibly functional. There are unobtrusive buttons for the most-popular streaming services, including Samsung TV Plus. It also has a built-in battery that recharges via -- get this-- ambient light. That's right, no more replacing batteries. The microphone button gives you one-touch access to any of the *three* digital voice assistants available on this TV ( Amazon's Alexa, Google Assistant, and Samsung's own Bixby). Oh...if you don't want to use the included controller, you can also perform all of these operations from your Samsung phone. Initial system updates were extremely quick over wifi, and I was able to connect my streaming accounts within a few minutes using the linking codes shown on the TV. Right after that, I was sampling gorgeous 4k video streams for the next couple hours. The wifi reception on this set seems really good. I have it located two rooms away from the router (that's four walls in between) and on youtube videos it would hold streams of 130+mbit/sec without any buffering or stuttering video. It is truly a joy. The blacks on this display are very inky, and the brightness is simultaneously impressive. I will be attaching my Xbox One X for some gaming tonight, and perhaps i'll update my review then. Did I mention there are FOUR hdmi ports, including a HDMI 2.1 port? This thing is future-proof, and I'm in love. Definitely recommend you pick one up.
