Is the Samsung Q8F good for gaming?

It handles console gaming at 4K, but the 60 Hz refresh rate caps smoothness. Gamers who want 120 Hz should look at a higher tier.

What is Quantum HDR+?

It is Samsung's HDR processing that expands contrast and brightness. It improves HDR content but is not the same as the Mini-LED dimming on Samsung's Neo QLED sets.

Does it have built-in Wi-Fi and streaming apps?

Yes. It has wireless LAN and the Tizen smart platform with the major streaming apps built in.

How does it compare with a Neo QLED?

Neo QLED uses Mini-LED backlighting for deeper blacks and higher brightness. The Q8F is a step below that, with standard quantum-dot LED backlighting.

Our take on the Samsung QN50Q8FAAF 50" Smart LED-LCD TV

The Samsung Q8F is a 50-inch 4K QLED smart TV with Quantum Dot LED backlighting and Quantum HDR+. It runs at a 60 Hz refresh rate, so it suits movies, streaming and everyday viewing more than fast gaming. Against rivals, its edge is Samsung's bright quantum-dot picture and Tizen smart platform; its limit is the 60 Hz panel, where many competing sets in this class offer 120 Hz for smoother motion.
