Hands-on review of the Samsung Q8FN HDR TV.
. It is a QLED TV, Samsung’s second highest end model of 2018 behind the Q9FN.
We bought the fifty-five inch Q8FN to test, but it is also available in larger sizes up to eighty-two inches.
We expect these larger sizes to have very similar picture quality.
Note that this is a different TV to the 2017 Q8, although the naming and model codes are very similar.
Also, the European Q8 is a different TV with only edge-lit local dimming.
First we'll look at the design of the TV and then move on to the picture quality.
We'll look at the motion handling and input lag, and then compare to these competing models which are currently available.
The design of the Q8FN is great.
The TV has a thin border which makes it look sleek from the front.
The wide-set stand supports the TV well and it feels very stable.
Unlike some other high-end Samsung TVs, all the inputs are directed out the side of the TV rather than being located on an external one-connect box.
Depending on your setup, this may be more or less convenient.
The rear of the TV has the same textured plastic finish as many other Samsung TVs.
It looks good, and there are channels across the back which you can run cables through for a clean look.
The cables can continue down through the stand, so are almost completely hidden.
A single button for controls is located beneath the Samsung logo on the front of the TV.
It allows basic functionality, such as powering the TV and changing inputs.
Looking at a thermal image of the TV, the screen has a relatively even heat distribution.
This is due to the full-array backlighting, so the LEDs are distributed behind the whole screen.
Now we'll move on to the picture quality.
We'll be comparing to currently available TVs, but competing models may change as new TVs are released throughout the year.
For an updated comparison with new models as we buy and test them, see the review page on our website which is linked below.
