Our take on the Samsung 85" Neo QLED 4K QN85A

The Samsung QN85A is a 4K Neo QLED TV that uses mini-LED backlighting for brighter highlights and tighter contrast than Samsung's standard QLED sets. It runs Tizen with a full app selection, has HDMI 2.1 inputs for 4K at 120Hz gaming, and adds anti-glare coating for bright rooms. At 85 inches it is built for large living rooms and home theaters where a big, bright picture matters more than perfect black levels. Against OLED rivals it wins on brightness and resistance to burn-in, but loses some contrast and off-angle uniformity.

Questions and answers

Is the QN85A worth it over a standard QLED?

Yes if you want higher brightness and better contrast control. The mini-LED backlight is the main step up; standard QLED sets are dimmer and have coarser dimming.

How does it compare with OLED?

It gets brighter and has no burn-in risk, which suits bright rooms and sports. OLED still wins on black levels, contrast and viewing angles.

Is it good for gaming?

Yes. It has HDMI 2.1 inputs supporting 4K at 120Hz, low input lag and variable refresh rate for current consoles and PCs.

What is in the box?

The TV, its stand, a remote and the power cable. A wall mount is not included.

Does it support voice assistants?

Yes. It works with Samsung Bixby and Amazon Alexa, and the remote has a microphone for voice search.

How far should I sit from an 85-inch TV?

Around 8 to 12 feet works for mixed viewing. Closer seats show more detail with 4K sources but also more visible blooming.
