The layout of the remote remains the same as in previous versions. Samsung deserves praise for its new SolarCell remote, and the one included with the Samsung Q80B is a more recent version, model TM2280E. But if you’ve not experienced the high-end Neo-QLED lineup, you will be more than impressed with the bezels and display on the Q80B. There is still a differentiator in Samsung flagships as those bezels are almost nonexistent. Even Samsung’s more budget-friendly TVs are getting the thin bezel treatment. Slim and thin bezels are no longer the domain of more expensive TVs. The front of the Samsung Q80B is clean and has slim bezels. Also, because it is a center-mounted stand, it allows you to use smaller TV stands that may not fit stands placed at the ends of the TV. It’s a heavy monster, but I love it because it offers much support. The stand is metal, sits in the middle of the TV, and is wide and stable. A significant difference between this and cheaper models is that all of the inputs are recessed the Q60A had a few ports flush which could potentially interfere with wall mounting this is not the case with the Samsung Q80B. The inputs on the back are recessed, making it easier to wall mount the TV. The back of the Samsung Q80B is made of plastic and looks relatively plain but well made with quality materials. TVs like the Q60A come with basic leg stands, while this stand is solid metal, more prominent, and gives me more confidence in its ability to hold the TV. The Samsung Q80B is heavier than some of the more budget options due to the inclusion of a better and more robust stand. The TV is wall-mountable via the VESA option, not included. The shipping weight in the box is around 81 lbs, and the TV itself weighs in at 53 lbs, 62 lbs with the stand. The TV comes well packed and protected, and our unit was in perfect condition. Their flagship Neo-QLEDs on the high end of the price scale have influential design cues, but TVs in the mid-range to the high end of the budget range all have very similar aesthetics. In terms of aesthetics, these days, I do not see many significant differences between Samsung’s price ranges. ![]() Model Number: QN65Q80BAFXZA What’s In The Box.Samsung remote: SolarCell Remote TM2280E.Product Size (W x H x D) With Stand in inches: 56.9″ x 35.7″ x 11.4″.Product Size (W x H x D) Without Stand in inches: 56.9″ x x 32.7″ x 2.2″.Electronic Program Guide (Channel Guide): Yes.Dimming Technology: Micro Dimming (Supreme UHD Dimming).HDR (High-Dynamic Range): Certified(HDR10+ Adaptive & HDR10+ GAMING).Color: 100% Color Volume with Quantum Dot.HOW TO: Change system date in OS X from Terminal It is worth buying over something like the Q60A if you can pay the extra dollars. We would consider this model to be more in the mid-tier range for Samsung, and we have reviewed the more budget-friendly Q60A, which is excellent for the price, but this Q80B is better and also earns a Top Pick from us. The US$1,499 2022 65″ 4K Samsung Q80B QLED TV holds all of Samsung’s excellence at a smaller, more attainable price. Samsung’s midrange and budget options are still excellent for their class. But if you’re still looking for excellence but don’t want to pay the price. ![]() Their Neo-QLED technology combined with 4K and 8K resolutions is a marvel to behold. I think Samsung’s flagship TVs are excellent. The 2022 65″ 4K Samsung Q80B QLED TV sits in the midrange area, and while not cheap, it’s also very accessible in terms of pricing. So I’ve asked them to send me other models that are a little more affordable than the big boys. I’ve done my fair share of Samsung TV reviews, and generally, the company sends out their flagship TVs which can cost a pretty penny.
