Amazon Renewed Tv Review
Our verdict
This is a renewed Samsung 85-inch QLED 4K TV running Tizen, sold through Amazon Renewed at $2,247.95. QLED technology and 85 inches is a compelling combination on paper, but a single review means there is essentially no buyer data to validate quality or consistency.

1 owner reviews, fewer than most models here
The overall score is owner satisfaction weighted by how many reviews back it, so a high rating from few reviews counts for less. The bars below show where this model stands against the other LED, QLED and OLED TVs plus TV mounts, streaming media players, antennas, cables and satellite gear we track in this category on price, popularity and size. Context, not marks against it, and our read of the data, not a lab test.
Overview
QLED panels use quantum dot technology layered over an LED backlight, which improves color volume and peak brightness compared to standard LED. At 85 inches, the benefit of that color accuracy becomes more apparent, especially for HDR movie content and sports in well-lit rooms.
Samsung Tizen is one of the most capable smart TV platforms, with fast navigation, full app coverage, and Samsung SmartThings integration. Connectivity includes Bluetooth, HDMI, and Wi-Fi. The set weighs 100.1 pounds, which calls for a heavy-duty wall mount or a dedicated stand.
At $2,247.95, the price is considerably above where new 85-inch standard LED TVs land, justified partly by the QLED panel and Samsung's brand premium. With just one review at 5 stars, there is no real buyer history. For a purchase at this price, that thin sample is a legitimate concern.
Pros
- QLED technology delivers better color and brightness than standard LED
- 85-inch screen size for a genuinely cinematic home viewing experience
- Samsung Tizen is a fast, polished, and well-supported smart OS
- Potentially below new-unit pricing for an 85-inch Samsung QLED
Cons
- Only 1 review, no usable buyer reliability data
- Renewed unit means unknown prior usage at $2,247 risk level
- 100.1 pounds requires serious mounting or stand planning
- No Ethernet listed, Wi-Fi and Bluetooth only
Performance notes
Display is QLED at 85 inches, 4K UHD resolution. Smart platform is Tizen. Connectivity includes Bluetooth, HDMI, and Wi-Fi. No refresh rate is listed in the available data. Weight is 100.1 pounds. The QLED layer provides wider color gamut than standard LED at the same price tier, which is the primary technical advantage of this model.
What buyers say
One review at 5 stars provides no actionable signal whatsoever. At over $2,000, a single positive review should not be a deciding factor. Shoppers should look for the original new-unit model's review history as a proxy, or wait for this specific renewed listing to accumulate more buyer feedback.

Frequently asked questions
What makes QLED different from standard LED on this Samsung?
QLED adds a quantum dot film over the LED backlight, which converts blue light into a wider range of colors. The result is higher peak brightness, better color saturation, and more vivid picture performance in bright rooms compared to a standard LED panel of the same size. It is a meaningful step up, though it does not match OLED for true black levels.
Is it safe to buy a $2,000 TV as a renewed unit with only one review?
The Amazon Renewed guarantee provides a 90-day replacement or refund period, which offers some protection. However, a single review at this price point is not enough to validate unit consistency. If possible, search for the original model number under new listings to read its full review history, and weigh the savings against the uncertainty.
What does the setup process look like for an 85-inch TV?
A TV this size and weight typically requires two people for unboxing and positioning. Wall mounting an 85-inch, 100-pound set calls for a heavy-duty mount rated well above the TV's weight and installation into wall studs. Samsung's Tizen setup wizard walks you through network connection and initial calibration, which is straightforward once the physical placement is sorted.
