Samsung QN80F QN100QN80FFXZA 100"

The Samsung QN80F is a 100-inch QD-Mini-LED with a top-tier display and solid gaming features. HDR is weak and the smart platform is meh, but if you want massive size without a projector, this is one of the few real options. Worth it for the size, not the HDR.

The display is the star here. At 97th percentile, it's one of the best panels we've tracked. Mini-LED backlighting means deep blacks and serious brightness, and the 144Hz Motion Xcelerator keeps fast action smooth. Gaming sits at 79th percentile, which is strong. You get 120Hz, VRR, ALLM, and HDMI 2.1 across all four ports. That's a proper gaming setup. But the HDR score is only 36th percentile, which is a letdown for a TV this expensive. The audio is solid at 71st percentile with 4 channels and Dolby Atmos, but the smart platform is mediocre at 30th percentile. Tizen works, but it's not winning any awards.

Against the LG C5 OLED, the Samsung wins on size and brightness but loses on contrast and HDR. The Sony A95L is a better TV for pure picture quality, but it maxes out at 77 inches. The TCL QM8K and Hisense U8 are both cheaper Mini-LED options that punch above their weight, but neither offers a 100-inch panel. If you want the biggest screen possible with solid gaming chops, the QN80F is the pick. If you want the best picture per dollar, look at the TCL or Hisense.

Pricing sits between $5,335 and $5,620 USD. For a 100-inch QD-Mini-LED, that's actually not insane. You're paying for sheer size and a top-tier panel. But the weak HDR score and mediocre smart platform sting at this price. You can get a 77-inch Sony A95L OLED for less, and that's a better picture overall. If you need 100 inches specifically, this is one of the few options that isn't a projector. Just know you're paying a premium for size, not for the best overall picture quality.

Samsung's QN80F is a 100-inch statement piece. It's a QD-Mini-LED panel, which means you get the brightness and punch of Mini-LED with the color benefits of a quantum dot layer. The NQ4 AI Gen2 processor is doing the heavy lifting for upscaling and clarity, and it's clearly working because the display quality lands in the 97th percentile in our database. That's top of the charts territory.

This is a TV for people who want a massive screen without going projector. It's heavy at nearly 59kg, so wall mounting is a two-person job at minimum. But if you have the space and the budget, this thing delivers a picture that dominates the room.

Skip this if you care about HDR performance or want the best picture quality per dollar. The HDR score is disappointing for a TV at this price, and the Tizen smart platform feels sluggish compared to Google TV or webOS. If you don't need 100 inches, a 77-inch OLED from Sony or LG will give you better contrast and HDR for less money.

Buy this if you want a 100-inch screen and you're committed to Mini-LED over a projector. The display quality is genuinely excellent, and gaming performance is strong. It's a great fit for sports fans and gamers who want a huge, bright picture. Just don't expect class-leading HDR or a snappy smart interface.
