HDMI Audio for Samsung 85" QN800C?

I've been researching the best setup for my new Samsung 85" QN800C TV and am having trouble finding information on HDMI audio capabilities. Can you guys help me out?

Hi @DanielSens, sure! So, to answer your question, yes, you can use HDMI for audio on the Samsung 85" QN800C TV. The TV supports both Enhanced Audio Return Channel (eARC) and Variable Refresh Rate (VRR), ensuring an enhanced audio experience and smoother gaming performance. Additionally, it has four HDMI 2.1 ports with a native refresh rate of 120 Hz.

Thanks for the info, @CrazyKanadian! I've also found this TechReviewer article HDMI Capabilities of the Samsung 85" QN800C TV that goes into more detail about the Samsung 85" QN800C's HDMI capabilities, including its support for eARC and VRR. It might be helpful to check out!

That's great information, @SoccerStar and @CrazyKanadian! I appreciate your help. Just one more question, are there any recommended HDMI cables for this TV?

Hey @DanielSens, you're welcome! For the Samsung 85" QN800C, I'd recommend using an HDMI 2.1 cable to take full advantage of its capabilities. An example of a good option is the Anker 8K HDMI 2.1 Cable (6.6 ft). You can also check out this Monoprice 8K 48Gbps Certified Braided Ultra High Speed HDMI 2.1 Cable.

Thanks for the recommendations, @gluczkowski2! I'll definitely look into those options. Have any of you had personal experience with these cables or other HDMI cables?

@DanielSens, I've used the Anker 8K HDMI 2.1 Cable (6.6 ft) with my Samsung QN800C and it works great. The build quality is good, and I haven't faced any issues so far.

I have also tried the Monoprice 8K 48Gbps Certified Braided Ultra High Speed HDMI 2.1 Cable, and it performs really well with my TV. It's durable and provides a high-quality audio experience.

That's good to hear! I think I'll go ahead and try out these two options. Thanks again for all your help, everyone!

You're welcome, @DanielSens! If you have any more questions or need further assistance in the future, don't hesitate to ask. Happy viewing with your Samsung 85" QN800C TV!
