Samsung finally started to lose confidence in its curved crusade
lack of the One Connect Box for the former
have the One Connect breakout box featured
lack of support for Dolby Vision
universal remote errs just a hair on the side of minimalism
the absence of the One Connect box is a moot point
many lights or zones there are in the backlighting
Bright objects often appear slightly washed out

Auto motion processing system is a bit over aggressive
curved frame and inferior edge LED lighting
lack of support for the premium Dolby Vision HDR format
the HDR+ picture looks slightly forced and processed
narrow deep silver frame that runs round the screen
its lighting issues are hard to ignore
home cinema system
an unwanted side effect of the screen s curvature
Samsung QLED Quantum Dot technology
No screws are required for assembly
where you have no control of lighting conditions or system settings
center brightens shadows and begins to wash out parts of the screen

Colours are again oversaturated and are not natural or how colours actually
It may not display this or other websites correctly
dimming being a tad slow in some scenes and the price

Real scenes are not as bright as our test windows

No cherry-picked units sent by brands
dearth of buttons makes its universal remote control capabilities confusing
the former uses only 40 individual dimming zones
you hardly ever see the local dimming going through its motions
can t quite afford one
source noise is ruthlessly removed from the picture

The QLED series from Samsung builds on the Premium UHD line up series by adding a wider color gamut via Quantum Dot film. It has excellent black levels as an Ultra Black Elite panel and will capture the intended increased brightness and color of HDR content with considerable accuracy.

Samsung QE65Q8DN 4K HDR QLED TV review

Samsung’s flagship flatscreen for 2018, the QE65Q9FN, is the best 4K LCD TV I've ever experienced. Its combination of astonishing brightness and the sort of black levels only OLED TVs used to manage make it a dream to watch. The lure of the QE65Q8DN on test here is that it offers much of the Q9FN’s core technology for a lower price.
