    What is the difference between Samsung Q8 and q80?
    saturnina_lindgren
    over 1 year ago
    The Samsung Q80R has wider viewing angles thanks to the 'Ultra Viewing Angle' layer, so the image remains accurate when viewed from the side. The Samsung Q8FN, on the other hand, has better reflection handling, which is great if you place it in a room with many light sources.

    What is the difference between q7 and Q8 Samsung TV?
    pearl
    over 1 year ago
    The Samsung Q8FN is a bit better than the Samsung Q7FN for most users, unless you want a cleaner wall mount installation with the One Connect box. The two TVs offer nearly identical picture quality, but the Samsung Q8FN has a better local dimming feature.

QLED is Samsung’s name for its latest quantum dot LED-backlit TVs, and QLED means business.
