Roku Select Series 65" 4K QLED TV vs Samsung QN80F 65" 4K Smart TV

Buy the Roku Select Series if you want the simplest smart TV experience and a QLED panel at the entry end of 4K. Buy the Samsung QN80F if motion, contrast and gaming matter more: its 120 Hz panel and mini-LED backlight are a real step up in picture quality. The Roku wins on ease of use and owner satisfaction; the Samsung wins on hardware.

  • Choose the Roku Select Series if you mostly stream, want Roku OS and its voice remote, and do not need 120 Hz or deep blacks.
  • Choose the Samsung QN80F if you watch sports, play games or care about contrast, and want a brighter, faster panel.

Questions and answers

Which is better for gaming?
The Samsung QN80F. Its 120 Hz panel handles console output far better than the Roku's 60 Hz screen, which will blur fast motion.
Which has the better picture?
The Samsung. Mini-LED local dimming gives it deeper blacks and higher brightness than the Roku's edge-lit QLED panel.
Which is easier to use?
The Roku. Roku OS is simpler, and the voice remote plus free live TV on the home screen make it quicker for casual viewers.
Is the Samsung worth stepping up to?
Yes if you watch sports, game or have a bright room. If you mostly stream shows in a dim room, the Roku covers the basics.
Which lasts longer?
Neither brand publishes a lifespan figure. Both are LED-based sets with similar panel life; the Samsung's heavier build and dimming hardware are the sturdier design.
Do both support voice assistants?
Yes, but the Roku adds Siri alongside Google Assistant and Alexa. The Samsung supports Google Assistant and Alexa only.
