Is this TV good for gaming?

It handles casual gaming, but the 60Hz panel and lack of HDMI 2.1 features mean it is not built for high-frame-rate console play. Gamers after smooth 120Hz motion should look at Samsung's QLED models.

Does it have local dimming?

No. It uses a standard edge-lit LED backlight, so blacks are less deep than QLED or mini-LED sets. That matters most in a dark room.

How many HDMI ports does it have?

Three HDMI inputs, all limited to 60Hz. That is enough for a console, a streaming box and a soundbar, but not for several high-refresh devices.

What smart apps are included?

It runs Samsung's Tizen platform with the major streaming apps plus Samsung TV Plus, Samsung's free ad-supported channel service. Wi-Fi 5 and Ethernet are both supported.

Does it come with a wall mount?

No. It ships with basic feet only. A wall mount must be bought separately and matched to the 85-inch VESA pattern.

Is an 85-inch TV too big for a normal room?

Samsung recommends roughly 8 to 13 feet of viewing distance for an 85-inch 4K screen. In smaller rooms the size can feel overwhelming and panel flaws more obvious.

Our take on the Samsung 4K Crystal UHD Smart TV 85-inch

This is Samsung's entry-level 4K LED line at its largest size: a flat 85-inch Crystal UHD panel with HDR, a 60Hz refresh rate and the Tizen smart platform. The draw is sheer screen area for a bright living room, with three HDMI ports, Wi-Fi 5 and Samsung TV Plus built in. It lacks the local dimming, 120Hz panel and anti-glare coating of Samsung's QLED and Neo QLED sets, so contrast and motion are weaker than those step-up models. It suits buyers who want a big, simple 4K TV for movies, sports and streaming rather than gamers or dark-room cinephiles.

Cons

60Hz panel limits smoothness for fast games and sports
