Most True-To -Life Picture Image Ever!
By MBx_ProReviewer on Reviewed in the United States on March 19, 2020
I rarely give 5 stars. However, this Q80, 75 inch Samsung 4K UHD TV deserves it. I'm a hobbyist when it comes to tech and TV. Back in 2014, I purchased my first Sony 65 inch 4K TV for $2,900. I had to have it, therefore I didnt wait for prices to drop. That Sony Bravia 4K still function great in our master bedroom. It is 7 years old and lacks HDR and many other features. However, watching 4K content gave an amazing picture image back then and still today. Going from 1080p to 4K made a huge difference. I could not believe how real it all looked. Now, I have upgraded to this Q80 QLED 75 INCH Samsung. I am very impressed. I didnt think my Sony image could be beat because of how real things looked. But, Stupid me...with HDR and Dolby and Quantum dot technology I should have known. I just watched my first streamed 4K UHD native 4k movie and I cannot believe my eyes. Not only is the picture image true-to-life, but it pops out at you. My wife staired at the TV and then described the.image as nearly 3D. I agree, the colors are so vivid and bright and real that it's like you are there. Or, you are looking through a window at a real love scene. With millions of various colors used, this Q80 is able to reproduce a scene that was captured on a 4K resolution camera system. *Note- this is important information. I learned long ago that you will be disappointed in your expensive, amazing 4K Ultra High Definitikn television if you are NOT aware of the specific content you are watching. By this I mean that watching a 2k resolution filmed movies which is then UPSCALED TO 4k.....is absolutely NOT the same as watching a 4K-resolution camera filmed movie or tv show. Much content is still produced using 2K cameras. It all comes down to the camera resolution. Therefore, if you are disappointed in the realness or quality of a supposed "4K upscaled" movie on your new 4K tv...it.mkght be because it is not REAL or NATIVE 4k content. You can research online to see what kind of camera system was used to produce this movie or that TV show. Know what your watching because there is a huge difference. A real, native 4K resolution camera system made movie on this QLED (Q80- SSUNG) will blow your mind! It looks so real that it's like you are there. Or, the actors are in your family room. I am not kidding or exaggerating. These QLED tvs are the best of the best. How real they look makes for a much greater tv watching experience. You can see the water droplets in a water full scene. You can see grains of sand on the beach. You can see skin pores and fine wrinkles on an actors face. Its unbelievable. I went back and forth on QLED vs. OLED. I know all the differences. Perhaps, OLED is slightly better picture overall than QLED. I mean...maybe. but at this point, I believe it's more personal preferences and ones own vision. Real is real. If a picture looks dead-on true to life and real while I watch it.in a QLED, then why in God's country would I pay an extra $2,000 to upgrade to a Sony OLED 75 inch 4K tv? Makes no sense. I'm super happy with this Q80. The Q90 didnt seem like it was that much better for another $1,000+. Wasnt worth it to me. So, you can't go wrong with this Q80 Samsung and it's a reasonable price for what they give you in quality true to life picture image. Smart features work just fine. I won't nit.pick over the minor details like some other do in reviews because I believe reviews are extremely biased and personal. One man hates the color black and another man loves it. Therefore, their reviews will be slanted one way or another be cause of personal preferences. How does that help us, the consumer? So, I read reviews to gainer factual information orator red flags on products. The reviews for this Q80 Samsung were spot on. What most people said, turned out to be very true and accurate. It's worth the price. By the way, I took a major risk for the first time and bought this Q80 refurbished or whatever they call it now. However, it was brand new. In original box, all parts and accessories. It works like its brand new because it is brand new. It.only had the box opened. In turn, I was able to save nearly $500 by buying this TV. I'm glad I did.

DOA
By russell henderson on Reviewed in the United States on June 25, 2019
TV arrived on time and was delivered and setup on time without issues. TV came on with local channels displayed and I dismissed the installers with their job done. I went through the setup procedure on my iPhone and connected a Directv HDMI input, a Samsung 4K DVR, Roku receiver, an optical output to my AV Receiver, a wired internet connection, and an outside antenna connection. Note that before the installers left, the antenna connection and thus broadcast TV was working. Then things begin to go downhill fast. The TV recognized the Roku device at first but then did not recognize the DVR or the Directv. Within an hour the TV did not recognize any connections to it. One by one all the connections failed. The Roku connection and the outside antenna were the last to go. Interesting the A/C power to the TV continued to work. I was able to establish a wireless internet connection. I contacted Samsung. At first they thought it could be the cable between the control box and the TV and that they would send me out a new cable that I could install. The new cable would come within 10 DAYS?? and we would see if that worked, if that did not work they would dispatch a tech. While talking to the tech at Samsung, he suggested that I unplug the cable from the TV and put it back in. When I put a little pressure on the plug at the TV, not the control box, I realized that it would not come out easily and then the tech came back and told me that this cable was screwed in and it would not be a cable that I could install. (he did not seem to know this at first). He then set up a service call and that someone would call me within 3 days to set up a time when they could come out to install the cable. Because somethings were working at the start and the power which also comes though the same cable was working , I think it is the control box and not the cable. I did not want to wait 10 days only to find out that it was not the cable. I cancelled the order for the TV. Amazon was great. They had no problems with having the TV picked up and I have ordered a Sony. One PS's. Because I was able to get a wireless connection I was able to watch some TV. After a few adjustments the picture was great but that does not excuse a $6,000 TV being DOA and having to wait 10 days just to find out what might fix the problem. This is my last Samsung product.
