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.
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
To smooth motion, try going to the "Picture Clarity Settings" menu, turning on the "Picture Clarity" setting, and use the "Blur Reduction" and/or "Judder Reduction" features depending on the type of content you are watching. I Hope this helps.
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.
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.
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.
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 didn't experience backlight bleed issues on the unit I used for evaluation. Thanks for your comments. However, there was some blooming around bright objects and subtitles. Thanks for your comments.
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.
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.
