It’s got an AI element to its specification, which is mostly used to help the scream upscale sub-4K content as efficiently and convincingly as possible. Samsung has fitted its Neo Quantum Processor 4K to take care of business here. You can get our chapter-and-verse on this remarkable technology here.

So yes, as must surely be obvious by now, this is a Mini LED TV (or ‘Neo QLED’, as Samsung rather dogmatically prefers). This is a 55-inch TV that is very close to measuring 55-inch in total. In profile, its ‘bright silver’ screen surrounds are quite elegant, and when you’re sitting in front of it the bezels around the screen are negligible. No matter if it’s on the wall or on a surface, though, the QN85B looks good. It also lifts the screen up to a point that even a big soundbar can sit beneath it without causing problems. But if you’d rather stand it on a surface, its hefty pedestal foot is a) central, so you don’t need a wide surface, b) incorporates some rudimentary cable-management, and c) adds 3kg to the overall weight. And, unlike most OLED TV designs (which are incredibly slim right until they stop being incredibly slim), that’s a consistent depth – the rear of the TV is almost as flat as the front of it.Ĭonsider this chassis depth at the same time as its 17.2kg weight, and it’s obvious the Samsung QE55QN85B is an ideal candidate for wall-hanging. Quite apart from the influence it has in picture quality, this technology allows the QN85B to be a very tidy 27mm deep. So the QE55QN85B, quite sensibly, is an unstated and actually quite sophisticated looker.Ī lot of this is down to the physical discretion of the Mini LED backlighting arrangement. Samsung isn’t daft enough to get carried away where the design of its TVs is concerned, and especially not when a range (like this one) is intended to have the broadest possible appeal. The TV market is fierce, and brands both big and small are queuing up to part you from £1599 / $1499 for a 55-inch TV. It looks quite like Samsung is sticking it to UK consumers when you compare those asking prices, doesn’t it? But even if you decide to move to the United States in order to indulge your desire for a (relatively) affordable, yet enormous, television, Samsung is by no means your only choice. It can be yours in four different screen sizes: there’s the 55-inch QE55QN85B tested here, which costs £1599 / $1499.
