Samsung QN75Q80TA / QN75Q8DTA 75-inch Class Q80T QLED 4K UHD HDR Smart TV (2020) (Renewed)

The TV is fantastic. Supposedly “renewed” but came looking like new and in original packing. Have had several months now days, and everything I’ve used is functional and the TVs picture is fantastic. Originally deducted one star because the delivery took forever (three weeks) which seems odd in this day and age of two-day delivery. There are logistical issues in the world for a multitude of reasons, but the chosen agent “Pilot” has an unusual/unclear tracking system, which causes some anxiety on such a large purchase. That said, the sellers service was responsive, polite, and helpful. Pilot’s client contact was also responsive and helpful, and the delivery man was very friendly and helpful. All that to say, great seller and communication, and the quality is as described (indistinguishable from new), so would buy again.

This replaced a 2006 Samsung 61" 1920x1080 HDTV with DLP technology that caught pixel disease after 14 great years. The 55" Q80T is plenty big for my space and at 40 lbs I can move it easily. It arrived in pristine condition, well packed and protected. I wanted a clear, detailed, 4K picture with wide viewing angles and no visible blur for hockey, tennis, football action. It delivers a bright, sharp picture, no blur, wide enough view angles for my home and great sound that surrounds me without a soundbar, just the TV built-in audio system. I was wary of OLED burn-in since a lot of my watching is on news channels that show relatively static screen-bottom panels, so opted for QLED and couldn't be happier. I haven't yet used its "smart" features; to me it's just a great dumb TV but I have the option of going smart if I want to. I have yet to be disappointed by a Samsung electronic product.

Huge difference when compared to my 2018 Samsung with edge lighting. Colors are amazing. Black levels are a hair below OLED, not enough to matter. This TV really shines in gaming. PC like quality graphics in the game mode. Makes me wonder how it will look on the coming next generation consoles when HDMI 2.1 will really assert itself. Bought this renewed but it was delivered with factory packaging in every way.

First thing first - TV arrived in PERFECT condition despite being "renewed". Not a scratch and in the original package. I did purchase the extra 3 years warranty which I normally don't do, but worth the extra $150 since it is "renewed". I have a friend who bought the Q90T in the store and by the time he paid for the TV, taxes, one connect box it added up to over $5k. I got the same size TV (85") with a picture that is almost as good. Yes the Q90t is a better TV, but not $2,000 better. Not even $1000 better. This is the best deal for a Samsung TV anywhere. If you have been thinking of getting a Samsung 80t or 90t, grab this deal before it is gone.Design - Again the 90t has a flatter nicer design, but honestly once you hang it on a wall, unless there is a side view of the TV that everyone can see, there isn't a benefit to the 90t design in my opinion. In fact the back curve design is perfect to get the TV close to the wall but allow space for LED strip lights to shine evenly on the wall (see pic).Picture and features - Picture is amazing, but there are a few shows where a still graphic is jumping and can be very distracting. Trying to figure out what setting is causing this. Also you need to know that the anti glare does something weird, especially if you have LED ceiling lights. There are a lot of complaints about this. Instead of it showing a pinpoint glare, it stretches the reflection across the whole screen (see pic). Can be very annoying, but once the TV is on, you won't see it except during dark scenes. Turn off all lights when watching a dark movie or you will be throwing items at your TV.Overall great TV and a great price.

Crystal, clear, and an easy-to-use remote, commands works well with wireless devices, this is the best TV I've owned.. I love it. I have had zero problems so far.

Use Case: Q80T was noted to be one of the better products in the Samsung 4K line for 2020. Wanted to get a TV to watch movies and SciFi shows with a theater like experience that would last a few years. Save on the renewed option to get near new product for a whole bunch of savings.Pros:Picture quality is awesome for bright scenes.Local TV looks fabulous. I have looked at LG previously and local TV did not look as good. I am guessing the processor ups the quality of the picture on this TV.Smart features are awesome. Very user friendly and you don't really need a FireTV or any other device to be able to watch your shows.Samsung Plus has a lot of free channels which are pretty good.Cons:Product was delivered with a remote missing. I had to contact the seller to get this addressed and get a remote, but all they could offer is a $20 refund. Considering the OEM remote costs upwards of $50, I was rather disappointed with the outcome.The blacks in SciFi shows do not look good at all. Shows like the Expanse which were in 4K/UHD did not look as spectacular as I expected to see on this TV. I guess you need to spend more on an OLED TV or look at the Nano line from LG for good quality on that.Tremendous amount of light is reflected from my canned ceiling lights. My previous Sharp TV hardly had any reflection. This TV reflected and scattered the light on the entire screen literally. I constantly have to manage the lighting to watch a movie.Recommendation: Overall, I would NOT recommend this TV. The amount of money you spend on the Q80T is not worth the issues I see with this TV. If I had to do it over again, I would buy a different brand some of which are a lot cheaper than this like TCL.My experience with customer support was not stellar either. To just get a refund of $20 for a missing remote is simply ridiculous. Granted it was not Samsung's fault considering this was sent renewed from a third party seller, but I want to make sure to point that out. My rating is based purely on TV performance and does not take into account the sale experience.
