Samsung QN85F 65-inch Neo QLED LED 4K Smart TV 2025 (QA65QN85FAWXXY)

Samsung’s QN85F 65-inch Neo QLED 4K Smart TV is designed to deliver a premium experience across picture, sound and smart functionality. With a screen size of 165 centimetres, it has the scale to anchor a living room, but it’s the underlying technology that makes it stand out. At its core is the NQ4 AI Gen2 processor, an advanced chip that applies artificial intelligence across image and audio processing. It draws on twenty neural networks to analyse incoming content and enhance it in real time, sharpening fine detail, improving contrast and scaling lower-resolution sources to near-4K quality. This means whether you’re streaming a series in standard HD or watching a live sport broadcast, the clarity feels consistently polished.

The picture is further elevated by Samsung’s Quantum Matrix Technology Plus. This is the company’s take on mini-LED backlighting, where thousands of tiny light sources are controlled with precision to deliver a much more nuanced contrast than traditional LED televisions. Bright scenes gain intensity without blowing out highlights, while darker areas of the frame maintain depth and subtle gradations instead of collapsing into flat black. Pair that with Neo Quantum HDR+ and the TV is capable of reproducing vibrant colours and finely balanced luminance across a wide range of content, from moody dramas to animated films.

Audio has not been overlooked either. Dolby Atmos support creates a more immersive soundstage, giving the impression that effects and dialogue are moving around you rather than being anchored to the screen. Complementing that is Adaptive Sound Pro, which uses AI analysis to adjust output according to what you are watching. Dialogue is made more prominent in busy scenes, while action sequences are given added punch. Together, these features allow the TV to sound fuller and more spacious without the need for an immediate investment in a soundbar.

As a smart television, the QN85F runs Samsung’s Tizen operating system. The interface is clean, fast and designed for easy access to apps and services, whether that’s Netflix, Disney+, Stan or live catch-up TV. One important detail is Samsung’s commitment to software longevity: this model comes with seven years of guaranteed Tizen OS updates from its 2025 release, ensuring it remains supported well into the next decade. Beyond entertainment, the TV also integrates with Samsung’s SmartThings platform, enabling control over compatible smart home devices directly from the screen. Lights, appliances and even security cameras can be monitored or adjusted without reaching for a phone.

There are also thoughtful lifestyle touches. The Art Store transforms the display into a digital gallery, presenting curated artworks or ambient visuals when you’re not actively watching. It helps the large panel blend more seamlessly into a room, especially in modern open-plan living areas. Connectivity is equally comprehensive, with four HDMI ports, USB, ethernet and built-in Wi-Fi, plus support for Apple’s AirPlay 2, giving you flexibility when connecting external devices or casting content.

The television was released in Australia on 6 May 2025 and has a recommended retail price of $2,499 which places it in the premium mid-range bracket of Samsung’s line-up. For anyone seeking a balance of high-end picture technology, immersive audio and forward-looking smart features, this model presents itself as a well-rounded choice that combines cutting-edge performance with long-term support.
