RTINGS
The Samsung QN85D is a mid‑tier Neo QLED TV that delivers strong HDR brightness, vibrant colors and solid gaming features thanks to its Mini‑LED backlight and HDMI 2.1 ports, but it suffers from slow pixel transitions in Game Mode and noticeable direct reflections that limit its performance in bright rooms.
