Our take on the Samsung R85H 55" 4K Micro RGB Smart TV

The Samsung R85H is a 55-inch 4K smart TV that uses Micro RGB LED backlighting, a step up from standard LED sets in brightness and color control. It runs Samsung's Tizen smart platform with Netflix, Prime Video, YouTube and Disney+, and works with Google Assistant and Alexa. Four HDMI ports, Wi-Fi, Ethernet and Bluetooth cover most setups. It suits buyers who want a bright, colorful 55-inch set for a living room or bedroom without stepping up to OLED.
