<\/a><\/p>\nContrast<\/h3>\n
The original contrast ratio in Samsung QN85A TVs is ok, but it can vary depending on the device.\u00a0The contrast ratio of this model is noticeably worse than that of many QLED TVs, because it uses an ADS panel instead of a VA panel.\u00a0The panel’s native contrast is 1370: 1.<\/p>\n
It is likely that the 85-inch and other variants of this TV use a VA panel with a higher contrast ratio.\u00a0It is also possible that Samsung can replace these matrices with VA in six months.\u00a0If the contrast in the TV is the most important parameter for you, then you should take a closer look at a similar TV with the Samsung QN90A\u00a0Neo QLED\u00a0VA panel\u00a0.\u00a0But before that, it’s worth noting that the QE55QN85A TV has a good local dimming function.<\/p>\n
With local dimming enabled, the contrast approaches 2000: 1. That’s almost double the value of a regular IPS panel.\u00a0Comparing the QN85A with the 2020 Q90T series, the model in question produces blacker colors.\u00a0As a result, many small parts are crushed.<\/p>\n
Blooming is noticeable around bright objects and subtitles, and at the bottom of the screen our device has slight homogeneity deviations.\u00a0Unfortunately, the bloom gets stronger the more you move away from the center of the screen.\u00a0The halo is denser around bright objects, but the image is more expressive than on the Q90T.<\/p>\n
This is because the QN85A has more smaller dimmable zones than the Q90T, which has larger dimming zones.\u00a0Transitions between zones, however, occur very quickly, with no visible halo of light behind moving objects.<\/p>\n
In Game Mode, the local dimming score is roughly the same, albeit for different reasons.\u00a0There is no significant black collision as with Game Mode off, but uniformity issues are more noticeable, and transitions between lighting zones are much slower, with visible halo behind bright moving objects.<\/p>\n
Glare uniformity and reflection<\/h3>\n
The gray uniformity is decent, although it can vary depending on the content.\u00a0The edges and corners of the screen appear slightly darker than the center.\u00a0There is a dirty screen effect, but it shouldn’t be particularly noticeable.\u00a0Evenness is better in dark scenes.\u00a0The Samsung QE55QN85A’s black uniformity is mediocre.<\/p>\n
It is much worse than previous QLEDs due to the ADS panel.\u00a0Glow and haze are observed at the corners and edges.\u00a0With local dimming turned on, uniformity is much better, but there is still noticeable discoloration around bright objects.\u00a0Also note that black uniformity can vary depending on the content.<\/p>\n
Samsung QN85A TVs have exceptional processing of reflections.\u00a0Oddly enough, reflections do not look the same as on other LED TVs.\u00a0Glare is more like reflections on typical OLED screens like the\u00a0LG CX\u00a0OLED.<\/p>\n
The Samsung QN85A Neo QLED has an excellent color gamut.\u00a0It’s wide enough for HDR content.\u00a0Coverage of the commonly used DCI P3 color space is fantastic.\u00a0Coverage of the wider Rec.\u00a02020 is also very worthy.\u00a0Coverage 10,000 cd \/ m\u00b2 Rec 2020 ITP 40.3%.<\/p>\n The color gamut is good, but the screen does not reproduce dark saturated colors very well due to the lower contrast.\u00a0Samsung’s QE55QN85A TV features excellent response time with minimal motion blur for fast moving subjects.\u00a0However, in darker scenes, you may notice some motion artifacts.<\/p>\n The QN85A TV has extremely low input lag, but it gets significantly higher outside of game mode.\u00a0To get low input lag in PC mode, you need to enable Game Mode.\u00a0Outside of game mode, when watching 4K @ 60HZ content, the latency is 68.6ms.<\/p>\n Average gaming latency at 4K @ 60Hz @ 4: 4: 4 is 9.7ms.\u00a0The minimum value in the same mode is reached with 4K @ 120 Hz playback.\u00a0In this case, the input lag is 5.3 ms.<\/p>\n The frequency response of the QN85A is normal.\u00a0The TV has a digital room correction function that can adjust the sound according to the acoustics of the room.\u00a0The midrange sounds good, with clear dialogues.\u00a0When the volume is close to the maximum, you can hear some deviations from the ideal sound.<\/p>\n However, the bass leaves a lot to be desired – with almost no punch.\u00a0Distortion is somewhat disappointing.\u00a0This is especially noticeable at medium to high volume levels.\u00a0Although this is normal for TVs that do not have an enhanced sound system.\u00a0It is also worth considering that distortion depends on the content, and not all users can hear it.<\/p>\n The remote control is similar to that used in high quality QLEDs like the Samsung Q900T 8K QLED.\u00a0The remote has quick access buttons for streaming apps and a voice command button that enables the Bixby voice assistant.<\/p>\n The device can change input options and settings and search YouTube, but cannot search applications such as\u00a0Netflix\u00a0.\u00a0Unlike most other remote controls, it does not use disposable batteries.\u00a0Instead, the remote can be charged via USB-C or via the solar panel on the back.<\/p>\n Like the flagship models, the QN85A is equipped with an HDMI 2.1 port.\u00a0The other three ports are HDMI 2.0.\u00a0Also on the side panel there are two USB 2.0 interfaces, a TosLink digital optical audio output, an Ethernet RJ45 line-in, an antenna input and a CI + 1.4 slot for paid channels.\u00a0There is no jack for connecting analog devices (RCA), as well as there is no line-out for connecting headphones.<\/p>\n The Samsung QE55QN85A TV considered in the review is offered for sale for 2,060 euros.\u00a0The Samsung QE65QN85A TV starts at 2,680 euros.\u00a0Samsung QE75QN85A TV can be purchased for 4120 euros.\u00a0The model with the largest diagonal Samsung QE85QN85A is sold from 5460.<\/p>\n Pros<\/strong> Samsung QN85A (QE55QN85A) is perfect for watching movies. While its native contrast ratio is not bad, the image looks better with real-world content thanks to local dimming.<\/p>\n However, blooms are still noticeable, especially when viewed from an angle.\u00a0On the other hand, the QN85A has no problem upscaling lower resolution content, and there is no jitter on this TV when watching 24p movies.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" The Samsung QE55QN85A QLED TV is a mid-range 4K model from Samsung’s flagship Neo QLED line, which launched in 2021.\u00a0Neo QLEDs differ from standard QLED mini LED backlighting.\u00a0The series is placed just below the\u00a0Samsung QN90A\u00a0QLED and differs from Samsung’s previous flagship TVs in that it uses an ADS panel that is very similar to\u00a0IPS\u00a0.
