Samsung’s QLED family continues to grow unstoppable in 2021 with another of its outstanding models, the Samsung Q80A. It is an excellent option to enjoy the remarkable quality of its 2021 panels but without reaching the expense of other models such as the Samsung QE65QN95A . This model has the main novelties and gives us 75 \u2033 images in 4K resolution. Its Direct Full Array rear lighting system shows scenes that bet on detail and that overflows its capabilities with HDR + and HDR1.500 certification.<\/p>\n

Design and materials<\/h2>\n

Open your senses to new audiovisual experiences with its\u00a0narrow bezel design.\u00a0Boost your moments in front of the sofa with a greater immersion in the contents.\u00a0The thickness of these bezels is 0.9cm, being one of the most compact frame models on the market.\u00a0Thus, the Samsung QE75Q80A provides a screen area of \u200b\u200b96% of the entire front area.\u00a0Its measurements are 1670.6 x 1036.2 x 316.8 mm and it has a weight of 40.3 kg (data with base).\u00a0Therefore, we will have to make a place in the living room for this large 75 \u2033 QLED TV.<\/p>\n

Its base mixes plastic and metal to offer good stability, it is not very large and leaves enough space for the placement of a sound bar.\u00a0Additionally, this Samsung 75Q80A can be wall mounted with a\u00a0400 \u00d7 400mm VESA mount.\u00a0Its back uses plastic with a simple texture to give a neat look.\u00a0The connections are placed on the left side, with easy access if the Samsung QE75Q80AATXXC is placed on a VESA mount.<\/p>\n

We verify that it does not have the Samsung One Connect connection box seen in other models such as the\u00a0Samsung 50LS03A\u00a0.\u00a0However, the\u00a0thickness of the TV is still very good at 5.4 cm\u00a0.\u00a0That also facilitates the integration of the television in the living room furniture and much more if we decide to place it on the wall.\u00a0It includes a remote control with a microphone and that also allows its recharging using solar energy, a point to avoid the unfortunate use of batteries.<\/p>\n

Image quality<\/h2>\n

The first thing we have to highlight in the Samsung Q80A is its 75-inch VA QLED panel.\u00a0Direct Full Array technology brings out all the charms of the TV with an intelligent backlight system.\u00a0The\u00a0QLED 4K\u00a0processor\u00a0with Artificial Intelligence\u00a0processes the received images and manages the lighting in a realistic way.\u00a0This achieves a high level of fidelity to the original content, with dazzling light areas and deep blacks.<\/p>\n

Its performance is also evident with its support for\u00a0HDR10 + and Quantum HDR 1500 content.\u00a0It has a high level of brightness to show much more realistic scenes and an outstanding level of detail.\u00a0Therefore, we check how the images are faithful when different light sources and a dark area are mixed.\u00a0Added to all this is its 100% color volume with Samsung’s Quantum dot technology.\u00a0Covers\u00a0100% of the DCI-P3 color space\u00a0to provide a faithful experience with prominent colors.<\/p>\n

Connectivity and sound of the Samsung 75Q80A<\/h2>\n
