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.

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 television is performing well right now, it was an open box item. It was easy to set-up and no issues with the picture or reception.

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!

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.

The picture quality of this TV is amazing! Samsung promise 100% Color Volume like in cinema with their Quantum HDR 12X and they deliver. Movies feel more real and alive, sport broadcasts are much more enjoyable on this screen compare to other high end TV's I used before. I have a very bright living room during the day and having problem with TV's that don't get bright enough but this TV is so bright that I can see every detail in the picture even during sunny day. Sound is also one of this model best feature - the TV knows to optimized the sound based on the environment and where I installed the TV. The TV deliver 3D audio with sound that tracks objects as they move on screen and make the watching experience more much enjoyable. One of the most valuable features for this TV it's smart capability, I set up the TV from my phone! it was so easy and quick, I can control my TV from my phone and via google assistant - I don't think I will ever use it's remote control again :) I recommend this TV if it's fit in your budget, absolutely worth the price.

This Samsung TV has to be the best user setup experience I have encountered. The interactive setup provides the user two options using a mobile device or a manual setup process. I chose the mobile device process, and the setup process was complete in a few clicks. Once I got through the setup, it was time to put this 4k display through some test. The 4k display is amazingly stunning, the colors are rich and vibrant, and the blacks are accurate and not washed out. The audio seems to adjust and redirect its sounds dynamically with the objects moving on the screen. The Ambient mode is a nice novelty feature. You can enable the screen to display a decor picture art display or feature any personal photos you may choose to have as a background when your TV is in standby mode. My wife especially likes this feature since we display our family portrait, and the TV is more like a portrait centerpiece than a TV on the wall. Overall we are very please with Samsungs latest QLED series TV. Read less
