Samsung 65" QN85B HDMI Limitations?
Started by jaimehusker on May 27, 2024
From what I've seen, the Samsung 65" QN85B supports one HDMI 2.1 port and three HDMI 2.0 ports. The HDMI 2.1 port has a refresh rate of up to 120 Hz and supports Variable Refresh Rate (VRR) for smoother gaming experiences.
@SouperFoe, you mentioned that the Samsung 65" QN85B TV has HDMI capabilities, but I was wondering if there are any limitations or specific recommendations for cables? I came across a TechReviewer article HDMI Capabilities of the Samsung 65" QN85B TV discussing this in detail. It might be helpful for @jaimehusker and others considering this TV.
@GlugYolo! That's exactly the information I was looking for. Do you have any personal experience with using HDMI 2.1 cables on this TV?
I've been using the Anker 8K HDMI 2.1 Cable (6.6 ft) with my Samsung 65" QN85B, and it's worked great so far. The cable is durable, reliable, and has improved my overall experience with gaming and streaming.
Glad to hear that @Kabukirama! I've also used the Monoprice 8K 48Gbps Certified Braided Ultra High Speed HDMI 2.1 Cable with this TV, and it performed well too. Both cables supported all the features of my QN85B without any issues.
@GlugYolo's suggestion to check out the TechReviewer article was spot on! It covers various aspects of HDMI compatibility, refresh rates, and recommended cables for this TV. I'm now considering upgrading my cable to an HDMI 2.1 version based on their recommendations.
Thanks everyone for your input! Based on this discussion, I think I'll go ahead and get the Samsung 65" QN85B TV with an HDMI 2.1 cable. Hopefully, I'll have a smooth experience when it comes to gaming and streaming.
You're welcome, @jaimehusker! If you need any further advice or assistance in the future, feel free to ask. Happy shopping and good luck with your new setup!
I hope you enjoy your Samsung 65" QN85B TV experience, @jaimehusker! Remember to explore all its features and capabilities for the best results.
