DO NOT BUY LAST YEAR'S 2019 Q80 MODEL. The new model is so much better. The LED panel for the newer Q80 in 2020 has a tremendously better controlled LED array. The blacks are much richer and has so much more contrast than the 2019 Q80 model. This new one is 50% more capable and is able to deliver blacks that are very rich and whites that are brighter and more crisp. So, I planned to buy a 2019 Q80, but I saw the 2020 at a Trade Show. There is a big, big difference. No way am I buying last year's model. I am waiting and going to buy the 2020 Q80 right when it comes out, or right when it comes to my local Best Buy -- where I don't have to ship it.

The Q80R can get much brighter in HDR content, its local dimming performs better, and it has a higher contrast ratio. On the other hand, the Q80T has better color accuracy, a faster response time, and a lower input lag, which is good news for gamers. Both TVs have a 120Hz refresh rate and support VRR to reduce screen tearing when gaming."

Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.I read here - https://www.forbes.com/sites/johnarcher/2020/02/16/samsungs-2020-tv-line-up-explained-and-priced/#2dbafb9225ef - that the 2020 Q80s lose the ultra-wide angle technology. It's now only on the Q90s this year. If you sit directly in front of the TV, you'll be fine - however may be distorted viewing from the side.
