Is The Q80C My New FAVORITE TV? | Samsung QLED TV Review

[@nthkndd]

We got this in the 85 and love it. We got rid of direct tv and use the Samsung plus app and it looks like they have integrated Pluto and it’s all free.

[@WaltsTV]

Nice! Yeah thats the way to go.

[@mazdaman1982]

I almost bought this tv in 65 inch but I ended up getting the Samsung QN85C in 65 inch cause it was on sale and it was the same exact price from Samsung as the Q80C and I got the Samsung Q990B sound bar on clearance and I picked that up

[@WaltsTV]

nice! 990 is a beast!

[@kidrob0tn1k]

Where did you find the QN85C for the same price as the Q80C?

I got the QN85C too.

[@ashemoski]

I picked up this TV as an open box for $740 last weekend. I added a $35 glass-base stand (the OEM one was missing), and I'm absolutely satisfied. Your review was a factor in the decision, so thank you!

[@WaltsTV]

Nice! Next time you need a tv or soundbar make sure you check out our website! Sometimes we are also running some open box specials as well. www.walts.com

[@marlynnek6449]

We have the 65 inch and the glaring problem with these TVs is all the preloaded apps - like 10 WHICH YOU CAN'T DELETE - which all consume far too much memory to allow the TV to work efficiently. We are forever having to go into diagnostics and delete cache. Yes, that fixes the problem, but it's super annoying that it has to be done weekly.

[@WaltsTV]

thats odd I never have that issue

[@oilerguy5494]

Do a factory reset

I purchased this tv in 75’ inch last month at Sam’s club for $829 on clearance and last week on prime deals I purchased the Samsung q600c soundbar for $229. For less than $1100 I got a decent set up for my basement mancave.

Hello my friend QN90A and Q80C, what it’s better? I want to buy a new TV. It’s the same price this two, what u sugest?

[@WaltsTV]

Q80C because its two years newer.

[@Papalaessa]

I will buy, where in Portugal cost 799$, u think its worth or i can find better? @@WaltsTV

[@calebniederhofer6529]

Get the Q80C! Newer TV and will get updates longer. Q80C has a newer and better processor.

[@gioelecasagranda2637]

This TV looks nice! I was considering to buy an Oled actually, but found this one (65 inch version) for 400 euros and I am really tempted. I just struggle to put it in the Samsung TV range, there are too many...

[@WaltsTV]

Very good value and why I like samsung so much!

[@ugoewulonu4936]

Can you review the QN85C next?

[@WaltsTV]

Definitely on the list!

[@sumithjjwala3]

Hello, thanks for the overview, i bought a 85 inch Q80C series in france which has 220-240v 50-60 hz mentioned on the backpanel, i am supposed to move to US (110v), anyidea if the french TV will work without a voltage converter in US, my previous LG TV had 100-240v written on it, but the samsung doesnt, thanks

[@WaltsTV]

That is a great question and to be honest i am not sure. I recommend reaching out to Samsung support through chat on their website, they should be able to provide a fast and accurate answer to that!

[@dianearmstrong4139]

Switching from a Roku system, I’m having a hard time adjusting to the Samsung Tizen. And I can not get captions on local through the air antenna stations. Very disappointing for the hard of hearing. Still trying to figure out the remote system.

[@WaltsTV]

if you really like the roku you can buy a physical roku and use it through one of the hdmi ports on the TV.

[@rcspeedrunner]

I was advised and considering the 2024 65q80d.. looking forward to a review of that one!

[@WaltsTV]

Oh you bet! It is on the long list so make sure your subscribed so you dont miss it!

[@ashemoski]

I wondered about this while shopping, and found very little comparative information. What I did find indicated that there are only minimal differences. The 2024 model has a slightly improved processor and newer audio processing (Adaptive Sound Pro vs. Adaptive Sound + and Active Voice Amplifier Pro vs. Active Voice Amplifier). Otherwise, they appear to be identical. Personally, I would save the $300 and get the C-model.

[@atilcanik]

Hi , im between 75q70d vs 75q80c Q70D cost more then 80c , is it worth? When i compare two tv the 80c looks better feature ? What do you think ?

[@WaltsTV]

The 80C for sure because the 80 is a better tv then the 70, regardless of the year! If you wanna support me directly here is a link (plus we are running a really good special right now ) - www.walts.com/tvs/qled-tv/samsung-qled-tv-qn75q80cafxza

[@indubhushanranakoti7662]

Hello Walts, I ordered LG C3 but expensive. So I am thinking to cancel that for Q80C because of the price issue. What is your suggestion?

[@WaltsTV]

If you already ordered it I would stick with the C3 its going to look alot better and also if you watch alot of tv then you are going to get your moneys worth.

[@aarong1174]

Thanks for the review. Great job BTW. I was going to buy an OLED but opted for this instead considering the burn in. How much better do you think an OLED is compared to this? I mostly play video games in 4k btw

[@WaltsTV]

OLED is better there is no question, but it is alot pricier. I think this is the best over all tv for gamers, anything better is $300-$400 more!

[@bigz3685]

He is right OLED it’s pretty much the best of the best, and as far as burn in we have technologies that pretty much prevent that from happening today, you shouldn’t have to worry about that if you pick one up

[@davidnicolay4828]

So I have been going in circles between the q80c vs the hisense u7k. Could you shine any light on the two please

[@WaltsTV]

Q80C is better, samsung has been doing TV longer and just have it down.

[@Fedgelovesjaffas]

I purchased the u7k had a faulty screen and the processing was just poor, the only thing good about the tv was the sound. But that’s off back for a refund due to the fault and now waiting for my Q80c. Cannot wait. Nearly temped by qn90c but the screen reflections put me off and I didn’t see a massive difference between the 2 warrant paying an extra £400

[@DaveThompsonfairlife4all]

What is the viewing angle like? Does this model come with both VA and IPS panels? Oh wow, same with this! LG put VA panels only in the 50 inch and then keep quiet about it in the specs. Samsung have also put VA panels in the 50" for this model aswell! Why do that do that? There is a big difference in picture.

[@Revolver1981]

VA panels are better. They have better contrast. Don't listen to idiots talking about the viewing angles. The viewing angles on VA panels are fine. Nobody watches TV from really acute angles anyway.

[@WaltsTV]

Agree! I wouldnt worry about it too much.

[@DaveThompsonfairlife4all]

@@Revolver1981 I like to occasionally use a mirror for seeing it from a different angle, hence the importance of the viewing angle, for me. I found it strange that there are so many videos explaining the differences between the two panels, yet the manufacturers don't even bother to mention it. I have to go to the 3rd party specs site to find that out. I have realised that there are varying levels of differences, so I will get off my bottom and see them in a store. It's the best way to buy a TV.

[@Revolver1981]

@@DaveThompsonfairlife4all I think the Q80C uses a ADS panel. I'd never heard of them before but apparently they're similar to IPS panels with some slight differences.

Just bought the 98 inch for movies at home. Hopefully the picture quality is really good. I have 900Q now and oled both 65. Heard blooming is bad on these models.

[@WaltsTV]

So will it look like an OLED, No. But for the price and size your not going to find a better looking model in this class without jumping 10K - 15K.

i brought this tv 98 inch october 24th was delivered i wish i would have brought the neon Qled !!! the tv sometimes looks grainy & picture not clear enough a little dissatisfied

[@WaltsTV]

How close are you sitting next to it? and typically the larger the tv the harder it is for that tv to process the picture at such a large scale, thats why going for the higher quality set will be alot better!

[@dist221]

I've read that the peak brightness on this one is only about 700 nits. Seems really low, my old Samsung (q90t) has the double amount. Any thoughts on this, Is this TV too dark?

[@WaltsTV]

So I will say brightness hasn't changed a whole lot with the QLED line. The biggest thing is processing power has gotten alot better. If you have a Q90T I would keep it for another year or two before I would upgrade, and honestly at that point it might make more sense to jump to the OLED line

[@dist221]

@@WaltsTV I probably wait a while and get a Neo Qled cause I guess I'm a fanboy. Oleds are good but man I still think about them burn ins too much. It narrows down the choices I guess, hey man thanks for the answer appreciate it

Hello my friend. Great review. I have an sony a80k Oled 65". But im a believer that bigger is better on a tv and im thinking on getting the Q80c in 98". But i dont know if it will worth it. The sony look great but i have seen some videos that says the an experience of a 98" tv ia priceless. Maybe do you have a recommendation? Thanks again.

[@WaltsTV]

yeah I think its more important about the size of your room, because if you are in a small room with 98" TV you might be too close to it and the motion might be hard to follow. the A80K will have a better picture but this will be brighter and more colorful.

The hate on this tv on reddit is unreal. Most redditors point out the fact that it lacks dolby vision, and crappy ui. Their alternative tv is an oled TV 4x the price of this 😆. I order mine 4 days ago, and expecting to get it tomorrow. I have an apple tv 4k anyways, so ui wont be the problem. For $1200, I wont cry about dolby vision. Just one question, is my bose 600 soundbar compatible with this tv? Some people told me I was going to have to get rid of the bose since samsung is not compatible with dolby sound either, not sure if this is true. Anyways, I liked and subscribed already!

Hello my friend. How is the picture quality? Is it good? I have an oled but I would love to have a bigger tv I'm thinking about getting de 98" version of the q80c. The thing is that an oled tv has an excellent picture quality so I don't know if the q80c has a good picture because an oled in 98" is way expensive

[@calebniederhofer6529]

Why would Bose not be compatible with this TV? I do not understand. Also, Samsung does not have Dolby Vision on and of the TV lineups. Samsung does not want someone else controlling the picture quality and brightness. I have had Dolby Vision and Samsungs mid to higher end stuff is as good or better than a lot of the competition.
