I’m considering picking up the SAMSUNG QN85QN85AA 85" Neo QLED 4K UHD Smart TV, but since it’s used and doesn’t come with manufacturer coverage, I’m a bit hesitant.

I’ve heard great things about the picture quality with Neo QLED technology, but how does it hold up in real-world settings? Is the color accuracy and brightness as impressive as they say?

Also, sound quality is important to me. I know these TVs often come with decent built-in speakers, but are they good enough, or would I need to invest in a soundbar to enhance the experience?

Finally, I’d love to hear about any potential downsides. Are there common issues with this model, especially being a used unit? Any advice or insights would be greatly appreciated!

This TV is awesome! It took me a bit to figure out all the menus and how to navigate through the channels, but once I got the hang of it, I was good to go. And can we talk about the remote? Super user-friendly!
