The Q8C is the mid-range model in Samsung's new QLED range of Ultra HD 4K TVs, that includes the flagship Q9F and entry-level Q7F and Q7C. The suffix denotes whether the model is curved or flat and the Q8C only comes in a curved option. Thankfully this y...

You must give it to Samsung, they are a powerhouse when it comes to consumer electronics innovation and this is no more evident than with their new QLED TV range. Australia's #1 TV supplier has not invested in OLED TV's for the simple reason they believe...

QLED is Samsung's name for its latest quantum dot LED-backlit TVs, and QLED means business. Samsung is promising black levels that you'd only otherwise expect to see on a top-of-the-line OLED TV, and colours that are not only incredibly vibrant and brigh...
I loved the Samsung Q8. So much. It has excellent black levels and absolutely phenomenal colours, especially in the brightest scenes of the brightest movies — it's a screen that spoils animated films like Frozen and makes just about the best compromise po...

Just when you think you've gotten used to a tech term or naming convention, something new comes along to throw you off guard. Samsung have gone ahead and introduced ‘QLED' as their naming convention for upcoming TVs, ditching the ‘SUHD' label that was the...
Phenomenal image quality, Beautiful and slim design...
Too expensive to recommend, Buggy sample unit...
While the Q8C is no doubt a stunning piece of tech, it's sporting newer tech from Samsung that is going to initially make it super expensive. At AED 24,999 it's a serious investment to make, but it's honestly an investment you can make later on when p...

This time around, Samsung has made their somewhat esoteric categorisation system for their tellies a bit more understandable with the C in the Q8C's codename indicating that it's a curved panel and the numeric designation indicating what series its from...
Superbly deep blacks, brilliant colours, excellent connectivity options, great voice controls...
Not cheap, fibre optic One Connect cable quite fragile, average audio performance from built-in speakers...
In field tests with reference 4K footage, the Q8C offered great views even from the edges of the screen and the QLED performed like a champ with exceptionally deep blacks and tons of detail that outperform its 2016 predecessors by a significant margin. Th...

The QE55Q8C (QN55Q8C in the US) is the third TV we've tested from Samsung's new QLED range. It sits between the Q7F and the top-end Q9F, both seriously impressive TVs in many ways. As such, it's no surprise to find the Q8C serving up exceptional brightn...
Exceptionally bright, colourful HDR pictures, Very watchable in ambient light, Pretty design...
It's rather expensive, Backlight striping around stand-out bright HDR objects, Banding with some HDR colour blends...
Exaggerated backlight striping issues may be a distraction for dedicated home cinema fans. But for more casual users the Samsung QE55Q8C is a beautifully designed and uniquely talented TV that's just about ‘out there' enough to justify its £3000 price tag...

Samsung's big TV story for 2017 is QLED which, in Samsung's case, refers to TVs that create their colours using Quantum Dots enclosed in a new metallic casing.This enables them to be worked harder than normal Quantum Dots, so that they can stably output m...
The way the Q8C's combination of brightness and edge LED lighting can cause some backlight distractions during dark-room viewing means we can't give it an unbridled recommendation. But its QLED approach to LCD technology delivers extremes of HDR-focused c...

If you're after a 4K TV with cinematic flair, a curved set could be just the box office ticket. It's a form factor Samsung has long championed. As a bonus, the QE55Q8C puts the bend into a high performance QLED panel. Not to be confused with OLED, QLED is...

This Q8C is currently available for around £1,299, which represents a significant saving on its £1,699 launch price. While there are 55-inch flatscreen UHD models available for less, they tend not to have the impact or HDR chops of Samsung's QLED technolo...

The Q8C is generally an excellent 4K HDR TV by any measure and competes well on display performance with most of today's other premium HDR models. However, its price reduces its value by a certain amount unless you really want a curved 4K TV. Samsung's ow...
