After the very successful QN85D model, the new Samsung QN85F carries a significant burden. Looking at the prices of last year's model during the promotional period, it was hard not to recommend it – it appeared in practically every buying guide as a reliable choice due to its excellent quality-to-price ratio. The QN85F is meant to continue this tradition of affordability. It is still a Mini-LED television, this time with a refresh rate of 144 Hz, an improved Tizen, and several changes that the manufacturer has prepared for this year. The only question is, what specific novelties does the QN85F bring, and are they sufficient to maintain its position as one of the most recommended models in Samsung's mid-premium range? 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 a modern user expects – high brightness, excellent smoothness, and full support for gamers. On the other hand, it's still an LCD, which means the technology comes with certain compromises. The question is whether these compromises actually hinder everyday use? In practice, it's hard not to be impressed with how the QN85F performs in HDR movies. A brightness level of 1700–1800 nits makes watching dynamic scenes truly convey the "HDR spark" that many competing TVs lack. The lighting effects in movies or series can literally overwhelm with intensity, while the TV does not lose detail and does not turn the whole image into a washed-out blur. This is exactly the kind of spectacular quality that viewers investing in a new screen are looking for. Gamers also have reasons to be pleased. (Well, maybe aside from one limitation related to HGIG.) There is support for 144 Hz, variable refresh rate VRR, and auto low latency mode ALLM. This is already a must-have feature in this class, but Samsung goes further and adds a unique feature called Game Motion Plus. Thanks to it, the image in games becomes smoother, resembling the effect of motion smoothing in films, but without a noticeable increase in lag. This solution truly distinguishes the QN85F from the competition. Adding to all of this is everyday convenience. The Tizen system is fast, stable, and full of apps that we actually use – from Netflix and Apple TV to YouTube and Disney+. Additionally, there is AirPlay support, an advanced SmartThings platform, and a remote that, instead of overwhelming us with dozens of buttons, provides simple control and quick access to the most important functions. This makes the QN85F a TV that you simply want to reach for every day. Of course, it’s possible to list its shortcomings. There’s no Dolby Vision, no USB recording, or PiP, and the viewing angles typical of VA panels won't impress if you sit at a large angle. But all of this pales in comparison to how versatile and refined the QN85F is. During the day, it performs excellently in bright rooms, 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 TV that not only successfully continues the value tradition of its predecessor, the QN85D, but even enhances it with several strong points. It's a device that’s hard to describe in any other way than as a "safe choice" – one that will not disappoint in any scenario and is highly likely to meet the expectations of even the most demanding users.

The appearance of the QN85F immediately reveals that we are dealing with a television that fits into Samsung's NeoQLED line. This device is really well-made, with a very slim silver-graphite frame, mostly metal, except for the lower bezel concealing the electronics. The base is kept in the same shade and has an unusual, hybrid application. In the classic setup, it can be made into a central stand by placing a plastic cover on it. However, if someone wants greater stability, they can easily convert it into two widely spaced legs with a single motion. Although the quality of the legs themselves slightly falls short of the premium feel, the solution is very well thought out and, interestingly, appears to be used for the first time in a television. Furthermore, the legs can also be adjusted in height, raising the screen for better fitting into the space and any potential soundbar. This is a significant advantage and a nod to users. If Samsung continues in this direction, we hope that next year similar solutions will become standard in more models. Returning to the device itself, it is really well-made and relatively slim at the back so it can be hung flat on 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 incredibly important because the larger the screen, the more local dimming zones it can have. This directly translates to higher contrast. In the variant we tested, we counted as many as 240 dimming zones, which is twice as many as in last year's QN85D. Theoretically, such an increase should bring an equally impressive improvement in contrast. Unfortunately, practice showed something different – the QN85F offers results very similar to its predecessor. Yes, in some scenes with a lot of black or in areas where details in the highlights are crucial, there is progress, but it is not proportional to the number of zones. Mini-LED technology can be capricious, and sometimes around small, bright objects, there are subtle halos. This is a typical compromise that one must accept with such a solution. Nevertheless, 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 refine the algorithms controlling dimming because we know from experience that they can perform really well in other models.

Although the more than double number of dimming zones compared to its predecessor has not translated into a spectacular jump 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, making a huge impression in dynamic scenes. The peak brightness can reach nearly 1700–1800 nits, which is truly impressive in this Mini-LED class. The best part is that almost regardless of the scene being viewed, the HDR effect remains strong and vibrant. In four out of five test scenes, the brightness was around 1000 nits, a level that in most cases allows viewers to feel the true magic of this format. Of course, in scene number 4 from the movie Sicario 2, the limitations of Mini-LED technology become apparent – the brightness of the helicopter's spotlight drops to around 500 nits. It's not an outstanding result, but it's still much more acceptable than in last year's model. Samsung deserves applause, as the improvement in brightness in the QN85F is substantial compared to its predecessor. However, it's a pity about a certain trend seen in this year’s televisions – the manufacturer has worsened the color gamut coverage. Although the QN85F has a QLED panel, its result of around 90% DCI-P3 is average, and in the most demanding films, it can lead to less vibrant colors than in the predecessor. Despite this shortcoming, the overall HDR effect is at an excellent level and really 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 every test, we must look not only at the dry measurements but also at the overall experience of watching films. And one thing is certain – the high brightness of the QN85F certainly did not go to waste. Whether we were reaching for films mastered with the highest image quality in mind on Blu-ray discs or for series and movies mainly prepared for streaming on platforms like Netflix, Amazon, or HBO, the image presented itself really very well. The intensity of lights in productions such as Billy Lynn or Pan could at times be truly overwhelming, and the level of brightness provided a sense of true immersion in HDR. We also had no major objections to the readability of details. The image did not blend into uniform, overexposed patches, and the details remained clear. Perhaps our editorial eye caught slight nuances 😉: slight color deviations towards red or subtle loss of details in very small, bright points. However, this does not change the fact that the QN85F handles HDR films in a way that is definitely more than satisfactory and gives the viewer a sense of engaging with a high-end image.

The films discussed earlier were tested in HDR10 format, which is the static version. This allowed us to check how the QN85F performs with adaptation to high brightness in scenes prepared for the best image quality. And while there were minor issues in this mode, such as slight clipping of details in super bright whites, the situation changes dramatically when we switch to content in the dynamic HDR10+ standard. In HDR10+, detail visibility is greater, and the problem with overexposed sections practically disappears. This shows that even a bright television like the QN85F can still benefit when it receives content in a format with dynamic metadata. Just recently, HDR10+ was considered a niche solution, but today its popularity has significantly increased, and it is being encountered 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 widespread; however, looking at the growing wave of popularity of HDR10+, the absence of Dolby Vision in Samsung televisions is no longer as big of an issue as it was a few years ago.

Factory color reproduction
4.8/10
The Samsung QN85F offers several preset picture modes, but out of the box, the television starts in "Eco" mode. We could actually end the discussion here, because for such a model, using this setting makes no 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 the Filmmaker mode. Its purpose is to faithfully reproduce what the directors saw while filming, and indeed, this setting performs best among all the factory options. However, this does not mean it is free of flaws.
Both in SDR and HDR, the QN85F strongly highlighted warm colors. This stemmed from a lack of white balance, with a noticeable absence of blue. Additionally, the picture sometimes appeared overexposed – both the gamma brightness characteristic and the EOTF curve indicated that the television has a tendency to blow out scenes. In SDR, the color reproduction errors (Delta E at levels of 4–5) were still acceptable, but in HDR, the inaccuracies became really 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 colors in both modes to nearly perfection – most of them did not exceed an error value of 3, which is the limit of visibility to the human eye. The image became more natural, fuller, and at the same time devoid of the blooming that was noticeable right after taking the TV out of the box. This shows how much potential lies in 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 significant benefits of calibration, limitations of the panel itself still remain. 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 color distortions or subtly visible halo effects around bright objects. Nonetheless, the reception after calibration is really pleasant 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 color errors are practically unnoticeable; it is the smoothness of tonal transitions that is a category that even a less experienced viewer will notice. Unfortunate bands and artificial lines can completely ruin the perception of the image. Fortunately, the QN85F handles this aspect almost perfectly. Gradients are smooth, transitions between colors are seamless, and there are no artificial strokes or clear lines separating the hues on the screen. The image remains cohesive, and nothing distracts our attention from the content. Only under very extreme conditions did we notice slight issues in the gray palette, but this is a drawback typical of most televisions and it's hard to consider it a serious downside. In practice, while watching movies, 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 materials, we don't always deal with content in the highest resolution. That's when it becomes crucial how the television handles upscaling and digital image processing. This process is managed by Samsung's proprietary processor – AI NQ4 Gen2. In practice, it works very efficiently. If visible color banding or other undesirable phenomena appear on the screen, for example in materials from YouTube, they can be easily smoothed out using the "noise reduction" function. Set to medium, it improves tonal transitions while not excessively blurring desired details. However, it's important to remember that – as with most Samsung televisions – this feature significantly affects the film grain. Therefore, during movie screenings, it's advisable to use it cautiously to maintain 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 detail. The only drawback remains the issue of overscan, which is cutting off the edges of the screen. In most situations, this is not noticeable, but with very old materials below HD quality, there may be instances where part of the image on the left side is slightly cropped.
SAMSUNG QN85F - Blur and motion smoothness
7.7/10
Maximum refresh rate of the panel: 144Hz

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 motion in the QN85F is a topic worth discussing in more detail, as the television is equipped not with a standard 120 Hz panel, but with a 144 Hz panel. The additional hertz will primarily be appreciated by PC gamers, but the mere presence of such an option can be seen as a nice addition and a sign of the times – it’s hard to complain about the trend towards faster panels, since in practice, each of us would like the image to be as fluid as possible. However, the most important thing is how the television handles 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 movies, you can easily adjust the character of the image thanks to the “picture clarity” function, where we find two adjustable sliders. Key for viewing sessions is the one responsible for reducing motion blur. Lower values give the image a more cinematic character with preserved “frame rate,” while higher values lead to a strong smoothing that resembles television theater.

The motion blur in movies is at a decent level. Indeed, in dark backgrounds, you can notice minor issues, but they are subtle enough that they didn't bother us in practice. When watching winter sports or football, where the background was bright and the movement on screen was fast, the television performed very well, maintaining high fluidity and relatively good image clarity.

The Samsung QN85F makes a really great impression from a gaming feature standpoint. We have four HDMI 2.1 ports here, so we can connect multiple devices simultaneously without any problems. It also has variable refresh rate (VRR), which prevents screen tearing, as well as automatic game mode (ALLM), which allows the TV to switch to the appropriate settings by itself when we launch the console. Additionally, it supports refresh rates of up to 144 Hz – something that PC gamers will particularly appreciate, but the fact that such an option is available shows that Samsung is fully committed to supporting gamers. The Game Bar panel also deserves praise. It provides a quick overview of the most important parameters – from frame rates, to refresh modes, and even shortcuts to picture settings. Instead of digging through the entire menu, we have everything at our fingertips, which turns out to be really convenient in practice. However, the most interesting addition is the Game Motion Plus feature. It’s essentially a motion smoother, adapted for the gaming world. When enabled, the image becomes smoother; sometimes it even looks as though we’re getting a few more frames, and importantly – the response delay doesn’t increase enough to hinder gameplay. This is a solution that truly distinguishes Samsung’s 120Hz TVs from the competition.
The only serious drawback remains the lack of proper HGiG support. This is the standard that ensures correct tone mapping in HDR games, meaning that brightness and contrast are displayed according to how the developers intended them. Without HGiG, we have to manually adjust the brightness, which doesn’t always result in an ideal outcome. The feature was available in previous models, but it disappeared in the QN85F after one of the updates. We hope that Samsung will quickly fix this issue, and we will be keeping an eye out to see if they succeed.
SAMSUNG QN85F - Input lag
9.8/10
The input lag on the QN85F is at a very high level. With content at 120 or 144 Hz, the values often oscillated below 10 ms, which is an absolutely remarkable result. Naturally, when playing at 60 Hz, the lag doubles, but it still remains low enough that in practice it is virtually unnoticeable. Thanks to this, the QN85F will be suitable for both dynamic e-sports games and calmer console titles.

| 1080p60: 16 ms | 2160p60: 13 ms | |
| 1080p120: 9 ms | 2160p120: 12 ms | |

Chroma 444 (maximum resolution and refresh rate): Yes
Font clarity: Very Good
Readability of dark text and shapes: Average
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 cooperation with a computer. 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 irritation even for more demanding players. The readability of fonts also looks good – the television supports chroma 4:4:4, so standard texts appear sharp and clear. A problem arises only with very thin letters. Regardless of the refresh rate setting – whether it’s 144, 120, or 60 Hz – horizontal, thin lines were hardly visible. Reducing the refresh rate slightly improved the situation, but never enough to say that 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 a classic Achilles' heel of most LCD TVs with VA panels. When looking at the screen at an angle, there is a noticeable drop in brightness fairly quickly, and whites begin to gray out while colors lose their intensity. This is the price to pay for the high contrast that this technology offers. Samsung could have aimed for a better coating to widen the viewing angles in this model, but it is not found here. In practice, this means that the best viewing experience will be achieved when sitting directly in front of the TV, and any significant deviation will result in a clear loss of image quality.
SAMSUNG QN85F - TV efficiency during daytime
6.9/10
Matrix coating: Satin
Reflection suppression: Good
Black levels during daytime: Good
QN85F performs excellently during the day. The satin coating of the panel combined with high brightness makes it a television designed for bright rooms. Colors do not lose their intensity, and the image does not wash out even when a lot of light comes in. The television itself is bright enough to handle a living room with large south-facing windows without any problems. Thus, the QN85F provides an image that allows us to watch movies or games during the day without annoying reflections and the feeling that the picture is fading in the sunlight.

Smart TV and Tizen System
The Samsung QN85F runs on the proprietary Tizen operating system, which has been one of the strongest points of the Korean manufacturer for years. The platform operates quickly, is comprehensive, and provides access to virtually all necessary applications. We have AirPlay support, the ability to mirror the screen, 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 functions, the QN85F offers a rather basic set. The EPG interface is readable and easy to use, resembling a traditional teletext program list. A downside is the lack of USB recording and the absence of PiP functionality, which Samsung offered in many other models. This is because the QN85F uses single tuners. For some people, this may be a drawback, but looking at how few viewers today use traditional linear television, it will not matter much for most users.
SmartThings and Device Support
A strong element of the entire platform is the SmartThings application. With it, we can integrate the television with other home devices—not just those from Samsung. We can connect Philips Hue or Yeelight smart lighting, video intercoms, and many other devices to the system. SmartThings also allows us to control the television without using the traditional remote— we can use the app on our smartphone, mouse mode, or gesture control if we have a Samsung smartwatch. This makes the QN85F part of a larger ecosystem and fits excellently into the trend of the IoT smart home.

Movies, music, photos – everything launches without issues. The only hiccup occurs with HEIC files, which are images 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 seems to be just a regular software bug. Apart from that one case, the player performs well and gives no reasons for complaints.

The bass is pleasant, and the dialogues are clear and easy to hear even during louder scenes. Even at maximum volume, the television does not produce any unwanted vibrations, and nothing creaks. At the bottom of the housing, there is a subwoofer responsible for the bass, so it’s important to ensure that it is not obstructed during installation.
As for formats, the QN85F does not support DTS:X audio, which for Samsung has been a standard for several years now, forcing Blu-ray enthusiasts to connect audio devices first to the home theater and then to the television. In return, however, we get support for the more popular Dolby Atmos format, which can add extra space to the sound in movies and series.
