Samsung QN85A vs Q80A: Neo QLED vs QLED - Smart TVs 4K con HDMI 2.1
Samsung Neo QLED QN85A on the left and Samsung QLED Q80A on the right, both in this case have ADS panels, both in 55-inch size. The important thing to know is that, for example , the QN85A in all sizes except the 85-inch one has an ADS panel. because the 85 -inch has a VA panel while in the case of the Q80A all sizes except the 50-inch and 85-inch also come with an ADS panel the 50-inch and 85-inch have a VA panel the main difference between both televisions and that many people They ask whether or not it is worth spending more and going for the QN85A is that it has Mini LED backlight technology that is a kind of Full Array but with a greater number of LED bulbs and smaller ones while the backlight technology of the Q80A is Conventional Full Array so to speak the main difference is the local dimming zones so take a look at this demo here in this case the local dimming is on low on both TVs and you can notice a lot of clouding and blooming effect being a little more noticeable in the case of the Q80A on the right and now I have set the local dimming to high on both TVs the clouding and blooming effect on the QN85A decrease considerably but you can still perceive and in the Q80A you can also perceive both the clouding but especially the blooming and in a more intense way compared to the Neo QLED but when I set the local dimming it is normal which is the most recommended the work of the QN85A is incredibly better there is not so much anymore neither clouding nor blooming effect or at least the blooming that there is is no longer so annoying or so perceptible and the clouding that there is is very, very slight while in the Q80A these effects are a little more noticeable although in the Q80A despite not it has Mini leds and that it has an ADS panel it seems to me that it does not do such a terrible job although with other contents the difference in favor of the QN85A story is very high it does a better job on both televisions is the local dimming or local dimming is normal when your screen is viewed from a very wide angle the yellowish blooming effect that I have talked about in other videos is very little noticeable of course it is there but most scenes could be classified as something not so annoying now well when we go to see the same scene also with local dimming it is normal in the Q80A you see that you notice more blooming some clouding and when the screen is observed from a wide angle you can also see blooming and clouding effect that can be slightly annoying but remember that it does not have Mini leds that is the main difference obviously in favor of the Neo QLED QN85A now look at this scene with the local dimming on high on both televisions on both you can see a lot of blooming effect it is yellowish on the QN85A when you look at the screen from a very wide angle but from the front that effect is practically imperceptible keep that in mind and in the case of the Q80A the blooming effect that is shown is of a whitish color it is also observed a lot when the screen is viewed from a very wide angle and from the front it is also viewed a little now let's look at this scene with the local dimming is normal on both TVs from the front they both look great just that obviously when the screen is viewed from a very wide angle on both TVs you see the blooming effect remember it's yellowish on the QN85A but from the front it does an incredibly good job while on the fact that Q80A from the front also in this particular scene the work is also very good almost the same could be perceived that way and seeing the screen from the side you can also see a blooming effect and also clouding of a whitish color and it is that with the QN85A in In this 55-inch size you can achieve 576 zones of local dimming which is unbelievably good whereas on the Q80A only 48 zones of a local dimming that would not be bad considering that it does not have a Mini led backlight now well with the game mode activated the local dimming technology on both televisions improves considerably in this case the local dimming is high on both televisions and the blooming effect you can perceive that it is hardly noticeable so keep in mind that if you are deciding between which of the two televisions to buy for the gaming section or especially if you enjoy many horror video games, probably the Q80A could be a slightly more intelligent option considering that it can cost less and that in terms of gaming technologies it is just as complete both televisions have an HDMI 2.1 port with 120 hertz in 4k with support for variable refresh rate technologies from both GSync and FreeSync however if you are very demanding in terms of this type of scenes with a lot of darkness and they have the money so there yes it would be convenient to go for the QN85A I already mentioned that for the gaming section both televisions are equally complete in terms of technologies both have these game bars that show relevant information and you can also access extra game mode image settings such as sound surround the black equalizer that I really recommend leaving at 0 because increasing it can dull the image a little, although nothing exaggerated there is also the game motion plus of the game that can improve fluidity in this case it can be activated because I have a splitter hdmi but when the console is connected directly to both televisions it cannot be activated because simply what is activated automatically are the variable refresh rates with which they are compatible and you can also activate the HDR game which is the same as HGIG or HDR Gaming interest Group that what it does is improve the brightness and contrast a bit on both televisions and of course Both televisions in their game modes and the rest of the image mode have the same parameters in terms of brightness, color, contrast, etc. so that they can better notice the differences and that is good, in terms of graphic quality, there are two main differences in favor of the Neo QLED QN85A the first is that it shows more saturated or slightly more vivid colors and the second is that it reaches a greater amount in HDR with game mode it reaches 1265 nits while the Q80A 832 nits even so it seems to me that the Q80A in terms of brightness and Colors can be more than enough for almost anyone but for those who are more demanding and have the money, the QN85A could be a better option in that regard . Its Input Lag times are very similar in 4k at 60 hertz in standard dynamic range to the QN85A. is 9.7 milliseconds in high dynamic range 9.8 milliseconds and in 4k at 120 hertz 5.3 milliseconds while in the case of the Q80A in 4k at 60 hertz in
standard dynamic range and in high rang or dynamic is 9.6 milliseconds and in 4k at 120 hertz 5.3 milliseconds all these technical data are what I found on the rtings.com page so look if suddenly some of you are wondering why I bought the Neo QLED QN85A is because I got it in a very good promotion in a store here in my country because, for example, the normal price is around 1050 dollars, which does not seem like such a bad price to me, but in that promotion that I bought it about a week ago it was at 870 dollars which seemed great to me so look at the normal price of QN85A as I already mentioned is 1050 dollars that of the Q80A the current normal price is more or less 850 dollars if you get them with that price difference of more or less 250 or 300 dollars The Neo QLED QN85A being obviously more expensive and they don't know if it's really worth it for the gaming section to spend more I would say no I would say that with the Q80A it is more than enough the performance in scenes is very complete dark is very decent and the performance in scenes with color is very good obviously here the difference is very noticeable because we are comparing a Neo QLED Mini LED against a QLED with conventional Full Array but in practice believe me that the Q80A is going to be more than enough in all aspects and in terms of its response times in the case of the QN85A it is 10.5 milliseconds and for the Q80A it is 11.3 milliseconds here there is not much difference between the shorter the response time is going to be better because the pixels are going to be able to quickly change from one color to another and this would significantly improve the fluidity and handling of the movement, which from now on I tell you that on both televisions it seems practically the same to me, it seems very, very good, even more so when they connect a console compatible with the HDMI 2.1 technologies
120 hertz in 4k and some kind of variable refresh rate before continuing I invite you if you like the video please click on the like button that also subscribe to my channel if you haven't yet, if you can acquire a channel membership and activate the notification bell so you can know instantly every time I upload a new video here you can confirm that it is the models mentioned Samsung Neo QLED QN85A on the left and Samsung QLED Q80A on the right and there is the latest software version available for both televisions, the 1904 , its gray color uniformity is good, it is a little better in the QN85A story, although there is not a great difference, the effect of dirty screen and slightly shadowed edges on both servers are a bit noticeable especially with these gray backgrounds but when looking at normal content content with more color both the dirty screen effect and the shadowed edges from my point of view can go practically unnoticed always on As for colors, it is already mentioned that in the QN85A they usually tend to be slightly more saturated or slightly more vivid but there is not a big difference from my point of view where the difference does exist and is more noticeable is in terms of the amounts of brightness in the standard dynamic range the QN85A reaches 1156 nits the high dynamic range 1222 nits and in high dynamic range with game mode 1265 nits while the Q80A in standard dynamic range reaches 653 nits in high dynamic range 869 nits and in high dynamic range with game mode 832 nits although in theory and in practice the difference is noticeable in In terms of brightness in favor of the QN85A I return and reiterate that it seems to me that in the Q80A it can be more than enough for almost any user and in terms of high dynamic range technologies the televisions support the same thing that is HDR10 HDR10 plus and also HLG none of they support Dolby Vision for these results in terms of image scaling I am using the filmmaker mode of the two televisions the results that I perceive are practically the same when the content has 720p or a lower resolution on both televisions you can notice slightly pixelated parts which is normal it can pass as something very tolerable and in fact as something unnoticed most of the time but when the content has 1080p there is the work of scaling The image on the two televisions is very good, the pixelated parts are practically imperceptible and in fact the content seems to have a little more resolution but even so it will not be able to show in 4k but from 1440 there is the scaling work The image of the two televisions is going to be very similar to a native 4k and of course both televisions can reproduce content in native 4k both in standard dynamic range and in high dynamic range without problems, just keep in mind what I always tell you and that is that to be able to play high resolution content when using applications such as Netflix Amazon prime Disney plus Apple tv YouTube among others yes or yes you must have a very good internet download speed in your homes either via LAN cable or via Wi-Fi so that the applications can load that content or otherwise those applications will automatically reduce the resolution of that content In order to improve its fluidity , the handling of movement on both televisions is very good, it is practically the same, each one of them in each image mode has this parameter, image clarity adjustments, which is very complete, they can also reduce the vibration of movement or blurriness. try the free movement of the LED although I hardly recommend activating it or simply setting this parameter to automatic where most of the time it shows the best results in terms of movement management and fluidity in scenes with camera sweeps or with many fast movements in the angles of vision of both televisions are good one of the positive characteristics of the televisions with ADS panels the colors They don't lose as much volume or don't look as whitish as they might on a TV with a VA panel, but in terms of handling reflections, although the Q80A does a good job, the results are much better on the QN85A, mainly because it reaches a higher amount of brightness both TVs are very good choices for dark rooms for rooms lit by spotlights but for those rooms that get a lot of light from windows the QN85A will do a better job of counteracting these reflections although on the Q80A the job is very , very decent the heating on the screen after almost three hours of using them non-stop also of course with video games on both televisions is normal it is not so high however when both are used for several hours with 120 hertz in 4k and some type of variable refresh rate could get to put up a little more heat but nothing exaggerated as far as to the inputs both televisions have the same 4 HDMI ports one of them HDMI 2.1 with 120 hertz in 4k and variable refresh rates 2 USB 2.0 ports
a port for the optical digital cable a port for the LAN internet cable a port for the antenna of air and a port for a composite input converter in terms of the smart section simply keep in mind that the One Remote of both televisions is the same it has the same design it can be charged with a solar panel or via usb type C port they have the same number of keys both support a button for microphone for voice commands in this case I have them covered with a case which I recommend to prevent the solar panel from scratching easily the operating system both TVs is obviously Tizen they have the same design the same fluidity from my point of view of view is very good the applications and the videos of those applications load very fast I have no complaints about it also the start after having them disconnected from the electrical network for a long time when reconnecting and turning them on is very fast, I find the fluidity of the operating system of both televisions to be very good, practically the same between both, I do not notice significant differences, however, in terms of voice assistants, what they should keep in mind is that in the vast majority of countries both televisions support not only Bixby Voice , which is typical of the Samsung brand, but also Amazon Alexa and the Google assistant, but at least here in Colombia from the factory I don't know why they only support Bixby Voice both televisions support this multi view function that can be activated from the One Remote or from the home screen of the menu of both televisions on one screen they can display, for example, something connected to an hdmi input and on the other, for example, the native YouTube application of the television or for example on one screen display the YouTube application of the television and on the other your smartphone or for example, on one screen the TV's YouTube application and on the other a webcam that can be connected to a USB port, although until now I only know that some Logitech references are the only ones compatible, both televisions have the same internet browser that is typical of this Tizen operating system works very well you can access search through voice commands but in Spanish at least here in Colombia I don't know why it doesn't accept them only in English and it works very well most of the time and of course You can produce multimedia content through different web pages if you want to, just keep in mind that advertising could appear in many of them and as for their application stores, it is obviously the same for both televisions, the storage space is 3, 85 gigabytes for both televisions is a relatively large application store but what you should keep in mind is that neither of them You can install APK files on them, that is, if they don't find the application they want within their application stores, they can't install it externally. In terms of sound, the power of both televisions is 60 watts. In practice, it seemed to me that Although the QN85A reaches higher frequencies, it is heard a little louder, so to speak. Also, if you are very careful, it can become distorted, but it is something very slight and can go unnoticed, while the Q80A does not reach such high frequencies in terms of sound . but the good thing is that it is not distorted so much when the volume is at its maximum capacity
but whatever it is, both the sound is very, very good whatever they choose in that section they will be more than satisfied and in terms of technologies both televisions they support enhanced audio return channel and also dolby audio technologies but this type of technology such as Dolby Atmos only both televisions support them rso when you connect any device compatible with these technologies to the HDMI port with support for enhanced audio return channel none of them support DTS technologies and at the end of this video in a few seconds you will be able to judge the performance of your sound systems for yourself And so, finally, if you ask me which television is more worth it, considering that the QN85A is usually between 200 and 300 dollars more expensive for obvious reasons because it has Mini LED backlight technology because it also has a greater amount of brightness, I would tell you why Of course it is more worth it if they have the money and obviously if we assume that there were no more televisions in the world and if they are also much, much more demanding in terms of performance in dark scenes and if they are always going to watch the television well placed in front of their screen because they already know that when you look at it from a slightly steep angle you can start to notice the effect yellowish blooming now well the Q80A if you have a tighter budget or if you simply want to use that surplus of money for example for a sound bar or a home theater the Q80A can be a more than enough option very balanced very complete an amount of brightness also very high for most people very good colors a very good sound system very good fluidity complete and advanced gaming technologies like the QN85 the only downside or problem would be that the performance in dark scenes for obvious reasons is not as good as in the QN85A but it may be more than enough for a person who is not very demanding or who is simply going to watch content with a lot of color or who is always going to watch the TV in a room that receives a lot of light but well I do not know what you think in this regard about both televisions which do you think is a better option in terms of value for money which one would you choose and why would you spend more s for the story QN85A or simply with the Q80A they would be more than satisfied please let me know in the comment box if you liked this video I invite you to please click the like button and also subscribe to my channel if you still They do n't do it and if they can, acquire a membership of the channel so that they can access extra benefits and also in this way they would support me and activate the notification bell so that they can know instantly every time I upload a new video not being more I say goodbye see you in the next one and I invite you so that you can judge the performance of the sound system of both televisions
