Our Verdict

Samsung QN85C/QN85CD QLED

Samsung Q80C [Q80, Q80CD] QLED

The Samsung QN85C is better than the Samsung Q80C QLED. It has a much better contrast, helped by a much better local dimming feature. It gets much brighter in SDR and HDR, has better color volume, is the more accurate TV, has vastly superior black uniformity, and looks much better before being calibrated.
