• Samsung QN90A: for us better than the QN85A, better contrast although it is much more expensive.
• Samsung Q70A: the model one notch lower, without the FALD panel and with little difference in price.

Our opinion Samsung Q80A (veredict):

Our opinion on the Samsung Q80A is not good for a high-end TV, it is very good for a mid-range TV. The 100Hz FALD panel is what we recommend for the mid-high range, the lower Samsung models do not mount this type of screen. The ADS panel (except 50 ") offers good viewing angle but is not ideal for viewing in low light situations. This TV is also good for gamers, a TV for all uses. The top model is the QN85A which is the NeoQLED Also without VA panel it is much more expensive, on the contrary the lower model does not mount a FALD panel so it is clearly inferior but it has a VA panel that improves the contrast. panel and VA.
