Samsung QN800B (2022) Series

Corking picture quality with native 8K content ; Great gaming compatibility ; Slim and wall-hangable, thanks to One Connect box

Has limits to its upscaling ability ; No Dolby Vision HDR ; Some backlighting woes

The Samsung QE65QN800B is an extraordinary watch in the right circumstance – it’s just that those circumstances are still rather thin on the ground

Remarkable 8K picture quality ; Slim, wall-hangable design with off-board physical inputs ; Half-decent audio system

Struggles to efficiently upscale sub-4K content ; Some backlighting irregularities ; No Dolby Vision HDR

Give the Samsung QN800B some 8K content to deal with and it looks simply stunning - but out in the real world, it’s a little more compromised than is ideal.

Slim and elegant design, with One Connect box ; Bright, colorful and visually dynamic images ; Good gaming support

Images can be over-processed or indistinct images ; No Dolby Vision HDR ; Inconsistent backlighting

The Samsung QNQ00B is an admirable TV in many ways, but this 8K set feels ultimately specified for tomorrow rather than for today – and by today’s standards it’s got some issues.

Extraordinary 8K picture quality ; Slim, sophisticated design with the One Connect box a highlight ; Great gaming monitor

Has its limitations where upscaling is concerned ; No Dolby Vision HDR ; Some minor backlighting niggles

An excellent TV that’s ready for tomorrow, should tomorrow ever come
