Samsung\u00a0has one of the most complete catalogs regarding televisions, in fact, they are one of the most reliable firms, obviously not all the models they have released are a good option, but in most cases they are usually good alternatives.\u00a0They have been among the first to manufacture 8K televisions, however, years ago they have been left behind for various reasons, so for this year they made the decision to improve said equipment with a new line that presents important changes.\u00a0Today we will talk about the\u00a0Samsung QE65QN800B to find out if it would finally be a good option to buy an 8K television.<\/p>\n

Exterior design of the Samsung QN800B<\/h2>\n

It turns out to be a physically attractive television that, with a good placement, will show its full potential in terms of design.<\/p>\n

To put it in some way, the Samsung QE65QN800B ends up being the small version of this series, although it has a size of 65 inches, which is still a good option for large rooms or halls. The exact dimensions are 897.7 x 1443.7 x 298.4 mm .<\/p>\n

Along with a total weight of 31.2 kilograms, thus being a somewhat heavy television that we need someone’s help to place easily.\u00a0Its construction uses excellent quality materials\u00a0, but it does not mean that it will withstand a fall, therefore, we must be careful when moving it.<\/p>\n

We must look for a suitable placement to get more out of its aesthetics,\u00a0especially the front part that integrates thin bezels\u00a0,\u00a0which provide elegance\u00a0and\u00a0better integration\u00a0.\u00a0In addition, they allow the screen to have about 96% of the useful space for content.<\/p>\n

The\u00a0Samsung 65QN800B\u00a0ends up being an almost entirely slim model, in fact, the back eliminates excess space creating a modern look with fine details.\u00a0In this way we appreciate an attractive aesthetic that combines and even improves the environments.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Connectivity<\/h3>\n

It works with four HDMI\u00a0inputs\u00a0, where one includes version\u00a02.1\u00a0that improves the experience when connecting compatible devices, and we are not just talking about the signal, but also provides extra functions, for example,\u00a0eARC\u00a0,\u00a0ALLM\u00a0,\u00a0HFR\u00a0and\u00a0VRR\u00a0, formats that provide improvement.<\/p>\n

There are three\u00a0USB\u00a0ports , however, none of them include version 3.0, which seems like a major drawback, especially given the type of TV we’re reviewing.\u00a0With this type of connection we can play and record content, being two important characteristics.<\/p>\n

It is not a model that equips too many physical connectors, in fact, it implements only the most essential ones such as the\u00a0Ethernet\u00a0port , the\u00a0optical output\u00a0for\u00a0audio and the\u00a0cable\u00a0\/\u00a0antenna\u00a0connector\u00a0.\u00a0By the way, mention that it offers compatibility with\u00a0DVB\/T2\/C\/S2\u00a0tuners .<\/p>\n

The wireless theme stands out for including up to\u00a0Wi-Fi 6E\u00a0, yes, the speed of the internet is subject to the type of service you have contracted, that is, it does not depend on the television.\u00a0It also includes\u00a0Bluetooth 5.2,\u00a0which improves a lot by version and offers\u00a0DLNA\u00a0to transmit .<\/p>\n

Image quality and functions in general of the Samsung QN800B<\/h3>\n

The\u00a0Samsung QE65QN800B\u00a0has the highest image that exists so far because it integrates an\u00a08K\u00a0resolution that offers four times more power than 4K, therefore, the details are taken to a new level, however, to achieve that the optimization is different.<\/p>\n

The main change from 8K TVs that we’ve looked at in the past is that they now implement a\u00a0Mini LED\u00a0backlight that delivers significant benefits, for example,\u00a0it delivers more LED bulbs\u00a0, allowing for local dimming of close to 1,000 zones.<\/p>\n

Another benefit is that there will be deep blacks and dark scenes with more detail, as well as more control over the backlight.\u00a0Obviously the contrast ratio is higher and works with better HDR profiles.\u00a0As we can see, it offers many advantages\u00a0.<\/p>\n

For this reason, 8K now works better in terms of quality.\u00a0As if that were not enough, it integrates various enhancement technologies that work on essential parameters such as color, contrast, brightness, and even saturation.\u00a0This set of features enhances the viewing experience\u00a0.<\/p>\n

There will be other options focused on the performance and fluidity of the images, for example,\u00a0Motion Xcelerator Turbo Pro\u00a0added to the maximum frequency of 120 Hz we will be visualizing precise scenes.\u00a0It has support for\u00a0HDR10+ Adaptive\u00a0,\u00a0HDR10+ Gaming\u00a0, and\u00a0Quantum HDR 2000\u00a0.<\/p>\n

Sound<\/h3>\n

The total power of the audio is\u00a070W\u00a0, which is enough to listen clearly, although to improve the experience they integrate an important variety of technologies,\u00a0so we receive surround\u00a0and\u00a0precise\u00a0sound , especially in dialogues.\u00a0This is another important section.<\/p>\n

Software analysis \/ Smart TV and more features of the Samsung 65QN800B<\/h3>\n

he\u00a0Samsung QE65QN800BTXXC\u00a0works with\u00a0Tizen 6.5\u00a0, the latest version of this system that was created based on Linux and stands out for its optimization and security.\u00a0Its app store is not far behind and has many options that you can download according to your needs.<\/p>\n

It has up to three assistants that facilitate access to certain features, since we can control them by using the voice.\u00a0Here we find\u00a0Google Assistant\u00a0,\u00a0Alexa\u00a0and\u00a0Bixby\u00a0.\u00a0It works with\u00a0Apple AirPlay 2\u00a0and\u00a0Apple Homekit\u00a0to connect to an iPhone, iPad or Mac with ease.<\/p>\n

Appreciate that the\u00a0Samsung 65QN800B\u00a0offers\u00a0AMD FreeSync Premium Pro\u00a0and\u00a0Game Motion Plus\u00a0, features that greatly improve the experience with new generation consoles.\u00a0Finally, we find that it includes several exclusive technologies such as\u00a0Ambient Mode +\u00a0,\u00a0SmartThings\u00a0and\u00a0TV Plus\u00a0.<\/p>\n
