The Samsung QN800B is available in 65, 75 and 85 inches at current market prices of just under EUR 3,100, EUR 4,100 and EUR 6,100.The core feature of the middle of the three 8K series from Samsung, like the top series QN900B, is the "Quantum Matrix Technology Pro".The backlight is now controlled with even greater precision, which has a positive effect on the depth of the black value, the detail contrast and the contrast range.The 2022 "Neural Quantum Processor 8K enables excellent processing of any available source material. Instead of a single neural network, the processor accesses data from 20 neural networks, so that even a computationally intensive 8K image appears authentic down to the last detail.The models in the QN800B series are, as is now standard, compatible with Dolby Atmos (including the new "Top Channel" speakers for more realistic 3D sound) and come with the "Infinity Screen" with maximum display area (99 percent).The "Attachable Slim One Connect Box & One Cable Solution" (a particularly compact, external connection box that can be installed directly on the TV stand at the back or separately) is also part of the scope of equipment.In terms of HDR technology, compatibility with HDR10, HDR10+ Adaptive and HLG remains the same - Dolby Vision will also be left out in 2022.The QN800B series has a particularly wide viewing angle, in Samsung jargon the "Ultra Viewing Angle," a very low input delay of 6 ms and Ultimate 8K Dimming Pro for first-class detail contrast.Dolby Digital Plus is supported, as is the Samsung-specific Q Symphony feature.Here you can expand the sound system of the TV with a compatible Samsung soundbar.A 70 watt 4.2.2 channel loudspeaker system is responsible for good acoustic reserves.Bluetooth audio is also supported.Integrated language assistants for Amazon Alexa and Google Assistant as well as a DVB-C/DVB-S2/DVB-T2 double tuner complete the equipment.The connection equipment includes 4 HDMI inputs, 1 optical digital output, an Ethernet slot, a CI+ slot, one USB-C for camera connection, WiFi 6, BT 5.2 and 3 x USB.HDMI 2.1 features include 8K@60Hz, 4K@120Hz, VRR, HDR10+, ALLM, eARC.Let's briefly look at the differences to the top-of-the-range QN900B series.The large series has Quantum HDR3000 (65 inch) or Quantum HDR4000 (75 and 85 inch), and the speaker system is more complex and powerful in the QN900B models.The QN800B series also has an anti-reflective coating in front of the actual panel.This clever measure reduces disruptive reflections to a minimum.The "Eye Comfort Mode" provided by Samsung takes local sunrise and sunset times into account.Based on these values, it is then possible to optimize the screen settings.Furthermore, the TV reduces brightness and color saturation after sunset to protect the viewer's eyes - in the sense of the best possible relaxation.The "Real Depth Enhancer" is responsible as an image depth optimizer for a three-dimensional image.It mimics exactly how the human eye perceives depth by increasing the contrast in the foreground of the image - while the electronics leave the background of the image in its original state.The subject of "gaming" is becoming increasingly important, not least because of the current high-tech consoles and high-speed PCs.Samsung is therefore well aware of the "Motion Xcelerator Turbo Pro" feature.The first-class moving image display in 4K/144 Hz on the screen proves the excellent performance by means of accurate, high-sharp images.This also includes precise movement reproduction.Due to the compatibility with the AMD FreeSync Premium Pro Standard, image jerking and screen tearing are drastically reduced.This enables an authentic gaming experience even with HDR games.The latency is extremely low.Additional features include Super Ultra Wide Game View, Dynamic Black EQ and Game Motion Plus.The Samsung QN800B 8K TVs are also compatible with HGiG.The fact that the QN800B series is compatible with Dolby Atmos is already mentioned above in the report.Object Tracking Sound+ (OTS+) is an additional measure to realize an authentic acoustic table that fits the picture exactly.Using audio positioning and scene analysis, the system follows the movements of objects on the screen.The largest series QN900B offers the even more highly developed "OTS Pro".What can be said about the handling?The Samsung 2022 Smart Hub is kept clearly arranged, as will be shown later when setting up and using the 8K TV.According to Samsung, the focus is on "finding and discovering" content, so searching for content takes a minimum of time.The convenience is increased by the division into the three categories "media", "games" and "backgrounds".Of course, the Samsung Smart Things app is also part of it - the television automatically recognizes other compatible Samsung devices, which can also come from other areas - e.g. household appliances or similar.The middle 8K series is also suitable for video calls on the big screen of the television.Thanks to the partnership with Google Duo and MS Teams, one has the option to choose the preferred application.In addition to the Samsung Slim Fit camera and the Logitech webcam, you can also connect your own smartphone camera, making access to video calls particularly easy.At first glance, the design of the Samsung QN800B does not show any significant differences compared to the previous 2021 generation.The base is still placed in the middle, made of metal, looks solid and has a black and slightly structured surface.The narrow metal frame in silver basically shows a small distance to the display, but the gap is not uniform all around.In some positions, the display connects seamlessly, which looks very elegant, in other places there is a gap of around 2 mm between the frame and the panel.Of course, this is criticism at a high level, which you can certainly apply to this premium TV.If you keep a certain distance from the TV, which is normal, the small and different distances between the frame and the panel are no longer noticeable.In the lower area, there is a bar that is about 1 cm high, and the Samsung logo including the status LED is located below it on the right.As already mentioned, the frame is made of metal and silver and looks very elegant in combination with the black screen when it is switched off.The perforated metal structure on the sides and top also contributes to the attractive visual appearance.The back also has an interesting structure and is interrupted in some places.On the one hand there are additional perforations, for example for ventilation, on the other hand the woofers of the integrated audio system are also visible here.Together with the screw openings of the VESA mount and the visible feed of the signals of the Attachable One Slim Connect Box, the back doesn't look quite as clean as on some other flat screens.The overall depth of the Neo QLED 8K TV is between 1.7 and 1.8 cm.Display Next on: Next page
