After the very successful QN85D model, the new Samsung QN85F carries a heavy burden. Looking at last year's model prices during the promotional period, it was hard not to recommend it – it appeared in practically every buying guide as a sure choice due to its excellent quality-to-price ratio. The QN85F is meant to continue this tradition of value. It is still a Mini-LED TV, this time with a refresh rate of 144 Hz, with an improved Tizen and several changes that the manufacturer has prepared for this year. The only question is, what specific innovations does the QN85F bring, and are they sufficient to maintain its position as one of the most recommended models in Samsung's mid-premium offering? Let’s find out in our review!
SAMSUNG QN85F - Our verdict
7.6
Overall rating
The Samsung QN85F is a television that perfectly demonstrates the purpose of the Neo QLED line. On one hand, it has everything that a modern user expects – high brightness, excellent fluidity, and full support for gamers. On the other, it’s still an LCD, so it’s a technology that comes with certain compromises. The question is whether these compromises actually hinder everyday use? In practice, it’s hard not to be impressed by how the QN85F performs with HDR movies. A brightness level of 1700–1800 nits makes watching dynamic scenes truly feel like experiencing the “HDR spark,” which many competitive televisions lack. The lighting effects in films or series can literally overwhelm with intensity, yet the television doesn’t lose detail and doesn’t turn the entire image into a washed-out blob. This is precisely the kind of spectacular experience that viewers investing in a new screen are searching for. Gamers also have reasons to be pleased. (Well, maybe apart from one shortcoming related to HGIG.) It supports 144 Hz, variable refresh rate VRR, and automatic game mode ALLM. This is already a must-have set in this class, but Samsung goes further by adding a unique feature called Game Motion Plus. Thanks to this, the image in games becomes smoother, resembling the operation of a motion smoother in films, but without a noticeable increase in latency. This solution truly sets the QN85F apart from the competition. On top of all this, there’s everyday convenience. The Tizen system is fast, stable, and full of apps that we actually use – from Netflix to Apple TV to YouTube and Disney+. There’s also AirPlay support, a comprehensive SmartThings platform, and a remote that, instead of being intimidating with dozens of buttons, offers simple navigation and quick access to the most important functions. This makes the QN85F a television that you just want to reach for every day. Sure, you can point out the shortcomings. There’s no Dolby Vision, no USB recording, and the viewing angles typical of a VA panel won't impress if you sit at a steep angle. But all of this pales in comparison to how versatile and refined the QN85F is. During the day, it handles bright rooms excellently, in the evening it delivers cinematic emotions in HDR, and in games, it provides smoothness and low input lag that other models could envy. Overall, the QN85F is a television that not only successfully continues the value-for-money tradition of its predecessor, the QN85D, but even expands it with several strong points. It’s equipment that’s hard to describe in any other way than as a “safe choice” – one that won’t disappoint in any scenario and is very likely to meet the expectations of even the most demanding users.

The appearance of the QN85F immediately reveals that we're dealing with a television that fits into Samsung's NeoQLED line. This device is really well-made, with a very slim frame in a silver-graphite colour, mostly metal, except for the lower bezel that hides the electronics. The base is maintained in the same shade and has an unusual hybrid application. In a classic setup, it can be turned into a central stand by placing a plastic cover on it. However, if someone needs more stability, it's just a quick move to convert it into two widely spaced legs. Although the quality of the legs themselves slightly falls short of the premium feel, the concept is very well thought out and, interestingly, perhaps used for the first time in a television. Moreover, the legs can also be adjusted for height, raising the screen to better fit the space and any potential soundbar. That's a really big plus and a nod to users. If Samsung maintains this direction, we hope that next year similar solutions will become standard in more models. Returning to the device itself, it is really well-built and relatively slim at the back to hang it flat against the wall.

Visibility of details in the lights:
Our editorial team received a 55-inch model with a VA panel. In the case of NeoQLEDs, which are TVs with Mini-LED backlighting, size is crucial because the larger the screen, the more local dimming zones it can have. This directly translates to higher contrast. In the version we tested, we counted as many as 240 dimming zones, which is twice as many as last year's QN85D. Theoretically, such an increase should deliver an equally impressive improvement in contrast. Unfortunately, practice showed otherwise – the QN85F delivers results very close to its predecessor. Yes, in some scenes with a lot of black or in areas where details in highlights are crucial, there is a noticeable improvement, but it is not proportional to the number of zones. The Mini-LED technology can be temperamental, and sometimes delicate halos appear around small, bright objects. This is a typical compromise that one must accept with such a solution. However, this doesn’t change the fact that the contrast in the QN85F is at a very high level and will easily satisfy most users, even the more demanding ones. However, we have the impression that Samsung could fine-tune the algorithms controlling the dimming because we know from experience that they can perform really well in other models.

Although more than twice the number of dimming zones compared to its predecessor did not result in a spectacular leap in black levels and contrast, we definitely felt it in the HDR effect itself. The QN85F is up to 50% brighter than last year's model and it makes a huge impression in dynamic scenes. Peak brightness can reach almost 1700–1800 nits, which is an impressively high result for this Mini-LED class. The best part is that almost regardless of the scene being watched, the HDR effect remains strong and vibrant. In four out of five test scenes, brightness was maintained around 1000 nits, a level that in most cases allows the viewer to feel the true magic of this format. Of course, in scene number 4 from the film Sicario 2, the limitations of Mini-LED technology become apparent – the brightness of the helicopter's subtle light drops to around 500 nits. This isn't an outstanding result, but it is still much more acceptable than last year's model. Samsung deserves applause for the dramatic improvement in brightness with the QN85F compared to its predecessor. However, there's a certain trend visible in this year's televisions – the manufacturer has worsened colour gamut coverage. Although the QN85F has a QLED panel, its result at around 90% DCI-P3 is average, and in the most demanding films, it may lead to less vibrant colours than its predecessor. Despite this drawback, the overall HDR effect is at an excellent level and truly makes a big impression in this class of devices.
Scene from the movie “Pan” (about 2800 nits)
Scene from the movie “Billy Lynn” (about 1100 nits)
Of course, like in any test, we must look not only at the dry measurements but also at the overall experience of watching movies. And one thing is certain – the high brightness of the QN85F absolutely did not go to waste. Whether we were reaching for films mastered with the highest quality image in mind on Blu-ray discs, or for series and films primarily prepared for streaming on platforms like Netflix, Amazon, or HBO, the picture looked really very good. The intensity of lights in productions like Billy Lynn or Pan could at times truly overwhelm, and the level of brightness provided a sense of true immersion in HDR. We also had no major objections to the clarity of details. The image did not merge into uniform, overexposed blobs, and the details remained sharp. Perhaps our editorial eye caught some slight nuances 😉: slight colour shifts towards red or subtle loss of details in very small, bright points. Nevertheless, this does not change the fact that the QN85F handles HDR films in a decidedly more than satisfactory manner and gives the viewer a sense of engaging with a high-quality image.

The films discussed earlier were tested in HDR10 format, which is a static version. This allowed us to see how the QN85F handles adaptation to high brightness in scenes designed for the best picture quality. And although there were minor issues in this mode, such as slight loss of detail in super bright whites, the situation changes dramatically when we switch to material in the dynamic HDR10+ standard. In HDR10+, visibility of details is greater, and the problem with overexposed areas virtually disappears. This shows that even a bright TV like the QN85F can still benefit when it receives material in a format with dynamic metadata. Until recently, HDR10+ was considered a niche solution, but today its popularity has significantly increased and it can be found more frequently on major streaming platforms, including Netflix. This is a very good direction, as for a long time, Dolby Vision was the only dynamic format widely available. It still remains more prevalent, however, looking at the growing wave of popularity of HDR10+, the absence of Dolby Vision in Samsung TVs is no longer as big of an issue as it was a few years ago.

Factory color reproduction
4.8/10
Samsung QN85F offers several preset picture modes, but out of the box, the television starts in 'Eco' mode. We could almost end the discussion here, as using this setting on such a model makes little sense – the picture is washed out, unpleasant, and far from what we expect from a television of this class. Therefore, we conducted our tests in the best available mode, which is Filmmaker mode. Its purpose is to faithfully reproduce what the directors saw during filming, and indeed, it is the setting that performs best among all factory options. However, this doesn't mean it's free from flaws.
Both in SDR and HDR, the QN85F prominently highlighted warm colours. This was due to a lack of white balance, where the blue colour was noticeably absent. Additionally, the image was sometimes overexposed – both the gamma brightness characteristic and the EOTF curve indicated that the television has a tendency to blow out scenes. In SDR, colour reproduction errors (Delta E around 4–5) were still acceptable, but in HDR, the inaccuracies became quite significant and clearly deviated from what the creators intended to show us. Fortunately, Samsung provides a wide range of calibration tools in its televisions, so – as always – we proceeded with professional calibration to see how much could be improved.
Color reproduction after calibration
8.5/10
After calibrating the movie mode, we managed to tame the colours in both modes almost to perfection – most of them did not exceed an error value of 3, which is the threshold of perceivability by the human eye. The image became more natural, fuller, and at the same time free of the overexposure that was noticeable right after taking the television out of the box. This demonstrates the significant potential that lies within the QN85F and how well it responds to precise settings. However, this does not change the fact that certain technological barriers cannot be overcome. Despite the enormous benefits of calibration, there are still limitations to the panel itself. Although the number of dimming zones has doubled compared to its predecessor, the algorithms controlling the backlighting can manipulate brightness in their own way. Sometimes this leads to slight colour inaccuracies or subtly visible halo effects around bright objects. Nonetheless, the viewing experience after calibration is really enjoyable and shows how good a screen the QN85F can be if we just take a moment for the right settings.
SAMSUNG QN85F - Smoothness of tonal transitions
9/10
Minor colour errors are often practically unnoticeable; it is the fluidity of tonal transitions that is a category that even a less experienced viewer will pay attention to. Unfortunate stripes and artificial lines can completely ruin the perception of the image. Fortunately, the QN85F handles this aspect almost perfectly. Gradients are smooth, transitions between colours are seamless, and no artificial lines or distinct boundaries separating hues appear on the screen. The image remains consistent, and nothing distracts our attention from the content. Only in very extreme conditions did we notice slight issues in the grey palette, but this is a flaw typical of most televisions and it's hard to consider it a serious drawback. In practice, while watching films, we encountered no problems.
Image scaling and smoothness of tonal transitions
7.5/10
Smooth transition function
Image without overscan on the SD signal
Although the native tonal transitions on the QN85F perform excellently with 4K content, we don't always have to deal with the highest resolution material. This is where how the TV handles upscaling and digital image processing becomes crucial. This process is managed by Samsung's proprietary processor – AI NQ4 Gen2. In practice, it works very effectively. If visible colour banding or other undesirable phenomena appear on the screen, for instance with content from YouTube, they can easily be smoothed out using the "noise reduction" feature. Set to medium, it improves tonal transitions while not overly blurring desired details. However, it should be noted that – like in most Samsung TVs – this feature heavily interferes with film grain. Therefore, during movie screenings, it’s wise to use it cautiously to avoid losing the natural character of the image.
The upscaling itself looks very good. Test materials in lower resolutions were displayed sharply and clearly, with a lot of details. The only drawback remains the issue with overscan, which cuts off the edges of the screen. In most situations, this isn't noticeable, but with very old materials below HD quality, there may be instances where a fragment of the image from the left side gets slightly cut off.
SAMSUNG QN85F - Blur and motion smoothness
7.7/10
Maximum refresh rate of the panel: 144Hz
Film motion smoothing option: Yes
Blur reduction option: Yes
BFI function 60Hz: Yes, 60Hz (image flickers)
BFI function 120Hz: No
Brightness drop with BFI: 68%
Motion blur and fluidity of movement in the QN85F is a topic worth discussing further because the TV is equipped not with a standard 120 Hz panel but with a 144 Hz one. The extra hertz will mainly be appreciated by PC gamers, but the very fact of having such an option can be seen as a nice addition and a sign of the times – it's hard to complain about the trend of faster panels since in practice, each of us would like the picture to be as smooth as possible. However, the most important thing is how the TV performs with typical 120 Hz refresh rates – in the case of consoles, sports, or films recorded at 24 or 30 frames per second. And here, the QN85F performs really well. In films, you can easily adjust the character of the picture thanks to the "image clarity" feature, where you'll find two control sliders. Key in the case of screenings is the one responsible for reducing motion judder. Lower values give the image a more cinematic character with preserved "frame-ness," while higher values lead to strong smoothing, reminiscent of television theatre.

Smużenie (4K@144Hz):
The smudging in films is at a decent level. Indeed, in dark backgrounds, you can spot minor issues, but they are subtle enough not to hinder us in practice. While watching winter sports or football, where the background was bright and the action on screen was fast, the television performed very well, maintaining high fluidity and relatively good image clarity.

The Samsung QN85F makes a fantastic impression from a gamer’s perspective. It features four HDMI 2.1 ports, so we can easily connect multiple devices at the same time. There’s also Variable Refresh Rate (VRR) to prevent screen tearing, as well as Auto Low Latency Mode (ALLM), which allows the TV to automatically switch to the appropriate settings when we start the console. Additionally, it supports refresh rates of up to 144 Hz – something that PC gamers will particularly appreciate, but the mere fact that this option is available shows that Samsung is committed to full support for gamers. The Game Bar panel also deserves praise. It provides a quick overview of key parameters – from frame rates to refresh mode, and even shortcuts to picture settings. Instead of sifting through the entire menu, everything is at our fingertips, which proves to be really convenient in practice. However, the most interesting addition is the Game Motion Plus feature. It’s essentially a motion smoothing function, brought into the gaming world. When activated, the picture becomes smoother, sometimes it even looks like we’ve gotten a few extra frames, and importantly – the response delay doesn’t increase enough to hinder gameplay. This solution truly sets Samsung’s 120Hz TVs apart from the competition.
The only serious downside remains the lack of proper HGiG support. This standard is responsible for accurate tone mapping in HDR games, which ensures that brightness and contrast are displayed according to how creators intended. Without HGiG, we have to manually adjust brightness, which doesn’t always yield perfect results. The feature was available in previous models, but it disappeared from the QN85F after one of the updates. We hope that Samsung will quickly rectify this issue, and we will be keeping an eye on whether they succeed.
SAMSUNG QN85F - Input lag
9.8/10
The input lag in the QN85F is exceptionally high. With content at 120 or 144 Hz, the values often hovered below 10 ms, which is an outstanding result. Naturally, when playing at 60 Hz, the lag doubles, but it still remains low enough to be practically unnoticeable. This makes the QN85F suitable for both dynamic e-sports games and more relaxed console titles.

Input lag in PC mode (4K, maximum refresh rate): 9ms
Matrix subpixel arrangement: BGR
Max refresh rate: 144Hz
G-Sync: Yes
The QN85F performs really well in terms of collaboration with computers. Thanks to the PC mode with a refresh rate of up to 144 Hz, support for G-Sync, and low input lag, gaming on a personal computer is very enjoyable and should not cause frustration even for more demanding gamers. The readability of the fonts is also good – the TV supports 4:4:4 chroma, so standard texts look sharp and clear. The problem only arises with very thin letters. Regardless of the refresh rate setting – whether it’s 144, 120, or 60 Hz – horizontal, thin lines were poorly visible. Reducing the refresh rate slightly improved the situation, but never to the point where one could say they were displayed perfectly.
SAMSUNG QN85F - Viewing angles
3.2/10
Brightness drop at an angle of 45 degrees: 73%
The viewing angles on the QN85F are the classic Achilles' heel of most LCD TVs with VA panels. When looking at the screen from an angle, the drop in brightness becomes apparent quite quickly, with whites starting to grey and colours losing their intensity. This is the price to pay for the high contrast that this technology offers. Samsung could have opted for a better coating to enhance viewing angles in this model, but it is not present here. In practice, this means that the best viewing experience will be obtained when sitting directly in front of the television, and any significant deviation will result in a noticeable loss of picture quality.
SAMSUNG QN85F - TV efficiency during daytime
6.9/10
Matrix coating: Satin
Reflection suppression: Good
Black levels during daytime: Good
QN85F performs exceptionally well during the day. The satin finish of the screen combined with high brightness makes it a television designed for bright rooms. Colours do not lose their intensity, and the image does not wash out even when a lot of light floods in. The television itself is bright enough to handle a lounge with large windows facing south. Therefore, the QN85F gives us an image that allows us to watch movies or matches during the day without annoying reflections and the feeling that the picture disappears in the sunlight.

Smart TV and Tizen System
Samsung QN85F runs on its proprietary operating system Tizen, which has long been one of the strongest points of the Korean manufacturer. The platform operates quickly, is well-developed and provides access to virtually all the necessary applications. Here we have AirPlay support, screen mirroring, voice search, and a very clear interface. Everything is controlled by a remote with a minimal number of buttons, designed to give us quick access to the most important applications.
Classic TV Features
When it comes to classic television features, the QN85F offers a rather basic set. The EPG interface is clear and easy to use, resembling a traditional teletext programme list. A downside is the lack of USB recording and the absence of PiP functionality, which Samsung has offered in many other models. This is because the QN85F uses single tuners. For some people, this may be a disadvantage, but considering how few viewers today use traditional linear television, it won’t matter much to most users.
SmartThings and Device Support
A strong element of the entire platform is the SmartThings app. Thanks to it, we can integrate the TV with other smart home devices – not just those from Samsung. We can connect smart lighting like Philips Hue or Yeelight, video intercoms, and many other devices to the system. SmartThings also allows us to control the TV without using a traditional remote – we can use the app on our smartphone, mouse mode, or gesture control if we have a Samsung watch. This makes the QN85F a part of a larger ecosystem and fits perfectly into the trend of smart IoT homes.

Movies, music, photos – everything runs without any issues. The only hiccup occurs with HEIC files, which are photos from Apple devices. According to the specifications, they should work, but in practice, they simply do not open. Thumbnails are visible, but the file itself refuses to launch. This looks like a common software bug. Aside from that one case, the player performs correctly and gives no reasons for complaints.

The Samsung QN85F is equipped with a 2.2 system with a power output of 40 W, and it performs really well for built-in speakers. The bass is pleasant, and the dialogue is clear and easy to hear even during louder scenes. Even at maximum volume, the TV doesn't experience any unwanted vibrations, and nothing rattles. At the bottom of the cabinet, there is a woofer responsible for the bass – therefore, when installing, it's important to ensure it isn't obstructed.
As for formats, the QN85F does not support DTS:X audio, which for Samsung has been a standard for several years now and forces Blu-ray enthusiasts to connect audio devices first to the home theatre system and then to the TV. However, in return, we get support for the more popular Dolby Atmos format, which can add extra depth to the sound of movies and series.
