Finding the right TV can be a balancing act—especially if you want high-end features without venturing into OLED pricing. If you’re looking for a big-screen upgrade, the Samsung Q80D QLED might be worth a closer look. Now down to $1,286 on Amazon from $3,299.99, this 85-inch 4K TV comes loaded with a mix of premium picture quality and gaming features at a very competitive price.
The Q80D is one of Samsung’s most capable QLED models, featuring Direct Full Array backlighting for deep contrast, Quantum HDR+ for punchy colors, and a 120Hz refresh rate for smooth visuals. It’s powered by the NQ4 AI Gen2 processor, which makes it ideal for both movies and gaming.
Speaking of gaming, the Q80D supports 4K at 120Hz, has full VRR (Variable Refresh Rate) compatibility, and low input lag, making it a great option for PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X users. Four HDMI 2.1 ports should be more than enough for multiple gaming consoles, sound systems, and streaming devices.
For audio, Dolby Atmos is included, along with Object Tracking Sound Lite. The TV runs on Samsung’s Tizen OS, providing access to Netflix, Prime Video, Disney+, YouTube, and more, with built-in Alexa support for hands-free control.
Reviews from Rtings.com score the Q80D 7.9/10 for mixed usage. The upsides include excellent brightness, contrast, and reflection handling. However, some users definitely pointed out that the TV has limited viewing angles and minor uniformity issues in dark scenes.
Regardless, at this price point, the Q80D is one of the better QLED options for anyone looking for a big-screen experience with solid gaming, streaming, and home theater performance.
