Samsung is set to roll out its 2024 QLED 4K Q80D TV across North America and Europe, bringing to consumers a lineup that promises advanced display technology coupled with smart features suitable for various forms of entertainment.
The QLED 4K Q80D series will be available in an array of sizes to fit any room or preference, with options including 50 inches, 55 inches, 65 inches, 75 inches, and the expansive 85 inches. Designed with a direct full-array LED backlight, these TVs automatically adjust brightness levels to harmonize with the room’s ambient light, enhancing viewer comfort.
Incorporating Quantum HDR+ technology, the series delivers vivid, true-to-life colors and deep contrast levels, supporting both HDR10+ and HLG formats to ensure that the content is presented with the richest details and dynamic range.
At the heart of color reproduction is Samsung’s use of Quantum Dot technology which permits the Q80D line to achieve 100% Color Volume, delivering complete coverage of the DCI-P3 color space. This feature guarantees that colors are accurately rendered, making images burst with life and authenticity.
For smooth motion and sharp clarity during rapid-moving scenes or fast-paced games, all models in the Q80D range—with the exception of the 50″ display—are equipped with a refresh rate of 100Hz/120Hz, complemented by Motion Xcelerator 120Hz technology. The smaller-sized 50″ TV offers a respectable 50Hz/60Hz refresh rate.
Powered by the NQ4 AI Gen2 processor, the Q80D TVs offer 4K AI upscaling, ensuring that lower-resolution content is intelligently converted to approach 4K quality. These smart TVs run on the Tizen OS, offering a streamlined and user-friendly interface for accessing a broad range of streaming services and applications.
Gaming enthusiasts can look forward to features like Variable Refresh Rate (VRR), Auto Low Latency Mode (ALLM), Mini Map Zoom, and compatibility with FreeSync Premium Pro, enhancing gaming experiences with reduced lag and smoother performance.
In terms of connectivity, the Q80D TV range boasts a range of ports, including four HDMI ports capable of a maximum input rate of 4K@120Hz, with the exception of the 50” model, which supports 4K@60Hz. Additionally, HDMI eARC, USB-A, and Ethernet connections are available. Audio is serviced by a built-in 2.2-channel speaker system, with support for Object Tracking Sound Lite and Dolby Atmos for an immersive, three-dimensional sound experience.
Design-wise, the TV series features a slim profile with a near bezel-less design on three sides, underscored by a new hexagon plate stand for stability and aesthetic appeal.
The price structure for the 2024 QLED 4K Q80D TV series starts competitively, with the 50” model being positioned at $999.99/€1,199.00/£1,099.00. The top-tier 85” variant will be available at $3,299.99/€3,499.00/£3,299.00, offering an expansive viewing experience for those willing to invest in the largest size.
Although availability in some regions may vary, with out-of-stock notifications seen in select retailers, this lineup will be accessible through online marketplaces like Amazon in the US and various European vendors. Consumers interested in procuring any model from the series can expect a blend of state-of-the-art technology, versatile features, and sleek design from Samsung’s latest QLED 4K offering.
