Samsung 2024 Q80D 4K Smart QLED UHD TV with HDR (85" QN85Q80DAFXZA

Product Overview:

A bright and colorful 4K picture

Samsung QLED TVs are synonymous with vibrant color thanks to their special Quantum Dot technology. This Q80D TV combines that rich Quantum Dot color with the excellent illumination of a FALD (full array with local dimming) backlight to deliver a 4K picture that pops, even in a bright room.

Smart processing

The Q80D's processor uses Artificial Intelligence to improve picture quality in several ways. The Real Depth Enhancer finds a scene's main subject and processes it to stand out from the background to improve the sense of depth. And Samsung's 4K AI Upscaling enhances standard-definition and HD video signals so they look their best on this Ultra HD display.

Stream movies, shows, and games
Samsung's Tizen OS has a user-friendly interface with access to a ton of streaming services, apps, and smart home integrations. As a cord-cutter who pays for eight different streaming services, I really appreciate that Samsung offers tons of free shows and movies on the included Samsung TV Plus. The Q80D also includes Samsung's Gaming Hub for easy, console-free gaming with a compatible controller.
