Our take on the Samsung QN85Q70AA 4K 85" Smart QLED TV
The Samsung QN85Q70AA is an 85-inch 4K QLED smart TV from Samsung's 2021 Q70A line. It uses a Quantum Dot panel with a 120Hz native refresh rate, Quantum Processor 4K upscaling, and Motion Xcelerator Turbo+ for smooth sports and console gaming. It runs Tizen with built-in voice assistants and a slim, wall-mountable design. Against rivals it trades full-array local dimming for an edge-lit backlight, so it is a big-screen pick for bright rooms and mixed viewing rather than a dark-room cinephile set.

- 120Hz native panel with Motion Xcelerator Turbo+

What reviewers say
Owners of Samsung's Q70A series generally praise the bright QLED picture, smooth 120Hz motion and easy Tizen setup. Criticism centers on edge-lit backlighting, visible blooming in dark scenes and black levels that fall short of mini-LED and OLED rivals.
- Picture brightnessPraisedOwners like the bright, saturated QLED image, especially in daytime rooms.
- Black levelsCriticisedDark scenes show grayish blacks and blooming from the edge-lit backlight.
- MotionPraisedThe 120Hz panel keeps sports and games smooth with little blur.
Questions and answers
- Is the QN85Q70AA good for gaming?
- Yes. It has a 120Hz native panel, Motion Xcelerator Turbo+ and low input lag in Game Mode, which suits PS5 and Xbox Series X at 4K120.
- Does it have full-array local dimming?
- No. The Q70A uses an edge-lit backlight, so contrast and black uniformity are below Samsung's mini-LED QN90A and OLED sets.
- Is 85 inches too big for my room?
- Samsung recommends roughly 1.5 times the screen height as viewing distance, which puts an 85-inch set around 10 to 12 feet back for mixed viewing.
- Does it support HDMI 2.1?
- It has HDMI inputs including one with enhanced features for 4K120, but it lacks the full four-port HDMI 2.1 set found on higher Samsung models.
- What is in the box?
- The TV, stand, remote, power cable and documentation. A wall mount and HDMI cables are not included.
- How does it compare with the QN90A?
- The QN90A adds mini-LED full-array local dimming for deeper blacks and less blooming. The Q70A is brighter than entry-level sets but a step below for dark-room viewing.
