Samsung R85H review: what the specs say
Samsung's new self-emissive Micro RGB TV — replaces the QN90 as its premium LCD tier for 2026. At $2,099.99, 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 8.3/10 overall, calculated from published specifications across 8 categories rather than from a subjective impression.
Its strongest showing is Brightness & HDR at 9.4/10 — peak nits and HDR format support for highlight detail. The weakest is Value at 6.0/10, 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: new, unproven technology for its first full model year; and priced well above the QN80H Neo QLED for a brightness/color upgrade most viewers won't max out. 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.
