I bought Q80T in the summer, so far love it. I think what he says in the video is 100% true, I won’t say it is the best picture quality out there (if you want to picture quality, go with OLED). But, what I went for is the size (75 inch +), price ( sub $25K) and reliability (no burn in). LG OLED B series has the size and price combination, but I know the burn in will bother me. My family members are not really careful on appliances. I can go to bed and wake up find TV is on all night. I don’t want to take the risk of burn in on my $25k TV. So, Q80T is really the best option out there.
The Gaming HDMI or 2.1, is really the down side. Samsung only gives you 1 port, this is unbelievable. I fund out it when I bought it back. So, if you plan for multiple next gen consoles, you may want to wait for a year or 2.

While Tizen´s low hierarchy menu system makes up for some of the sore deficiencies of the remote, in comparison to the 2014 (!!!) HU-series gyro-based or the LG Magic remote this one is **absolutely positively BS**.
Because of the lack of essential buttons you have to go through some menu for anything but the most common tasks.

Does this model have any issues in terms of performance and picture quality when playing 120fps games on PS5? And is it better performance and better bandwidth to leave game mode on or off when gaming on PS5?

Samsung neutered their QLED line every year. The Q80T is basically the Q70R from last year
Robert Vanden Berg
November 24, 2020 at 9:53 pm
A good review except for the omission of the Q80T having a wide angle view. This differentiator could be important to some viewers.

Hisense>Samsung Why? you can no longer stream movies from certain
websites on 2019+ Samsung Smart TV’s. Total deal-breaker, In addition,
Movies in MKV not native playable from a flash thumb drive “Are you
kidding me” my kids Walmart $250 Hisense Roku can!!!!!
ChiHighRecords
November 26, 2020 at 5:22 pm
I upgrade from a hisense H8 never going back after getting q80t, processors in Hisense slow so you get a clunky menu or UI.

November 27, 2020 at 7:10 pm
@ChiHighRecords Please educate me why you need a fast Processor other than frame rate the Blueray picture comes out fine. now a larger problem is trying to stream a movie and Samsung has infringed on my right to see whatever the heck I want and whatever websites I want. and No flash Support for certain File formats, This is unexcusable! I have 2 maxed out Imacs do NOT NEED MY TV to have a FAST PROCESSOR IT IS A MONITOR NOT RENDERING A 3D MOVIE!!

Overall 950h BUT the Q80T would be better for gaming (HMDI2.1, lower input lag, response times etc.)

Hi between Sony X900H and Samsung Q80T which one would you choose and why?
Жоро Спасов
November 28, 2020 at 12:13 am
Q80! Better quality. But if you play games choose Sony because theus Game mode is better.

@Mike A I heard they removed the antiglare from the Q80T unfortunately. Just found out today. Apparently Samsung’s 2020 lineup is a dumbed down version of their 2019 lineup

@soiceyboy33 oh cool

November 30, 2020 at 5:08 am
@Mike A you got the best bargain with the q80r. Wish I could have purchased it last year… to get the same antiglare feature, you now have to purchase the Q800T which is over $1000 more than a Q80r

Is the q80t better value than the q90t?
All River
November 27, 2020 at 6:33 pm
BOTH OF THEM NEED TO CALIBRATED IMAGE INSTEAD TO GET THE BEST QUALITY IN COLORS AND BRIGHTENESS. Dont buy it. The same with the q70t.

“A price thats not out of this world..” lol come buy it in Australia
moist_nana
November 28, 2020 at 9:41 am
Actually pretty well priced in Aus, 2.5k for the 65″ and 2.9k for the 75″
greenFinger225
November 28, 2020 at 9:59 am
@moist_nana it was 2.9k at most places until black friday. And even at 2.5k its overpriced in my opinion. Ive seen cheaper hisense tvs that look a lot better in visual quality than the q80T. Just my 2cents..
moist_nana
November 28, 2020 at 10:30 am
@greenFinger225 I guess it depends what you want it for, personally I haven’t heard great things about Hisense and even there top models aren’t recommended against the LGs, Samsungs, Sonys, etc. At a similar price.
2k is kind of the bare minimum for a good TV, you MIGHT be able to find a good 55″ for slightly less.
moist_nana
November 28, 2020 at 10:34 am
@greenFinger225 I’m not advocating for Samsung or anything, I actually think this TVs garbage but Samsungs prices in Aus do hold up internationally, other brands like LG do not, different supply and demand = we have to pay up to 5k for an OLED -_-
greenFinger225
November 28, 2020 at 10:58 am
@moist_nana i see what you mean. Yes an OLED would be great to have and the prices are ridiculous.

Expensive poc tv. Need to be calibrated to get the best image. DONT BUY IT !!!
best buy charge $250.00 just to calibrate the image in this tv.
MySpankster
November 28, 2020 at 5:30 am
@All River they come to your home and hook up the computer to it and calibrate it according to your surroundings a room…….had that done with my last tv….made a huge difference,,,,,its not bs
All River
November 28, 2020 at 5:36 am
@MySpankster the price is bs. Why did not come ready from factory ?
MySpankster
November 28, 2020 at 5:43 am
@All River ohh ok no worries….most tvs are set at factory calibration settings…..usually a tv will need to be tweeked depending on the brightness and darkness of a room that its going into….at least thats what i was told….makes sense i think…hope its right…lol
All River
November 28, 2020 at 7:19 am
@MySpankster did you pay 250 ?
MySpankster
November 28, 2020 at 7:47 am
@All River nope was part of the deal….hope it is on my next one too

November 28, 2020 at 3:30 am
I just bought the 50-inch because I could not resist the price. The $1100 TV was on sale for $847.99. I also had an $80 gift cert that I applied, so I paid $767.99, before taxes, for an $1100 TV. I know the Sony X950H is probably a little better quality, although it has blooming issues, but I wasn’t ready to pay close to $1000 for a TV. There just isn’t that much difference in picture quality.
MySpankster
November 28, 2020 at 4:05 am
i currently have the samsung UN75H7150 LED 240Hz 3D smart TV….is it worth the jump to the Q80T or the Q90T ?….thx good review
HakoGS 1905
November 30, 2020 at 4:54 am
I bought this tv but I regret it because before this one I had a Samsung UE46D7000 Full HD from 2011 and it had a much better picture quality than these new TVs. I don’t know what happened in those 9 years but older tvs especially from 2010-2011 had much better quality. I noticed that that the picture of the q80t is a bit yellowish even after i tried different settings and another thing that annoys me are the corners of the screen which are lightly darker than the rest of the picture.
Maybe you better look after the q90t, I heard that it has a much better picture quality than the q80t but nothing can beat those good old Full HD tvs.

November 30, 2020 at 6:27 am
@HakoGS 1905 ya i am gonna try and go with the Q90T

Why can’t Samsung use Android like everyone else ? Tizen is junk. Android can run Firefox, VLC and Kodi. Tizen can’t.

Tizen is a way better tv interface. Android Os for tv is sluggish everywhere unless you got an Nvidia Shield.

November 28, 2020 at 9:40 am
Well the Q80T is absolutely horrible for the PS5/XSX, really bad inverse ghosting in Game Mode, also really bad uniformity and Dirty Screen Effect when watching kids cartoons/Sports etc.

I just got my 55” Q80T this weekend. It’s my first Smart TV and my first TV since my 2008 Insignia 42” 1080p — which still works btw. I have been geeking out all weekend and I absolutely love this TV. In the words of my favorite YT review, it’s “future proof.”
