I haven't reviewed or found any comparision info on these TVs, however going off of past "Q" series models and the info in this video, I would assume the Q70D is the better model. Thanks for your comment.
If you're asking about gaming, the Q60D is just okay because it doesn't support 4K @120Hz or HDMI 2.1 bandwidth for gaming. However, it has very low input lag for great response time during gaming. Thanks for your comment.
I bought one, Dolby Atmos was grayed out, watched many videos and read about it, could never get it to work, even talked to Samsung. A lot of settings were grayed out.
Check out this short video from Samsung to see if this will resolve your issue. Click on the link below: www.samsung.com/in/support/tv-audio-video/how-to-enable-dolby-atmos-sound-on-your-samsung-smart-tv/
@@hdtvsandmore1321 Nope it just said how to turn it on, On my TV Dolby Atmos is grayed out so you can't click on it to turn it on. I sent another message to them on that link you sent. Thanks for trying.
If you haven't already done so, check out the following info on why Dolby Atmos is greyed out: Dolby Atmos on a Samsung TV might be grayed out for a number of reasons, including: TV connection Dolby Atmos only works when the TV is connected via HDMI eARC, not a digital optical cable. Streaming app A streaming app running in the background, like Netflix or Hulu, might be graying out the setting. Sound settings The sound settings might need to be adjusted. For example, try setting the HDMI e-ARC Mode to Auto and Digital Output Audio Format to Auto (or Pass-Through). You can also try different sound settings like "pass through" or "auto". See if this helps your issue.
@@hdtvsandmore1321 I've tried everything you mentioned except checking about apps running in the back ground. one thing I wonder about is the home screen, the last site or whatever you were watching is their, the TV automatically goes to it, also I saw that you should be watching something like netflix and have it on a movie or show that supports Dolby Atmos.
Try both to see which connection gives you the best sound quality. That being said, most external preamps will provide a cleaner, less distorted signal than that of a built-in preamp due to superior components and design. Thanks for your comment.
As you've noticed, this review is based on the 85" screen size and is the only model in the CU8000 line with a 120Hz refresh rate and VRR for gaming. This means the 85-inch model will perform better with motion control and provide smoother video gaming compared to the other sizes in the lineup including the 75-inch model. Thanks for your comment.
How do I play xbox series x in 4k I put the option on my xbox an it says the tv doesn't support it but I click info on source were my xbox is an it says resolution an uhd but doesn't say 4k
I'm not much of a gamer and rarely play video games. I'm also not familiar with the Xbox console. However, I do know UHD or Ultra High Definition is also used to define 4K TVs and the terms are used interchangeably. That being said, the 4K TVs that consumers purchase have a resolution of 3840 x 2160p which is slighty less than the full spec 4K resolution of 4096 x 2160p which was introducded for digital cinema. So technically speking, 4K is slightly better the UHD. However, visually they will look similar. And for home viewing UHD is the same as viewing in 4K. Thanks for your comment.
In my opinion the Q60C is just okay when watching fast action sporting events. And depending on what you are watching and how visually sensitive you are to motion artifacts; you can experience motion blur due to the TVs slower response time. Thanks for your comment.
I don't know how much memory is included for the Roku App channels on the new Pro Series 4K TVs; however, based on previous Roku TV models I suspect it maybe 2 GB. The channel startup is fast. Thanks for your comment.
According to this comparison by Rtings.com, the Hisense U7K is a much better TV. Check it out at this link: www.rtings.com/tv/tools/compare/hisense-u7k-u7-u75k-vs-vizio-quantum-pro-qled/38182/44242?usage=1&threshold=0.10 Thanks for your comment.
Vizio has better color and more intense viewing experience, their quality control has suffered as a result one in every 10 tvs experience problems and their longevity is a question. But Hisense has similar problems and their panels tend to be made poorly and their longevity is very much in question as well. TCL makes a basic he tv but their QLED tvs have good quality and colors and they seem to be better made. Is too bad the US won’t let the Phillips 937 QLed TV’s in,because in terms of picture, sound and quality they leave all these companies including Sony, LG, Samsung, and Panasonic in the dirt. Phillips beats all of them and their price is reasonable . For Gaming for this post Vizio wins.
I am lucky enough to own one of these - it is an aspirational purchase, like a Rolex watch and built to the highest standards. It does offer value for money -yes. I know it is expensive - but compared to the price of high end Denon and Marantz CD only players it takes them on and equals them. The only negative I have is the disc tray is sourced from SONY and is flimsy compared to the rest of this ‘beast’. Not mentioned is the lovely metal remote control that lights up in the dark for all us projector users.
I need help i want to get either q80c vs qn85c vs qn90c but not sure which one is best i heard lots of problems with the qn90c any help would be appreciated
All the models you mentioned are good TVs. I did some quick research on any issues with the QN90C and found that the issues some users are having are not widespread. Some of the issues were not a direct fault of the TV but how a particular source connected to the TV may have caused some compatibility issues. That being said, I wouldn't personally avoid the QN90C and consider it a solid-performing TV. So in my opinion the QN90C would be the best choice of the models you are considering as it does have the best overall picture quality in the group. Hope this helps. Thanks for your comment.
@hdtvsandmore1321 Thank you for your reply, i really appreciate it. It has cleared a lot of misconceptions. Because i saw a review by IGN mainly and other reviewers, and they spoke about how transation from white to black pictures can be a problem as in its noticeable, especially when gaming. Just for calrity, how is it caused? How would i avoid that mistake?
There isn't much you can do about this since its a local dimming issue most likely caused by the TVs processing or algorithm Samsung is using. Hopefully Samsung will address this issue with this years new models. Thanks for your comments.
I haven't done a review on the new DU8000 at this time, but I did find a recent comparision reivew for the DU8000 and CU8000. You can check out the review by Rtings.com at the link below and decide which model you prefer. Thanks for your comment. www.rtings.com/tv/tools/compare/samsung-cu8000-vs-samsung-du8000/39131/55354?usage=1&threshold=0.10
I'm not a fan of comparisons that don't actually provide an answer as to which excels above the other, and leaves it as a "depends on what you want". one is always better.
Although I didn't give a precise answer on a clear winner in this video which wasn't my objective, I did, however, point out some of the performance differences between the two models. For example, the S90C uses a QD OLED panel and has a higher peak brightness output over the C3 which can lead to better overall picture quality. That being said, I do respect your opinion. Thanks for your comment.
I checked again and according to my source, Display Specifications, and my website article, the 50" and 85" models use VA panels whereas the 55", 65" and 75" models use IPS panels. Thanks for your comment.
You will experience some blooming around bright objects and text set against a black or dark background; this will also depend on the content you are watching. However, it won't be severe.
The narration is AI, however, my intention was not to make a video that sounds too perfect. My goal is to make quality videos with useful information about a particular product(s) that helps consumers. Using AI as a base starting point allows me to make videos more efficiently. I then spend a fair amont of time in post-production editing most of the script and adding visuals. Thanks for your comment.
I have been thinking about buying this tv, how is it for accessing video or movies from an external usb drive, my old tv was easy, just look for input, find drive, find file, click play.
I didn't use the USB inputs during my review of the Q80C; however, in past reviews of other Samsung TVs I have used the USB port to view 4K and 1080p video clips without any issure. So I suspect the results should be the same with the Q80C. Thanks for your comments.
As to why Magnetar chose not to include HDMI 2.1 will be a question they have to answer, that being said, HDMI 2.1 isn’t necessary because there isn't anything in the 2.1 standard needed for 4K Blu-ray players. Furthermore, HDMI 2.1 only matters for PS5, Xbox Series X, or a higher-end gaming PC, specifically if you want to game in full 4K@120 + HDR + VRR/Freesync + ALLM all at the same time. Thanks for your comment.
I found this info on a reputable website: "Since 4K UHD discs are region free, 4K discs will play from any region on the UB820. Blu-ray discs are limited to the player’s country region code. In the US, the UB820 will only play Region A blu-ray discs and Region 1 dvds. If you want to play blu-rays and dvds from any region, you’ll have to buy a region free modded version of this 4K player." Hope this info helps. Thanks for your comment.
I'm not much of a gamer, but according to my research, all three of the TVs you mentioned are good for gaming and feature advanced gaming features such as 4K @120Hz and VRR. Additionally, the Sony X85L is optimized for the PS5 gaming console, and features Auto HDR Tone Mapping. That being said, I would personally choose the LG C2 (in a larger screen size) because I prefer the OLED pictue quality over the LED picture quality of the X85L and Q80C. Thanks for your comment.
@@hdtvsandmore1321 thank you for answer! Yeah, I lean more towards LG, but can't afford a larger screen size than 42" they are much more expensive and im also saving a money for a new car, but I sit 2 meters from tv, so I think this size should be fine, just scared a little of burn in, I wish it would last five years
I understand that the price of a larger OLED screen size can be an issue. But as you said, the 42" LG C2 works for you and thats all that matters. As far as burn-in on OLED TVs, its much less of an issue now since technolgy has been improved to lessen its impact. However, its still not a bad idea to take the necessary precautions to limit the impact of OLED TV burn-in. Thanks for your comments.
Although I'm not familiar with the LG QNED866RE since its not a US model, however, I did do some quick research and and found that I would personally prefer the Samsung QN90C due to performance and design characteristics. Thanks for your comment.
@@hdtvsandmore1321 Σας ευχαριστώ πολύ για την απάντηση ! Ήδη αυτές τις ημέρες αγοράσαμε την samsung 50qn90c που είναι σίγουρα πιο φωτεινή αλλά και η lg qned 866re έχει πολύ πολύ πλούσια χρώματα ,σαν να έχεις ένα κινηματογράφο στο σπίτι και σε αυτόν τον τομέα δεν ξέρω εάν η qn90c υπερέχει.Ευχαριστώ πολύ !
Translation from @noekivotos: @hdtvsandmore1321 Thank you so much for your reply! Already these days we bought the samsung 50qn90c which is definitely brighter but also the lg qned 866re has very very rich colors, as if you have a cinema at home and in this area I don't know if the qn90c excels. Thank you very much!
I assume you are referring to the CU8500 which is a UK model and is the equivalent to the CU8000 US model. In my opinion, the Q80C is worth the extra money since it is a step up in "class" to Samsung's QLED series above the CU8500 basic model. That being said, The Q80C will give you noticeable improvements in overall picture quality when compared to the CU8500, especially in color reproduction since the Q80C uses quantum dots which improves color. I put links below to HDTVs and More' reviews of the Samsung Q80C and CU8000 so you can compare the two models. Thanks for your compliment on this video. Much appreciated. hdtvsandmore.com/samsung-q80c-qled-4k-hdr-tv-review hdtvsandmore.com/samsung-cu8000-4k-hdr-tv-review
Yes, the Q80C is a good 4K TV. Click on the link to check out the review... hdtvsandmore.com/samsung-q80c-qled-4k-hdr-tv-review Thanks for your comment.
