85-inch TVs – Test Rankings

Available screen sizes: 65”, 75”, 85”

Technology: LCD VA, Mini-LED QLED

Brand: SAMSUNG

Verdict:

The Samsung QN900F is a television that can make a huge impression. The greatest strength of this model is the combination of Mini-LED backlighting with a matte panel. This not only provides decent blacks but above all incredible brightness and excellent visibility in any conditions. During the day, in a brightly lit room, it is probably the best-performing television in Samsung's offering this ye...

Technology: LCD VA, Mini-LED QLED

Brand: HISENSE

Verdict:

Hisense U8Q is a television that makes it hard not to feel that the manufacturer approached the topic with the ambition of a top student. The picture is strong, vibrant, and contrasted – as if it’s shouting: “look, I can do more than most at this price!” And indeed, there is something to this. The secret lies in the large number of dimming zones in Mini-LED technology. Thanks to them, HDR doesn't ...

The C8K is proof that premium Mini LED technology doesn't have to cost as much as a premium product.

The improved viewing angles are also impressive, as they no longer detract from the enj...

Brand: TCL

Verdict:

The TCL C9K is a television that on paper looks like a showcase of the manufacturer's prowess – thousands of Mini-LED zones, a WHVA panel, audio system by Bang & Olufsen, full HDR format support, gaming at 144 Hz, and even 288 Hz at lower resolutions. It’s clear that TCL wanted to pack in absolutely everything they had that was best. And indeed – in many respects, the C9K can impress. The brig...

Technology: LCD VA, Mini-LED QLED

Brand: TCL

Verdict:

There are TVs that go through testing and at first glance seem to be just another "medium-range" option. The TCL C7K looks just like that - without grand claims of revolution, without ambitions to dethrone OLEDs. Yet, after spending a few days with this model, it's hard not to conclude that it's truly a successful piece of equipment. The biggest advantages? Very good picture quality at a reasonabl...

Available screen sizes: 83”

Technology: WRGB OLED

Brand: SAMSUNG

Verdict:

In the case of the 83-inch version, Samsung took a different route than with smaller diagonals and opted for LG Display's Tandem WOLED panel. This move initially raised questions but has proven to be right on the money in practice. We have here an exceptionally successful mix: absolutely reference black, excellent brightness allowing enjoyment of HDR content even during the day, and overall pictur...

Technology: LCD VA, QLED

Brand: SAMSUNG

Verdict:

Samsung QN70F is a pretty decent mid-range TV. Its strongest point is definitely the smoothness of the image – thanks to the 144 Hz panel, low input lag, and a host of extras for gamers, we have here the recipe for nearly an ideal gaming screen. It will work just as well for sports fans – the image is fast, clear, and it doesn't tear. When it comes to image quality – it's really not bad. The VA pa...

Available screen sizes: 43”, 50”, 65”, 75”, 85”

Technology: LCD IPS, White LED

Brand: SAMSUNG

Verdict:

Samsung U8000F with a VA panel is a television that can pleasantly surprise in its class – of course, if we know what to expect from it. The greatest strength of this variant is definitely the quality of blacks. Compared to the version with an IPS panel, the difference is huge – the image gains depth, contrast looks significantly better, and evening movie sessions no longer resemble watching conte...

Verdict:

QN80F is the first in the history of Samsung's "eighty range" to feature Mini LED backlighting. And it does it really well. Although the number of dimming zones isn't staggering, the black levels are solid, and in combination with high brightness, it allows for a very decent picture in HDR content. Additionally, there's a 144 Hz panel that provides excellent motion fluidity, and the gaming feature...
