The way the Q8C's combination of brightness and edge LED lighting can cause some backlight distractions during dark-room viewing means we can't give it an unbridled recommendation. But its QLED approach to LCD technology delivers extremes of HDR-focused c...
Detailed accurate picture, Local dimming effective with SDR, Wide colour gamut, High peak brightness, Low input lag, Easy to setup and use, Great set of features, Well made and attractive design
Local dimming can struggle with HDR, Optimal viewing angles could be wider, Expensive
The Q8C is more a series of refinements than anything ground-breakingly new from Samsung. As a result they have redesigned the look of this LED LCD TV and expanded their feature set, whilst also upgrading the Smart TV platform, the One Connect box and the...
Stunning picture quality, 120Hz refresh rate, 75-inches of screen to view
Expensive,
In conclusion, our Samsung QN75Q8FN TV review should give you the impression that we're impressed by the TV's quality. It's hard not to be—but we would've wanted more focus on who it's for. With a 120Hz refresh rate, it can be used for casual gamers, and...
The Q8FN doesn't include the One Connect box, and its luminance spec is slightly lower than the more-expensive Q9FN, but it's every bit as good on all other counts. It's a great TV at a very good price.Sony's XBR X900F barely squeaked out 4 stars because...

Superb picture quality, Impressive black levels, Great 4.1 sound, Full-array backlight
No OneConnect box, No Dolby Vision support, Minor light blooming
The Samsung 65-inch Q8FN QLED TV manages to stand out among this year's excellent TVs with a premium design, rich feature set and performance that's on a par with the best premium TVs on the market. It offers great color, excellent HDR performance and it'...
Contrast and Black Levels are excellent for an LED TV, Best in class color performance competition with OLED, Black Uniformity (no light coming through at corners), Competent Antireflective technology, Dark Shadow Detail, Brighter than other UHD LED TVs d
Side angle viewing angle contrast and saturation loss (still), AutoMotion Plus really highlights unnatural effects to 2D shows and movies, Not as bright as some other HDR compatible TVs, Local Dimming from edge lit LEDs not very effective
Zone dimming, Color accuracy and picture processing, Functional operating system, Nice remote control
Narrow viewing angles, Delayed response from dimming zones, Tizen is not getting updates
Samsung Q8FN (US) or Q8DN (Europe) is an interesting addition to Samsungs TV line-up for 2018. It is more affordable than Q9FN but still offers a full array local dimming backlight, although a scaled-down version with fewer dimming zones compared to the...
Excellent color rendition, Deep, detailed-looking blacks, Full-array backlight with local dimming
Potentially confusing screen GUI and remote, Unreliable voice command feature, No Dolby Vision
Quantum dots in Samsung's near-top-of-line QLED TV allow it to deliver exceptionally rich color. Add in a full-array backlight with local dimming and the QN65Q8FN amounts to a winning proposition from a picture quality standpoint...

Excellent display brightness, Full-array LED backlighting with local dimming, High performance on contrast and black level, Incredibly good color performance, Great motion handling, Beautiful design, Decent price
Not nearly as high contrast as Q9FN, Poor native audio power, Weak on viewing angles, Local dimming could be better, Samsung won't add Dolby Vision support
The bottom line for the Q8FN is that it's a fantastic 4K HDR LCD TV at a very decent price. We think it actually offers even more value per dollar spent than the flagship Q9FN even if the latter model definitely outperforms it on key specs. Get this TV if...
Simply unbeatable handling of both dark and ultra-bright material, good efficiency, excellent price,
Thick panel is unappealing, remote is way too basic, can't match the infinite black of an OLED
While the new Samsung Q8F isn't perfect, as we've made clear, no TV is. Based on our extensive testing of 4K TVs over the past few years, however, we can confidently say that the Samsung Q8F (and by extension the upgraded Q9F) is the best 4K TV on the mar...
