A brief overview of the differences between the Samsung 8K 2019 and 2020 TVs
What is the difference between Q900R TVs and Q800T. Consider the screens in the 2019 TV, the Q900R uses a matrix made by VA technology. The Q800T model is equipped with a matrix made by MVA technology. VA is the generic name for matrix type, MVA modification. The differences are not very significant and can not be taken into account. Screen dimming technology is announced 24x in 65 and 75-inch models, in the 82Q800T 32x. The Q900R had 16x, whether it affects the image quality most likely has practically no effect, the names are 16x, 24x, 32x, these are marketing names and have nothing to do with the actual number of dimming zones.
The design also changed, a feature of the TV was a stand in the form of a curved plate. The sound in the Q800T model was improved, six speakers and two subwoofers were installed, surround sound is supported. Reduced the number of USB ports instead of three, in the Q800T model there are only two.
Other parameters have not changed. What can be said about Samsung 8K TVs, their advantage is a screen with a resolution of 8K, but the TV is mainly intended for viewing video with a lower resolution, for scaling the image. Note that the image resolution is worse than Full HD, on such a TV is not suitable for viewing.
