Samsung Q8FN QLED TV

Although it’s clearly a step down from Samsung’s all-conquering Q9FN, the Q8FN is still a fantastic TV. Phenomenally bright, colorful and ultra sharp  it has all the right stuff for getting huge impact from today’s cutting edge picture sources.

  • Extremely bright HDR pictures
  • Exceptional contrast
  • Good smart TV system
  • Limited viewing angle
  • Some mild backlight blooming
Worth calling attention to, this is a fantastic TV for HDR content as its direct lighting system manages to produce a whopping 2,100 measured nits of light from a 10% white HDR window. 

This sort of brightness is unparalleled for the TV’s price point, and ensures that it delivers the upper extremes of HDR’s extended brightness range with spectacular effectiveness and punch. 

So why isn't it higher on our list? If you watch the TV from an angle, color saturations reduce, and backlight blooming becomes much more noticeable. 

Also, Samsung’s Auto motion processing system is a bit over aggressive, causing too many distracting side effects for comfort.
