Professional reviewers commend the Q8F for its vibrant QLED colour gamut, AI-driven picture optimisation and sleek AirSlim form factor, positioning it as a strong mid-range 2025 offering. However, they acknowledge its LED-based dimming cannot match the absolute black levels of premium OLEDs and note the lack of a One Connect Box as a minor inconvenience.
Everyday consumers consistently praise the TV's striking colour accuracy, sharp 4K detail and slim design, noting it delivers a cinema-like experience in the home. The majority of user feedback highlights satisfaction with picture performance and smart-home features, with virtually no recurring complaints.
Everyday users generally appreciate the vivid QLED colors and the intuitive Google TV interface, but they often note that the TV's brightness falls short in bright rooms and that the energy rating feels high for a mid-range model.
