Our Verdict

Samsung QN85D

Samsung Q80D [Q80, Q80DD] QLED

The Samsung QN85D is better than the Samsung Q80D QLED in almost every way, but they're still closely matched. The QN85D has better contrast, is noticeably brighter in HDR and SDR, and has a wider color gamut. It also has better reflection handling, making it look better than the Q80D does in any room. The Q80D has slightly better upscaling performance, but overall, there's nothing else it does that's better than the QN85D.
