Samsung QN85A QLED Review (QN55QN85AAFXZA, QN65QN85AAFXZA, QN75QN85AAFXZA, QN85QN85AAFXZA)

The Samsung QN85A QLED is part of Samsung's Neo QLED series of TVs, which are a step up from regular QLEDs because they use Mini LED backlighting. The 55, 65, an...

Bright enough to overcome glare. Displays chroma 4:4:4 properly for clear text. Completely judder-free from all sources. Very good viewing angle. Superb reflection handling. Exceptional low input lag. Fantastic peak brightness in HDR, small highlights...

Low native contrast that causes blooming in dark scenes. Doesn't support Dolby Vision. Some distracting dirty screen effect. Mediocre black uniformity. Only 1 port with HDMI 2.1 bandwidth. Backlight isn't flicker-free.

The Samsung QN85A is great for mixed usage. It performs very well in bright settings, thanks to its high brightness and superb reflection handling. It delivers a good viewing experience in dark rooms, but it has a low native contrast ratio, and there's...

Samsung QE55QN85A Review: Mini LED, big fun | Trusted Reviews

Samsung has (slightly) democratised its ‘Neo QLED' technology by lowering the asking price with little discernible effect on performance

Vivid, naturalistic 4K image quality ; Slim and elegant ; Predictably outstanding smart TV interface

No Dolby Vision ; Very occasional motion-handling travails ; Sound isn’t anything special

Samsung QN85A review (55QN85A): a QLED 4K TV with elite image quality for a realistic price

The Samsung QN85A uses Mini-LED tech to up its image quality majorly, yet manages to keep a realistic price

Vibrant, subtle 4K picture quality ; Great smart TV system ; Winningly slim chassis

No Dolby Vision ; Ineffectual sound ; Some mild motion-handling issues

The Samsung QN85A brings Mini-LED tech to a real-world price with very few compromises. There are small issues with it, but the sheer image quality you're getting for the price totally wins me over. The super-sleek design and class-leading smart TV...

Samsung QN85A Neo QLED 4K TV review

The compromises Samsung has made to ensure its MiniLED technology is a more affordable proposition are hardly visible, and the QN85A is a very accomplished television.

Bright, colorful images Useful for next-gen gamers Great smart TV interface

Sound is nothing special No Dolby Vision Upscaling aggravation

Samsung’s first foray into Mini LED is a resounding success, with this Neo QLED TV delivering blacks that give OLED a run for its money, and highlights that are free from blooming. A stylish design and comprehensive feature-set make for an impressive...
