Samsung QN800A Neo QLED Smart TV

The Samsung QN800A 8k QLED is a great TV overall. It's one of two 8k TVs from Samsung's 2021 Neo QLED lineup, and it features Mini LED backlighting. Despite its great overall performance, it's disappointing considering its premium lineup placement and price tag. Even though it has Mini LED backlighting with over 1300 dimming zones, its local dimming feature performs quite poorly. It helps improve the low contrast ratio but, at the same time, causes intense blooming around bright objects. This TV isn't the best choice for dark room viewing, but if you want to use it in a well-lit environment, it has high peak brightness and fantastic reflection handling. Gamers should appreciate its HDMI 2.1 and variable refresh rate (VRR) support, low input lag, and excellentresponse time, but some people may still notice some dark smearing with fast-moving content.
