Samsung QN80F QN85QN80FAFXZA 85"
Most buyers are thrilled with the picture quality, color accuracy, and ease of setup, calling it a great value for the price. However, a few verified reviews report serious issues: one received the wrong-size pedestal for an 85" TV, and another found a warped screen with permanent image damage. Samsung's customer service was described as unhelpful and slow in both cases, which significantly dampens the overall sentiment.
