A: Hi, thanks for reaching out about Samsung Class QLED Q8F 4K Samsung Vision AI Smart TV. That's a very specific and excellent set of questions, as those technical specs determine the picture quality! The Samsung QLED Q8F series you referenced (which appears to be a 2025 model year) uses a different lighting and refresh rate configuration than its older counterparts. Here are the confirmed specifications for the Samsung 55" Class Q8F QLED 4K Smart TV: 💡 Backlight Technology The Samsung Q8F uses a Direct Full Array (Direct LED) backlight, not Edge-Lit or Mini-LED. Lighting Type: Direct LED (Direct Full Array) What it means: The LEDs are placed directly behind the entire screen (Direct), and the Full Array Local Dimming (FALD) allows the TV to control specific groups of LEDs to make sections of the screen darker or brighter independently. Why it matters: This provides much better contrast and deeper blacks than an Edge-Lit TV, as it allows for more localized control of light. It is a step up from Edge-Lit but a step below the more precise Mini-LED technology found in Samsung's Neo QLED line. 🔄 Native Refresh Rate The 55-inch Q8F model has a 120 Hz native refresh rate. Native Refresh Rate: 120 Hz Motion Xcelerator: Samsung markets the motion handling technology on this model as Motion Xcelerator 144Hz (or Motion Rate 240/480, depending on the region/marketing). This indicates that it can accept and display content up to 120 frames per second (120 Hz) from standard devices and up to 144 Hz from a compatible PC gaming source. Why it matters: A 120 Hz native panel is excellent for sports, action movies, and fast-paced video gaming, as it reduces motion blur and lag compared to a 60 Hz TV.

A: Hi, thanks for reaching out about Samsung Class QLED Q8F 4K Samsung Vision AI Smart TV While it doesn't support picture in picture it offers similar functionality with Samsung Multiview. If you have any additional questions, we welcome you to contact MyTGTtech at 833-848-8324 every day, between 7am-11pm CST.

A: Multi View includes Picture-in-Picture (PiP) capability, allowing you to watch content from two sources at the same time. For example, you can play an app, HDMI device, or live TV on the main screen, while mirroring your phone to the smaller PiP window. You can also choose the location of the PiP screen – top left, top right, bottom left, or bottom right – and move it later if needed. Please note that two HDMI sources cannot be viewed simultaneously. ~ Samsung Specialist

A: Yeah, don't do it. I bought a Samsung QLED for fully covered outdoor use (protected by weatherproof cover when not in use) for football season last year. It lasted 3 Saturdays. Plus, since it was outdoors, Samsung said the warranty coverage was void.

A: Hi Levitman, thanks for reaching out about Samsung Class QLED Q8F 4K Samsung Vision AI Smart TV. While the Samsung Class QLED Q8F 4K TV is not designed for outdoor use, it's lifespan will be significantly reduced if used outside, especially in direct sunlight and extreme temperatures. Though QLED TVs can last around 70,000 hours under normal use, environmental factors like heat, humidity, and UV radiation will accelerate its degradation. There are no tests that provide how much outdoor use will affect it. If you have any additional questions, we welcome you to contact MyTGTtech at 833-848-8324 every day, between 7am-11pm CST.

A: Hi Craig - Yes, the Q8F Series features an Optical port. ~ Samsung Specialist

A: Hi, thank you for reaching out about Samsung Class QLED Q8F 4K Samsung Vision AI Smart TV. Yes, the Samsung Class QLED Q8F 4K Samsung Vision AI Smart TV can be mounted on the wall using a standard VESA-compatible wall mount.

A: Hi, thanks for reaching out about Samsung Class QLED Q8F 4K Samsung Vision AI Smart TV. This is a great question. The answer is Yes, this TV can be mounted on a wall mount already on the wall, but you need to check a few critical details to ensure compatibility. The Samsung Class QLED Q8F uses the VESA standard for mounting, which is universal across almost all modern TVs and wall mounts.

A: Hi, thanks for reaching out about Samsung Class QLED Q8F 4K Samsung Vision AI Smart TV. When you see 60 Hz listed for a smaller Q8F model, that is the true hardware limit for the input signal (like from a PS5 or PC). The higher number (120 Hz) applies only to the larger TV sizes in the same Q8F series. If you plan on high-frame-rate gaming (120 FPS), you must confirm you are purchasing a Q8F model that is 55 inches or larger. If you have any additional questions, we welcome you to contact MyTGTtech at 833-848-8324 every day, between 7am-11pm CST.

A: Hi momof3boys - The Q8F TV offers Dual LED backlighting to deliver vivid images with improved contrast, off-axis viewing, and color accuracy. Starting with our QN90F, you’ll gain Wide Viewing Angle and Glare Free technology to provide you with wider viewing angles, enhanced color, and minimized glare to help you enjoy shows without distractions. ~ Samsung Specialist

A: Hi, thanks for reaching out about Samsung Class QLED Q8F 4K Samsung Vision AI Smart TV. The Samsung Q8F and Q7F are both 4K QLED smart TVs from the same lineup, but the Q8F is the higher-tier model with several key upgrades that impact picture quality, audio, and gaming performance. If you are a casual viewer who primarily watches standard TV shows and movies, the Q7F offers a great QLED experience at a lower price. However, if you are a cinephile, a serious gamer, or someone who values the best possible picture and sound quality with deeper blacks and smoother motion, the Q8F is absolutely worth the upgrade.
