This review sold me on it. Going to try and get it this month. I have a 4K 55” tcl android TV. It has terrible ghosting. Makes playing Resident Evil: Village a headache.
i bought 55q70a 7 months ago. when i first got it , it had little software issues. youtube icon in the menu was not working from time to time. i called samsung call center , they told me to plug out power cable and hold onto power button for 30 seconds. Anyways it didn't solve my problem, after some time the tv got 3 more updates now everything is okey. My personel opinion is that software update on these TV's make huge difference , since image processing, picture quality and many other things uses artificial intelligence.
Picked up a Samsung Q70A for $800uds refurbished. Got the MicroCenter 2 year warranty for an extra $100usd. Bought the Q80A for the same price the year before. Both are 75 inches. Very pleased with both TVs. So much so i bought a Q80A 65 inch for $650usd refurbished, as well. I had an old Samsung (10 years old) and thought it had a nice picture. But, after retiring it to the guest bedroom with a blue like running vertically through it, I can say that I am amazed at the huge gain in picture quality. Hope they last as long as my old Samsung. P.S. I agree, the sound quality is terrible. But, nothing a 2.1 Klipsch computer speaker system can not rectify.
How about a test lab in germany for the special models we get in Europe? Also you could test Panasonic TVs / Philips TVs. I would happily apply for that. :)
Turning off the Power Saving Mode on this Unit will enhance your viewing pleasure drastically. It's factory set to on, which is not allowing the QLEDs to operate at full brightness, turning off and enjoy, so you actually can turn off tge auto dimming.
Q70A nice option for a lower cost TV. Especially once it goes on sale. But I can't believe Samsung used IPS for Q80A and QN85A. Contrast that bad for that price is terrible. Only should ever buy those unless it's a bright sun room with several windows.
just bought a q70a today. replacing a q70r that had local dimming. I think I'll notice the difference, but notbhavinfbthe whole screen dim when a small bright spot is around will be nice.
A few places online in the UK are currently selling these for good prices as they've been replaced with the Q70B. I'm upgrading from a 9 year old 55" Sony to this in a 75" so I should see a big difference.
Without knowing what TV you had and how it stacks up performance wise, it’s hard to say for sure. But in theory, this TV *should* be a noticeable upgrade. It also just depends on your viewing environment and what you’re hoping to get from it!
Which one would you recommend? Q60A, Q70A or Q80A? I'm really struggling deciding... The focus is for PS5 gaming, but I'm doubting that the PS5 will have a lot of 120 fps games.
Overall, we give the slight edge for gaming to the Samsung Q70A. www.rtings.com/tv/tools/compare/samsung-q70-q70a-qled-vs-samsung-q80-q80a-qled/21556/21559?usage=10&threshold=0.10#main-diff
Australian purchase for $1900 Good guys in June. Bought the 55 inch for my family room and kept my Samsung 2010 58inch 1080p 3d plasma in the lounge room. The plasma is better for handling fast moving sport and the sound quality is much better. The Q70A sound is garbage compared to the old plasma. Lucky I have a Samsung Blu Ray sound system to make up for it. Buy a sound bar.
I have the same plasma and I'm wondering to replace it with Q70A , is it good enough for Antenna TV shows and Football Games and movies comparing to old plasma ?
@rtings thankyou for the review, can you tell me if Q95T/Q90T 65 inch is costing me 1650€ and 65 inch Q70A is costing me 1350 which one should I buy in 2022. Thanks in advance 65 LG C1 is costing me 2200€ not going for that.

@@RTINGSdotcom Thankyou for responding, yes does it worth extra 300€? Rating on ratings for Q90T is 8.8 and Q70a has 7.5 which is very impressive. I needed for cable, internet, movies use. Sometimes gaming. Tbh I want a good Color TV which looks impressive when content runs.
So no body talks about lack of USB3.0, what is the reason for that? Audio-Visual illiterate like me, would want to connect my HDD3.0 into the TV USB Port Directly.

Hello I am from Italy I like a lot your reviews!!! I bought last week a q60t 55 inch and I have a question... in sdr movie mode out of the box I must use gamma 2.2 or bt.1886 ? And why?? Thanks for answer!
Their tvs are getting worse every year. I have a 2018 q6fn and it performs comparable or better than most of their newer ones released since then, apart from flagships obviously
Very true q6fn was the best budget tv to date.. i got it in the lounge rm.. to be honest its nearly as good as my q95t.. samsung have seriously gone downhill since 2018
I’m not an expert but please can you explain to me the following: Q70A has Native Contrast 7,398: 1, Sony X90J with local dimming has 6,221: 1. So base on that your conclusion for movies assessment is that Sony gives a better contrast ratio caused by local dimming and you give a better assessment on it. I can accept other arguments like “Upscaling” and “Removes judder from all sources”.
Hey Jivko! If you're ever unsure about why a score is the way it is, you can compare the results here: www.rtings.com/tv/tools/compare/samsung-q70-q70a-qled-vs-sony-x90j/21556/21562?usage=6&threshold=0.05 In this specific case, the Q70A takes a hit because of the lack of a local dimming feature which amounts to 20% of our Movie score.

For gaming with the next-gen consoles, we give the edge to the Samsung Q70A because it supports all of the next-gen features that the Sony TV doesn't. Also, the Q70A has much better input lag as well.

So I’m deciding btwn the q80t (2020) & q70a (2021). I believe these r the correct release dates??? I”m looking into the 75” version over the 65” i currently have now & will be around 10-12’ feet away on my couch & on a console stand (not wall mounted). I’m only concerned because i believe the q70a was released after the q80t but confused since the 80 should be an upgrade from the 70 i would think!? I do game with the latest xbox console & i believe they both have 120hz. I would love the Neo but those r out of my price range even though i could get the 65” version but rather go big! However the Q’s r a step above the UHD’s. They’re priced very close so would love any input & advice. I also watch a lot of live sports if that helps. I also go w the Samsungs over the LG OLED since most of my surroundings r on the brighter side. Thanks in advance since I’m looking to purchase asap. Thanks again!!!
The Samsung Q80T is a bit better overall than the Samsung Q70/Q70A QLED. While it has a lower contrast ratio as a result of its 'Ultra Viewing Angle' layer, it also has a local dimming feature to improve black levels, while the Q70A doesn't. Unfortunately, the Q80T suffers a bit when in 'Game Mode', as the local dimming and HDR brightness perform worse. Still, it has a slightly quicker response time, so motion looks clear. It also delivers a better HDR experience overall since it gets brighter than the Q70A in HDR. One other thing to consider though, is that we have received some reports about the Q80T having visible stuttering and judder when watching sports via cable TV. If you do go with the Q80T and watch sports via cable, just make sure to try them out early and if there is noticeable issues, you can return the TV and exchange it for the Q70A.
@@RTINGSdotcom thanks so much for ur input! So I’ve now decided to perhaps downgrade to a 65” rather than the 75” (but not 100%) since I can get a better tv for the $$$. But regardless on size I’m now looking into the Q80a vs QN85a Neo. Then there’s the Q90t to throw into the mix but rather go w a 2021 model (“a”). So yes i do watch a lot of live sports but game as well on the newer Xbox system. These 3 TVs r a few hundred dollars btwn them so I don’t mind spending the extra $$$. Thanks again in advance!!!
Depending on what you're looking for, the Q70A would probably be our suggestion. The Q80A has an ADS panel, which has much wider viewing angles. It also gets significantly brighter in HDR, so highlights stand out the way they should. However, the Q70A has a VA panel with a much better contrast ratio and improved black uniformity. Even though the Q80A has a full-array local dimming feature, which the Q70A doesn't have, the Q70A is better for dark room viewing due to its higher contrast.

Hi, Thanks for this amazing and detailed review. I would like to find more information about the Q77A, what do you think about that model? Thaks for sharing any opinion!
It's likely just some sort of regional/retailer variant with a different tuner or better speakers, and we'd expect it to perform similarly. However, we haven't tested this specific model, so we can't say for sure.

@@RTINGSdotcom at 1:54 on the back of the TV you can see faint cut out lines about the same shape of the legs. They are in line with the legs height wise. But further towards the outside than the legs. They look like you may be able to remove the panel to expose an optional place to mount the legs. That's what I was wondering.
Great review and subscribed. The scene with all 4 sets in the dark testing the local dimming seemed to show the Q70A having very low blooming despite not having full array backlight. Is this correct ?
The KS8000 really was a beast of a tv a true gem. The Q80 line is a true gem also would take a Samsung over Sony everytime. With Samsung u want the Q80 series and up. The Q80 can hang with the big dogs and much more expensive tv’s. The Q80B is a gem of a tv if you can find one of those new still they are highly discounted now. I would take the QN90B or C over any Oled tv LG or Sony they are truelly awe inspiring
Depends on your viewing environment. The Q70A will be better for viewing content in dark rooms as it can display deep blacks and less blooming around bright objects (thanks to its VA panel). On the other hand, the Q80B uses an IPS type panel so it'll be better for bright rooms or wide seating arrangements!
I got the Q80B 85 in and it is waaaay better than the Q70a. The 85 has a VA panel and gorgeous deep blacks and contrast. The 80b is more like a high end tv with all the high end features and a gorgeous bright picture. The 85 in Q80B is like a hidden gem I love mine
I got the Q72A (not sure what's different with the 2) on sale and it seems to do well apart from some clouding in the corners on some content. Not present in games but is while using smart TV functions. Not exactly sure why.
I got the q82a over the q80a for 100 more. Just spoke with Samsung. The 82 got 2 more speakers and instead of "supreme local dimming" of the 4k tvs that the 80 got, it gets the "ultra dimming" that the 8k tvs got. Not sure how much of a real difference this actually makes. Maybe yours is something like that

Hello, I set these up in my store in Australia a couple of weeks ago. Thankfully our Q70a has the same stand as the Q80a. The Q60A has that 3 part plastic stand. It really is a rubbish stand. It has been really interesting seeing this year's models. The Au8000, Q60a and Q70a all look noticeably better than last years'. The Q80a looks horrible vs last year's Q80t. It's interesting to see the Q70a getting a better contrast ratio than the q80t can get with local dimming. Can you guys confirm whether or not the qn800a/900a/950a are using a VA panel like the qn90a?
I bought this TV in Jan,2022 and within a week I started getting clicking noise from the panel. I reported this issue with Samsung support team and their mechanic came multiple times but couldn't fix the proble. Rootcause: TV back panel is connected with the front panel via hooks and metal strings. When TV heats up metal panels expands which pushes the back panel and makes noise. You can hear the noise even after TV switch off because panel contracts and starts pulling the panel. They said its a mechanical problem in the TV and it can't be fixed. They tried changing the panel but it didn't help. So my suggestion is don't buy this model. It will definetly have this problem. If you still want to buy then buy it from local store where you can easily return otherwise you will stuck in same loop as I am. Samsung sent mechanic 4 times but they couldn't fix the problem. They changed the panel and it is slightly curved horizontally. Now I am fighting with them to fix noise plus curved issue. I tried to return this TV but they are not accepting my refund request.
I had this TV for a year and have really enjoyed it, however I just can't seem to get the right motion settings (Judder / Blur reduction) and the judder / stutter is too noticeable with it switched off.
For me I have found that judder set to 2 or 3 and blur set to 0 works best for low frame rate content like movies (you will see a slight improvement without too much soap opera effect) and with sports and high frame rate content i turn all motion features off as the 120hz panel is already very smooth
@@RTINGSdotcom hi guys could you please tell me if there is a difference between the q70a & the q75a? As far as I’m aware I can only see the stand design changes, are all the internals the same? I can’t find much information about the q75a anywhere.
Samsung officialy tells is compatible with no gap mount (also their support call center told me, and it's advertised being compatible with all qled 2021), but it's lacking the mounts on the back... should i use the VESA mounting holes? Or just buy a VESA mount...
The Samsung uses a VA panel, which means it has better contrast and black uniformity (so, it's a better fit for dark room viewing). Generally speaking, IPS panels tend to be a bit better for bright rooms but in this case the brightness and reflection handling is very similar between both models. So, the biggest difference then becomes viewing angles. So if viewing angles aren't important to you, and you'll be using it in a darker room (even sometimes), then definitely go for the Samsung.

i bought 55q70a 7 months ago. when i first got it , it had little software issues. youtube icon in the menu was not working from time to time.
i called samsung call center , they told me to plug out power cable and hold onto power button for 30 seconds.
Anyways it didn't solve my problem, after some time the tv got 3 more updates now everything is okey.
My personel opinion is that software update on these TV's make huge difference , since image processing, picture quality and many other things uses artificial intelligence.
Picked up a Samsung Q70A for $800uds refurbished. Got the MicroCenter 2 year warranty for an extra $100usd. Bought the Q80A for the same price the year before. Both are 75 inches. Very pleased with both TVs. So much so i bought a Q80A 65 inch for $650usd refurbished, as well. I had an old Samsung (10 years old) and thought it had a nice picture. But, after retiring it to the guest bedroom with a blue like running vertically through it, I can say that I am amazed at the huge gain in picture quality. Hope they last as long as my old Samsung.
P.S. I agree, the sound quality is terrible. But, nothing a 2.1 Klipsch computer speaker system can not rectify.
How about a test lab in germany for the special models we get in Europe? Also you could test Panasonic TVs / Philips TVs.
I would happily apply for that. :)
Just got 1 today at Costco 65” 1100 very nice TV and quality. Thank you for your review!!!!
What you pay ? Seems like it’s gone up the 55 inch is now showing at 1100.
Turning off the Power Saving Mode on this Unit will enhance your viewing pleasure drastically. It's factory set to on, which is not allowing the QLEDs to operate at full brightness, turning off and enjoy, so you actually can turn off tge auto dimming.
I think this was the best tv review I have ever seen. Thank you for the info. Think I’m gonna get this one in the 65inch size from Costco!

Looking forward to your review on the Hisense U6G.
Yes! Where is this? I can't find any reviews of the U6G and it seems like a stellar deal for 750$ (65in).
Q70A nice option for a lower cost TV. Especially once it goes on sale. But I can't believe Samsung used IPS for Q80A and QN85A. Contrast that bad for that price is terrible. Only should ever buy those unless it's a bright sun room with several windows.
Hey! tell me the settings for broadcasting sports events, because now I have a feeling of 30 frames and a flickering ball
When it comes to Samsung u want to buy the Q80 and QN90 series. The Q80 and up are where there TV’s really shine
Waiting for your review on Q80A in RUclips🤩
just bought a q70a today. replacing a q70r that had local dimming. I think I'll notice the difference, but notbhavinfbthe whole screen dim when a small bright spot is around will be nice.
Feel free to let us know what you think once you get it! :)
Just purchased it via the Black Friday sale. Waiting patiently to connect it and see how it looks in my living room

No mention about 24fps movie content judder/stutter handling, in Sony X85j review it’s mentioned that Sony does it well. How about Samsung for Q70A?
Q70A Looks SO MUCH better then the Q80A
Yeeees
how much better is Q70A compared to Q60A?
Thanks to your review i just ordered it. After using it i will let you know what’s my impression
How did it go?
???
@@IGetLucky.?
How did it go with the tv
A few places online in the UK are currently selling these for good prices as they've been replaced with the Q70B. I'm upgrading from a 9 year old 55" Sony to this in a 75" so I should see a big difference.
Without knowing what TV you had and how it stacks up performance wise, it’s hard to say for sure. But in theory, this TV *should* be a noticeable upgrade. It also just depends on your viewing environment and what you’re hoping to get from it!
Which one would you recommend? Q60A, Q70A or Q80A? I'm really struggling deciding...
The focus is for PS5 gaming, but I'm doubting that the PS5 will have a lot of 120 fps games.
Overall, we give the slight edge for gaming to the Samsung Q70A.

Australian purchase for $1900 Good guys in June. Bought the 55 inch for my family room and kept my Samsung 2010 58inch 1080p 3d plasma in the lounge room. The plasma is better for handling fast moving sport and the sound quality is much better. The Q70A sound is garbage compared to the old plasma. Lucky I have a Samsung Blu Ray sound system to make up for it. Buy a sound bar.
I have the same plasma and I'm wondering to replace it with Q70A , is it good enough for Antenna TV shows and Football Games and movies comparing to old plasma ?
What is the part # for that remote? Can’t find it anywhere and I know it will work with my Q70T.
What is the difference between Q70A and Q70B?
@rtings thankyou for the review, can you tell me if Q95T/Q90T 65 inch is costing me 1650€ and 65 inch Q70A is costing me 1350 which one should I buy in 2022. Thanks in advance
65 LG C1 is costing me 2200€ not going for that.

@@RTINGSdotcom Thankyou for responding, yes does it worth extra 300€? Rating on ratings for Q90T is 8.8 and Q70a has 7.5 which is very impressive.
I needed for cable, internet, movies use. Sometimes gaming.
Tbh I want a good Color TV which looks impressive when content runs.
So no body talks about lack of USB3.0, what is the reason for that?
Audio-Visual illiterate like me, would want to connect my HDD3.0 into the TV USB Port Directly. I have noticed sometimes it doesnt detect files. I tried playing Drone videos without audio and it works fine, but GoPro videos doesnt play well.
Is there a work around to easily view my files? Thanks
Hello I am from Italy I like a lot your reviews!!!
I bought last week a q60t 55 inch and I have a question... in sdr movie mode out of the box I must use gamma 2.2 or bt.1886 ? And why?? Thanks for answer!
Bt.1886 I believe if you have a dark room (more details in dark scenes).
2.2 if you have a bright room (better peak brightness)
Their tvs are getting worse every year. I have a 2018 q6fn and it performs comparable or better than most of their newer ones released since then, apart from flagships obviously
Facts!
Very true q6fn was the best budget tv to date.. i got it in the lounge rm.. to be honest its nearly as good as my q95t.. samsung have seriously gone downhill since 2018
How you gonna compare a TV from 2018 to 2021 makes no since dude smh.
makes perfect sense just like you can compare that muscle cars from the 1969 are better then the ones now days and that's facts
I miss my q6f . That tv was amazing.
I’m not an expert but please can you explain to me the following: Q70A has Native Contrast 7,398: 1, Sony X90J with local dimming has 6,221: 1. So base on that your conclusion for movies assessment is that Sony gives a better contrast ratio caused by local dimming and you give a better assessment on it. I can accept other arguments like “Upscaling” and “Removes judder from all sources”.
Hey Jivko! If you're ever unsure about why a score is the way it is, you can compare the results here: www.rtings.com/tv/tools/compare/samsung-q70-q70a-qled-vs-sony-x90j/21556/21562?usage=6&threshold=0.05
In this specific case, the Q70A takes a hit because of the lack of a local dimming feature which amounts to 20% of our Movie score.
My old Toshiba was able to expand the screen regardless of the picture. My Samsung restricts the screen size on some channels it grays it out. the remote that comes with the set is the solar one. If I get the other remote will that enable me to do what I want? Please advise....Thank you
My Q70a had similar defect as shown @2:14 . Luckily I was able to get my tv replaced with one without defects.

Spot on review... Love this TV
Just ordered it! Can't wait to set it up :)
Would you rather choose to buy this TV or SONY Bravia KD-55X82JAEP? I'm looking for one to buy? Which one is better in your opinion?
Love it! This or the Sony X90J for gaming?
For gaming with the next-gen consoles, we give the edge to the Samsung Q70A because it supports all of the next-gen features that the Sony TV doesn't. Also, the Q70A has much better input lag as well.
I just bought a 55“ Q73A online for 555€ (about 600$). I think that’s „cheap“ and i’m very hyped to see how it performs.
Let us know what you think!
Between Samsung Q70A and Sony X85K which should be the best choice for PS5 gaming experience? Thanks.

So I’m deciding btwn the q80t (2020) & q70a (2021). I believe these r the correct release dates??? I”m looking into the 75” version over the 65” i currently have now & will be around 10-12’ feet away on my couch & on a console stand (not wall mounted). I’m only concerned because i believe the q70a was released after the q80t but confused since the 80 should be an upgrade from the 70 i would think!? I do game with the latest xbox console & i believe they both have 120hz. I would love the Neo but those r out of my price range even though i could get the 65” version but rather go big! However the Q’s r a step above the UHD’s. They’re priced very close so would love any input & advice. I also watch a lot of live sports if that helps. I also go w the Samsungs over the LG OLED since most of my surroundings r on the brighter side. Thanks in advance since I’m looking to purchase asap. Thanks again!!!
The Samsung Q80T is a bit better overall than the Samsung Q70/Q70A QLED. While it has a lower contrast ratio as a result of its 'Ultra Viewing Angle' layer, it also has a local dimming feature to improve black levels, while the Q70A doesn't.
Unfortunately, the Q80T suffers a bit when in 'Game Mode', as the local dimming and HDR brightness perform worse. Still, it has a slightly quicker response time, so motion looks clear. It also delivers a better HDR experience overall since it gets brighter than the Q70A in HDR.
One other thing to consider though, is that we have received some reports about the Q80T having visible stuttering and judder when watching sports via cable TV. If you do go with the Q80T and watch sports via cable, just make sure to try them out early and if there is noticeable issues, you can return the TV and exchange it for the Q70A.
@@RTINGSdotcom thanks so much for ur input! So I’ve now decided to perhaps downgrade to a 65” rather than the 75” (but not 100%) since I can get a better tv for the $$$. But regardless on size I’m now looking into the Q80a vs QN85a Neo. Then there’s the Q90t to throw into the mix but rather go w a 2021 model (“a”). So yes i do watch a lot of live sports but game as well on the newer Xbox system. These 3 TVs r a few hundred dollars btwn them so I don’t mind spending the extra $$$. Thanks again in advance!!!
Which one would you buy the Q70A or the Q80A. As the Q80A is only slightly more expensive by £100
Depending on what you're looking for, the Q70A would probably be our suggestion. The Q80A has an ADS panel, which has much wider viewing angles. It also gets significantly brighter in HDR, so highlights stand out the way they should. However, the Q70A has a VA panel with a much better contrast ratio and improved black uniformity. Even though the Q80A has a full-array local dimming feature, which the Q70A doesn't have, the Q70A is better for dark room viewing due to its higher contrast.
Hey. Anyone have a problem with hdr on the series x after system update 1808?? :-( every RUclips clip or movie has now lag every 2 sec when hdr is on, and the tv wont let me turn of input signal plus after the update to. It was all good before the update and before i turned on the signal input to
Still have a dilemma. Or the Q90T from 2020 of this one Q70A. Price wise is almost the same. But what should I choose?
Q90t without a doubt
@@shmoggy417 I thought so too 👍🏻
We agree! The Q90T is the better option.
Just deleted my post seeing if q90t or this I'm happy with my purchase 😁
Q90T does not suport 4k120hrz + HDR in ps5 , q70A support
I only connect the TV to a Laptop, I use it as a monitor. I need to have fine fonts displayed. If I understand, I will setup a PC mode which uses 4k 4-4-4 at 60hz.
When a game is started, will it keep this 60hz mode, will it change into a game mode low latency 120hz, where small fonts are rare?
i liked it for the effort of making of this video and everything. Bravo!
great review man, gonna order mine for my ps5 ✌🏿
Did you get the TV? And how does it perform with your PS5?
Sorry barely seeing this now . Yes I did get the tv it performs absolutely amazingggg with my PS5 it looks absolutely gorgeous 👌🏿 . I saw some people were getting models with grey blotches on dark scenes but I think it’s a damage issue .
Hi,
Thanks for this amazing and detailed review. I would like to find more information about the Q77A, what do you think about that model?
Thaks for sharing any opinion!
It's likely just some sort of regional/retailer variant with a different tuner or better speakers, and we'd expect it to perform similarly. However, we haven't tested this specific model, so we can't say for sure.
Hello…. Please give me some advise….. I have a choice between the Samsung q70b at 75inch and then a q80b at 65inch as this is the price range I can afford. But I am not sure witch one I should buy❓❓ Is there really a difference between the 2 in picture quality ❓ a difference in the black levels?

1:54 what are those cutouts at the bottom towards the sides
Are you talking about the stuff in the plastic bag or something else?
@@RTINGSdotcom at 1:54 on the back of the TV you can see faint cut out lines about the same shape of the legs. They are in line with the legs height wise. But further towards the outside than the legs. They look like you may be able to remove the panel to expose an optional place to mount the legs. That's what I was wondering.
Great review and subscribed. The scene with all 4 sets in the dark testing the local dimming seemed to show the Q70A having very low blooming despite not having full array backlight. Is this correct ?
Blooming was fairly minimal on the Q70A even though it doesn't have a local dimming feature, that's right. Thanks for your support! :)
2021 Q70A or 2020 Q80T ? which one is better please? mostly for gaming and watching tv/movies occasionally.

Still rocking the KS8000, one of their best TVs. Guess it’s to Sony once it dies
Same here. Now on to the A80J
The KS8000 really was a beast of a tv a true gem. The Q80 line is a true gem also would take a Samsung over Sony everytime. With Samsung u want the Q80 series and up. The Q80 can hang with the big dogs and much more expensive tv’s. The Q80B is a gem of a tv if you can find one of those new still they are highly discounted now. I would take the QN90B or C over any Oled tv LG or Sony they are truelly awe inspiring
Hi Dago, Do you recommend the Q80B over the Q70A? Thanks for your time 👍🏼
Depends on your viewing environment. The Q70A will be better for viewing content in dark rooms as it can display deep blacks and less blooming around bright objects (thanks to its VA panel). On the other hand, the Q80B uses an IPS type panel so it'll be better for bright rooms or wide seating arrangements!
I got the Q80B 85 in and it is waaaay better than the Q70a. The 85 has a VA panel and gorgeous deep blacks and contrast. The 80b is more like a high end tv with all the high end features and a gorgeous bright picture. The 85 in Q80B is like a hidden gem I love mine
what are the differences between the q70 and the q75 of 2021? I can't find videos of the q75!!
I got the Q72A (not sure what's different with the 2) on sale and it seems to do well apart from some clouding in the corners on some content. Not present in games but is while using smart TV functions. Not exactly sure why.
I got the q82a over the q80a for 100 more. Just spoke with Samsung. The 82 got 2 more speakers and instead of "supreme local dimming" of the 4k tvs that the 80 got, it gets the "ultra dimming" that the 8k tvs got. Not sure how much of a real difference this actually makes. Maybe yours is something like that

My 85" Q70a is awesome...
Any problems with screen uniformity? I am planning to get the 85 inch
Hello, I set these up in my store in Australia a couple of weeks ago. Thankfully our Q70a has the same stand as the Q80a. The Q60A has that 3 part plastic stand. It really is a rubbish stand.
It has been really interesting seeing this year's models. The Au8000, Q60a and Q70a all look noticeably better than last years'. The Q80a looks horrible vs last year's Q80t.
It's interesting to see the Q70a getting a better contrast ratio than the q80t can get with local dimming.
Can you guys confirm whether or not the qn800a/900a/950a are using a VA panel like the qn90a?
I bought this TV in Jan,2022 and within a week I started getting clicking noise from the panel. I reported this issue with Samsung support team and their mechanic came multiple times but couldn't fix the proble.
Rootcause:
TV back panel is connected with the front panel via hooks and metal strings. When TV heats up metal panels expands which pushes the back panel and makes noise.
You can hear the noise even after TV switch off because panel contracts and starts pulling the panel. They said its a mechanical problem in the TV and it can't be fixed.
They tried changing the panel but it didn't help.
So my suggestion is don't buy this model. It will definetly have this problem. If you still want to buy then buy it from local store where you can easily return otherwise you will stuck in same loop as I am. Samsung sent mechanic 4 times but they couldn't fix the problem. They changed the panel and it is slightly curved horizontally. Now I am fighting with them to fix noise plus curved issue. I tried to return this TV but they are not accepting my refund request.
Thanks for the input
I wonder if this is the Serif Panel, as has the same gaming features.
But picture seems optimized for still photos too.
I had this TV for a year and have really enjoyed it, however I just can't seem to get the right motion settings (Judder / Blur reduction) and the judder / stutter is too noticeable with it switched off.
For me I have found that judder set to 2 or 3 and blur set to 0 works best for low frame rate content like movies (you will see a slight improvement without too much soap opera effect) and with sports and high frame rate content i turn all motion features off as the 120hz panel is already very smooth

Which TV would you choose between Samsung q70a or Lg qned 91. And why, greetings a viewer from Danmak
The Samsung uses a VA panel, which means it has better contrast and black uniformity (so, it's a better fit for dark room viewing). Generally speaking, IPS panels tend to be a bit better for bright rooms but in this case the brightness and reflection handling is very similar between both models. So, the biggest difference then becomes viewing angles. So if viewing angles aren't important to you, and you'll be using it in a darker room (even sometimes), then definitely go for the Samsung.
