I tested Samsung's mid-range QLED TV and while it has some strengths, it can't compete with better value mini-LED TVs from TCL and Hisense

Samsung Q8F: Two-minute review

The Samsung Q8F is a mixed bag of a TV. It has a decent array of features, a nice design and solid enough picture quality, but a lack of key gaming features, along with average sound quality, hold it back. And with plenty of budget rival mini-LEDs on the market, such as the TCL C7K, one of 2025’s best TVs, the Q8F’s price is a tough ask.
