Our take on the Samsung QLED 4K TV with HW-S801D Soundbar and Subwoofer

A 65-inch Samsung QLED 4K TV bundled with the HW-S801D soundbar and its wireless subwoofer. The TV brings quantum-dot color, HDR, four HDMI ports and Alexa built in; the soundbar adds a 3.1.2-channel Dolby Atmos setup with up-firing drivers that the TV's own speakers cannot match. It suits buyers who want one purchase covering both picture and sound, and the bundle undercuts buying a comparable TV and soundbar separately. Against rivals, the QLED panel is bright and colorful but sits below Samsung's Neo QLED mini-LED sets in contrast and black level.

What reviewers say

Owners of this Samsung QLED and S801D pairing generally praise the bright picture and the big step up in sound over built-in TV speakers. Criticism centers on black-level uniformity in dark rooms and on the soundbar's limited surround without rear speakers.

Questions and answers

Is the soundbar worth having over the TV's own speakers?

Yes. The HW-S801D adds up-firing Atmos drivers and a wireless subwoofer, which the TV's built-in speakers cannot match for bass or dialogue clarity.

Does this TV support Dolby Vision?

No. It supports HDR10 and HDR10+ but not Dolby Vision, so Dolby Vision content plays in a fallback format.

How many devices can I connect?

Four HDMI ports, plus USB, Ethernet, Wi-Fi and Bluetooth. That covers a console, a streaming box and a couple of other sources.

Can I add rear speakers to the soundbar later?

The S801D is a standalone bar; Samsung's separate rear-speaker kit is not part of this bundle, so surround stays front-focused.

Is 65 inches right for my room?

For seating about 8 to 10 feet away, 65 inches is a common fit. Closer seating makes the panel feel large; farther back favors a bigger screen.

Does it work with Alexa?

Yes, Alexa is built in, so you can use voice commands for apps, inputs and smart-home devices without an extra speaker.
