Our take on the Samsung Smart TV 55" QLED 4K Q80A
The Samsung Q80A is a 55-inch 4K QLED TV from Samsung's 2021 lineup. It uses a full-array local dimming backlight with quantum dots, so it gets brighter and shows deeper blacks than edge-lit QLED sets below it. It suits people who want a bright living-room TV for sports, streaming and gaming without stepping up to the Mini-LED QN90A. Reviewers rate it highly, though some note blooming around bright objects and only two HDMI 2.1 ports.
- Full-array local dimming for deeper blacks than edge-lit QLEDs
- High brightness holds up in a lit room
- 4K at 120Hz with HDMI 2.1 for current consoles
- Wide viewing angles from the anti-glare screen
- Tizen smart platform with all major apps
- Visible blooming around bright objects on dark scenes

Questions and answers

- Yes, on two of its HDMI ports. Plug the PS5 or Xbox Series X into one of those for 4K 120Hz.
- Does it have Dolby Vision?
