Does the QN50Q80D have local dimming?

No. It is an edge-lit QLED without local dimming, so contrast is weaker than Mini-LED sets like the QN90D.

Is it good for PS5 and Xbox Series X?

Yes. It has a 120Hz panel, VRR and eARC, so it can run 4K at 120fps with variable refresh on supported games.

The TV, its legs, a remote, a power cable and documentation. HDMI cables are not included.

Yes. It is VESA-mount compatible and weighs about 30 lb without the legs.

Does it support Dolby Vision?

No. Samsung TVs support HDR10+ and HLG but not Dolby Vision.

How does it compare with the Q80C?

The Q80D is the newer model with the same edge-lit QLED approach; gains are modest, so a discounted Q80C is worth considering.
