Our take on the Samsung QN85Q80AA 85" QLED 4K Smart TV
The Samsung QN85Q80A is an 85-inch QLED 4K smart TV from Samsung's 2021 Q80A series. It uses a full-array local dimming backlight with Samsung's Quantum Processor 4K for upscaling, plus Quantum HDR and a 120Hz native panel for smooth sports and gaming. It suits large living rooms and buyers who want a big-screen QLED with gaming features, though its edge-lit rivals in the same class can show less blooming and its anti-glare coating is weaker than Samsung's higher tiers.
- Full-array local dimming for deeper blacks than edge-lit sets
- 120Hz panel with HDMI 2.1 features for next-gen consoles
- Quantum Processor 4K upscaling sharpens HD content
- Tizen smart TV platform with a wide app selection
- Slim bezel and clean design for a big screen
What reviewers say

Questions and answers
- Is the QN85Q80A good for gaming?
- Yes. It has a 120Hz native panel, low input lag in Game Mode and HDMI 2.1 features such as 4K at 120Hz and VRR on one input. It is a good fit for PS5 and Xbox Series X.
- How does it compare with Samsung's Neo QLED models?
- Neo QLED sets use Mini LED backlights with many more dimming zones, so they control blooming better and get brighter. The Q80A costs less and still offers full-array dimming and 120Hz, but dark-scene halos are more visible.
- Does it have HDMI 2.1?
- Yes, but only one of its HDMI ports supports the full HDMI 2.1 feature set. Plan to connect your console there and route other devices to the remaining ports.
- Is 85 inches too big for a normal room?
- Samsung recommends roughly 6 to 7 feet of viewing distance for a screen this size for mixed use. In a smaller room it dominates the wall, and off-angle viewing is weaker, so a centered seating layout works best.
- What is in the box?
- The TV, its stand, a remote, the power cable and documentation. A wall mount and HDMI cables are not included.
- Does it support voice assistants?
- Yes. It works with Samsung Bixby and Amazon Alexa built in, and it supports AirPlay 2 and Samsung SmartThings for casting and control.
