Our take on the Samsung QN85QNX1D
The QN85QNX1D is Samsung's 85-inch Neo QLED 4K TV, using mini-LED backlighting for high brightness and strong HDR highlights. It runs Tizen with AirPlay, Miracast and SmartThings, and supports Dolby Atmos, VRR and eARC for gaming and soundbars. It is a big-screen set for bright living rooms and movie nights, but it lacks local dimming, so black levels and contrast trail Mini LED rivals that dim in zones. Reviewers of the QN85 line praise brightness and color; the missing dimming and Wi-Fi 5 are the usual gripes at this size.
- Bright Neo QLED panel handles daylight well
- 85-inch screen gives a big cinematic picture
- VRR and eARC suit consoles and soundbars
- Dolby Atmos and multichannel speakers built in
- Tizen with AirPlay, Miracast and SmartThings

Questions and answers
- Does the QN85QNX1D have local dimming?
- No. It uses a mini-LED backlight without local dimming, so blacks are less deep than on sets that dim in zones.
- Is it good for gaming?
- Yes. It supports VRR and eARC, which help with consoles and soundbars, though it does not support HFR.
- What smart platforms does it support?
- It runs Tizen and works with AirPlay, Miracast, Amazon Alexa, Google Home and Samsung SmartThings.
- Can I mount it on a wall?
- Yes. It is VESA-mount compatible, but at about 94 lb without legs it needs a heavy-duty mount and two people.
- Does it support Dolby Atmos?
- Yes. It decodes Dolby Atmos and has built-in multichannel speakers, though a soundbar gives better surround.
