Hisense 85U8QTUK
The Samsung QA85QN85AAUXZN and Hisense 85U8QTUK are both premium 85-inch 4K TVs, but they target different buyers. Samsung focuses on refined picture processing, Neo QLED technology, premium design, and a mature smart TV ecosystem powered by Tizen. Hisense, meanwhile, pushes performance further with Mini LED Pro backlighting, a much higher 165Hz refresh rate, Dolby Vision IQ, Dolby Atmos, and advanced gaming features. While both deliver impressive large-screen viewing experiences, the Hisense model offers a stronger specification package for gamers and home theater enthusiasts, whereas Samsung remains attractive for users invested in the Samsung ecosystem.
Verdict
The Hisense 85U8QTUK is the stronger overall TV thanks to its 165Hz refresh rate, HDMI 2.1 gaming features, Dolby Vision IQ, Dolby Atmos, Mini LED Pro technology, and lower input lag. It offers more value for gamers and movie enthusiasts seeking premium performance. The Samsung QA85QN85AAUXZN remains a solid choice for users who prefer the Tizen platform, Samsung SmartThings integration, and Samsung's proven picture processing, but the Hisense delivers a more complete feature set.
