Design and connectivity

We look at her head on. A TV marvel with a panel that remains on the air since this model does not have front frames. The ones that exist, which are in “eclipse silver” color, are the ones that border the panel on the sides, above and below.

This delicacy is maintained in the profile, which does not even reach 5 cm in thickness, remaining at 4.7 cm for its thickest area. In the upper part the panel does not occupy more than a few millimeters.

If we finish turning the Samsung QE55Q8FN we find a very clean silver back, perhaps the cleanest I have seen if I remember correctly. It draws a lot of attention both for its vivid color and for the workmanship of its finish.

In it we find that the connections are covered and that there is a mechanism to hide the cables that is inserted into the base.

This is the rear panel; spectacular

In addition, this model allows you to connect all devices to the One Connect, a device that connects to the television with a single invisible cable and that you can hide so that only the large panel is visible.

Its base offers maximum stability thanks to its tripod design. It is made of metal and each of its three legs consists of a perfect cylindrical rod that rests on the furniture with a minimum angle to be able to maintain, without problem, the weight of the panel. This base weighs 3.7 kg. Its depth is 35.6 cm.

Further, Samsung puts at your disposal two extra bases, the Tower and the Studio. They are compatible with both this model and its 65-inch version and are sold separately. In this way, you multiply your options in terms of decoration and design.

Finally, and continuing with the decoration theme, we find Décor. It is a functionality that makes the TV not stay with the black screen when it is off but allows you to select an image to be seen, as a frame. The firm has called this the One Mount solution.

To enable this delicacy, the wall mounting is No gap, so that the panel does not protrude, being perfectly integrated into the wall and into the environment.

Tuning and connectivity

To be connected with the world we have LAN-Ethernet, Bluetooth and WiFi. In addition, we find two USB recorder ports in version 2.0, as well as the 4 HDMI inputs with ARC and CEC. We also find an optical digital audio output, RF input, double satellite, digital input and CI + 1.4.

Samsung 55Q8FN tunes in HbbTV 1.5, analog and digital in both cable and terrestrial and satellite.

Image quality and general functions

Before I forget – because it is not something that happens often – I must start by saying that Quantum nanoparticles are inorganic, which means that they do not “burn” when exposed to the same image for a long time. That said, I take this opportunity to remind you that the backlight is of the QLED type.

From here we go through the rest of the details of this 55-inch screen. Its resolution is UHD, offering a density of pixels per inch of 81 and the size of each of them being 0.315 mm.

This VA has real 10 bits of color depth, while its matrix is ​​30. The result is the perfect display of more than a billion colors up to 178º.

Together with the above, Samsung 55Q8FN delights us with:

  • Q HDR: We have HDR compatibility that includes the display of the details of the best worked content. This goes through HDR HKG, HDR 10+ and Q HDR1500, which is the way the firm calls its new and high compatibility.
  • Q Color: Colors gain in brightness and vividness thanks to the work of this technology.
  • 100% color volume: All the color volume is reproduced by this panel, so that the chromatic variety increases and thus achieving tones with greater purity and intensity.
  • Q Contrast Elite: The contrast is worked in an exquisite way, allowing you to capture absolutely all the details, including those of the scenes of maximum darkness.
  • Q Engine: It is the processor chosen by the firm to work the images constantly, allowing the best contrasts, colors and sharpness to be shown.
  • Ultra Black: This technology prevents light from being reflected.
  • Supreme UHD Dimming: It is a super developed local dimming system that divides the panel into a multitude of zones and provides the level of luminosity and brightness to each one of them individually.
