Samsung QN80H review: what the specs say
Samsung's 2026 Neo QLED 4K mid-range flagship, now the top non-8K Neo QLED tier. At $1,599.99, Samsung's 2026 model sits in the middle of the range — the TVs we compare run from $279.99 to $12,999.99. It scores 8.2/10 overall, calculated from published specifications across 8 categories rather than from a subjective impression.
Its strongest showing is Brightness & HDR at 8.8/10 — peak nits and HDR format support for highlight detail. The weakest is Built-in Sound at 6.8/10, which is the trade-off to weigh before buying: if that is the specification you care about most, one of the alternatives below will serve you better.
Worth knowing before you buy: replaces the discontinued QN90 tier as Samsung's new mid-range ceiling — no direct higher-Neo-QLED-4K option below the 8K models; and peak brightness not independently confirmed for the 2026 model year. Every specification on this page comes from Samsung's own documentation or a verified retail listing — where a figure is not published, the table says so rather than estimating it.
