2020 QE Q80T is improved vs QE Q70R (2019)
FALD : 50 zones (5 vertical columns x 10 horizontal rows),local dimming does not turn off.
Native ANSI blacks was around 0.03 cd/m2 if peak white was set at 120 cd/m2,
Local dimming algorithm prioritizes minimizing blooming artifacts and keeping top and bottom letterbox bars inky black,but the downside is that small bright objects can look darker than reference,with some vignetting effect.
Due to the limited number of dimmable zones occasionally the local dimming algorithm would get tripped up on challenging material,causing luminance fluctuations.
With subtitles reduced blooming and backlight fluctuation.
Improvement in motion handling,native 5:5 pull-down has been implemented,so you no longer need to engage any motion setting to see smooth pans in 24 fps movies without telecine judder.
Engaging Picture Clarity Settings would increase motion resolution from the sample-and-hold baseline of 300 lines to 1080 or even higher.
HDR peak brightness on 10% window measured: 863 cd/m2
Peak light output on full field : 506 cd/m2
DCI-P3 color gamut coverage: 93.3 % (WCG aka QLED,quantum dot enhancement film)
Rec.2020 color gamut coverage: 73 % (WCG aka QLED,quantum dot enhancement film)
Like all Samsung HDR tvs during playback of HDR10 content ,QE Q80T adapts its PQ EOTF tone curve according to the mastering display luminance metadata rather then Max CLL,so once properly setup the television will preserve all bright specular highlight details,sometimes at the expense of overall APL-Average Picture Level.Note that I specifically said properly setup,because the default factory settings still over brighten the PQ EOTF even in the most accurate movie picture preset ,but at least, this can be calibrated to track closer to the ST2084 standard .The good news is that Samsung has provided a way for dynamic tone mapping to be disabled this year for more accurate reproduction of creative intent.
Dynamic tone mapping can be disabled (local dimming : high)
Dynamic tone mapping enabled (local dimming : standard)
4K 120Hz support at 10bit 4:4:4 on one HDMI (input 4) port for X Box X or PS5
Thanks to the absence of the ultra wide angle viewing angle and superior anti-glare filter implemented of the step up models ,the Q80T should boost the highest native contrast among Samsung FALD tvs this year.

Note that the EU version of the QE Q80T is different. It doesn't have the ultra viewing angle layer, and it has a worse local dimming feature.
The QE Q85T, which is exclusive to the EU, appears to be the closest model to the one we've tested QN Q80T.

The blanking algorithm has one priority: to prevent the formation of a halo around a bright object at all costs. Therefore, the active zone has adjacent zones lit on the sides to keep halos to a minimum.

-I tested the TV in hardware version No. 1 (Version No. 01)
-I recommend changing the shadow details option from the factory default "0" to "1".
- brightness measurements in SDR mode on a full screen board gave the following results:
maximum: 473 cd / m ^ 2 (50/50),
267 cd / m ^ 2 (27/50) by default,
minimum: 23 cd / m ^ 2 (0/50).
The recommended brightness level for home theater SDR (approx. 120 cd / m ^ 2) ensures that the brightness setting is 11/50.
-In HDR mode on the 10% board, the maximum luminance after three minutes of measurement was as much as 860 cd / m ^ 2.

As you can see in the results above, the Q80T doesn’t hold onto the same peak brightness at different window sizes and actually looks more like the performance you would see from an OLED panel. The reason for this is the local dimming algorithm and blooming suppression in the 1, 2 and 5% window sizes, so whites are not blooming against black backgrounds. At 10% we get the full 1000 nits performance capability of the Samsung, but this then falls back as the windows get larger to a reasonable full-screen brightness of 559 nits. This appears to be deliberate use of the local dimming to achieve better performance and less blooming with HDR content.
Verdict:
The Samsung Q80T replaces last year’s Q70R and is a strong addition to the 2020 4K QLED TV line-up from the company. It is a well-designed TV with smart looks and decent features including a FALD (Full Array Local Dimming) panel with 50-dimming zones and an advanced local dimming algorithm to make the most of the available zones. Added to this is at least one 2.1 equipped HDMI input with 40Gbps bandwidth and AMD FreeSync and VRR (Variable Refresh Rate), along with ALLM (Auto Low Latency Mode) and 4K/120fps.
It has a few downsides as it uses LCD technology, such as no reflective filter on the screen and no wide-angle filter, plus there are a few slight image issues, such as mild DSE with sports viewing and the aggressive local dimming can dim the brightest specular highlights to combat bloom. We doubt many of these points will be a deal-breaker for most users using the Q80T in normal living rooms, but it is important to point out the issues that are present. What may be a deal breaker for some is the lack of support for Dolby Vision HDR, which could be seen as a must have for 2020 TVs.
Overall, the real strength of the Q80T is its role as an all-rounder in the living room. It can do normal day to day TV viewing with no issues at all. It also has a decent movie pedigree in SDR and HDR, with excellent colour accuracy and deep blacks with decent shadow details on offer. Black bars are black and there are very few issues to spoil your enjoyment with SDR and HDR movies, plus it does correct 5:5 pulldown for 24fps movies. Normal day to day viewing also posed no issues for us during our two weeks with the TV in the testing room and even dark room viewing fared well. There are more obvious issues with the backlight in such surroundings and the black crush was also more noticeable in some scenes, plus the anti-bloom nature of the dimming algorithm does dim down the peak highlights more noticeably.
Gaming is where the Q80T will probably find its biggest fans and if you are looking for a 55-inch gaming screen with superb input lag, really good HDR performance and one HDMI 2.1 capable input, the Samsung has all of this on offer and without the risk of image retention (if that concerns you). Added to this is the recent price cut and at the time of the review, Black Friday is almost here, so it could end up an even better gaming option.
Overall, the Samsung Q80T is a strong LED LCD TV. It offers a lot for those looking for a living room workhorse for soaps, reality TV, movies, sports and gaming with a premium build and design, along with very good image quality and features. It easily picks up a Recommendation.

-We explain why the HDR calibration screens on Sony PS5 & Xbox Series X consoles don't seem to clip on Samsung's 2020 QLED TVs (including the Q80T, Q85T, Q90T & Q95T) even with [HGiG] enabled, and suggest some recommended settings for the best picture in HDR Game Mode.
To set MaxTML and MaxFFTML to 1000 nits on the Xbox Series X, go left all the way to the darkest shade on the 2nd and 3rd screen, then press 14 clicks rightwards.
To set MaxTML and MaxFFTML to 980 nits on the Sony PS5, go down all the way to the darkest shade on the 1st and 2nd screen, then press 15 clicks upwards.
