Samsung 85" U8000H Crystal UHD 4K TV vs VIZIO Quantum 4K QLED VQD85R-10

The VIZIO VQD85R-10 is the better picture for the money: full-array LED backlight and Dolby Vision give it deeper blacks and more dynamic HDR than the Samsung U8000H, which is edge-lit with HDR10+ only. The Samsung wins on gaming and smarts: 120 Hz panel with VRR and ALLM, Tizen with Gaming Hub and TV Plus, and a brand with a long durability record. Buy the VIZIO for movie nights in a dark room; buy the Samsung if you game on the TV or want the smoother, better-supported platform.

  • Choose the Samsung U8000H if you play console games, want a 120 Hz panel with VRR and ALLM, or prefer Tizen and Samsung's free channel lineup.
  • Choose the VIZIO Quantum if you watch movies and shows in a dim room and want full-array local dimming with Dolby Vision.

Questions and answers

Which is better for gaming?
The Samsung. Its 120 Hz panel, VRR and ALLM cut motion blur and input lag, and Gaming Hub streams games without a console. The VIZIO is 60 Hz with no VRR.
Which has the better picture in a dark room?
The VIZIO. Full-array local dimming and Dolby Vision produce deeper blacks and brighter highlights. The Samsung is edge-lit with HDR10+ only.
Is the Samsung worth stepping up to over the VIZIO?
Only if gaming or the Tizen app library matters most to you. For movies, the VIZIO's backlight and Dolby Vision are the stronger package.
Which lasts longer?
Both are LED sets with similar panel life. Samsung markets itself as the top-rated TV brand for durability and has far more owner ratings on record; VIZIO's sample is much smaller.
Do both support Dolby Vision?
No. Only the VIZIO supports Dolby Vision. The Samsung handles HDR10+ and HDR10.
Which is better for a bright living room?
Both are bright QLED-class panels. The VIZIO's local dimming handles glare better; the Samsung's matte handling and 120 Hz motion help with sports.
