Samsung Q80R Series 2160p 4K LED Smart TV with HDR

I rarely give 5 stars. However, this Q80, 75 inch Samsung 4K UHD TV deserves it. I'm a hobbyist when it comes to tech and TV. Back in 2014, I purchased my first Sony 65 inch 4K TV for $2,900. I had to have it, therefore I didnt wait for prices to drop. That Sony Bravia 4K still function great in our master bedroom. It is 7 years old and lacks HDR and many other features. However, watching 4K content gave an amazing picture image back then and still today. Going from 1080p to 4K made a huge difference. I could not believe how real it all looked. Now, I have upgraded to this Q80 QLED 75 INCH Samsung. I am very impressed. I didnt think my Sony image could be beat because of how real things looked. But, Stupid me...with HDR and Dolby and Quantum dot technology I should have known. I just watched my first streamed 4K UHD native 4k movie and I cannot believe my eyes. Not only is the picture image true-to-life, but it pops out at you. My wife staired at the TV and then described the.image as nearly 3D. I agree, the colors are so vivid and bright and real that it's like you are there. Or, you are looking through a window at a real love scene. With millions of various colors used, this Q80 is able to reproduce a scene that was captured on a 4K resolution camera system. *Note- this is important information. I learned long ago that you will be disappointed in your expensive, amazing 4K Ultra High Definitikn television if you are NOT aware of the specific content you are watching. By this I mean that watching a 2k resolution filmed movies which is then UPSCALED TO 4k.....is absolutely NOT the same as watching a 4K-resolution camera filmed movie or tv show. Much content is still produced using 2K cameras. It all comes down to the camera resolution. Therefore, if you are disappointed in the realness or quality of a supposed "4K upscaled" movie on your new 4K tv...it.mkght be because it is not REAL or NATIVE 4k content. You can research online to see what kind of camera system was used to produce this movie or that TV show. Know what your watching because there is a huge difference. A real, native 4K resolution camera system made movie on this QLED (Q80- SSUNG) will blow your mind! It looks so real that it's like you are there. Or, the actors are in your family room. I am not kidding or exaggerating. These QLED tvs are the best of the best. How real they look makes for a much greater tv watching experience. You can see the water droplets in a water full scene. You can see grains of sand on the beach. You can see skin pores and fine wrinkles on an actors face. Its unbelievable. I went back and forth on QLED vs. OLED. I know all the differences. Perhaps, OLED is slightly better picture overall than QLED. I mean...maybe. but at this point, I believe it's more personal preferences and ones own vision. Real is real. If a picture looks dead-on true to life and real while I watch it.in a QLED, then why in God's country would I pay an extra $2,000 to upgrade to a Sony OLED 75 inch 4K tv? Makes no sense. I'm super happy with this Q80. The Q90 didnt seem like it was that much better for another $1,000+. Wasnt worth it to me. So, you can't go wrong with this Q80 Samsung and it's a reasonable price for what they give you in quality true to life picture image. Smart features work just fine. I won't nit.pick over the minor details like some other do in reviews because I believe reviews are extremely biased and personal. One man hates the color black and another man loves it. Therefore, their reviews will be slanted one way or another be cause of personal preferences. How does that help us, the consumer? So, I read reviews to gainer factual information orator red flags on products. The reviews for this Q80 Samsung were spot on. What most people said, turned out to be very true and accurate. It's worth the price. By the way, I took a major risk for the first time and bought this Q80 refurbished or whatever they call it now. However, it was brand new. In original box, all parts and accessories. It works like its brand new because it is brand new. It.only had the box opened. In turn, I was able to save nearly $500 by buying this TV. I'm glad I did.
