Full review
The QN80H is Samsung's mainstream Neo QLED for 2026, and at 85 inches it is the biggest screen in this comparison. Samsung describes a Quantum Mini LED backlight combined with quantum dot colour, which is the usual recipe for a bright, saturated picture that still looks good in a daytime living room. The NQ4 AI Gen2 processor handles upscaling for the many sources that are not true 4K.
For gamers the specification is generous. Samsung lists 4K at 144 Hz on all four HDMI ports, along with variable refresh rate, Auto Game Mode, FreeSync Premium Pro and its Game Bar overlay. The page does not state the HDMI version, so we do not give one. Samsung does not list Dolby Vision, only HDR10+, which matters if you watch a lot of streaming content mastered in Dolby Vision.
Sound comes from two-channel speakers rated at 30 W RMS with Dolby Atmos processing. That is fine for casual viewing but a screen this size deserves a soundbar. It weighs about 33 kg with the stand and uses a 600 x 400 mm wall mount pattern, so check your wall and furniture before ordering. Samsung also promises seven years of operating system upgrades, which is a useful long-term reassurance.
