Yet after spending a few days with this model, it's hard not to come to the conclusion that it's truly a successful piece of equipment. The biggest advantages? Very good picture quality at a ...

QN80F is the first in the history of Samsung's "eighty" series to feature Mini LED backlighting. And it does this really well.

The U7Q PRO is a television that, after just a few minutes, gives a clear signal: "speed matters here."

A refreshing rate of 165 Hz in 4K, and even 288 Hz in Full HD – not that long ago, such numbers were reserved exclusively for top gaming monitors. And here you go, we have a mid-range television wi...
