You will experience some blooming around bright objects and text set against a black or dark background; this will also depend on the content you are watching. However, it won't be severe.
I assume you are referring to the CU8500 which is a UK model and is the equivalent to the CU8000 US model. In my opinion, the Q80C is worth the extra money since it is a step up in "class" to Samsung's QLED series above the CU8500 basic model. That being said, The Q80C will give you noticeable improvements in overall picture quality when compared to the CU8500, especially in color reproduction since the Q80C uses quantum dots which improves color. I put links below to HDTVs and More' reviews of the Samsung Q80C and CU8000 so you can compare the two models. Thanks for your compliment on this video. Much appreciated. hdtvsandmore.com/samsung-q80c-qled-4k-hdr-tv-review hdtvsandmore.com/samsung-cu8000-4k-hdr-tv-review
I have been thinking about buying this tv, how is it for accessing video or movies from an external usb drive, my old tv was easy, just look for input, find drive, find file, click play.
I didn't use the USB inputs during my review of the Q80C; however, in past reviews of other Samsung TVs I have used the USB port to view 4K and 1080p video clips without any issure. So I suspect the results should be the same with the Q80C. Thanks for your comments.
I'm not much of a gamer, but according to my research, all three of the TVs you mentioned are good for gaming and feature advanced gaming features such as 4K @120Hz and VRR. Additionally, the Sony X85L is optimized for the PS5 gaming console, and features Auto HDR Tone Mapping. That being said, I would personally choose the LG C2 (in a larger screen size) because I prefer the OLED pictue quality over the LED picture quality of the X85L and Q80C. Thanks for your comment.
@@hdtvsandmore1321 thank you for answer! Yeah, I lean more towards LG, but can't afford a larger screen size than 42" they are much more expensive and im also saving a money for a new car, but I sit 2 meters from tv, so I think this size should be fine, just scared a little of burn in, I wish it would last five years
I understand that the price of a larger OLED screen size can be an issue. But as you said, the 42" LG C2 works for you and thats all that matters. As far as burn-in on OLED TVs, its much less of an issue now since technolgy has been improved to lessen its impact. However, its still not a bad idea to take the necessary precautions to limit the impact of OLED TV burn-in. Thanks for your comments.
To smooth motion, try going to the "Picture Clarity Settings" menu, turning on the "Picture Clarity" setting, and use the "Blur Reduction" and/or "Judder Reduction" features depending on the type of content you are watching. I Hope this helps.
I need help i want to get either q80c vs qn85c vs qn90c but not sure which one is best i heard lots of problems with the qn90c any help would be appreciated
All the models you mentioned are good TVs. I did some quick research on any issues with the QN90C and found that the issues some users are having are not widespread. Some of the issues were not a direct fault of the TV but how a particular source connected to the TV may have caused some compatibility issues. That being said, I wouldn't personally avoid the QN90C and consider it a solid-performing TV. So in my opinion the QN90C would be the best choice of the models you are considering as it does have the best overall picture quality in the group. Hope this helps. Thanks for your comment.
@hdtvsandmore1321 Thank you for your reply, i really appreciate it. It has cleared a lot of misconceptions. Because i saw a review by IGN mainly and other reviewers, and they spoke about how transation from white to black pictures can be a problem as in its noticeable, especially when gaming. Just for calrity, how is it caused? How would i avoid that mistake?
There isn't much you can do about this since its a local dimming issue most likely caused by the TVs processing or algorithm Samsung is using. Hopefully Samsung will address this issue with this years new models. Thanks for your comments.
I checked again and according to my source, Display Specifications, and my website article, the 50" and 85" models use VA panels whereas the 55", 65" and 75" models use IPS panels. Thanks for your comment.
I didn't experience backlight bleed issues on the unit I used for evaluation. Thanks for your comments. However, there was some blooming around bright objects and subtitles. Thanks for your comments.
I bought one, Dolby Atmos was grayed out, watched many videos and read about it, could never get it to work, even talked to Samsung. A lot of settings were grayed out.

@@hdtvsandmore1321 Nope it just said how to turn it on, On my TV Dolby Atmos is grayed out so you can't click on it to turn it on. I sent another message to them on that link you sent. Thanks for trying.

@@hdtvsandmore1321 I've tried everything you mentioned except checking about apps running in the back ground. one thing I wonder about is the home screen, the last site or whatever you were watching is their, the TV automatically goes to it, also I saw that you should be watching something like netflix and have it on a movie or show that supports Dolby Atmos.
Yes, the Q80C is a good 4K TV. Click on the link to check out the review... hdtvsandmore.com/samsung-q80c-qled-4k-hdr-tv-review Thanks for your comment.
I am very close on getting this tv!
I am worried about the blooming… is it like very noticeable when you completely sit infront of the TV?
You will experience some blooming around bright objects and text set against a black or dark background; this will also depend on the content you are watching. However, it won't be severe.
I am replacing my TV in the next few days, is this TV worth the extra money over the 65" 8500 model?
Great presentation BTW.

Ótima tv, tenho a de 55pol q80c . Você teria um vídeo sobre a configuração de imagem da tv ?
Translation for @michaelsobis: Great TV, I have the 55in q80c. Do you have a video about setting up the TV image?
Sorry, I don't have a video for setting up the TV's image. You can try searhing TH-cam for a picture settings video. Thanks for your comments.

Thanks for your comment.
I got 85 inch love it the best tv I had
Great. Enjoy your new TV. Thanks for your comment.@@lisabarnes7784
From my understanding, the 65, 75 and 85 use VA panels and not IPS like the smaller models
I checked again and according to my source, Display Specifications, and my website article, the 50" and 85" models use VA panels whereas the 55", 65" and 75" models use IPS panels.
Thanks for your comment.
@@hdtvsandmore1321 So if I get the 50" thats VA, does that mean the viewing angles will be bad?
No, the viewing angles won't be bad, but you will see a loss in contrast, color saturation and some brightness which will affect picture quality.
As of 8/12/24, Display Specifications is now showing all Q80C screen sizes using VA panels.
What about backlight bleeding issues
I didn't experience backlight bleed issues on the unit I used for evaluation.
Thanks for your comments. However, there was some blooming around bright objects and subtitles.
