hi I'm Carl from Abt and this is the qn85c series from Samsung it's the
entry level model for their 4K neoq LED lineup and comes with a nice feature set
to go along with mini LED lighting at a more reasonable price point in this video I'll be
going over the specs and features as well as the sound and picture quality so stick
around if you're watching this on YouTube don't forget to hit the like button and subscribe so
you can stay up to date on all of the latest products we have available here at app [Music]
the qn85c has a simple low profile design with a center mounted pedestal and it's available in four
different screen sizes 55 65 75 and 85 inches the one we're looking at here is the 65-inch version
for connections you've got two USB type A's and an optical audio output up at the top an
antenna connection x-link and ethernet port at the bottom and in the middle are four HDMI 2.1s
that all support next-gen gaming features like 4K at 120 hertz and variable refresh rates because
number three also having an enhanced audio return channel in case you want to connect this to an
external audio device like a receiver or a sound bar and then for wireless connections you've got
Bluetooth 5.2 and Wi-Fi 5. you also get plenty of smart features with the qn85c I'll start off with
one of my favorites TV plus it's essentially just a large collection of free streaming TV channels
and no they're not all great but there's a lot of good stuff on here and it's super handy for
any cord cutters out there who might not have the best antenna reception you also have two
voice assistants Samsung's Bixby and Amazon Alexa which both work with the microphones built into
the TV and the remote there's Apple AirPlay 2 for easily connecting your iOS devices and you can use
Google assistant too but you do need a separate Google assistant device on the same network to
take advantage of that feature finally it's got multi-view so you can watch two sources at the
same time for the operating system the qn85c uses tizen and it seems to be a bit snappier
than it was in last year's qn85b it's easy to navigate and there's lots to explore when you
press the home button on the remote for the first time you'll wind up on the media page of the home
screen you'll see a row of apps a recently viewed window and a list of what's on now
below that is a list of recommended content that gets organized into genres and categories some of
which is paid but there's a lot of free stuff down there too that you can look at then if you look
up at the top left side of the screen you'll see a search option that lets you search for Content
across multiple platforms under that is ambient mode which is where you can choose from a number
of different wallpapers that you can display on the TV when you're not watching a show but still
want to see something on the screen and Below ambient is Game Hub this lets you play games
right off the TV no console required just a game controller which is not included with the TV just
like the recommended content there can be fees associated with some of the games and services
but there is also some free stuff here that you can try out too and finally you've got connected
devices where you can see all the sources you have hooked up to the TV and the TV settings menu where
you can make changes to the picture audio and the network settings and speaking of audio all four
screen sizes come with a 2.2.2 channel 60 watt system that works with Dolby Atmos and a feature
called object tracking sound which helps the audio follow the action on the screen and it sounds
pretty decent but for anyone looking to make the TV sound even better it also has a feature called
Q Symphony which you can use if you hook up the TV to a Samsung soundbar that also has the same
feature it works by combining the TV speakers with the sound bar dialogue stands out better the bass
is improved and you get a wider more immersive Sound Stage than by just using one or the other
now let's take a look at the picture the qn85c has a 120 hertz mini LED backlit panel that's powered
by Samsung's neural Quantum processor 4K which all combines to provide a picture that I think most
people are going to be very happy with you get a variety of preset modes to choose from right out
of the box which look nice but if you're a little tech savvy there's a way you can make the picture
even better than what those offer all you need is a compatible smartphone and about five minutes
first you'll need to download the SmartThings app onto your phone and get the TV set up on there
then you scroll down and tap smart calibration turn down the lights in the room put the phone's
camera next to the TV screen and click Start calibration takes anywhere from about 30 seconds
to a minute to do this part and when it's done you can choose from the original picture or the
calibrated picture and it's not a permanent change you can always go back to the original at any time
but it really does a fantastic job of optimizing the picture without having to pay a professional
black levels are really deep with great detail in the shadows and bright scenes offer some really
vibrant highlights all of which makes HDR 10 plus content look amazing but even watching SDR you
still get a great quality picture by our count the 65-inch model we have here has 720 dimming
zones which help keep light Bloom pretty minimal too you'll notice it a little more as you move
off to the sides which is pretty standard but that's really only when you're watching a light
Bloom test specifically if you're watching regular content even from the sides it still maintains a
lot of its quality motion looks good too we pretty much just kept it on auto since it did such a good
job handling anything from Sports to YouTube videos to movies and even though this doesn't
have any kind of special anti-reflection coating it's bright enough to overcome a room that gets a
lot of natural light gaming is another area where I think people are really going to enjoy the qn85c
it's obviously got a great picture and those HDMI 2.1 connections plus Samsung has something called
Game Bar 3.0 that you can access by holding down the play pause button on the remote in
this specialized menu you can make gaming specific adjustments to the picture and sound as well as
bring up a Target on the screen to help you aim in cases where that feature might be required this TV
is going to satisfy a lot of what most people are looking for it's great for watching sports
movies especially the ones using HDR 10 plus look phenomenal and gamers are going to get a lot out
of this one too plus you get the brightness and dimming advantages of those mini LEDs at a more
reasonable price point than a lot of other mini LED TV models if you want to learn more about the
qn85c or any of the TVs we carry here at Abt be sure to contact our home theater experts here at
