Samsung Q80T series (2020) review: High-end design, excellent picture, approachable price

In 2020, Samsung’s TV lineup seems skewed more than ever toward higher-end models: There are three series with 8K resolution, a bunch of lifestyle models such as The Frame, The Sero and even a crazy-expensive outdoor television called The Terrace. Among relatively “normal” TVs, the Q80T stands out. It’s not cheap, but it is the least expensive Samsung QLED TV to feature full-array local dimming, which gives it an excellent picture.

The Q80T’s big brother, the Q90T, also has FALD and I expect it to perform even better, but once again there’s an issue with price. In the 55- and 65-inch sizes the Q90T costs basically the same as my favorite high-end TV for 2020, the OLED-powered LG CX, and in my experience the OLED will have a better picture overall. That puts the Q80T in roughly the same price-to-performance sweet spot as the Sony X900H, the Vizio P-Series and TCL 6-Series.

I compared all four in my basement TV lab side-by-side and the Samsung Q80T was indeed excellent, but despite costing more than the other three, it didn’t put out a better picture. Instead its strength lies in design, with sleeker looks, an excellent remote and, yes, that Samsung nameplate. Like the others it’s also well-suited to pair with an Xbox Series X or PS5 thanks to variable refresh rate capability and 4K/120Hz input. 

If you have your heart set on a Samsung, you want a great picture and you don’t have money to burn, the Q80T is pretty sweet. But if you’re brand-agnostic, the Vizio and TCL are both better values.

Sleekness from the stand up

When you pay a little extra for a Samsung you expect superior design, and the Q80T delivers. The most obvious upgrade is the stand: Samsung uses a central pedestal, which to my eye looks a lot sleeker than the two separate legs to either side that most new TVs employ. The base is a single slab of metal, flush against the tabletop. An angled chunk of metal and plastic supports the panel, creating a nice floaty effect.

Black with a minimal frame around the image, the Q80T also has a textured backside and a cable management system that lets you channel power and HDMI from their ports through the stand, making for a cleaner look.

Samsung’s clicker is also among my favorites, with minimal buttons and just the right feel in-hand. Channel and volume keys click up and down, Ambient mode gets its own button as does the mic for voice, and even the Netflix and Amazon app shortcut keys are nicer than on other remotes: They lack garish colors and instead just match the rest of the wand.

Ambient mode is designed to show stuff on the screen when you’re not watching TV. It’s a cool feature if you don’t like the big black rectangle of an inert TV, and can display your photos, designer art, the weather, headlines and even adjust backgrounds to match your wall.

Alexa and Google join Bixby

Samsung’s homebrew Bixby voice assistant is built into the Q80T, as you’d expect, but new for 2020 you can choose the overwhelmingly more-popular Amazon Alexa or Google Assistant instead. You can select between the three in the menus and whichever one you choose will be available when you press the mic button on the clicker.  

Alternately you can set the remote’s mic to listen for the “Alexa” or “Hey, Google” wake words, allowing you to issue commands hands-free (it worked well as long as I stayed relatively close to the remote). And like most TVs you can also pair the Q80T with separate Alexa or Google speakers.

Beyond voice, Samsung’s on-screen smart TV system is excellent, with quick responses and plenty of apps, and I’d take it over LG or Vizio’s systems. I still like Roku and Android TV (found on Sony TVs) better overall, however, because they have even more apps. Just like most TVs now (including Roku), Samsung has the Apple TV app and works with Apple’s AirPlay system.

Full-fledged features and HDMI connectivity

Full-array local dimming sets the Q80T apart from cheaper Samsung TVs. This technology, which improves LCD image quality significantly in our experience, boosts black levels and contrast by making certain areas of the picture dimmer or brighter in reaction to what’s on the screen. The step-up Q90T and the company’s 8K models have more dimming zones and brighter images than the Q80T, but Samsung doesn’t say exactly how many zones each has. 

Key features

Like all of Samsung QLED TVs, as well as most higher-end TVs from Vizio and TCL, the Q80T’s LCD panel is augmented by a layer of quantum dots — microscopic nanocrystals that glow a specific wavelength (i.e. color) when given energy. The effect is better brightness and color compared to non-QD-equipped TVs. The Q80T uses a true 120Hz panel, which improves the TVs’ motion performance, but as usual the “Motion Rate 240” specification is made up (note that the 49- and 50-inch sizes are 60Hz/MR 120).

The set supports high dynamic range content in the HDR10 and the HDR10 Plus formats. It lacks the Dolby Vision HDR support found on most competitors’ HDR TVs. I’ve seen no evidence that one HDR format is inherently “better” than the other, so I definitely don’t consider lack of Dolby Vision a deal-breaker on this TV — instead it’s just one more factor to consider.

Gaming features are one of the Q80T’s strong points. It’s compatible with variable refresh rate, as well as the FreeSync and G-synch VRR formats, available from devices including select PCs, the Xbox Series X and PS5, although the latter doesn’t support VRR yet. The Q80T also accepts 4K/120Hz input on HDMI 4, which is conveniently marked with a little game controller icon. The TV supports Auto Game Mode too, which lets it automatically switch to game mode to reduce input lag when it detects you’re playing a game. (Note that the 49- and 50-inch sizes lack 4K/120Hz input and VRR.)

David Katzmaier/CNET

• 4x HDMI inputs
• 2x USB ports
• Ethernet (LAN) port
• Optical digital audio output
• RF (antenna) input
• Remote (RS-232) port (EX-LINK)

This list is mostly solid, unless you happen to own a legacy device that requires analog video (component or composite) or audio. The Q80T is one of the few TVs that doesn’t at least offer one analog input, audio or video.

Picture quality comparisons

David Katzmaier/CNET

The Q80T is an excellent performer overall, with good local dimming and contrast, excellent brightness, color and video processing. It fell short of the black levels and brightness of some less-expensive TVs, such as the Vizio P-Series and TCL 6 series, especially with HDR material, but showed less blooming and a slightly cleaner image, earning the same score of 8 (Excellent) in this category. I preferred the Vizio and TCL overall for image quality and liked the Sony X900H a bit less, but all four occupy the same general plane.

Dim lighting: I started with the excellent-looking Blu-ray of Parasite. In brighter scenes the Samsung generally matched the image quality of the others — all four were excellent overall. Differences emerged in darker scenes, for example during Park Dong-ik’s ride in the back of the car in Chapter 4. The TCL and the Vizio both showed darker, more realistic “black” in the shadows and letterbox bars, with less bleed from bright areas into dark, compared to the Sony and Samsung. The latter two were close, but the Samsung has a slight edge over the Sony. The differences weren’t drastic — all four TVs have very good black levels and contrast — but still visible side-by-side.

Here’s where I mention an unusual thing Samsung did with settings, which I liked. The Brightness control handles backlight level but there’s an additional Shadow Detail slider under Gamma (where it should be) that controls exactly that (and does a lot of the same work as a standard Brightness/black level setting). According to my measurements it does what it claims: boosts brightness at low levels (5% to 20%) as you creep up. The default “0” setting is the most accurate but cranking it up did reveal more, yes, details like the car seat cushions and floor of Parks car became more visible.

Bright lighting: These days TVs just seem to be getting brighter but the Q80T is an exception, measuring dimmer than many TVs at its level including the TCL, Vizio P and Sony, and even slightly dimmer than the Q70 from 2019. It’s still bright enough for just about any room, however, and has plenty of punch to make HDR look impactful.

Light output in nits

Don’t let the high score in Dynamic fool you. Aside from being woefully inaccurate, it fluctuated quite a bit, starting out at over 1,200 nits but falling almost immediately to around 300. Most other TVs don’t show such dramatic fall-off, and none of the Q80T’s other modes did either. 

For the Accurate measurements in SDR I used the Natural picture mode in combination with the Warm color temperature setting (the default temperature for Natural is quite blue). I prefer Vizio and TCL’s approach of a dedicated, accurate bright-room picture mode.

Unlike previous Samsung TVs I’ve tested the Q80T didn’t excel at handling ambient light. In a bright room all of the TVs in my lineup were better at reducing the brightness of reflections to preserve the fidelity of the image. The difference wasn’t massive but definitely noticeable in dark areas of program material.

Color accuracy: The Samsung’s Filmmaker Mode and Movie modes are both accurate before calibration but I prefer the former because it disables most video processing by default (see below). After calibration, as expected, it was excellent. During Parasite, colors like the green lettuce and red kimchi in the cafeteria in Chapter 4, as well as the skin tones of the family as they eat, looked natural and well-balanced. Then again so did the other displays — it was difficult to see any real color differences even side-by-side with non-HDR colors.
Video processing: As usual the Samsung aced my tests in this category, delivering true 1080p/24 film cadence with film-based sources and plenty of motion resolution (1,000 lines) with video-based sources. The TV achieved both results with a Picture Clarity setting of Custom with Blur Reduction at 10 and Judder Reduction at 0, so if I had this TV I’d “set it and forget it” right there. Note that Filmmaker Mode’s default setting is to turn Picture Clarity off, which results in less motion resolution, but you can adjust it to taste.

You can also add more smoothing or soap opera effect by increasing Judder Reduction or choosing Auto instead of Custom. Meanwhile the LED Clear Motion option makes motion even sharper with the help of black frame insertion, at the expense of flicker and a dimmer image.

Samsung continues its tradition of excellent input lag in game mode with a score just over 14 milliseconds with both 1080p and 4K HDR sources.

Uniformity: With demanding, full-field test patterns the Q80T’s screen was quite uniform, with more-even lighting from edge to edge than the Vizio, whose sides looked slightly dark, and slightly less-even lighting than the TCL. With program material I saw the same minor issue on the Vizio while the others were very similar (note that uniformity can vary from sample to sample). From off-angle the Samsung was the best LCD TV I’ve tested, maintaining color fidelity, brightness and contrast better than the others. 

HDR and 4K video: With high dynamic range sources the differences between the four TVs became more apparent, and the Vizio and TCL looked slightly better than the Sony and the Samsung overall. The Q80T’s highlights appeared a bit dimmer than the others, including the Sony, while its black levels were lighter and less realistic than the TCL and Vizio, it’s contrast did beat the Sony’s.

Watching the Spears and Munsil HDR benchmark’s test montage, the ferris wheel at night (4:51) was a good example, with a slightly gray-blue cast to the sky, and less pop in the lights on the Q80T. It still looked great, with plenty of punch and contrast I expect from HDR, but next to the TCL and Vizio it didn’t convey quite the same sense of realism — although it looked better overall then the Sony.

Brighter scenes, like the closeups of flowers and insects (3:26), showed less of a difference but the Samsung still appeared very slightly dimmer than the TCL and Vizio, an impression backed up by spot measurements of my light meter. Colors were crisp and vibrant, however, and the orange of the monarch butterfly for example appeared a bit deeper and more saturated than the TCL, if not quite as powerful as the Vizio.  

The Samsung and Sony had one advantage during the montage however: they were slightly cleaner than the TCL and Vizio in the first fade up from black to a bright sky. The latter two showed faint, subtle banding in the sky as the image brightened, while the two “S” TVs didn’t. 

Another advantage: The Q80T was the best among the three at controlling blooming, so stray illumination wasn’t an issue even in difficult mixed bright-and-dark scenes. One major reason, I suspect, was its less-aggressive brightness compared to the more blooming-prone TCL and Vizio.

Switching over to Parasite in HDR, the Samsung’s image held up better than before thanks to its ability to control blooming and maintain black levels (at the expense of brightness). During the dark Chapter 4 car ride, for example, the Q80T’s black levels were darkest and it showed less stray illumination in the passing streetlights. On the other hand those lights and other bright spots were more brilliant on the TCL and Vizio, and both exposed more shadow detail than the Samsung — while the Sony had the best shadow detail and the worst contrast. I still ended up preferring the TCL and Vizio overall, but the Samsung was much closer.

In brighter scenes where blooming is less visible the superior light output of the other TVs shined gave them more characteristic HDR punch, particularly in highlights like the sun as TK approaches the house in Chapter 3. The Samsung still looked brilliant, saturated and impressive, but the TCL and Vizio looked just a notch more-so in my side-by-side comparison.

Samsung Q80T QLED TV specs

Price: $1,299
Screen size: 55 inches
Resolution: 3840 x 2160
HDR: Quantum HDR 12x
Refresh rate: 120Hz
Ports: 4 HDMI, 2 USB 2.0
Audio: 2 Channel x 60-Watt
Smart TV software: Tizen TV
Size: 48.3 x 27.8 x 2.1 inches
Weight: 39.5 pounds

The Samsung Q80T QLED TV might be the company’s second-tier 4K set, but it passes for something superior. Minus the port array sitting on-unit, the Q80T seems every inch as premium as the top-shelf Samsung Q90T thanks to a full array backlight, local dimming, Object Tracking Sound and a Quantum processor that intelligently upscales low-resolution content.

Better yet, the Q80T costs a couple hundred dollars less than the Q90T and comes in a 85-inch model, making it one of the best Samsung TVs to feed your appetite for a big screen. And while our overall best TV rankings are dominated by OLED sets, this Samsung Q80T QLED TV review explains why it’s a worthy champion for Quantum Dot display technology, and it’s still one of the best 4K TVs you can get. Dare I suggest this QLED panel’s blacks are as deep as OLED?

Editor’s Note: Since our review ran in February, the price and availability of the Samsung Q80T QLED TV have changed. We have updated the relevant portions of the review, but our overall impressions and recommendations remain unchanged.

Samsung Q80T QLED TV review: Price and configurations

We tested the 55-inch model of the Samsung Q80T QLED TV, which costs $1,299 as of this writing. The smart TV was initially available in five screen sizes, ranging from 50 inches up to 85 inches. 

The 50-inch model has since been discontinued, while the 65-inch model  has dropped in price to $1,499. If you decide you need a set larger than 65-inches based on our ‘What size TV should you buy?’ guide, you’ll shell out $2,099 for the 75-inch model or $3,799 for the 85-inch model. Of course, you should always check the best TV deals for discounts before buying. Because Samsung has announced a newer lineup of TVs, you could find significant savings on the Q80T.

• 50-inch QN50Q80TAFXZA: Discontinued
• 55-inch QN55Q80TAFXZA: $1,199
• 65-inch QN65Q80TAFXZA: $1,499
• 75-inch QN75Q80TAFXZA: $2,099
• 85-inch QN85Q80TAFXZA: $3,799

Aside from screen size, there aren’t many differences between these sets. The 50-inch model has 40W speakers, while all the larger models have 60W speakers. Sound performance aside, shoppers should expect to see similar performance in the 50-, 65-, 75- and 85-inch makes compared to our 55-inch test sample. All five sizes offer the same display technology, number of HDMI ports and processor.

Unless you consider a single, central stand revolutionary, there’s not much that pops out about the Samsung Q80T QLED TV in terms of design. Like many of the company’s previous QLEDs, the Q80T is outfitted with dark silver metal, straight borders and sharp corners.

While the stand is sturdy, accommodates any of the best soundbars and helps conceal cables, I’d recommend mounting the TV if only to avoid colliding with one of those pointed edges. You can use a standard 200 x 200-millimeter VESA mount for the 55-inch model, but you’ll need to size up the mount for any larger configurations.

The 48. 3 x 27.8 x 2.1 inch body of the set I reviewed seems compact for a 55-inch TVs. The thin bezels lend the appearance of maximum screen real estate, while the rear housing is narrow and mostly uniform — no boxy, protruding compartments like you might find on an OLED.

Samsung Q80T QLED TV review: Ports

Although Samsung allocated similar port arrays to its entire QLED TV lineup, a key difference between the Q80T and Q90T is that this cheaper model lacks the One Connect box. The One Connect box routes all of the Q90T’s connections to a separate unit that can easily be stored out of sight. 

(Image credit: Tom’s Guide)

If you plan to hook up multiple entertainment peripherals to your new TV, it might be worth pricing out the Q90T for the One Connect box’s convenience. Otherwise, the Q80T has a more traditional port array found in a concave portion of the set’s backside. You’ll have 2 USB ports and 4 HDMI ports. One of them is rated HDMI 2.1, which supports features like eARC, Auto Low Latency Mode and Variable Refresh Rate.  

Samsung Q80T QLED TV review: Performance

With its quantum-dot-enhanced display, full array backlight and an intelligent Quantum processor, the Samsung Q80T promises a superb performance. QLED is usually strong when it comes to robust colors and contrast, and that’s more or less what I experienced during anecdotal testing.

In Spider-Man: Into the Spiderverse, I could see the color complexities and subtle variations between each superhero’s suit, even though several wore red or black. Then as Peter B. Parker, Miles Morales and Spider-Woman Gwen Stacey used their web-shooters to swing away from Doctor Octopus’s laboratory, the autumn foliage surrounding them looked artistic as an actual comic book does.

(Image credit: Samsung)

Moving on to one of my favorite scenes for testing contrast capabilities, I turned on Star Wars: Rise of Skywalker. Enter Kylo Ren, cautiously wading through Exegol with his crossguard lightsaber outlined by an eerie halo. Upon discovering the very-much-alive Emperor Palpatine, a strobe effect flashed the screen between dark and intense bright. Many sets struggle with such speedy transitions, especially while maintaining cinematic contrast. I think the Sony A8H Bravia OLED TV does it better, but the Samsung Q80T holds its own with as deep blacks as any LED/LCD set can offer.

Rise of Skywalker similarly gave the Q80T a challenge in motion handling. Just as Rey does to restore balance to the galaxy, the set rose to the occasion. As the aspiring Jedi practically flew through her obstacle course in the Ajan Kloss jungle, the drapery details of her caped getup and curvy, orange details of a tailing BB-8 droid remained crisp. 

Of course not all material comes in 4K like the Spider-Man and Star Wars discs we used for testing. Within the Q80T, Samsung’s 4K Quantum upscaler uses AI to enhance image interpolation and insert details you won’t find on regular HD content. I didn’t see any artifacts or graininess when watching the HD discs of the same movies, and I’d even say that the Q80T’s upscaling maintains picture depth more than the Sony OLED.

An added perk of the Samsung Q80T QLED 4K TV is an antireflection layer that makes it a breeze to watch in bright rooms with windows, where I happened to set this TV up for testing. When I reviewed an OLED in this same room, I could only gauge picture performance at night because sunlight compromised the picture brightness too severely.

Samsung Q80T QLED TV review: Test results

The Samsung Q80T QLED 4K TV benefits from very few preset picture modes compared to other sets. Luckily, it has thorough calibration settings. Still, we used ‘Standard’ for most testing, while the tempered brightness and contrast of the Movie mode makes it a favorable viewing option for dark rooms. We also disabled Eco Solution options, which we would use in a normal scenario but impact the TV’s picture during testing. Eco Solution adjusts TV’s brightness level automatically based on surrounding ambient light to reduce power consumption. 

(Image credit: Tom’s Guide)

Samsung says the Samsung Q80T has Quantum HDR 1500, meaning the set could reach a peak brightness of 1500 nits. Our Tom’s Guide TV tests registered a maximum brightness of 681 nits, which seems far off from the company’s claims but is a realistic result for comparison. The Samsung Q60T QLED TV, a set two tiers below the Q80T, hit only 418 nits, for example. The Samsung Q70T QLED TV reached just 548 nits, too. 

We measure TV accuracy with a Delta-E rating. A smaller score is ideal (0 is perfect), and the Samsung Q80T earned a 3.9, which is poor compared to other sets in the company’s lineup. The Q70T scored a 2.4, Q90 registered a Delta-E rating of 1.5. It also trails behind the LG CX OLED (1.9) and Sony A8H Bravia OLED (1.5).

When it comes to color reproduction, which we measure using a X-Rite i1 Pro spectrophotometer and SpectraCal CalMAN Ultimate calibration software, the Samsung Q80T QLED was able to reproduce 99.93% of the Rec 709 color space. Anything approaching 100% is good for a non-OLED TV, and this QLED scored in range of others like the TCL 6-Series Roku TV (99. 96%) and Vizio M-Series Quantum (99.92%).

If you were hoping the Q80T could be a capable accessory for your new Xbox Series X or PS5, you might be disappointed. The TV measured lag time of 30.1 milliseconds. Usually we recommend sets with sets with a lag time below 20 milliseconds for the best gaming TVs. 

Samsung Q80T QLED TV review: Audio

The Samsung Q80T QLED 4K TV has 60W speakers, which is powerful compared to 40W ones in the LG CX OLED. Samsung’s set also offers Object Tracking Sound, a technology that’s supposed to tailor the set’s audio to match the content onscreen. So do the built-in upward and downward-firing speakers provide a more immersive soundscape?

As ships zoomed from the left side of the screen towards the right and down towards a planet in The Rise of Skywalker, their hums followed with precision. Then, as Rey and Kylo Ren battled atop the Death Star’s debris on the stormy planet of Kef Bir, the strike of clashing lightsabers stemmed from the source of action while waves crashed on the bottom half of the screen.

Object Tracking Sound nearly makes up for the set’s lack of built-in Dolby Atmos support. That said, it will output Atmos-formatted content for a Dolby Atmos soundbar or speaker.

Samsung Q80T QLED TV review: Tizen OS and smart features

Samsung’s Tizen OS platform offers a broad selection of apps, so everyone in your home can stream the content they want. From WandaVision on Disney Plus to any of the best HBO Max shows, you’ll find most (if not all) of the apps you enjoy. Notably, Tizen has a special Apple TV app for enjoying iTunes movies and shows, as well as Apple’s original Apple TV Plus shows. No separate Apple TV 4K box needed. 

The interface’s Universal Guide also offers content suggestions based on your interests and viewing habits. Otherwise, the home screen’s layout is clean and unobtrusive. You can customize the single row of apps to include all your favorite services, while continuing to watch a show while browsing.

And when you’re not watching TV, you can initiate a screensaver-style, low-power Ambient mode that displays artwork or weather updates. The effect is more impressive on Samsung’s The Frame, but Ambient mode is still a good alternative to the Q80T’s basic black “off” screen.

As a Samsung TV, the Q80T effortlessly meshes with your Samsung SmartThings smart home system. One of the best smart home hubs, SmartThings provides a control dashboard for all of the best smart home devices that are compatible with Samsung’s platform. From the Ecobee (5th gen) smart thermostat to Samsung’s own Family Hub refrigerators, you’re able to use your TV to drop-in or adjust settings quickly.

(Image credit: Tom’s Guide)

The Q80T similarly offers Samsung’s Bixby built-in. Bixby is far from our favorite voice assistant, but it lets you search for content through the remote’s microphone. Since this TV is also one of the best Google Home compatible devices and best Alexa compatible devices, we’d recommend pairing it to Google’s or Amazon’s assistant. While some of Samsung’s other sets require you to pair the set with one of the best smart speakers to actually control the TV via voice, the Q80T lets you use a third-party assistant right from remote. From there, you can integrate the set into your smart home routines and control additional smart home devices without getting up from your couch.

Another smart feature I found myself using often on the Samsung Q80T QLED TV is screen mirroring. I casted home videos and iOS apps from my iPhone via AirPlay 2, although those with Samsung phones like the new Samsung Galaxy S21 or Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra could use Smart View. You can mirror your Windows 10 PC to the Q80T’s screen, too.

Samsung Q80T QLED TV review: Remote

The Samsung Q80T comes with Samsung’s slender remote, which is comfortable to hold and provides all the expected controls. Alas, I wish it had some kind of built-in lighting beyond the faint microphone status dot so I could find the remote on my black couch when watching TV or movies in the dark.

(Image credit: Tom’s Guide)

This version of Samsung’s remote provides a shortcut to Ambient Mode, as well as dedicated launch buttons for Netflix, Prime Video and Samsung TV Plus. For anyone who uses these services regularly, you can’t beat the convenience. 

Samsung Q80T QLED TV review: Verdict

Samsung seems to have found its stride in QLED. In the past the company’s technology couldn’t keep up with LG and Sony OLEDs, but that’s no longer the case. In fact, after wrapping up this Samsung Q80T QLED 4K TV review, I could make the case for purchasing a QLED instead of our overall favorite TV right now, the LG CX OLED. It has LG’s set beat in tested brightness and comes in about $200 to $300 less for the 55-inch model, depending on current sales.

But is the Samsung Q80T QLED 4K TV the one to get? If you can spare the extra cash, the Q90T’s upgrades (namely the One Connect box) are worthwhile. That is, unless you’re eyeing a sexy 85-inch screen. The price difference between the Q90T and Q80T in the largest configuration is thousands of dollars, not hundreds. As for the cheaper Q70T, and Q60T sets, you’ll lose the full array backlight and local dimming — compromises that strike a big enough blow to QLED quality to discount these models from our recommendations. If you don’t mind looking outside of Samsung for a comparable alternative at a lower cost, the TCL 6-Series is a better option. 

Although the Samsung Q80T QLED 4K TV’s test results are a mixed bag compared to those lower-tier models, the average viewer won’t pick up on the shortfalls. Sure, cinephiles would probably appreciate a set with stronger accuracy, while gamers should look for something with shorter lag time; however, for the price, brightness, upscaling capabilities, sound and smart features, I’d put the Q80T on your short list.

During the time that the 2020 QLED 55Q80T TV got to us by secret paths, we already managed to get used to the idea that this is not a replacement for the Q80R, but an improved version of the Q77R.

FALD, for those who are not in the know, is a type of backlight, the diodes of which are located behind the matrix along its area and are divided into groups, which, depending on the scene, adjust their brightness in real time. And they do not shine constantly at the same level, as in Direct and Edge options. FALD lighting is designed primarily for cinephiles.

Appearance and connectors.

Metal TV front frame. Initially, there were doubts about this.

The leg consists of two parts, the lower one is completely made of metal, the upper one is made of plastic. A film with a tongue in the upper left corner is pasted on the TV from the factory (Kaluga assembly), for which you need to pull the film, but so as not to accidentally catch the matrix itself. Also, special pads are glued along the edges of the screen so that the owner of the TV does not accidentally press on the matrix more than it should.

Most of the photos will be on the forum, in a higher resolution.

55Q80T package:

Connectors 55Q80T:

The topmost HDMI at number 4 is marked for games – it comes with version 2.1. You can connect a PS5, Xbox Series X, or a PC with an Nvidia 3000 series graphics card to it. But only or, not and. If you have several new generation gaming devices, you will have to look for adapters that may not bring a lot of additional input lag.

There are four HDMIs and two USBs on board. USB version 2.0, one for 0.5A and the second for 1A (for a hard drive without additional power).

All digital tuners are in place as expected (DVB-S2, T2, C).

Traditionally, there is no connector for wired headphones, you can connect bluetooth headphones. Wi-Fi TV supports two bands – 2.4 GHz and 5 GHz.

A VESA 200×200 bracket is required to mount the 55Q80T on a wall. TV dimensions (rounded): 123×78 (71) x 6 cm. TV stand must be at least 39×26 cm.

The promised additional speakers through the upper ventilation slots could not be considered. Below are two standard small oval speakers.

The slots themselves are larger:

55Q80T is 10mm high, 55Q70T is 8mm high, 55TU7140 is 5mm high. Accordingly, to remove heat, and considerable, Q80T should be better.

In Dynamic mode for an hour of operation, the panel warmed up to 41 degrees, the same upper frame, the temperature of hot air from the ventilation slots – up to 48 degrees (the area above the power cable).

Ideally, of course, at home, reduce the backlight settings in order to extend the life of the LEDs and, possibly, the panel itself.

The lower frame of the TV, unlike all other junior series, does not have a “pocket” (a gap between the matrix and the frame), where dust will accumulate over time:

As we already know, the Q80T, unlike the 2019 Q80R, does not have an improved anti-glare coating, no corner expander, One Connect Box, and a lower brightness headroom.

This smart TV, like all others manufactured by Samsung, has the Tizen operating system. This platform was introduced back in 2015, so I see no point in describing the same thing.

Panel 55Q80T.

Marking on the rear wall – AA01. The article in the service menu is 55L1AU8TT.

120 Hz -VA matrix with FALD backlight.

Preliminary measurements of brightness in one of the scenes were:

720 lux for 55Q80T, 485 lux for 55Q60T and 757 lux for 55Q67R. Thus, the 55Q80T got close to the Q67R, which its predecessor 55Q77R could not do.

A broken pixel was noticed on the panel, I usually don’t pay attention to this, but this was not quite a typical case – more on that later on the forum.

As usual, the first step was to check the uniformity of the backlight on 100% white. Unfortunately, the dirty screen effect is very decent, as is the pronounced mottling. Two independent witnesses were slightly shocked by such a white man. Perhaps we were just terribly unlucky with the copy. There was, by the way, one more small nuance. But we can already say that our copy is not suitable for using it as a monitor, as well as for watching football or hockey.

So, on 100% white in our review, the 55Q80T delivered 680 lux in Dynamic mode. 55Q70T, for comparison – 727 lux. Either it was a new copy, or the old one warmed up – because. in previous measurements, the Q70T, let me remind you, gave out 666 lux and 63% flicker – the flicker coefficient remained the same.

At 55Q80T it does not exceed 2.5%. Which, of course, is much more interesting.

Standard mode 524 lux and 45% flicker, Normal mode 364 lux and 129% flicker.

Cinema mode – 310 lux and 90% flicker (default backlight at 27 out of 50).

If you set the maximum backlight in Cinema mode, we get 582 lux and 29%. Twisting the contrast will raise the brightness to 613, and reduce the flicker to 17%. If at the same time we turn off the floater, the brightness will slightly decrease, but the coefficient will be less than 1% – like for Flicker Free monitors. In addition, in this scenario, at any backlight value, flicker will not exceed 2%.

I would like to say a few words about the uplavnyalka. Since this year, it has been placed in the Image clarity settings item.

From time to time, potential Samsung TV owners may be misled by sellers about the matrix hertz. To clarify: 120 Hz only goes to 55 ‘and above and only from the Q70T + series. It is easy to check – two items should be in the menu (not only jitter reduction, but also blur reduction).

The good news is that in the near-black test, the Q80T, unlike the Q70T, did not turn up the gamma:

I think it is noticeable even in this micro photo.

According to the Mechanic’s test, the TV displays gradations up to 1000 cd/m2, the maximum number of color gradations in Normal mode, slightly less in Cinema and Filmmaker modes.

In the proprietary HDR test video (Chasing the Light), the TV produced 740 lux at medium brightness in Filmmaker mode and up to 900 lux at peak.

On the HDR test video Rtings – 1000-1100 lux (smaller left plate), larger right plate – up to 900 lux.

On a real test material (Dark Tower) – the average brightness is 620 lux and the peak is up to 720. A fairly good result for an LCD, taking into account the fact that the measurements were carried out on small areas of the screen.

Viewing angles -VA matrix quite typical:

It is possible that there are other revisions/versions of the panels.

55Q80T as a gaming monitor.

Measurements of input lag in standard 55Q80T modes showed 78-80 ms, in Filmmaker mode the delay was higher – 86 ms.

In game mode with the included game plug and surround sound – 23 ms.

Without these functions – 12-13 ms. When applying [email protected]Hz.

In PC mode 18ms, “gaming PC” mode 13ms and 23ms with floaters and more.

The gaming PC is quoted not by chance – it turned out that, unlike Sony and LG, Samsung does not transmit a signal without color loss. That is, in fact, it’s just a game mode with a PC icon.

Default in Standard PC mode to 500 lux and 43% flicker, measured in browser:

And then, unexpectedly, I noticed a special icon, which is nice) In Google through a standard browser it is not. And on a working laptop, a search engine from Yandex.

Further photos will be on the forum, because. The review standard does not allow you to place large photos, and you can’t make out anything on small ones.

What else would you like to talk about without the help of illustrations.

In PC mode, white balance adjustment is available only by 2 points, not by 20. Gamma – BT.1886 with a slider from -3 to +3 and 2.2 without it.

Color temperature – Cold, Standard, Warm 1, Warm 2. I usually choose the latter option as the safest for my eyes.

In terms of flicker reduction, raising the backlight to maximum and lowering the contrast to no more than 8 out of 50 has been found to result in less than 3% flicker and 300 lux. This brightness should be comfortable for well-lit rooms like shops or offices.

At home, it can be excessive, then you will have to reduce the backlight, increasing the flicker. Its decrease from 50 to 49gives already 6%.

Of the 120 Hz TV modes, [email protected] Hz and [email protected] Hz are available by default (we consider the most common ones). For fans of shooters, first of all. [email protected] Hz must be available when an Nvidia 3000 series graphics card (RTX 3070, RTX 3080, RTX 3090) is connected.

The subsampling test revealed an interesting feature – in 14[email protected] Hz the text is displayed less clearly than in the 60 Hz version.

When connecting a console (PS4) in game mode in a real game scene, the Q80T produced 520 lux in SDR and 40% flicker. Q70T – 440 lux and 93%.

Due to the fact that the color space has a wonderful effect on the contrast in general, it was decided to leave it in the Initial position.

Local dimming works poorly in SDR games, but quite well in movies. At least the difference compared to the Q70T in mixed scenes is quite noticeable.

In HDR, of course, there are scenes where everything is fine, but the night sky and the like hints that this is not Samsung’s QD OLED, which will someday come out.

More details will be in the photo on the forum.

When black frame insertion is enabled (60 Hz signal), the flicker is noticeable to the eye, the brightness drops to 180 lux, the coefficient is 309.

If the backlight is unscrewed to the limit, – 320 lux and 217%. Turning on the Clear LED image makes the blur reduction item inactive (which is quite logical), because. this feature by itself reduces motion blur.

In terms of pixel response, it’s slightly lower on the Q80T than the Q70T. You can notice a little smirking, however. For example, if you look at the lips of a Japanese woman swinging on a rope.

Flooder unchanged – if there are flashes of light in the frame, catch more artifacts.

In general, with respect to the Q70T, the speaker of the review is processed more clearly.

The

Noise Reduction does a very good job of removing color banding (streaks in the sky), just like the Q70T. Near-black noise is partially suppressed, as well as near the edges of lighter objects.

For a very good signal and sports viewing, it is better to disable noise reduction, in other cases you can leave it on Auto.

Summing up the review of the 4k smart TV Samsung 55Q80T, I can say the following.

Hardcore gamers and sports enthusiasts can probably save some money and get a 55Q70T with much more even backlighting in bright light.

Film fans carefully check their copy for uniformity.

For those who are thinking between Q80T and Q95T, the latter is definitely recommended.

For those who can still find the Q80R in good condition, it’s his.

Liked about the 55Q80T:

• brightness relative to Q77R
• the presence of HDMI1 (though only one)
• SDR local dimming performance for cinema (noticeably deeper black level and higher contrast relative to 55Q70T)
• the ability to significantly reduce the flicker of the LED backlight, albeit not in the same way as in Sony
• low input lag for games

Dislikes about the 55Q80T:

– backlight uniformity on white

– Virtually no local dimming in game mode

Samsung Q80T review

Samsung has launched a series of mid-range Q80T TVs among QLED 2020. This series can be called the very “golden mean” between entry-level QLED TVs and TVs from the Premium series. The company itself claims that “controlled dimming zones provide deeper contrasts for even richer blacks and lighter whites.”

“The Q80T turns everything you watch into 4K.” The most important features are direct LED local dimming (FALD) backlighting and 4K quantum processor with AI, which is only available in 2020 starting with the Q70T series.

Q80T TVs are also available in sizes from 49″ to 75″. Is everything as great as the manufacturer says about it? Let’s try to figure it out in the Samsung QE55Q80T TV 4K HDR review using the most popular 55-inch TV as an example.

Samsung Q80T review

Q-design

Samsung uses a minimalist design with a thin screen bezel. The company calls this concept “borderless design,” which unfortunately isn’t as impressive as the “invisible” bezels of the Q950TS’ 8K models.

One of the new features is an optional “mini wall mount” replacing the “pull-off” solution used in 2018-2019 TVs. From the bottom of the screen to the cabinet, there is enough space to place one of the soundbars directly below the TV.

Sound quality

In terms of audio, unlike the entry-level Q60T and Q70T series, the Q80T 4K TVs have much more to offer. The built-in hardware with a 2.2.2 sound system and a total output of 60W is already impressive. In addition, Samsung provides only the best conditions for its new technologies.

New Object Tracking Sound technology recognizes objects in the video stream and “tracks” the audio accordingly. This provides a realistic 3D sound that should bring the user closer to immersive action on screen. This feature was showcased at CES 2020. Object Tracking Sound (OTS) is available on all Q80T models from 49″inches (124 cm).

Q-Symphony

The second enticing feature of the Q80T series audio system is the “Q Symphony”. The Samsung QE55Q80T TV’s height speakers sync with a compatible soundbar for an even more immersive sound experience. A direct comparison between TV speakers with a conventional soundbar and one with Q-Symphony technology is rave in favor of the latest sound design.

It’s worth noting here that the speakers connected to the bottom of the display and the TV’s built-in subwoofers are disabled during Q-Symphony operation to avoid overlapping sound waves. The last audio feature supported by all 2020 QLED models (except the Q60T) is an active voice amplifier.

The TV responds to changes in the sound environment and adjusts the volume to provide the best sound in all circumstances. Therefore, it will not matter whether the mixer is turned on at this time in the kitchen or whether the children are running around the living room. Built-in Q-Symphony technology is supported by the 2020 Samsung HW-Q60T, HW-Q70T and HW-Q800T soundbars.

Image quality

In terms of image quality characteristics, the search for revolutionary differences in comparison with similar models of previous years has not been successful so far. The Q80T models have a resolution of 3840 x 2160 pixels. All of them are equipped with a color filter with quantum dots. According to Samsung, this allows for 100% coverage of the DCI-P3 color volume.

However, in practice this value will not reach 100 percent, but it will be close enough to the optimal value. The Samsung Q80T series models feature direct LED backlighting with full array local dimming, also known as FALD. As far as HDR improvements are concerned, Samsung claims that the quality has gone up.

Unfortunately, it is still difficult to assess whether the image quality has really improved in HDR mode. According to initial information, the LED backlight in the Q80T series only has 48 zones. This is somewhat “rougher” than previous models that can run 96 zones.

Clearly, not only dimming zones are important, but also good control. However, additional LC filters will certainly not be able to compensate for the reduction in dark areas. It is not yet known if Samsung will confirm the final number of dimming zones.

2nd Gen Quantum 4K AI

2020 QLED TVs have been upgraded at the heart with the 2nd Gen Quantum 4K AI processor. It is possible that this will also be reflected in features such as improved 4K AI upscaling. Compared to 2019year it should give even better results. The Adaptive Image feature can also improve display in HDR mode.

The TV continuously measures the brightness in the room and adjusts the screen brightness accordingly. Even on days with variable sun and clouds, a detailed and high-contrast image should always be displayed. In this context, Samsung also likes to mention its own HDR format, HDR10 Plus, which is also supported in addition to HDR10 and HLG.

Of course, Dolby Vision HDR is not on board. Samsung can truly be considered one of the best when it comes to gaming. The Q80T models once again support Real Game Enhancer+, which allows you to display images and audio optimized for gaming.

Most important features such as ALLM (Auto Low Latency Mode) and VRR (Variable Refresh Rate) or AMD FreeSync are also supported in 2020 models. Minimum input lag with compatible console and PC hardware must be less than 7ms.

Tizen OS Smart TV

Samsung Smart TV not only excels in design, picture and sound, but above all in additional comfort features. Admittedly, there are only a few manufacturers that offer such a smart “complete package”. At the core is the tried and tested Tizen OS, which is managed by Samsung OneRemote.

With external speakers, Q80T models can also be controlled via Bixby, Google Assistant or Amazon Alexa. A unique feature is definitely the Ambient Mode+ option, which integrates the display with the environment or wall that the TV is attached to. The feature isn’t new, but it’s still impressive.

Combining direct LED backlighting with Quantum Dot and Adaptive Picture, the TV not only displays great in the environment, but is also free from image retention errors. All video and audio sources are combined in the Universal Guide. This allows the user to spend more time browsing content rather than searching for it.

The 55Q80T TV controls screen mirroring. This means that content from a smartphone or tablet can be displayed in parallel with the current TV program or other signal source (console, 4K Blu-ray player). Multi View – display content from a smartphone or tablet in parallel with the current program.

In terms of broadcast, the user will not miss anything if he wants to show his neighbors the latest cat videos on Youtube. Samsung SmartThings IoT integration is also present. Compatible and smart devices (now hundreds of third-party devices) can be conveniently controlled right from the couch.

Connections

All connections are located on the side of the TV, including four HDMI 2.0 inputs, two USB (2.0) ports, RJ45 Ethernet, digital optical audio output, CI+ 1.4 slot for pay-per-stream and antenna input. Even though the model lacks an HDMI 2.1 port, Samsung continues to rely on HDMI 2.0 as it also supports all the important features (except 4K/120p). Samsung Q80T 4K TVs are not shipping in 2020 with One Connect Box. This lack of comfort should have a positive impact on the price.

Characteristics Q80T

Price Q80T
As for the start date of sales of Samsung Q80T, so far it is only known that TVs of this series will go on sale no earlier than April 2020. The very same series consists of four models with diagonals from 49 to 75 inches. Information about Russian prices is not yet available.

For other markets, the company provided starting prices at the start of sales. We present them for your reference. TV Samsung QE49Q80T will cost $1100. The price of the considered TV Samsung QE55Q80T will start from $1300.

TV Samsung QE65Q80T will be available from $1800. Model with 75 diagonal Samsung QE75Q80T will be on sale from $2800. So far, there is no exact confirmation of the release of the Samsung QE85Q80T model. However, the price for it is also announced – $4000.

Q80T review summary

In conclusion of the Q80T review from Samsung, let’s summarize.

            By Ryan Lim

            If you’re constantly printing off multi-page forms or lengthy articles, a laser printer can quickly and efficiently process a high volume of pages. Unlike inkjet printers, these printers use a laser beam to produce text and images. Toner sticks to the areas of the drum unit that the laser traces content onto, then transfers onto a sheet of paper. Finally, the paper passes through fuser rollers which permanently fuse the toner to the paper. In most cases, the result is a higher page yield and a faster print time. Although laser printers are generally expensive to start, they tend to be more economical in the long term as their cartridges need replacing less often.

            We’ve tested over 125 printers, and below are our recommendations for the best laser printers you can buy. Check our picks for the best wireless printers, the best all-in-one printers, and the best home printers.

               The best laser printer we’ve tested is the Brother MFC-L8905CDW, a color laser all-in-one designed for small or home offices. It has a wide range of connectivity options, including Wi-Fi, USB, and Ethernet, so it’s easy for everyone in an office to access. Its ADF-equipped scanner produces remarkably sharp scans, processes double-sided sheets in a single pass, and supports optical character recognition. Printing-wise, this model produces outstanding quality black and color documents. It warms up quickly and can output an impressive 32 pages per minute.

               The toner cartridges yield thousands of prints, which helps reduce maintenance. They’re expensive, but since you won’t need to replace them often, your running costs will remain low over time. Also, you can get XL cartridges that’ll last longer. You’ll have to spend extra to replace the drum separately, although the drum is usually good for 30,000 prints, so it’s not something you’ll have to do regularly.

               If you don’t need all of the MFC-L8905CDW’s bells and whistles, know that many variants in this lineup will give you the same print quality at a lower price. You can get the Brother MFC-L8610CDW if you don’t need duplex scanning or NFC support, and there are also the Brother MFC-L8900CDW and the Costco/BJ-exclusive MFC-L8900CDW variants if you don’t mind a smaller display.

               If you only print black-and-white documents and want to save some money, get the Brother MFC-L2750DW instead. This all-in-one monochrome model has a feature-packed scanner with extendable hinges to accommodate thick items like textbooks and an automatic feeder to process multi-page documents. It can also scan double-sided sheets in a single pass, saving you plenty of time. It produces incredibly sharp documents, doesn’t take long to warm up, and prints quickly at 36 pages per minute. The toner cartridge is good for about 2000 prints and is relatively cheap, which helps keep maintenance costs low. Connectivity options include Wi-Fi, USB, and Ethernet, and it supports NFC, so you can connect just by tapping your NFC-enabled device against the printer.

               Like most printers, this model is only one of many variants in the lineup. If you don’t need features like duplex scanning and don’t mind slightly slower printing speed, you can save money with the Brother MFC-L2710DW variant. Again, you aren’t compromising on print quality. You can also get bundles with a longer-lasting XL toner cartridge, like Brother MFC-L2690DW XL, which might be cheaper than buying the cartridge separately. You can see the differences between the variants in our full review.

               Our best budget pick is yet another Brother model, the Brother HL-L2350DW. Yes, Brother makes really good laser printers. This print-only monochrome model is a variant of the Brother HL-L2325DW we tested, which is also a great choice that costs even less but is a little harder to find. The HL-L2350DW produces incredibly sharp and detailed documents and prints up to 32 pages per minute. It also feels very well built and doesn’t cost much to maintain, as the toner cartridge yields a large number of prints and is fairly cheap. The main tradeoff is the lack of a scanner, so be sure you won’t need to scan anything.

               If you’re okay with spending a little more, go with the higher-end Brother HL-L2370DW, which has an Ethernet port and slightly faster printing speed. You can also find bundles with a high-yield and super high-yield toner cartridge in the box, like the Brother HL-L2370DW XL. The cheaper Brother HL-L2325DW is almost identical to the HL-L2350DW; it just prints slightly slower.

               If you’re shopping on a very tight budget and want something for those occasional print jobs, we recommend the Pantum P2502W. Like our budget pick, it’s also a monochrome print-only unit, meaning it doesn’t have a scanner. It produces high-quality black and white documents and doesn’t cost much to maintain as the toner cartridge yields over 2000 prints and is cheap. The drum is built into the cartridge, so you won’t need to replace it separately. It takes a while to warm up, but it prints quickly at 25 pages per minute once it gets going.

               Unfortunately, this model doesn’t support automatic duplex printing, so you’ll have to flip the pages manually when printing double-sided. It also tends to push printed pages off the output tray, resulting in out-of-order sheets. It only happens sometimes but is inconvenient, especially during large print jobs. Lastly, while the mobile app is feature-rich, it has many software quirks that make it hard to use. Overall, there are many compromises, which is normal for such an inexpensive model, but it’s still a good option if you only print once in a while.

            Notable Mentions

            • Canon imageCLASS MF743Cdw:
              The Canon imageCLASS MF743Cdw is a great alternative to the Brother MFC-L8905CDW and one of the best color laser printers we’ve tested. The biggest difference is that the Canon’s drum is built into the cartridge, simplifying maintenance requirements but driving up cartridge costs. It also scans much slower than the Brother and isn’t as readily available from most retailers since it’s discontinued.

              The Canon Color imageCLASS MF753Cdw is a newer version of the Canon imageCLASS MF743Cdw and also makes a good alternative to the Brother MFC-L8905CDW. The Brother scans documents faster and has a greater page yield.

            • HP Neverstop Laser MFP 1202w:
              The HP Neverstop Laser MFP 1202w is a good alternative to the Brother MFC-L2750DW. Unlike the Brother, it has a toner tank that you can refill as you go, similar to supertank inkjet printers. A full tank yields over 9000 prints, making it a great option for high-volume printing. However, the print quality isn’t as good as the Brother’s, and it prints significantly slower. Also, it’s harder to find because it’s discontinued.

            The Brother INKvestment MFC-J995DW ($199) is an all-in-one inkjet designed for small business/home office use. This model offers a variety of small office features and high-capacity ink cartridges that deliver a very low cost per page. The INKvestment cartridges that come in the box could last as long as a year, according to the company, making it one of the best all-in-one printers we’ve seen for affordable ink. Given these high ink yields, you might wish this all-in-one had a paper tray with a higher capacity than its 150 sheets.

            Of similarly modest capacity, the MFC-J995DW’s 20-sheet document feeder and 50-sheet output tray are not well-suited for big jobs. The specialty media tray on the back of the chassis can  accommodate only one sheet at a time. Much more impressive is the duplexer, which enables two-sided printing, and is quick.

            • Brother INKvestment MFC-J995DW (White) at Amazon for $554.99

            All things considered, the combination of extremely low ink costs and better-than-average printing and scanning make for one of the best home printers, and our Brother INKvestment MFC-J995DW review explains why.

            The front control panel angles upward 45 degrees, which makes it easier to operate the 2.7-inch color touch screen. The touch screen worked well for most menu selections, although entries that require a full QWERTY keyboard to be fit on the screen (such as for a Wi-Fi password) made selections a little difficult for my fingertips. If you place the unit on a low table, you may wish the panel angled upward 90 degrees, such as the Canon Pixma TS9120 (our current Editors’ Choice).

            On the lower left of the front panel are an SD Card slot and a USB memory port for printing or scanning to a memory card or USB thumb drive, respectively. When inserting a USB thumb drive, an on-screen menu pops up, offering three options: photo, scan to media, and web (for cloud printing from OneNote or OneDrive, for example). You cannot, however, print PDFs from a thumb drive, only JPEGs, even though you can scan in the PDF format to a thumb drive or an SD Card. When inserting a USB thumb drive, the screen was slow to display the thumbnail previews of the photos, typically taking 2 seconds or more to show the first one.

            You can connect via wireless, USB and Ethernet, as well as use near-field communication (NFC) for use with a mobile device.

            One design oddity is that the USB and Ethernet ports, rather than being on the outside like the fax and telephone extension ports, are inside the body. You have to lift the scanner glass to access them. You will want to have a long cable because this serpentine route to the port eats up about 1.6 feet of cabling. Stranger still is that neither the Quick Setup Guide nor the reference guide show on a diagram where these ports are located. The setup guide includes fax instructions, but no USB or Ethernet instructions (the word “Ethernet” does not even appear in the reference guide).

            The INKvestment cartridges that come in the box could last as long as a year, according to the company.

            The oddest design quirk, however, is the specialty media tray on the back of the unit. It can hold only one sheet at a time, which makes this model inconvenient for printing multiple photos onto glossy paper, or business documents onto card stock or other specialty media. After inserting a sheet, the touch screen displays a message saying the manual feed slot is ready. The tray can be a little finicky. When I did not fully insert glossy media, my photo print emerged on plain paper without warning, even though I’d selected glossy media in the Brother iPrint & Scan application running on a Windows 10 PC.

            Brother INKvestment MFC-J995DW review: Print speeds

            Printing onto plain paper in its 150-sheet tray, the MFC-J995DW did not disappoint on small office duties. It printed our five-page text document in 29.1 seconds, or 10.3 ppm, significantly faster than the category average of 34.5 seconds, or 8.7 ppm. Using the duplexer to make two-sided prints, the unit printed text documents at 4 ppm.

            The MFC-J995DW was extremely fast to print mixed text and color graphics, churning out our six-page document in just 1 minute and 13.8 seconds, or 4.9 ppm. This was just a few seconds shy of the fastest model, the Epson XP-640, and far exceeded the average of 2. 7 ppm. In fact, the MFC-J995DW made two-sided prints faster than the category average for single-sided prints. It made duplex prints of the same document at an impressive 3 ppm. 

            Letter-size glossy photos printed in 4 minutes and 6 seconds, a little faster than the average of 4 minutes and 33 seconds.  This was, however, significantly slower than our current Editors’ Choice, the Canon Pixma TS9120, which printed the same photo in just 1 minute and 57 seconds.

            The MFC-J995DW did not disappoint on small office duties. It printed our five-page text document in 29.1 seconds, or 10.3 ppm, significantly faster than the category average.

            Printing was slow from my Android phone. It took 6 minutes for our six-page text and graphics PDF document to print from the Adobe Acrobat app. First, I was prompted to install the Brother Print Service plugin, after which the Adobe Acrobat app warned me that because the Brother print service may send the document through one or more print servers, printing may be slow. It was, taking 6 minutes to print six pages.

            Brother INKvestment MFC-J995DW review: Copy and scan speed

            The MFC-J995DW was quick to make copies. It made a color copy in just 15.1 seconds — far faster than the average of 25.5 seconds. It was, in fact, the fastest color copier to date in its category, besting the Editor’s Choice Canon Pixma TS9120, which made the same copy in 17.3 seconds. Black-and-white copying was similarly quick. The MFC-J995DW made a text copy in 12.7 seconds, compared with 14 seconds for the Canon TS9120 and the category average of 15.2 seconds.

            Using the ADF to make single-sided copies of a text document, the MFC-J995DW did so at a speedy 7 ppm — faster than its single-page speed of 4.7 ppm.

            The MFC-J995DW was quick to make copies. It was, in fact, the fastest color copier to date in its category.

            The all-in-one also proved to be a speedy scanner. It captured a 600 dpi JPEG in just 38.5 seconds, which was much faster than the average of 1 minute and 10 seconds. Only the Editors’ Choice Canon TS9120 edged it out, making a scan in 37.8 seconds.

            The Brother also turned in one of the fastest scan times on a black-and-white PDF, making a 300 dpi scan in 7.4 seconds, versus the 10.5 second average. The Canon TS9120 scanned the same document in 7.7 seconds.

            Brother INKvestment MFC-J995DW review: Print quality

            This Brother all-in-one delivered high print quality across the board. Text looked quite sharp and dark, though not quite as dark as some models. Text in duplex prints came out slightly lighter. Graphics printed with a lot of detail, and colors looked accurate and well saturated. In duplex prints, graphics looked equally attractive as single-sided prints.

            Glossy photos printed with accurate, well-saturated colors, attractive textures and plenty of fine details.

            Copies were of a similarly high quality. Both text and graphics were faithfully reproduced. Graphics from magazine pages looked very close to the original, with plenty of detail and accurate color. Converted to black-and-white, copies of the same mixed text and color graphics retained the midtone transitions of the original, and reproduced fine details.

            Scans made to PDF format reproduced crisp text and detailed graphics accurately. However, scans of photographs were less successful. These JPEG scans looked muddy, lacking contrast and bright shades in the original. Details got lost in shadow areas, giving them an overall dull appearance.

            Brother INKvestment MFC-J995DW review: Ink cost and yield

            Brother  offers only high-yield and super high-yield cartridges for this model, called INKvestment ink tanks. For example, while most models offer a black-ink cartridge rated to last a modest 200 or so pages, this all-in-one’s lowest yield cartridge is rated to print 3,000 pages. At $35, it delivers a cost per page of 1.2 cents, which is far below the average of 7.6 cents. Similarly, the high-yield color cartridges are rated to last 1,500 pages, and come in a $69 three-pack, resulting in a cost per color page that’s well below the average: 5.8 cents versus 20.8 cents. With such high yields on these INKvestment cartridges, Brother estimates the first four included in the box could last as long as a year.

            Using the super-high-capacity cartridges, which are rated at 6,000 and 5,000 pages for black and color, respectively, drops cost per page to just 1 cent and 5 cents. This calculation is based on individual purchase of the color cartridges, at $66.50 each (no multipack was listed on the company website at press time, which could lower the color cost per page). The average cost per page with high-yield cartridges is much higher: 5.9 cents (black) and 14.6 cents (color).

            While most models offer a black ink cartridge rated to last a modest 200 or so pages, this all-in-one’s lowest yield cartridge is rated to print 3,000 pages. At $35, it delivers a cost per page of 1.2 cents, which is far below the average of 7.6 cents.

            Brother INKvestment MFC-J995DW review: Setup and software

            Setting up this all-in-one required only the removal of a few pieces of packaging tape and putting paper in the tray. The ink cartridges are larger than those for most consumer inkjet models, and they are easy to insert in their slots behind a hinged door on the front panel.

            My initial setup on a Windows 10 PC was a piece of cake. The printer showed up without my having to insert the DVD-ROM install disk. But I ran into printing problems because, apparently, Windows ended up creating a duplicate printer profile that caused a conflict once I did run the installation disk. On a Mac running Sierra (10.12), the printer did not show up automatically and I ran the DVD-ROM, which simply sent me online to the Brother support website to perform the download and install.

            Beyond those minor quirks, setup was easy. Following instructions and prompts for putting the device on my wireless network was a no-brainer. The MFC-J995DW supports AirPrint, Wi-Fi Direct, Google Cloud Print and NFC for direct connection to a mobile device. The Android app iPrint&Scan allows you to print, scan, copy and fax from a mobile device. You also can check ink levels.

            Brother INKvestment MFC-J995DW review: Verdict

            Brother’s INKvestment MFC-J995DW offers a lot of office-worthy features for a reasonable price, including a fast duplexer. As long as the size of your jobs is modest and are almost exclusively on plain paper, this efficient model is likely to thrill you with its extremely low ink costs. Print, copy and scan quality are all high, as long as you ignore the mediocre scans of photographs. The one-sheet limitation on the specialty paper slot hampers this model’s flexibility, as does the modest 20-sheet capacity of the ADF. But if most of your plain paper jobs fit within this range, this money-saving all-in-one is very likely to live up to its duties in your office.

            Best of 2022: All-Purpose Printers | DGL.RU

            If you would like to buy a printer or upgrade an old one, but do not know which models are relevant in 2022, then pay attention to our list of the best.

            Universal printers typically use either inkjet or laser technology, with the addition of a copier/scanner on top. Some have fax capabilities, although they have mostly disappeared; instead, some new printers will include Wi-Fi capabilities and apps that allow you to send scanned documents wirelessly.

            Many offices have them, but all-in-one printers are essential for working from home, especially if the bedroom in your small apartment doubles as your office. All-in-one printers can handle most office tasks, be it printing, scanning or copying. This makes them ideal for small offices and for students who print and scan frequently. They come in different sizes, prices, and features, so it can be difficult to know what you really need.

            When choosing the best all-round printers, we wanted to make sure we chose models that fit today’s high-tech lifestyles, as well as those that provide reliable features in a single device.

            Type: There are different types of printers to consider. We studied laser, inkjet and photo printers, rating each on how well they perform their basic functions. We have focused on typing speed and ease of use.

            Eco-Friendly: Printers can be a source of waste, especially when it comes to ink cartridges that can be difficult to recycle. We’ve included cartridge-free and easy-to-refill options to help you reduce waste and provide a more practical way to refill printer ink.

            Smart technology: We looked for options with features such as Wi-Fi integration, the ability to scan documents and send them to the cloud, and voice control.

            • Best: Brother MFCL2750DW
            • Best Wireless: HP LaserJet Pro M203dw
            • Most durable: Epson EcoTank ET-4760
            • Best for photography: Canon PIXMA TS6320
            • Best for faxing: Canon PIXMA TR8620
            • Most portable: HP OfficeJet 250
            • Lowest cost: HP Envy Pro 6055

            This Brother printer is extremely cheap for a general purpose laser printer. It doesn’t skimp on features, providing Wi-Fi cloud printing in addition to standard copy, scan and print. This model is black and white, but do you really need to print a color picture often?

            Features:

            • Print speed: 36ppm
            • Paper capacity: 250 sheets
            • Print: Monochrome

            Pros:

            • Duplex copy, scan
            • Mobile printing capability
            • Cloud direct connection

            Cons:

            • Expensive

            This compact, all-in-one Brother laser printer is ideal for small spaces and users on the go. No cords required – you can print wirelessly from your phone, laptop or tablet. You can also directly scan documents to multiple cloud services including Google Drive, Dropbox, and OneDrive. Plus, you can save even more time with two-sided copying and scanning. Laser printers have several advantages over inkjet printers. The ink comes in drums that are more expensive than ink cartridges but are unlikely to ever need to be replaced. Ink cartridges, if left unused for some time, can dry out and need to be replaced even if they are not empty, and this is not a problem with laser models. Also, considering how long laser drums last, your cost per printed page is often lower than with inkjet printers.

            The HP LaserJet Pro M203dw is designed with the needs of the small office in mind, is environmentally friendly and affordable.

            Features:

            • Print speed: Up to 30 ppm (black)
            • Paper capacity: 250 sheets
            • Print: Monochrome

            Pros:

            • Fast
            • Energy Star Certified
            • Economy

            Cons:

            • Image quality
            • Need to buy Echo Dot separately for voice commands

            If you’re looking for a printer that does it all, yet delivers speed for a small office, consider the HP Laser JetPro M203dw.

Save more money with the best cheap printers.

            Laser or inkjet

            Different types of printers are made to suit different needs. Laser printers can have a reputation for being extremely expensive, bulky industrial printers that are better suited to a farm than a home or small office. The downside is that laser printers cost more than inkjet printers, even if the gap isn’t as big as it used to be. But over the past few years, laser printers have gotten smaller, cheaper, and easier to use, and there are now plenty of laser printer options for everyone.

            Inkjet printers can deliver truly superior image quality on a wide variety of paper types, whether you’re printing labels, documents or photos. Color inkjet printers are much cheaper than color laser printers, and ink is also cheaper when you buy it.

            Photo printer cost

            Do you need a printer that can handle basic photo printing needs? Lucky for you, there are many versatile photo printers out there. These can be really handy devices to have at home or in the home office because they can print stylish glossy photos as well as handle your scanning and copying needs. If you do a lot of visual effects work – photographers, designers, architects, artists – a versatile photo printer is a great addition.

            Cheaper All-In-One Printers

            You don’t have to sacrifice thousands to get a great all-in-one printer. Today, for a price below $ 150, you can get a great option. Typically, people choose an inkjet printer that still has all the standard print/copy/scan features, and even previously advanced features such as Wi-Fi, app support, and automatic ink refilling. All of these features are available on models priced above.

            What you are likely to lose are options such as automatic document feeding, faster print speeds, and an on-device screen. But if you’re looking for basic features, our favorite budget option is the HP Envy Pro 6055.

            Question: What does a versatile printer mean?

            All-in-one printers may not be able to make you coffee or bring you a newspaper, but the term refers to their three main functions: printing, copying, and scanning. Some also have a fax machine.

            Question: What is the difference between inkjet and laser printers?

            The difference between an inkjet printer and a laser printer is that inkjet printers are more commonly used in the home, use ink, and typically print smaller volumes. Laser printers are more commonly used in offices, use toner cartridges, and can print high volumes.

            Question: Which printer is better for home use: inkjet or laser?

            For home use, both an inkjet printer and a laser printer have their pros and cons. If you print a lot in color, choose inkjet for its clarity and brightness. But laser models are cheaper to use for a long time, and they tend to have a longer lifespan.

            Q: Which printer has the longest lasting ink cartridges?

            Ideally, the longest lasting ink cartridge is… not a cartridge at all! Use a laser printer that uses a drum system that is unlikely to ever need replacing, or an EcoTank system that lets you refill a bottle whenever you run out.

            Q: Will my all-in-one printer work with PCs and Macs?

            Yes, the printers described in this guide can be used with a PC, Mac, Chromebook, iOS device, or Android device.

            Q: What can I do with my used ink cartridges?

            Office Depot will recycle up to 10 ink cartridges per month per person. You can either return your ink cartridges to one of the stores or request a free shipping label from UPS.

            Question: Can I use third party ink cartridges with my printer?

            In our experience, manufacturer specified ink cartridges work best. Some third party cartridges can damage your printer or result in lower quality prints.

            Question: How can I store the ink?

            If the page you want to print contains both text and an image, but you only want words, copy and paste them into a blank document. If you’re running low on color ink, consider using your printer’s black and white setting.

            Question: How can I use less paper?

            The new multifunction printers support the ability to print on both sides of a sheet of paper, instantly cutting your printing workload in half. Another often overlooked printer setting is the ability to print only selected pages from a specific document. If you need a hard copy of just a couple of pages, this is another free and easy paper saving solution.

            Universal printers are a great addition to any office equipment, whether you work from home or not. Despite our commitment to a paperless world, there are inevitably still many occasions when you will need to print, scan or copy something. So why not get a device that can handle whatever task you put on it? Our favorite is the Brother MFCL2750DW laser printer, and the Epson EcoTank ET-4760 is also a great (and green!) inkjet option. If you want to save money, get the HP Envy 6055.

            PRINTING

            Learn about the differences between Canon inkjet and laser printers and decide which printer best suits your needs and budget.

            What is the ideal printer? Different people will answer it differently. We all need to print documents from time to time, but many of us also like to do arts and crafts or print photos, children’s homework, and student projects. Many of us work in a home or small corporate office and spend enough time there that they also need the ability to produce professional-quality monochrome and color printed documents.

            The choice of printer type depends largely on the type of print jobs you perform most frequently. It is also affected by whether you are printing text-heavy documents, photographs, or both; on plain paper, glossy photo paper, or even art paper; predominantly in monochrome or full color; in large print runs or single copies. Other factors to consider include print speed, printer size, largest print size, and total cost of printing including ink/toner and paper.

            Canon offers a wide range of inkjet and laser printers to suit every need and budget. Let’s take a closer look at the main differences between the two types and some of the top models in both lines so you can find the perfect printer for you.

            Ideal for photography enthusiasts – 3 in 1 inkjet printer
            The Canon PIXMA G640 uses a 6-color dye-based ink system for extended tonal range and color space, and is equipped with a high resolution scanner. Thanks to replenished
            Value for money formula ink bottles in the ink pack are enough to print 3,800 10 x 15 cm photos; What’s more, the printer allows you to print borderless photos up to A4. If you print documents, the kit will print 3,700 monochrome or 8,000 A4 color pages.

            Inkjet and laser printers: how they work

            The main difference between inkjet and laser printers is that they use wet and dry processing respectively. Inkjet printers apply liquid ink to paper, while laser printers use dry toner powder, which is fixed to a sheet of paper by heating to high temperatures on an image drum.

            But that’s not all. Inkjet printers usually use dye-based inks, however some of them work with pigment inks that react differently with different types of paper – they have a lower absorbency, so the prints have more noticeable texture with less color saturation. Moreover, depending on the model, Canon inkjet printers use from three to ten inks of different colors. Theoretically, the more multi-colored inks, the wider the color space that the printer can recreate. However, in practice, the differences can be barely perceptible and will only matter to professional photographers who want to print their work with the most accurate color reproduction.

            Ink durability comparison

            It can be said that the pigment ink in inkjet printers, when applied to plain paper, exhibits higher reliability and stain resistance than dye-based inks, and also provides sharper and richer text printing. Therefore, they are ideal for printing documents. In contrast, dye-based inks are better for printing photos on glossy paper. Small molecules of dye-based ink can be completely absorbed, penetrating under the protective top layer of glossy photo paper for a smoother, glossy finish. Some of Canon’s PIXMA inkjet printers use pigment black inks for text printing, as well as cyan, magenta, yellow and dye-based inks for quality photo printing, while Canon’s MAXIFY line of business printers offers only pigment ink support for sharp and crisp prints. durable printed documents.

            Laser printers, on the other hand, provide incomparably more reliable monochrome and color printing of documents on plain paper – such prints are also protected from smudges. Moreover, these documents can be stored for a long time in a secure archival environment, for example, in specially equipped library rooms.

            Inkjet printers offer similar archival durability thanks to pigment inks and Canon’s ChromaLife 100+ technology. When used with certain types of Canon photo paper, the combination of paper and ink with this technology forms a bond that ensures color retention in archival storage for up to 100 years. ¹

            The Canon i-SENSYS MF754Cdw Fast Laser MFP can scan A4 duplex documents at up to 100 ipm when fed through the 50-sheet ADF. In addition to one-sided and automatic two-sided copying, it allows you to send scanned results via email, USB flash drive, FTP server, cloud services and fax.

            High speed printing

            For high volume printing, choose a high yield laser printer. Toner cartridges used in laser printers generally have a longer print yield than inkjet ink cartridges. Canon offers both standard and long yield options for laser printers to meet a variety of print volume and economy needs. i-SENSYS MF750 Series High Yield Print Cartridges provide up to 7,600 monochrome pages and 5,500 color documents ² , and for i-SENSYS MF650 series models, up to 3,100 monochrome pages and 2,300 color documents.

            However, do not forget about inkjet models. Canon’s MAXIFY GX series inkjet printers from the Value Printing Formula range can print up to 9,000 pages in monochrome and up to 21,000 color documents in eco mode without refilling ink bottles ³ . Refilling bottles with ink bottles is quick and convenient, more efficient and cheaper than cartridges or toner.

            Printer

            Canon MAXIFY GX7040 with print, copy, scan and file share capabilities supports Wi-Fi, Ethernet and Cloud Link connectivity, and is equipped with two paper input trays with a total capacity of 600 sheets. Single-pass scanning of two-sided documents is performed when fed through the D-ADF with a capacity of 50 sheets.

            Ultimate convenience

            Inkjet printers can be particularly versatile, offering rich color photo and graphics output as well as decent document quality, especially with pigmented black ink models. In addition, the inkjet printers also support printing on a variety of media, including glossy, matte, and semi-gloss photo papers, decorative items, and creative media. Because laser printers use heat, they cannot print on such a wide range of media, especially coated paper. However, if you’re not interested in photo printing, Canon’s i-SENSYS MF series laser printers are great for printing monochrome and color documents, as well as graphics.

            What’s more, if all you need is monochrome printing, Canon manufactures a wide range of monochrome laser printers, including the i-SENSYS MF450 series MFPs and the fast i-SENSYS LBP230 series single-function printers. They offer ultra-fast print speeds of up to 38ppm, duplex printing as standard, and convenient wireless connectivity. In the Profitable Printing Formula line, among monochrome printers, you should pay attention to the PIXMA GM2040 single-function printer and the PIXMA GM4040 MFP.

            Both Canon’s MAXIFY GX inkjet printers and i-SENSYS MF laser printers have an integrated scanner, usually with an automatic document feeder, for easy scanning and photocopying of multipage documents. Some models even allow you to scan double-sided documents in a single pass, cutting scanning time in half. Along with automatic 2-sided printing and photocopying, this ensures optimal results, while flagship models such as the MAXIFY GX7040 inkjet MFP and the i-SENSYS MF754Cdw laser MFP are enhanced with standalone fax capabilities.

            However, if you don’t need extra features, look to single-function printers such as the i-SENSYS LBP673Cdw and i-SENSYS LBP630 series compact color laser printers, or the MAXIFY GX5040 inkjet printer, which offer convenient control for high-speed, cost-effective printing.

            We don’t forget about photography lovers. Canon’s PIXMA G540 Single Function Inkjet Printer and PIXMA G640 Multifunction Inkjet Printer offer all the benefits of the Value Printing Formula line, but use a 6-color dye-based ink system for superior photo quality.

            The Canon MAXIFY GX6040 has the same print speed and yield as
            GX7040, offering up to 9,000 pages of monochrome or 21,000 pages of color (eco) on a single ink set
            ⁴
            . This is a more economical option for those who need an embedded fax, single-pass duplex scanning, and an optional paper feed tray.

            Premium Performance

            If you need to quickly print a large number of pages, the speed of the printer can play an important role. It can also be unexpectedly important when printing single pages. Some commercially available laser printers take a very long time to print the first page after turning on or waking up from sleep mode. This is because the fusing unit can take a long time to reach operating temperature. However, we have good news – Canon i-SENSYS laser printers heat up to the desired temperature in just 13-14 seconds from the moment they are turned on. This is significantly faster than some inkjet printers, where an automatic nozzle check and print head cleaning cycle must be performed after startup.

            In a laser vs. inkjet speed comparison, the Canon i-SENSYS MF750 series laser devices delivered a first page out of 7.1 seconds. or less in monochrome and color modes. For subsequent pages, the print speed was up to 33 ppm. The MAXIFY GX5040, GX6040, and GX7040 inkjet printers had a first page out of about 7 seconds (no print head cleaning cycle), and subsequent pages were up to 24 ipm monochrome and 15.5 ipm when printing color documents. However, inkjet printing speed may be slower when printing multiple pages with a high percentage of ink coverage because the printer will delay printing the next page to dry the previous sheet. This ensures that prints are dry as soon as they exit the printer, eliminating the risk of smudges.

            Duplex printing saves paper costs and environmental impact and is also a factor to consider when choosing a printer type. With any inkjet printer, liquid ink naturally soaks into plain paper, so 2-sided printing can cause a show-through effect, which in turn means reduced print quality. Canon’s dye-based inkjet printers reduce the density of ink on the second side of the sheet to make this effect less noticeable and dry the sheet faster, while Canon’s MAXIFY inkjet printers offer two-sided printing modes that minimize this defect. However, the liquid ink-free laser printing process ensures consistently high duplex printing quality.

            Value for money formula printers also available in the PIXMA range, including the 4 in 1 model
            Canon PIXMA G7040 with print, copy, scan and fax capabilities, 35-sheet automatic document feeder and Wi-Fi and Ethernet connectivity.

            Size Matters

            Finding a place to set up a printer in a home office environment can be tricky. Typically, laser printers are larger than most inkjet models, but the Canon i-SENSYS series is unusually compact for this type of device. For example, the i-SENSYS MF651Cw measures 451x460x360mm including paper trays and weighs 18.9kg. The MAXIFY GX6040 inkjet printer has a smaller form factor of 399x645x327mm and weighs 11.6kg. The Canon PIXMA TR150 Inkjet Printer, on the other hand, is ultra-portable – measuring 322x185x66mm and weighing 2.1kg – making it ideal for printing on the go.

            Will multiple people use the printer at the same time? The PIXMA and MAXIFY GX models mentioned in this article are designed for use by 1-5 people. The laser printers mentioned in the article are suitable for use by a work team and installation in workspaces with a higher load.

            When multiple people share the printer, the security aspect comes into play. Some Canon i-SENSYS printers have secure print features that allow you to hold print jobs until you enter a PIN or password on the printer. This ensures that confidential documents are not printed by the machine unless you are directly next to the printer and are not in a tray that all employees have access to.

            Cost of ownership

            As has long been known, when calculating the cost of a device, it is worth considering not only the starting cost of the printer, but also the cost of ink and toner over the life of the device. Printers with Canon’s Value for Money refillable ink bottles have a significantly lower cost of ownership, making them the most affordable mid- to high-volume printing solution for users of any printing technology.

            Among laser printers, the Canon i-SENSYS MF series models, such as the i-SENSYS MF750 series and i-SENSYS MF650 series, are the most efficient with separate high yield toner cartridges for black, cyan, magenta and yellow.

            Energy efficiency is another factor. If you print a lot or use multiple printers, you may notice a significant increase in your electricity bills. You can save electricity by using the printer’s power save mode, which turns on automatically when the printer is not used for a long period of time. Leaving the inkjet printer on in standby mode consumes the least amount of power, and the on-demand fuser function allows the laser printer’s fusing unit to be heated only when needed, reducing power consumption to keep the machine on and ready to print.

            Canon’s i-SENSYS MF650 family includes the i-SENSYS MF651Cw with a convenient 12.7 cm color touch screen and a fast print speed of 18 ppm in both monochrome and color. The i-SENSYS MF655Cdw has a faster print speed of 21ppm and automatic two-sided printing, while the flagship i-SENSYS MF657Cdw is also fax-equipped and offers single-pass duplex scanning.

            Ease of use

            Regardless of the type, the device must be easy to use. The MAXIFY GX6040 and GX7040 inkjet printers make life easier by offering print, scan and photocopy capabilities with a 6.9 cm flip-out touchscreen. Convenient connectivity options let you connect to the cloud via the Canon PRINT app or using the printer’s touchscreen; What’s more, the printers are compatible with Apple AirPrint (iOS), Mopria (Android) and Chrome OS. In addition, both devices are equipped with 50-sheet automatic document feeders, while the MAXIFY GX7050 model supports single-pass duplex document scanning and direct fax capabilities.

            Canon i-SENSYS MF laser printers are equipped with a 12.7 cm touch screen and provide access to the Canon i-SENSYS application library, which provides high performance and ease of use, allowing you to customize applications and interface according to your preferences. i-SENSYS laser printer users also get access to Apple AirPrint (iOS), Mopria (Android), Chrome OS and the Canon PRINT Business app. The i-SENSYS MF645Cx and MF754Cdw models also offer fax functionality, making them a convenient solution for home and office, while the i-SENSYS MF750 series provides additional cloud connectivity options.

            Inkjet and laser printers: what to choose?

            Inkjet printers are better suited for photo printing, producing accurate colors and a richer color gamut than laser printers. Inkjet printers are more compact and are the best choice if you have limited space available. They often have a lower initial cost of ownership, and the refillable ink bottles in Canon’s ‘Printing Formula’ printers provide a lower cost of ownership than cartridges and toner.

            Canon i-SENSYS laser printers and Canon MAXIFY inkjet printers are ideal for printing business documents and other print products with priority on text printing. Canon i-SENSYS laser printers deliver cost-effective high-volume printing, increased print yields and high speeds – sometimes twice as fast as comparable inkjet printers – with no risk of smudges or show-through when duplexing.

            Canon’s MAXIFY GX inkjet printers and i-SENSYS laser printers are great for home use, home office and small corporate spaces. Enjoy a wide range of features, versatility, speed, reliability, economy and ease of use. For more information on which printer suits your needs, use the Canon Printer Finder Tool.

TOP 10 best iPhone car holders in 2023

Whether you’re listening to a podcast or in traffic, the iPhone is a key in-car accessory. There are apps to help you do just about anything. However, the iPhone should never be in your hand on the road – it is dangerous and illegal. Instead, find the best in-car holders and mounts for your iPhone

Apple’s new MagSafe feature on the iPhone 12 family opens up a whole new world of possibilities. Thus, magnetic iPhone holders are now more popular than ever. We’ll include a few of our favorites as well as a few classic options for any iPhone.

• Baseus Wireless Charging Holder
• Belkin Car Mount Magnetic
• ESR HaloLock Magnetic Wireless Car Charger
• UGREEN Gravity Car Mount
• Nite Ize Steelie Or biter Dash Kit
• Magnetic holder with Deppa charger Mage Safe Qi
• Belkin Boost Up Wireless Charging Holder
• Kenu Airframe Pro Holder
• Xiaomi Wireless Car Charger Holder 20W
• Baseus Universal Car Holder

Editor’s Note : We will regularly update this list of the best iPhone car holders as new accessories become available.

Baseus Wireless Charging Holder

Baseus

Wireless Charging Holder is the top of our list of iPhone car holders, but you don’t have to have the latest iPhone 12 to work. The device combines the functions of a phone holder, fixed on the deflector grille with a hook-shaped clip, and a wireless charger that support this function.

See also: Best iPhone Chargers Buyer’s Guide

Clamping in this device is automatic. When the infrared sensor detects the iPhone, the elements on the sides are fixed. The levers are made of durable aluminum alloy, they securely fix the smartphone and can keep it even on uneven roads. On the inside, the parts have a protective silicone layer to protect the iPhone from scuffs and scratches.

Belkin Car Mount Magnetic

Belkin Car Mount Magnetic

Belkin’s Magnetic Wireless Charging Car Mount attaches to the air vent on the dashboard of your car. It provides constant and safe charging of iPhone in any car, even in a case. The holder allows you to easily view and conveniently use the mobile device attached to it while on the move.

Unlike the previous Baseus holder, this model is inserted directly into the air conditioner vent. This limits the options for where to place it a bit, but you can still position the phone vertically or horizontally. Belkin even added a cable management system on the back so you can secure your Lightning cable.

ESR HaloLock Magnetic Wireless Car Charger Car Holder

ESR HaloLock Magnetic Wireless Car Charger Car Holder

Many of the magnetic car mounts featured in this guide will pair perfectly with your new iPhone 14, but we recommend this wireless mount and charger combination from ESR. It’s designed to stay secure, with a long kickstand and adjustable ball joint so you can reach it even if you have a big car.

UGREEN Gravity Car Holder

UGREEN Gravity Car Holder

This wireless charging car holder attaches to the interior ventilation grille with a simple push. When you install the iPhone in the holder, it is automatically clamped on both sides with “paws”. The only drawback of this car holder is that the smartphone can only be installed vertically, you cannot choose your own angle of inclination.

This mount is perfect for users who change vehicles frequently, such as bus drivers or owners of two or more vehicles. Not sure if the holder will fit your car’s wind deflector? Don’t worry! The product has wide compatibility, so you can successfully use it.

Nite Ize Steelie Orbiter Dash Kit Magnetic Holder

Nite Ize Steelie Orbiter Dash Kit Magnetic Holder

This Nite Ize Dash Kit works with all iPhone models, as well as Android devices, GPS and other handheld devices. You attach your phone to the dashboard with low-profile magnetic mount technology that keeps your phone front and center. Viewing angles are adjustable, allowing you to seamlessly move your device between portrait and landscape modes while the Orbitor holds your phone securely.

Deppa Mage Safe Qi Magnetic Charge Holder

Deppa Mage Safe Qi Magnetic Charge Holder

iPhone holder from one of the most popular manufacturers of accessories for Apple products. The smartphone is attached directly to the sliding sides, which guarantees a good fixation of all iPhone models. The holder itself is easy to fix on the windshield using a vacuum suction cup.

The iPhone holder extends a few centimeters, which greatly improves the visibility of your smartphone. It can also be rotated 180 degrees and adjusted to your liking. This feature is especially convenient for families where there are several drivers but one car.

Belkin Boost Up Wireless Charging Holder

Belkin Boost Up Wireless Charging Holder

We’ll end this list of iPhone in-car holders with another choice from Belkin – no magnets. Instead, two hands squeeze the iPhone to securely lock it in place. Belkin has opted for aluminum arms so durability isn’t an issue. A solid design comes at a price, but it’s better than going through a few weaker options.

Adjustable armrests allow for a wide variety of phones and the simple design is easy to use. There is a small clip on the back for the charging cable, but you need to find the strongest air vent to avoid accidents.

Kenu Airframe Pro Holder

Kenu Airframe+ is one of our favorite iPhone car mounts. It’s affordable, fits easily into a car’s air vent without blocking airflow, and expands to accommodate an even larger iPhone. The sides press against the iPhone to ensure a secure fit so you don’t have to worry about your iPhone falling off while driving.

Xiaomi Wireless Car Charger 20W

Xiaomi Wireless Car Charger 20W

Xiaomi Mi Wireless Car Charger is a stylish and convenient device for wireless smartphone charging in the car. The device is easily installed on the ventilation grill, connected to the on-board electrical network.

The device connects to the power system through the cigarette lighter or socket using a USB Type C cable. You can put smartphones with wireless charging function (fast – for compatible devices) that comply with the Qi standard.

Baseus universal car holder

Baseus universal car holder

The holder fits almost any car, just install it on the ventilation grille or dashboard. The width of the brackets allows you to mount devices with a diagonal of 4.7″ to 6.7″, making it suitable for most smartphone models available on the market.

Choose the solution that suits you best. The dashboard holder mount, unlike standard Baseus car holders, curves down without obstructing the road and creates the correct angle of inclination. At the same time, you can install it on the ventilation grill.

These are the best car holders for your best iPhone like the new iPhone 14 and iPhone 14 Pro. They’ll keep your phone out of your hands while you’re driving (and hopefully you won’t get a ticket!), and they’ll let you track your route and more on the go.

We have used Baseus for several generations of iPhones. Adjusts to any size. The vent clip rotates and adjusts to fit both standard and thick vent slats. Because it doesn’t use a magnet, you don’t need a special iPhone metal case or plate. You can even take it out of the car, stick a credit card into the vent clip, and voila! You have a stand for watching videos. Whether you’re looking for the best magnetic iPhone car mount or the best MagSafe car chargers, we’ve rounded them up.

Car holder for iPhone 12 with MagSafe

Many iPhone 12 owners who have a car would like to fix their phone on the holder using proprietary MagSafe technology. Why buy an ordinary magnetic holder, put it under a case or glue a metal washer when a system of powerful magnets is already built into the phone itself? But what if this holder will have wireless charging, with Qi technology? Thus, we kill two birds with one stone: the iPhone is securely fastened in the car and is charged while driving, sounds good, right?

MagSafe is a special technology from Apple based on a system of magnets. Thanks to specially placed magnets, the phone connects perfectly with various accessories and chargers. To use accessories with a case, you need a special case with integrated magnets of the MagSafe system.

Holder options for iPhone 12

Moving from theory to practice. Let’s see what the mobile accessory industry has to offer.

Belkin Car Vent Mount PRO

The Belkin Car Vent Mount Pro is one of the very first accessories officially introduced by Apple. It has a beautiful white color and a stylish design in the style of iPhone 12, the appearance is commendable. It is attached to the strip of the cabin air deflector. The device at first glance looks like the perfect accessory for the car. But there are a couple of nuances, firstly, it is still impossible to buy it in Russia, although they are available in America.

Secondly, the lack of wireless charging. It is not clear why Belkin did not integrate simple Qi standard wireless charging, now this technology is the most common and its cost for the manufacturer is minimal. Therefore, this device is used exclusively as a holder

Price: $40 in the USA, in Russia at the time of publication the holder is not available for purchase.

The perfect holder for iPhone 12

After looking at Apple’s official line of accessories, it’s a bit sad that we don’t get anything interesting with MagSafe for the car. Therefore, let’s turn our eyes towards China and see what is on Aliexpress.

And oddly enough, the Chinese managed to hurry up and implemented an alternative to the official holder from Belkin with a similar design and the possibility of wireless charging! We order the holder, wait from 7 to 15 days and now we have it in our hands.

Look at aliexpress

Verified car holder for iPhone with Magsafe. By clicking on the picture, you can go to the product on Ali.

The appearance of the holder

When ordering from aliexpress, an experienced buyer is always ready for the purchase to upset him. Cunning Chinese have long learned to make beautiful descriptions, photos and renderings, but you won’t look at some products live without tears. But this time, aliexpress did not let us down, the iPhone holder has a beautiful appearance. The front part is made of soft soft-touch plastic, the back part is made of an unknown metal alloy visually similar to aluminum.

iPhone 12 magnetization strength

The main question about this holder, which we were interested in, is how well it will magnetize and how well your iPhone 12 will hold. In fact, we were pleasantly surprised by the work of the magnets of the holder, the phone is clearly and confidently magnetized, and does not tear it off with strong shaking. You can not be afraid of bad roads and pits, your iPhone will not come off.

Wireless charging operation and power.

Wireless charging works on Qi technology, iPhone charges at a power of 7.5 watts, which is enough for unhurried charging with the screen on and navigation. If you have a short trip ahead of you, then wireless charging will add a few percent of the charge during the trip. If you need to get the maximum amount of charge, use a wire and a fast power supply with Power Delivery technology, such as this one.

We noticed a strange feature, iPhone charging is not always on the same level. Sometimes the charging current decreases, while the phone keeps the same percentage of charge when the screen is on, most often this happens when the iPhone’s charge is above 60 percent. Most likely this is due to the operation of the Qi protocol.

Please note that if your car’s cigarette lighter has a 5 volt power supply, you will not see the MagSafe animation. In this case, most likely the phone will charge at a lower power. Therefore, immediately buy a power supply that supports Power Delivery or Quick Charge protocols.

Connectors and interfaces

The holder has a type C connector for connecting a cable for wireless charging and a blue LED pointing downwards. The LED shines absolutely unobtrusively and in no way distracts the driver.

The inside of the holder

We took it apart and looked at the contents of the case. Inside we see a board and a coil for wireless charging and a powerful magnetic ring, everything is quite simple, clear and functional.

Price: $18 on aliexpress

See on aliexpress

ESR HaloLock holder with MagSafe support

Another decent iPhone holder with MagSafe support from ESR. It has similar functionality to the previous model, but at the same time in a more compact form factor, more like classic magnetic holders.

ESR Halolock for aliexpress

ESR HaloLock holder with MagSafe support. Compact body and wireless charging. When you click on the picture – the goods on Ali.

Also charges an iPhone at 7.5 watts, has a magsafe animation when charging from a power supply that supports fast charging. Good reviews make it clear that this is a worthy holder, which is worth paying attention to.

We’ve bought and tested more than 65 Sony TVs. The best Sony TVs are generally a pretty safe bet when looking for the best TV for your needs. They tend to have great picture quality, a few extra features, and good color accuracy. Their high-end and mid-range models compete well with other brands, although at a price premium. Sadly, they don’t offer many budget-friendly options.

   The best Sony TV we’ve tested is the Sony A95K OLED. This impressive TV delivers incredible picture quality in any viewing environment thanks to its QD-OLED panel technology. Dark scenes look incredible, with perfect contrast and no distracting blooming around bright highlights in dark scenes. Colors are vibrant and lifelike, and the TV can display an incredibly wide range of colors. Thanks to Sony’s excellent processing capabilities, it delivers an image that closely matches the content creator’s intent, with nearly perfect PQ-EOTF tracking and fantastic gradient processing, making this a fantastic choice for cinephiles who care about image fidelity.

   It also has an impressive array of gaming features, including HDMI 2.1 bandwidth for 4k @ 120Hz gaming. It’s part of Sony’s ‘Perfect for PS5’ lineup, which offers a few unique features that help ensure you get the best experience possible when gaming on PS5, like Auto HDR Tone Mapping and Auto Genre Picture Mode. It supports a wide range of formats, including Dolby Vision HDR, and it supports eARC audio passthrough and all common audio formats, so you can spend more time enjoying your favorite movies and less time playing with settings and worrying about format support.

   The best upper mid-range Sony TV we’ve tested is the Sony X95K. Unlike the Sony A95K OLED, which uses a QD-OLED panel to deliver deep blacks, the X95K uses a Mini LED full array backlight to reduce the backlight intensity on a zone-by-zone basis. It results in much brighter highlights than the A95K, but there’s more blooming around bright objects. The A95K is the best choice for a perfectly dark room, while the X95K is better suited for a bright room.

   Like all Sony TVs, the X95K runs the Google TV smart interface, which is fast and easy to use. It has a great selection of streaming apps, and the built-in Google Play Store makes it easy to find others. It also has a few great gaming features, similar to the Sony A95K OLED, and it’s also part of Sony’s ‘Perfect for PS5’ lineup, with support for 4k @ 120Hz gaming and advanced features like Auto HDR Tone Mapping.

   If you want something cheaper than the Sony X95K but don’t want to sacrifice picture quality too much, the best mid-range Sony TV we’ve tested is the Sony X90K. It’s a great TV overall with great picture quality. It has an excellent contrast ratio and decent black uniformity, but unlike the X95K, it doesn’t have a Mini LED backlight, so there’s a bit more blooming around bright objects with local dimming.

   It has worse reflection handling and a narrower viewing angle than the Sony X95K, so it’s not as well-suited for a wide seating arrangement. It has excellent peak brightness, though, despite the worse reflection handling, it’s still a great choice for a bright living room. It has the same great gaming features as the more expensive Sony TVs, and it runs the same great Google TV interface with a great selection of streaming apps.

   While Sony doesn’t offer truly budget TVs like other brands, and you can find some cheaper TVs elsewhere, they do have a few models that are cheaper than the rest, like the Sony X80K. It’s the entry-level TV in their 2022 lineup, so you can save some money if you want to give up all the gaming and other higher-end features like local dimming. However, its picture quality isn’t nearly as good as the Sony X90K, especially in dark rooms, because it has a different panel type with a low native contrast ratio that results in blacks that look gray. Instead, it has a wide viewing angle that makes the image remain accurate when viewed from the sides, which is ideal for wide seating arrangements.

   Since this TV doesn’t look good in dark rooms, it’s best to use it in a well-lit environment because it has decent peak brightness and decent reflection handling, so it performs well with a few lights around. Like most Sony displays, the out-of-the-box accuracy is excellent, and it comes with the same great Google TV interface, making it easy to stream your favorite content, and you won’t have to use an external streaming device.

Compared to other brands

• Versatile lineup.
  Sony is one of a few companies that make both OLED and LED options. It means that you have the option to choose either panel if you want to buy a Sony TV, and both their OLEDs and LED TVs provide good picture quality.
• Great upscaling and motion handling.
  Sony TVs, even the cheaper models, do better than the competition at upscaling lower-resolution content, and they offer great motion handling.
• Great color accuracy.
  Sony TVs are known for their excellent out-of-the-box accuracy, especially the high-end models. You likely won’t need to calibrate your Sony TV to enjoy the best viewing experience.

• High price.
  Sony TVs are most often priced above the competition in their category, meaning you can find better value elsewhere.

Sony vs Samsung

Samsung TVs have a picture quality comparable to Sony TVs, and in general, they’re pretty competitive with each other. A big difference is that Samsung has better gaming performance, but if you don’t need that, either brand is a good choice.

Sony vs LG

Sony and LG each make OLED and LED TVs. LG is the dominant OLED brand for OLEDs because they have better gaming performance and generally cost less. However, Sony’s LED models are far better than LG’s because they get brighter, have better uniformity, and usually have better contrast.

As a rule of thumb, it’s pretty hard to go wrong when buying a Sony TV, especially if you don’t need it for competitive gaming. Their more entry-level offerings aren’t great, but any of the high-end LED and OLED models are a safe bet. Their Google TV smart platform offers tons of apps to download with an easy-to-use interface. You might pay a slight premium over competing models, but you’ll usually end up with a good TV.

Lineup

2023 Lineup

Sony skipped CES in 2023, instead choosing to announce their 2023 lineup at an event on March 1st, 2023. There are no real surprises this year, as they keep the lineup largely the same as in 2022, with a few new features and updated processors. Most of their new TVs feature new gaming features, including a new Game Menu. Sony is keeping the same XR Cognitive Processor from the 2022 models, but they’ve added a new XR Clear Image feature that’s advertised to improve upscaling quality.

Model names

Their product naming is easy to understand, and the 2022 lineup follows the same naming convention as in past years. If the model starts with A, it’s an OLED; if it’s X, it’s an LED, and their Z Series is 8k. Next comes the model number, and the higher the number, the better. Lastly, the suffix letter indicates the year. So, for example, the Sony X800H is an entry-level LED model from 2020, while the A90J is a high-end OLED model from 2021.

• *L = 2023
• *K = 2022
• *J = 2021

Since 2021, all their TVs share the same model number worldwide, making it easy to identify models if you’re shopping from a different region. That’s not to say they’re completely identical, though, as there are some slight regional differences, and not all models are available worldwide.

Sony Smart Features

Sony has traditionally used Android TV as its smart operating system, and as of 2021, they’ve started to use Google TV instead. It’s pretty much the same as Android, with a redesigned look and a few extra features. Those who already have Google or Android-based devices will already know how to navigate the interface, while there might be a small learning curve for others. The great thing about Sony TVs is that they have Google Chromecast built-in, so you don’t have to buy an external device to cast compatible content from your phone or tablet. If you already have other Google devices, like Google Nest speakers, they’ll easily connect with the TV, and you can ask your speaker to play content directly on the TV.

Interface

The interface is clean and pretty simple to navigate. It’s divided into multiple rows, and each row presents content from different apps. These rows can be customized to your liking or even disabled completely. The interface isn’t very fancy, which makes it much easier to navigate.

Ad-free

While Android TV occasionally didn’t have any ads and there was a way to disable them, Google TV pushes ads, and there’s no way to disable them. You’ll see suggested content directly on the home page, and often it’ll be the first thing you’ll see with a large banner in front. You can opt out of suggested content, but that just means you’ll see untargeted ads instead.

Apps & Features

As expected, Google TV offers access to the Google Play Store, which has a massive selection of apps to download, even more so than competing brands. You won’t have any issues finding your favorite streaming apps.

Voice Controls

One area where Google TV excels is voice search, which gives you access to Google Assistant. Press the Google Assistant button on the remote and say what you’re looking for, and Google TV will deliver suggestions from the Play Store, YouTube, and relevant results from downloaded apps. It’s a convenient way to navigate content quickly and is often much faster than using the remote. You can also use it to change certain settings, like asking it to switch inputs or increase the brightness.

Remote

Sony released a redesigned remote in 2022. Unlike their past models, it doesn’t have a Numpad and instead has a ‘123’ button that brings up a virtual Numpad on the screen. However, it still has the same quick-access buttons to popular streaming services and has a button to quickly bring up Google Assistant. While most models ship with this remote, certain models are available from some retailers with a higher-end version with backlighting.

Conclusion

While they tend not to be the cheapest, Sony produces great TVs. They’ll generally be quite versatile, which helps to make them suitable for most people. The smart features can take some time to learn for some people, but the overall package offered by their TVs is still better than average. At this point, it’s fairly safe to say that their overall reputation holds, and rare are the people that will find themselves disappointed by purchasing one of their TVs.
