![]() In a bright room all of the TVs in my lineup were better at reducing the brightness of reflections to preserve the fidelity of the image. Unlike previous Samsung TVs I've tested the Q80T didn't excel at handling ambient light. I prefer Vizio and TCL's approach of a dedicated, accurate bright-room picture mode. Most other TVs don't show such dramatic fall-off, and none of the Q80T's other modes did either.įor the Accurate measurements in SDR I used the Natural picture mode in combination with the Warm color temperature setting (the default temperature for Natural is quite blue). Aside from being woefully inaccurate, it fluctuated quite a bit, starting out at over 1,200 nits but falling almost immediately to around 300. I've seen no evidence that one HDR format is inherently "better" than the other, so I definitely don't consider lack of Dolby Vision a deal-breaker on this TV - instead it's just one more factor to consider.ĭon't let the high score in Dynamic fool you. It lacks the Dolby Vision HDR support found on most competitors' HDR TVs. The set supports high dynamic range content in the HDR10 and the HDR10 Plus formats. The Q80T uses a true 120Hz panel, which improves the TVs' motion performance, but as usual the "Motion Rate 240" specification is made up (note that the 49- and 50-inch sizes are 60Hz/MR 120). ![]() ![]() The effect is better brightness and color compared to non-QD-equipped TVs. Like all of Samsung QLED TVs, as well as most higher-end TVs from Vizio and TCL, the Q80T's LCD panel is augmented by a layer of quantum dots - microscopic nanocrystals that glow a specific wavelength (i.e. ![]()
