The bezels are thin on all sides, and the stand is center-mounted, similar to the Samsung Q90/Q90R QLED. The most obvious upgrade is the stand: Samsung uses a central pedestal, which to my eye looks a lot sleeker than the two separate legs to either side that most new TVs employ. The TV supports Auto Game Mode too, which lets it automatically switch to game mode to reduce input lag when it detects you're playing a game. Black with a minimal frame around the image, the Q80T also has a textured backside and a cable management system that lets you channel power and HDMI from their ports through the stand, making for a cleaner look. In a bright room all of the TVs in my lineup were better at reducing the brightness of reflections to preserve the fidelity of the image.

According to my measurements it does what it claims: boosts brightness at low levels (5% to 20%) as you creep up. Samsung has made some revisions to its Tizen smart TV platform this year to improve usability.

The TCL and the Vizio both showed darker, more realistic "black" in the shadows and letterbox bars, with less bleed from bright areas into dark, compared to the Sony and Samsung.

Switching over to Parasite in HDR, the Samsung's image held up better than before thanks to its ability to control blooming and maintain black levels (at the expense of brightness). The Samsung Q60T QLED occupies an important spot in Samsung’s TV 2020 lineup, ... you should consider upgrading to the Q80T (900 nits) or Q95T (2,000 nits).

The Samsung still looked brilliant, saturated and impressive, but the TCL and Vizio looked just a notch more-so in my side-by-side comparison. I compared all four in my basement TV lab side-by-side and the Samsung Q80T was indeed excellent, but despite costing more than the other three, it didn't put out a better picture. Colors were crisp and vibrant, however, and the orange of the monarch butterfly for example appeared a bit deeper and more saturated than the TCL, if not quite as powerful as the Vizio. Samsung QN49Q80T Review Conclusions In 2020,Â Samsung's TV lineup seems skewed more than ever toward higher-end models: There are three series with 8K resolution, a bunch of lifestyle models such as The Frame,Â The Sero and even a crazy-expensive outdoor television called The Terrace.
