    Reviewers from digitaltrends have found the following***:
    At $750, the Q800T isn't cheap, especially when you consider the lack of surround speakers. The subwoofer nearly stole the show, producing some of the best low end I've heard from a soundbar woofer this year. Music playback was also solid, thanks in part to the soundbar's support for a wide variety of formats.

    Pros
    • Excellent sound
    • Dolby Atmos support
    • Easy setup
    Cons
    • No rear speakers
    • No Dolby Vision

    Reviewers from rtings have found the following***:
    The Samsung Q800T gets bright and it has impressive reflection handling if you watch TV during the day. It's a good choice for movies due to its full-array local dimming and it doesn't have any issues upscaling 480p, 720p, or 1080p content. Unfortunately, it has some uniformity issues with visible dirty screen effect, which might bother you during sports.

    Pros
    • Bright enough to combat glare
    • Great wide color gamut
    • Outstanding reflection handling
    • Fast response time
    Cons
    • Disappointing uniformity issues
    • Some artifacts with 4k content

    Reviewers from rtings have found the following***:
    The Samsung Q800T is a very good overall 8k TV, but for its price, there are better 4k TVs out there. Performance-wise, the Q900TS has a faster response time overall, and between the units we tested, it has much better color accuracy out-of-the-box. The Samsung Q900/Q900R 8k QLED is a bit better than the SamsungQ800T QLED.

    Pros
    • Much brighter than the Samsung Q800T QLED
    • Improved reflection handling
    • Much better out-of-the-box color accuracy
    Cons
    • No VRO support

    Reviewers from t3 have found the following***:
    The Q800T's Object Tracking Sound system works brilliantly. It positions specific sounds at the correct place on the screen to match the action in the pictures. Its Game preset impresses with only 10ms of lag – pretty much as low as it gets for TVs. Support for the AMD FreeSync VRR system seems to work well at suppressing screen tearing issues with Xbox games.

    Pros
    • Superb picture quality
    • Impressive motion handling
    • Excellent sound system
    Cons
    • No Dolby Atmos decoding
    • No HDMI 2.1

    Reviewers from techradar have found the following***:
    The Samsung Q800T is the first 8K TV you can buy for something at least approaching a 4K price. The screen's brightness and contrast work well with game graphics too. The amount of picture processing and control Samsung has to turn off to hit the Game mode's low input lag figure does reduce picture quality. Object Tracking Sound uses speakers built around the TV frame and clever processing to make sounds appear to emanate from the correct part of the screen.
    Find the original article here.
    Pros
    • Impressive 8K/HDR picture quality
    • Impressive local dimming
    Cons
    • No Dolby Vision support
    • No HDR10+ support

    Reviewers from trustedreviews have found the following***:
    The Samsung HW-Q800T uses Samsung’s Acoustic Beam 2.0 to create the overhead channels. The wide-range tweeters in the front-firing speakers also add width to the the overall presentation, creating an expansive soundstage. The well-integrated subwoofer also lays down a solid foundation of bass that supports the system with improved weight and dynamism.

    Pros
    • Impressive all-round performance
    • Dolby Atmos and HDR10+ support
    • Built-in Alexa and Google Assistant

    Reviewers from trustedreviews have found the following***:
    The Samsung Q800T delivers on its 8K promise more fulsomely than its 2019 predecessors. There’s a profound sense of immediacy and realism to much of the 8K footage that goes beyond the ‘feel’ you get from the same footage on a 4K screen. It delivers 8K resolution with native 4K and 8K content, combined with some of the best black levels on an LCD TV.

    Pros
    • Impressive 8K picture quality
    • Impressive motion processing
    • Excellent black levels
    Cons
    • Backlight management issues
