Our take on the Samsung Q80A TV 75" QLED 2021 Smart 4K HDR Ultra
The Samsung Q80A is a 2021 75-inch QLED 4K smart TV with a full-array backlight and local dimming, a 120Hz panel and Samsung's Quantum Processor 4K. It sits below the Neo QLED QN85A and above the Q70A, so it adds real local dimming and better brightness over the step-down model while skipping the mini-LED backlight of the Neo line. It suits bright living rooms, sports and console gaming, where the anti-glare coating and four HDMI inputs help. Owners like the picture for the money but note blooming around bright objects and only average black levels for a dimming set.
- Full-array local dimming for deeper blacks than edge-lit sets
- 120Hz panel with HDMI 2.1 features for PS5 and Xbox Series X
- High brightness and effective anti-glare coating
- Four HDMI inputs, including one eARC
- Tizen smart platform with all major apps
What reviewers say
Reviewers rate the Q80A as a solid upper-mid QLED with strong brightness and gaming features, but they consistently flag blooming and weaker contrast than mini-LED or OLED sets. Owners praise the picture in bright rooms and the 120Hz gaming performance.
- BloomingCriticisedReviewers see halos around bright objects on dark backgrounds, a limit of its local dimming.
- BrightnessPraisedOwners find it bright enough for sunny rooms and say HDR highlights pop.
- GamingPraisedThe 120Hz panel and HDMI 2.1 features are called a good match for current consoles.
Questions and answers
- Is the Q80A good for PS5 and Xbox Series X?
- Yes. It has a 120Hz panel and one HDMI 2.1 port that supports 4K at 120Hz with variable refresh rate. You get one such port, so plan which console uses it.
- How does the Q80A compare with the Q70A?
- The Q80A adds full-array local dimming and a better anti-glare coating, so it handles dark scenes and bright rooms better. The Q70A is edge-lit and cheaper but shows more uniform-light compromises.
- How does it compare with the Neo QLED QN85A?
- The QN85A uses mini-LED backlighting with many more dimming zones, giving deeper blacks and less blooming. The Q80A is the step below and shows more halos around bright objects.
- Does the Q80A support Dolby Vision?
- No. Samsung TVs support HDR10, HDR10+ and HLG but not Dolby Vision. Dolby Vision content plays as HDR10 instead.
- What is in the box?
- The TV, a stand, a remote, a power cable and documentation. A wall mount and HDMI cables are not included.
- Is 75 inches too big for a normal room?
- At 75 inches it suits a viewing distance of roughly 9 to 12 feet. Closer than that, standard 4K content can look soft and the screen dominates the room.
