The abundant greys are just as miserable and washed out as they should be, but the flashes of colour – Sapper Morton’s shiny red gloves, the holographic billboards of central LA, the flashing lights of K’s flying car – all punch through the murky gloom beautifully. The effort Samsung has put in here has paid off. The Q80T sounds solid and the degree to which the sound isn’t restricted to the TV is impressive. There’s no surround effect as such (nor would you expect one), but the bullets fired at K’s car in Blade Runner 2049 emerge into the room satisfyingly. It’s a significantly more open and solid sound than expected at this price, particularly from a TV with more or less invisible speakers, and that makes for an engaging delivery.

We don't feel we've spent enough time with it to give The Terrace a TechRadar full review, but our hands-on impressions so far have been mixed. The QLED display (with its 2,000 nits of brightness and anti-glare layer) offers decent viewing even in the midday morning sun. However, the audio of the standard speaker is quite disappointing, especially at this price. New Samsung TV tech What's new in Samsung TVs this year? The TV you're looking for is at the top right-hand side of the display. (Image credit: TechRadar) Design While we can't speak to the effectiveness of Samsung's 8K AI upscaler in this particular model, we'd be surprised if it wasn't as effective as that included in the other models. Early verdict If you need advice on your faulty product please feel free to ask, we will be more than happy to advise you.Like the other models in the range, it boasts incredible brightness and color; as we watched Samsung's 8K promo video, we were treated to the vivd reds of a parrot nestled in a treetop, vast, breathtaking landscapes, and vibrant firework displays. Our only issue here is that the grain is a little too pronounced. You can fix it by switching on Noise Reduction or reducing Sharpness further, but the former introduces a bit of smearing to faces as characters move their heads and the latter results in a softer picture than is ideal. Films with this much grain are pretty rare these days, and you don’t want to get rid of it entirely anyway, but some TVs strike a better balance than the Q80T.

The HDMIs, of which there are four, aren’t officially 2.1-certified, but they do support the key 2.1 features, including eARC (Enhanced Audio Return Channel), HFR (High Frame Rate), ALLM (Auto Low Latency Mode) and VRR (Variable Refresh Rate). On the subject of VRR, the FreeSync format used by the Xbox One X and One S is supported out of the box, while G-Sync is apparently coming soon.

Samsung QN800A Neo 8K QLED TV (65, 75, 85-inch): The QN800A has incredibly thin bezels, though Samsung's matrixing technology that reduces the gap between where the pixels end and bezel begins is exclusive to the company's top-of-the-line Samsung Neo QN900A TV QLED 8K TV. Still, the QN800A does have ultra-wide viewing angle support that you don’t get on the QN700A, and that’s relatively crucial if you’re thinking about going any larger than 65-inches.

Although we only spent a short time with the new 55-inch model, we felt it looked just as good as its larger siblings - although the pure spectacle of 8K content is diminished somewhat by its smaller size. As ever, it is worth experimenting with the settings yourself to find the balance you prefer, particularly the Local Dimming and Picture Clarity options. By setting the former to High we increase the punch of bright highlights in otherwise dark scenes but lose a little bit of shadow detail, and while Custom is the right amount of motion processing for us, some may still prefer to switch it off entirely.

The 8K Q700T costs only slightly more than Samsung’s 4K flagship. But is it really worth investing in 8K in 2021?

While Samsung’s approach to its 2020 model numbers is off-putting, the Q80T’s performance is anything but. It’s the first mid-range 55-incher that we’ve seen this year, but it sets a formidable benchmark thanks to its dynamic and solid picture, substantial sound and typically exhaustive app selection. There's not a huge difference between the new 55-inch model and the flagship 85Q900R model – it's just smaller. Of course, while the Q80T sounds good for a TV, particularly one at this level, it can only do so much, and a picture performance as good as this should really be partnered with a capable soundbar at least. You’ll get benefits across the board, but dynamics will be particularly improved. Verdict
