501 owner reviews, more 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
At 85 inches, the QN85QN70FAFXZA fills a large wall with QLED color and a 120 Hz native panel. The 4K UHD resolution keeps content sharp at normal seating distances, and the 120 Hz rate makes fast-moving sports and action scenes look cleaner than 60 Hz sets at the same price tier.
Connectivity covers Bluetooth, Ethernet, HDMI, USB, and Wi-Fi, so you have wired and wireless options for streaming, gaming, and peripherals. The Tizen smart platform is one of the more polished TV operating systems around, with a quick interface and broad app support. At 91.9 lb the set is heavy, so plan for a two-person wall-mount job.
At $1,462.95, this sits in competitive territory for an 85-inch QLED from Samsung. The 4.4 stars across 501 buyers points to consistent satisfaction, not just early-adopter enthusiasm. If you want big-screen QLED without the premium of the QN90 or QN85 lines, this is a reasonable path.
Pros
- 85-inch QLED screen delivers vivid, punchy color
- 120 Hz panel reduces motion blur on sports and action
- Full connectivity: Bluetooth, Ethernet, HDMI, USB, Wi-Fi
- Tizen OS is fast and easy to navigate
- 4.4-star average backed by 501 real buyer reviews
Cons
- 91.9 lb weight requires two people and a sturdy wall mount
- No HDR spec listed, so peak brightness performance is uncertain
- Priced at $1,462.95, it costs more than comparable Hisense or TCL 85-inch options
Performance notes

Frequently asked questions
Does the Samsung QN85QN70FAFXZA support 120 Hz for gaming?
Yes, the panel is rated at 120 Hz. For gaming, this means smoother frame rendering compared to 60 Hz sets. You will want to confirm HDMI 2.1 port availability on your specific unit to take full advantage of 4K 120 Hz input from a current-gen console.
How heavy is the QN85QN70FAFXZA and can one person mount it?
The set weighs 91.9 lb, so two people are strongly recommended for any wall-mount installation. At 74.9 inches wide, you also need a helper just to safely maneuver it into position without risking damage to the screen or injury.
Is Tizen a good smart TV platform for streaming?
Tizen is Samsung's own operating system and is widely regarded as one of the faster, cleaner TV platforms available. It supports all major streaming apps including Netflix, Prime Video, Disney Plus, and more. The interface responds quickly and app updates are delivered regularly.
