    What is difference between Qled and OLED?
    jaime.leannon
    over 1 year ago
    QLED comes out on top on paper, delivering a higher brightness, longer lifespan, larger screen sizes, lower price tags, and no risk of burn-in. OLED, on the other hand, has a better viewing angle, deeper black levels, uses less power, is killer for gaming, and might be better for your health.

    May I stream videos from Netflix on QE65Q8FN?
    glen.nicolas
    over 1 year ago
    If your TV is listed as a smart TV in the technical specifications as in this case, it should have the ability to connect to the internet and run streaming apps like Netflix. However, it is always a good idea to double-check that the TV has a Netflix app or that Netflix is listed as a supported app on the manufacturer's website or in the TV's manual.

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.

The Samsung 65-inch Q8FN QLED TV is a premium 4K TV that not only offers great picture quality and superb 4.1 sound, it can even compete with OLED displays, thanks to the best black levels we've seen on an LCD display.

It doesn't come with the One Connect breakout box you get with the Q9FN, but it offers nearly the same performance as higher-end model for $700 less.

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.
