Samsung - 65" Class Q80T Series QLED 4K UHD Smart Tizen TV

Incredibly vivid colors and a pretty decent sound but a good soundbar with woofer and satellite speakers completent the great cinematic experience. Smarter hub and redesigned slim remote are a definite plus. Another huge plus: new streaming apps like HBOMAX and DISNEY PLUS are just a few clicks away eliminating the need for a streaming media device saving you a couple of hundred dollars (Nvidia Shield is the only one who offers both platforms. Other TV brands do not have this advantage! Most importantly for us: we didn't want to hang our TV on our rare stone work above our fireplace and most models have at least a 12 inch footprint. Too big. This TV'S awesome stand in the center protrudes out the back at a low 35 degree angle profile making it possible to push the TV stand couple of inches in the console compartment above the mantle giving us a footprint width of about 11 inches. This allowed us to securely place our TV on the mantle and save our stone from possible install damage and TV position permanency. Overall great TV with a good, slim, clean rear surface. One thing Samsung has not tackled yet though is glare. Your living room lights reflect as prismatic linear lines on the screen and the only ones we found not affecting glare are the spot lights above the fireplace. After a while though we kind of block them out and Edison vintage brown glass light bulbs cut down some of the glare.

Very solid TV, and overall really happy with this purchase. We wanted this for a sometimes used living room TV. Something to watch with morning coffee or while cooking/baking in the open kitchen (no missing the Hawks games here!). Not our cinema room TV, so this was a budget friendly option. Picture quality is really good, and the size is big enough to adequately see the game from 25 feet away in the kitchen, yet doesn’t dominate the wall. Sound is average, nothing special, but I appreciate the downward pointing speakers instead of rear pointing speakers so the sound is clear enough. Might be worth looking into a soundbar later. It would be nice to have the option for voice commands, but the universal remote it uses is fine for what we need. I have yet to use a TV OS that I like and this is no exception. It’s not the worst, but it’s hardly intuitive and somewhat slow to respond. Minor complaints really, but should be considered. In the end this TV does exactly what we wanted it for and at a price that didn’t make me want to throw up. We’re very happy with this purchase and expect it to last a long time. P.S. Get a good wall mount that’s easy to install for it like the Full Motion Wall Mount and in wall cable management systems (sorry BB, Rocketfish is rubbish) https://www.amazon.com/ECHOGEAR-Articulating-Bracket-Patterns-Extension/dp/B00VMJEK2C It’ll look fantastic!

This tv is so sick!! I was going to shell out the $4,000 for the same thing but the 8k and read some reviews before purchasing that were claiming this tv was just as good if not better than the 8k version. Obviously I was a little skeptical but I got this one on sale for $1,800 Black Friday (less than half price of 8k) so I jumped in it and it was WELL WORTH IT!! The quality is incredible!

I search really hard to a tv that was affordable to me but also be a good gaming tv and great picture (without possible burn in). My previous tv was 5-7 years old (got during ps3 era), so transferring to the QLED 8T series was magically. And this is the first I have gotten a tv that didn’t require a 3rd party platform to stream tv. It is so much easier, save on energy (thus $$) running one device, and the streaming performance is 10x better (less interrruptions or errors I got from apps like funimation on PS4). So I am hands down happy that I purchased this. If I had more money, I would definitely buy another for my bedroom.

I bought a Samsung Q65 55” about 4-5 yrs ago. Wasn’t sure how well it would stand up to the Sony Bravia I replaced. Was such a great picture, I really only wanted a Samsung. Decision was go less expensive with a Q60 or Q70 or move to next level. I ended up with the Q80T after exhausting research. Best viewing angles, dark blacks and good dimming zones vs edge lit. Also, the previous model showed some reflection of lights or windows. Totally fine here. The test is putting on a 4K YouTube of an aquarium. The dynamic colors, contrast and clarity leave me feeling I have the best TV around. Also, I did pretty thorough cost check and Best Buy’s price was consistent with every where I looked across the board- or the price would match but competitor wasn’t selling 2020 model number. Very happy with purchase!!

Got my first big screen smart TV . Had it installed by the Geeks because there is antiglare coating on the screen that can come off as u peel off the plastic ! This is something I read about in my research ! Must be very careful removing screen plastic so I didn’t want to deal with this so I felt it worth it to have it installed so they can be responsible if something goes wrong! I have the TV on furniture the sound is fine . These TV’s are designed to be on something the sound comes out of the speakers and bounces off the furniture into the room . My husband is an engineer and sail if there is nothing under the TV then the sound projecting from the speakers has nowhere to go but down . Most people who decide to mount their TV should realize the sound from the tiny speakers inside the tv will not be as loud . I can reccomend installing a wall shelf under the tv so the sound bounces off the shelf into the room . Many people have purchased sound bars not knowing that the tv speakers need a surface for the sound waves to hit then bounce into the room so the audio is enjoyed without the addition of a sound bar. Of course sound bars are necessary but our room size is average and we sit close enough ( approx. 8-10.ft)

I did a lot of research before buying, and it paid off. My watching use cases are movies, sports, and YouTube, and often in a room that is well lit, but never blacked out. As such I wanted 4K QLED (instead of OLED, which is known to be excellent in black out conditions), with decent motion handling, good brightness (to account for ambient light in the room), and as minimal glare as possible. This tv has overachieved vs the expectations I had before buying in each of these departments. In particular, viewing angles are wider than I expected them to be. Definitely add a sound bar if you care about listening to what your watching. Go Bills!

love the picture quality of my 65” QLED 2020 Model. sharp vivid contrast as I prefer it. only downside is my Bose sound bar needed to be turned on/off by Bose remote control. volume control is integrated in smart remote. i spent more on this model than my previous 55” but it’s worth it.
