The Samsung is fitted with a six-speaker array, arranged to give a hint of spatial audio from Dolby Atmos soundtracks – two face forwards, two fire upwards from the rear of the cabinet, and two are angled out to provide a suggestion of width to the sound. For wireless connectivity, dual-band wi-fi and Bluetooth 5.2 should be more than enough for most users. In addition there are a couple of USB sockets, a digital optical output, an Ethernet input and aerial posts for the twin integrated TV tuners. The QN85B has four HDMI inputs, and they’re all 2.1 and eARC-enabled – so the television can exploit all the headline aspects of your next gen games console’s specification (, ALLM, VRR and so on) through any of its inputs. We’re bored of complaining about it, Samsung’s bored of hearing us complain about it. Samsung continues to ignore the world’s most prevalent metadata HDR standard. Well, HDR as long as it’s not Dolby Vision HDR, anyway. And the processing engine is also in charge of 4K picture quality too, of course, with particular emphasis on maximising the HDR aspect of the content it’s dealing with.
The AI element of its specification means its upscaling skills should improve the more they’re used – so (in theory) sub-4K content should look as close to native 4K stuff as possible. To deal with the actual business, Samsung has fitted the QN85B with its Neo Quantum Processor 4K. None of the materials that go to make up the QN85B feel especially premium or luxurious, but there’s no hint that it’s not built to last for the long haul. It also puts plenty of space between the surface and the bottom of the screen, so any soundbar you like should fit in without aggravation.īuild quality, as we’ve all come to expect from Samsung, is basically flawless.
And if you decide against wall-hanging (the QE55QN85B is a manageable 17.2kg without stand, though, so it’s definitely an option), the TV sits on a sturdy central foot – so it doesn’t need a big surface to perch on.
In profile, the TV’s ‘bright silver’ frame surround looks the part.
The bezels surrounding the screen when you’re looking at it are brief to the point of non-existence. Any price-comparable OLED will have its little area of thinness, and then it all bulges out where it keeps its electronics and what-have-you. The Samsung’s a consistent 27mm deep, and as flat on the back as it is on the front. Oh sure, at 27mm deep it means there are any number of OLED TV alternatives that are skinnier – but only partially.
