3.52 -> hey everyone tech steve here and on this

5.2 -> video i'm going to show you guys

6.56 -> everything you need to know if you've

7.839 -> been thinking about buying the new q80b

11.12 -> now i will tell you that i can't really

13.519 -> recommend the 50 inch at the price point

15.839 -> and i'll tell you later on in the video

17.76 -> why that is but on this video we're

20.08 -> going to talk about the design of it i'm

21.76 -> going to show you guys a rear panel

23.359 -> we're going to do some demos and a whole

24.88 -> lot more so sit back and relax and let's

27.599 -> get started if you want to succeed this

29.599 -> q80b in the showroom i will tell you

31.92 -> that the television looks premium it has

34.8 -> a black titan finish and i will tell you

37.36 -> that the bezels look extremely thin

39.76 -> looking at the top here again it looks

41.6 -> really nice and it goes all the way over

43.92 -> to the side on the bottom of the

45.84 -> television there's a samsung logo that

47.84 -> you can make adjustments by pressing the

49.68 -> button right below it and with this

51.52 -> floating design this tv looks like it's

53.76 -> hovering off your table on the back of

56.079 -> it you have a plate that you can take

58 -> off and do wire maintenance but overall

60.32 -> this tv looks good so now we're going to

62.8 -> talk about the panel itself first of all

64.96 -> this is q-led meaning that it has dual

67.2 -> backlights and what that's going to do

68.799 -> for you is give you a much broader range

71.6 -> of colors in addition to that make the

73.84 -> tv just a little bit brighter than the

76 -> other ones on the market and here's a

78 -> chart of the different sizes so you can

80 -> see that the 50 inch is a 60hz

82.56 -> television where all the other sizes are

85.04 -> 120 hertz and the 55 inch model is a ips

88.72 -> panel instead of a va panel which is

90.96 -> very confusing for consumers and with

93.36 -> this research i really think the 65 inch

95.92 -> and larger is going to be your sweet

97.36 -> spot because you get the best of both

99.119 -> worlds you're going to get enhanced

100.799 -> contrast by being a va panel and two

103.52 -> you're going to be able to do those 120

105.36 -> hertz gaming options if you have a ps5

107.84 -> or xbox series x the q80b also uses the

110.96 -> quantum processor for 4k upscaling but

113.84 -> keep in mind when it comes to upscaling

115.759 -> you need to have a really good signal to

118 -> start off with so if you're upscaling

119.92 -> 1080p it's going to make everything look

122.24 -> more like 4k however if you have old

124.88 -> footage like a vcr or anything that you

127.52 -> can convert to working this tv that's

129.119 -> low resolution it's not going to be able

131.039 -> to do a good job at that and you will be

133.2 -> impressed if you watch a lot of 4k hdr

135.68 -> content because the q80b has the quantum

138.879 -> hdr 12x processor built right in and

142.239 -> samsung uses the x series to determine

144.56 -> how bright a television is going to be

146.4 -> for example the 12x times 100 means that

149.28 -> this tv can do up to 1200 nits at max

153.12 -> peak brightness so it's going to look

155.04 -> really good on hdr content the 50 inch

157.92 -> version q80b has the hdr hdr10 hlg

163.36 -> adaptive picture where it adjusts itself

165.12 -> with the lighting in the room and motion

167.12 -> accelerator turbo however all the other

170.08 -> sizes has the same features additional

172.48 -> to that it has hdr 10 plus for gaming it

175.68 -> has adaptive hdr 10 plus it has the

178.8 -> motion accelerated turbo plus which is

181.36 -> great for 120 hertz gaming i also want

184 -> to point out that this tv uses full

185.92 -> array backlights and it does have what

188.56 -> they call supreme uhd deming for better

191.28 -> contrast so i'm about to show you guys a

193.28 -> few tests that i did on this television

194.959 -> i'm going to tell you that it performed

197.12 -> way above my expectations and if you're

199.36 -> type person who doesn't play games the

201.68 -> 50 inch will be perfect for you however

204.319 -> if you're getting into gaming and more

206.48 -> it is worth the investment to go with a

208.08 -> 65 inch or larger so the first thing i

210.4 -> want to show you guys is the motion test

212.159 -> so on the top line you can see it's not

214.799 -> perfect but overall it's pretty smooth

216.959 -> compared to some other television and

219.12 -> keep in mind this tv is in cinema mode

221.92 -> and i didn't make any adjustments on it

223.92 -> whatsoever from the factory and when it

226.159 -> comes to uniformity you can see that all

229.12 -> the corners are not showing any type of

231.599 -> vignetting or bleed through so it's

234.08 -> doing a really good job there but the

236.159 -> test that really stood out was doing

238.4 -> contrast i tried the star fields i tried

242.08 -> dots i tried so many different contrast

244.08 -> tests on this television and it did a

246.159 -> great job at everything that i threw at

248.159 -> it now if you have a ips panel or older

250.64 -> tv blooming can be a problem but after

252.959 -> running some tests on this particular tv

255.36 -> it seemed to do a really good job making

257.359 -> sure that everything stayed intact and i

259.759 -> didn't see much blooming nor did i see

262 -> any ghosting that would be a deal

264.24 -> breaker on this q80b

266.72 -> been that this is a va panel the viewing

269.12 -> angles are just like any other panel and

271.28 -> when it comes to viewing angles you're

272.639 -> definitely going to lose saturation

274.24 -> whenever you go to the side but as you

275.919 -> go to the center all the colors come

278 -> back and that's what they called a sweet

280.4 -> spot when it comes to va panels and you

282.8 -> won't have these type of problems as bad

284.96 -> if you go with ips

286.65 -> [Music]

301.759 -> now we're going to talk about the rear

302.96 -> panel and i will tell you that this tv

304.88 -> has built-in wire maintenance through

306.4 -> these lines that goes through the center

308.32 -> but here's can be an issue if you have a

310.8 -> thick hdmi cable like this one it's not

313.36 -> going to fit in that groove you need to

314.96 -> buy thin ones like this

316.639 -> and as you feed them through

318.72 -> the center here

321.199 -> you would then snap on this back cover

324.16 -> and that keeps all the wires from being

325.6 -> exposed on the side

327.36 -> additional to that this tv has these

329.28 -> slots up here on the top and this allows

332 -> hot air out of the cabinet to keep the

333.919 -> tv cooler also on the back of the tv

336.16 -> you're going to find your power cord

337.52 -> input and it does have grooves for wire

339.919 -> maintenance and there's holes on the

341.6 -> back of it so you can easily mount it on

343.52 -> the wall i do believe this television

345.6 -> uses m8 screws and here's all the

347.759 -> different sizes so you can choose the

349.84 -> correct pheasant mount for whatever

351.36 -> television you decide to buy now when it

353.84 -> comes to inputs the 50 inch model has

356.16 -> two usbs a fiber optic output

359.199 -> four hdmi 2.0s and one of them is for

362.639 -> e-arc for sound bars addition to that

364.96 -> you have a lan connection for hooking up

366.8 -> to a router a ex link for service guys

369.52 -> or connecting it to presentation

371.36 -> software as well as atsc 2.0 tv tuner

375.52 -> and this is a shame because the 50 inch

377.44 -> has a 60 hertz panel you don't get those

379.84 -> premium inputs because the panel cannot

381.919 -> support it however if you get the 55 or

384.8 -> larger you're going to be able to get

386.639 -> the hdmi 2.1 on all four inputs and

389.759 -> that's going to be great for people who

391.199 -> want to hook up the newer generation

393.039 -> consoles

417.199 -> when it comes to gaming you're going to

418.479 -> really enjoy this television if you're

420.08 -> doing everything is 60 hertz i took the

422.639 -> xbox series x and i tried to put it

424.8 -> through the test to see if i could get

426.24 -> more resolution out of it and

428.4 -> this is what i got so looking at the

430.24 -> details you can see that this tv does

432.16 -> not support 120 hertz but again if you

434.639 -> get those larger sizes you have no

436.479 -> problem but let's go and check a few

438.24 -> other things under display options i can

440.639 -> do 440 1080p or 720p and when i switch

444.319 -> to resolution i still don't see an

446.08 -> option for 120 so let's go down to 1080p

448.88 -> even at 1080p

450.4 -> it will not do 120. so now let's

453.28 -> manually override the system and see if

455.039 -> we can get it to switch

456.639 -> if i go over here and i go back to 1440

459.28 -> you see there's an option for 60 hertz

461.52 -> but if i toggle over to 120

464.4 -> this is what happens i get this mode is

466.879 -> not supported now under 1080p i still

469.759 -> have an option to go down to 120 hertz

472.479 -> and let's see what happens i get the

474.24 -> same mode that this does not support 120

477.28 -> hertz no matter what setting i use now

480.08 -> you can see why the 50 inch may not be

482.08 -> the best value at 60 hertz because even

484.8 -> the samsung tu 7000 which is their entry

487.52 -> level from 2020 can do 1080p at 120

491.68 -> hertz where

492.8 -> this more expensive television catch so

494.879 -> what i'm thinking is that this tv has

497.52 -> tizen 6.5 which is a new operating

499.84 -> system

500.96 -> i think it just needs an update to fix

502.8 -> that so you can do some at least 1080p

505.52 -> gaming at 120 hertz and here's some

507.919 -> other specs i want to share on this

509.52 -> particular model first of all besides

511.28 -> the 60 hertz i did an input lag test and

513.919 -> it has three settings and the lowest

515.519 -> settings i was able to get is 11.5

517.44 -> milliseconds it does support auto low

519.76 -> latency as well as vrr whenever using

522.24 -> freesync it also has a feature called

524.399 -> gaming motion plus

526 -> super ultra wide gaming view plus it

528.399 -> does have on screen graphics and this

530.64 -> model again has motion accelerated turbo

533.12 -> not the plus and here's what the gaming

535.12 -> on-screen menu looks like so you can

536.72 -> change the input lag to go fast all the

538.399 -> way to the fastest

540.08 -> over here you can go from standard

542.72 -> and you can change these different

544.399 -> settings for gaming so it depends on

546.64 -> what you're playing and that's going to

548.08 -> also change the input lag

550.08 -> over here you have the screen size and

551.76 -> some of these are grayed out you also

553.76 -> have tv speakers

556.399 -> and this is you have a receiver or a

558.959 -> bluetooth speaker hooked up

561.68 -> you have a help guide and then over here

563.68 -> you have gaming settings that takes you

565.2 -> to the main menu

566.8 -> and inside of here you can have surround

569.12 -> sound to immerse yourself

571.36 -> you can change the black levels

573.44 -> and you do have what they call game

575.12 -> motion plus

576.8 -> and this is where you can reduce or

578.8 -> increase the judder

580.48 -> and play led clear motion it could be

583.2 -> this tv or the game but you can see game

585.6 -> hdr is grayed out and i'm thinking is

588.399 -> because this is the 60 hertz model and

590.8 -> you need those larger sizes there's a

592.64 -> remote control that comes with it and

594.16 -> pretty much all the q led new models

596.399 -> over here you have a microphone so you

598.08 -> can use voice command for bixby

600.88 -> amazon alexa as well as google assistant

604.48 -> over here you have multi-view so you can

606.24 -> play your phone as well as an app at the

608.079 -> same time

609.279 -> now this is your home button to go to

611.12 -> your main screen and i will tell you

613.04 -> this is your volume rocker but if you

614.8 -> press the center that is a mute control

617.6 -> as well as a channel changer so you can

619.519 -> use samsung plus and some hotkeys at the

622 -> bottom for netflix samsung tv plus

625.12 -> amazon prime and disney

628.16 -> on the back of it there's a solar panel

630.24 -> and on the bottom of it there's a usb

632.64 -> slot so you can charge it now we're not

634.56 -> going to spend too much time on this and

636.079 -> i can make individual videos if you want

638 -> to learn more about the operating system

639.6 -> but this is the new tizen 6.5 as you can

643.04 -> see all the icons are here on the side

645.04 -> you have a search feature

646.64 -> you have ambient mode which i've been

648.16 -> using throughout this video to display

650.32 -> pictures on it and that has a new

652.32 -> feature called nft so you can buy your

655.279 -> own pictures and own it next you have

657.519 -> your media and that basically shows all

659.839 -> the different applications and then over

662 -> here you have your menu

663.6 -> which goes into your settings

665.6 -> and down here you have all kind of

667.2 -> different picture settings sound

668.64 -> settings everything that you need

671.2 -> over here shows connected devices so

673.12 -> anything you plug into the back of it

674.88 -> it's going to show like the xbox here

677.76 -> any usbs plugged into it as well as

680.64 -> connecting it to a pc it'll all be right

682.88 -> here

683.76 -> now when it comes to multi-view this is

685.92 -> a feature where you can have a

687.92 -> application on one side of the screen

690.16 -> and display your smartphone on the other

692.48 -> side of the screen in addition to that

694.8 -> they do have some applications built

696.72 -> into this television if you hook up a

698.72 -> webcam you can use it to monitor

701.2 -> yourself while you're doing workouts

702.56 -> which is pretty cool

704 -> other things i will talk about is that

706.32 -> if you go into your settings here

710 -> you have your picture mode

712.079 -> sound settings and on this tv you can

715.12 -> hook up your speakers and if you plug in

718 -> certain devices you can play your audio

721.76 -> out of two sets of speakers which is a

723.6 -> cool feature and lg's been doing that

725.76 -> for years

726.88 -> over here you have connection where you

728.959 -> can see your network you can change your

730.88 -> inputs gaming mode and yes this tv does

733.519 -> have apple airplay but it doesn't have

736.16 -> apple home kit so you can send your

738.24 -> iphone over to it as well as screen

740.88 -> sharing from like a samsung device it'll

742.88 -> work just fine under broadcasting you

745.68 -> have different providers so you can hook

747.76 -> up an antenna to it it doesn't have the

750.399 -> newer atsc 3.0 tuner for 4k but it will

754.16 -> do over to air up to 1080p

756.56 -> and then over here under general privacy

759.12 -> you have features like your intelligent

761.12 -> mode

762.24 -> you can set up your voice commands and

764 -> that's going to work with google

766.079 -> alexa as well as bixby

768.56 -> over here you have system management

770.48 -> where you can change your you can put a

772.32 -> pin number on it

774 -> set up your samsung account

776 -> and then your power energy savings mode

778.399 -> as well as your screen options

780.88 -> so for the most part that's pretty much

782.88 -> everything you need to know about this

784.24 -> operating system

785.76 -> samsung does have a role book bus

788.639 -> samsung does have a robust application

790.88 -> store so you can find just about any

793.36 -> apps that you like in fact i think

795.68 -> samsung has more apps than all his

797.44 -> competitors out there so

799.2 -> that'll be a good way if you want to

800.56 -> look for apps and find one that you like

803.519 -> and one last thing i need to say about

804.959 -> that is that you have to log into a

806.959 -> samsung account to be able to download

809.2 -> them and if you look up here i've

811.12 -> already logged into this account

812.959 -> and

814.079 -> you can see all the different

815.2 -> applications right there so that's the

817.36 -> operating system in a nutshell and

820.32 -> i'm pretty sure you'll find whatever

821.76 -> applications that you need so let's talk

823.839 -> about some other features tv have first

825.519 -> of all it does have built-ins

826.88 -> calibration you would need to download

829.44 -> the samsung smartthings application and

832 -> once you got that installed then this tv

834.639 -> can calibrate using a current smartphone

838 -> so right here i have the iphone and what

840.079 -> it's going to do is shoot out different

842.32 -> patterns it's going to take the camera

844.24 -> in the phone and it's going to adjust

845.76 -> and give you calibration capabilities it

848.56 -> took about five or six minutes but this

850.16 -> is what the calibration looks like this

852.079 -> is after calibration and this is before

855.44 -> after

857.279 -> and before another feature i like about

859.92 -> this tv is that it has a web browser so

862.72 -> if i pull up the internet i can use the

864.56 -> remote control to look through different

867.279 -> websites or anything i need to visit

869.6 -> however

870.8 -> if you have a keyboard you just plug

873.519 -> this into the back of it and now you can

875.839 -> use a keyboard

877.44 -> and a mouse and use it like a computer

880.24 -> the only thing i will tell you that it

882 -> will work on html5 video sites but it

885.279 -> will not work on some of the sites that

887.92 -> has certain type of video files another

890.56 -> feature i want to show you guys is using

892.48 -> a standard thumb drive

894.639 -> what i'm going to do is just plug it

895.76 -> here in the back of the television and

897.6 -> you can see usb right there

899.92 -> and then it loads up automatically now i

902.16 -> haven't tried this on hard drives but i

904 -> know it does work on thumb drives and

906.399 -> you can see you can go through here you

908.16 -> can play music it does photos

910.88 -> let's say for example i got music

912.56 -> samples right there if i want to play

913.92 -> something i can just press on it

920.26 -> [Music]

925.68 -> works great and i will tell you the

927.36 -> speakers on this tv are

929.44 -> really great for tv speakers so the big

931.92 -> question is would i recommend this

933.519 -> television and i'm going to say if you

935.519 -> go with a 65 inch or larger you're

937.68 -> definitely going to be happy with this

939.12 -> television and i will tell you that this

941.6 -> is not a sponsor video i do not work for

944 -> samsung i paid for this particular

946.16 -> television out of my own pocket so

948.88 -> samsung has nothing to do with these

950.72 -> results but again i've tested a lot of

953.199 -> tvs and i will say that there's some

955.759 -> other televisions i'm going to be

957.12 -> bringing to the channel and

958.88 -> unfortunately because this is 60 hertz

962.16 -> i had to send it back and order

963.68 -> something else because at the price of

965.759 -> this unit which i'll leave in the

966.959 -> description below it's kind of expensive

969.199 -> for a 50-inch so again 65 i think you're

972.32 -> going to be fine and get the best colors

974.32 -> and details so if you like this new

976.16 -> format of videos

978 -> please let me know in the comments below

979.44 -> or if you're thinking about buying a new

980.88 -> television what kind of tv are you
