Samsung QE55Q80T

Samsung has rather made a mess of the naming structure of its 2020 TVs, so the TV you’re looking at may not be the replacement for the 2019 model you’d expect. Take the Q80T, for example. Samsung insists it’s not a replacement for last year’s Q80R, but is the successor to the Q70R, even though the specs seem closer to those of the former.

The QE55Q80T looks much like every other QLED of the last few years, all dark silver metal, straight edges and pointy corners. Unlike the higher-end Q95T model, which has a single-piece pedestal, the Q80T’s stand is a slightly less suave two-piece design. It still has a compact footprint and the sort of low profile that makes for easy placement of a soundbar.
