In the Samsung 2021 lineup, the model belongs to the mid-range TVs. Above it, NEO QLED solutions with mini LED backlight, such as QE-55QN87A, are listed. Below are the younger representatives of QLED and LED models, like the UE-55AU9070.
Stylish and comfortable
The Samsung QE-55Q80A is notable for its slim bezels and rectangular centre stand. And the interior Ambient Mode + is ready to become an additional decoration. Instead of a blank screen, it can show a beautiful landscape or useful informational content.
The role of Smart TV is traditionally assigned to OC Tizen. In 2021, it has become even faster, smoother and more stable. An additional bonus is the AirPlay 2 function, which allows you to broadcast content from Apple devices to the TV screen. For control, a remote control with a microphone for voice control or “dialogue” with assistants (proprietary Bixby, Alexa or Google Assistant) is proposed. By the way, the remote control does not need batteries: it has a built-in battery that is powered by the sun or charged via a USB-C connector.
For a large company and HDR content
The 55-inch 4K Samsung QE-55Q80A screen is based on a QLED matrix with Direct Full Array backlighting, and its main features are a large margin of brightness and close to the reference colour gamut. Therefore, an exceptionally pleasant viewing experience is ensured both in a well-lit room and when playing HDR content (HDR10+ standard is supported).
The TV will also please with wide viewing angles: when deviating from the centre of the screen, the image remains bright and saturated with colours. The shortcomings of the picture include not the most convincing contrast (against the background of top-end analogs) and the need for manual settings to improve colour accuracy.
Acoustic and gaming inclinations
The model has a cool (by the standards of its class) speaker system. It is represented by high-frequency speakers and a subwoofer with a total power of 60 watts. They provide not just loud, but well-balanced sound.
Almost perfect Samsung QE-55Q80A is suitable for games. A 120-Hz matrix is responsible for the smoothness of the picture, in which FreeSync Premium Pro technology helps, designed to get rid of blurs and other artifacts. In addition, low input lag is guaranteed in game mode, and an HDMI 2.1 connector is offered to provide 4K 120 fps bandwidth.
The Samsung QE-55Q80A is a good choice for a variety of use cases.
