Percentage luminance drop at 20 degree vertical angle from the centre of the screen with 50% white output Power supply and consumption Information about the power supply and consumption, energy efficiency class, etc. 110V Samsung’s design approach is very consistent across its entire range, but it often means models look indistinguishable from one another.
Max light output HDR (high dynamic range) while displaying a live scene and white square taking up 10% of the screen (measured in Nits) Connectivity is excellent, too, with four HDMIs that offer advanced and varying specifications. There’s 4K at 120fps support on HDMI 4, and eARC on input 3.
Updated to Test Bench 1.7 with an updated HDR Brightness test that better reflects real world usage. We've also split the console compatibility boxes into separate PS5 Compatibility and Xbox Series X|S Compatibility tests. You can see our full changelog here.
We tend to recommend a soundbar to go with a TV and the Q80T offers a compelling reason why you should with its OTS system. Married with a compatible Samsung Q-Symphony soundbar and they’ll sync together to create a bigger, broader and better-defined soundstage. You shouldn’t buy the Samsung Q80T if… The good news? Samsung now allows dynamic tone mapping to be disabled for more strictly accurate reproduction of HDR material. If you switch the Q80T’s ‘Local Dimming’ setting from ‘Standard’ (the default) to ‘High’, it will disable dynamic tone mapping, thus preserving more detail within, especially bright areas on-screen. This wasn’t even an option on the Q70R, where dynamic tone mapping was active at all times. If you’re as obsessed with accuracy as us, this is a most welcome addition. Samsung Q80T review: Gaming Infuriatingly, though, there’s no support for Dolby Vision. Samsung maintains it doesn’t need it, although its reticence to embrace what is a universal dynamic metadata standard appears more political than practical. Size class of the display as declared by the manufacturer. Often this is the rounded value of the actual size of the diagonal in inches.Information about the number of pixels on the horizontal and vertical side of the screen. A higher resolution allows the display of a more detailed and of higher quality image. Quantum HDR, Dual LED, Supreme UHD Dimming, Motion Xcelerator, Super UltraWide Game View, Game Motion Plus The Q80T also combines a neutral colour temperature with the ability to produce real vibrancy, and that’s strikingly effective with this film and its broadly cool palette. The abundant greys are just as miserable and washed out as they should be, but the flashes of colour – Sapper Morton’s shiny red gloves, the holographic billboards of central LA, the flashing lights of K’s flying car – all punch through the murky gloom beautifully.
Experience dynamic, lifelike audio that follows the action around the screen. Listen for every frightened gasp or the roar of the crowd as it travels across the pitch. You'll enjoy 3D surround sound that pulls you into every moment thanks to 6 dedicated speakers – including up-firing speakers – embedded into your TV – and all without a soundbar. Information about the maximum vertical viewing angle, within which the image on the screen is of acceptable quality. Rounding things out are two USB ports, digital optical audio out, Ethernet to support Wi-Fi and Bluetooth, and a Common Interface slot, for all those territories which require one. You almost certainly won’t need everything on offer, but it’s nice to have them in reserve.Score big with ultra-smooth gameplay and game-changing detail that maximises your next-gen console's capabilities.
Information about the maximum horizontal viewing angle, within which the image on the screen is of acceptable quality. Max light output HDR (high dynamic range) while displaying small white square taking up 60% of the screen (measured in Nits) Of course, while the Q80T sounds good for a TV, particularly one at this level, it can only do so much, and a picture performance as good as this should really be partnered with a capable soundbar at least. You’ll get benefits across the board, but dynamics will be particularly improved. Verdict Ergonomics Information about the ergonomic functions - height adjustment, swivel angles, tilt angles, etc. VESA mount What Samsung calls AirSlim, the Q70A has a depth of just 27mm and a bezel that measures just 12mm. It’s almost all-screen, making it perfect for popping on the wall, but if wall-mounting isn’t an option it also comes with a perfectly functional centre-mounted stand that allows it to be positioned pretty much anywhere, so there’s ample flexibility on that score.This range covers most commercially produced HDR content, and presents bright highlights that add sparkle and depth to images. Information about whether there is a possibility for wall mounting according to the VESA Mounting Interface Standard (MIS). Dimensions, weight and color Information about the dimensions and the weight of the specific model with and without stand as well as the colors, in which it is offered to the market. Width When it comes to picture quality, it’s worth noting the Q80T’s specs are an upgrade on the 2019 Q70R rather than a direct replacement for the Q80R – although just to confuse matters, the performance is closer to the Q85R.
