Design

Samsung QE50Q60A design

We have an interesting design that stands out mainly for how thin its body is

The first positive that we find in the Samsung 50Q60A is that it offers us a very remarkable design that looks good in practically any position. We can enjoy a different style from what is used to seeing. A notable point is its size, which tends to fit better in any location, especially for medium-sized rooms .

We are only going to find it in black, which fascinates us because of the great presence that this television manages to exploit . The best of all is that regardless of the angle from which it is viewed, the exposed beauty will be maintained. Another positive detail is that the front shows us some thin bezels that generate greater elegance.

Likewise, this allows us that the content that is reproduced has a better relationship with the dimensions of the screen. The advantage is that a useful screen area of ​​almost 94% is achieved . The rear view maintains the fine aspect that stands out from this model, and as a recommendation we can tell you that it is best to place it directly on the wall.

Connectivity

We have a simple connectivity that adds only the necessary connectors, this gives us a cleaner view at the rear. Among the most notorious connections we have three HDMI 2.0 inputs that end up being the busiest, since they allow us to connect an interesting variety of external devices. Likewise, there are two USB 2.0 ports with the possibility to record content, although the transmission is slow due to the version .

Another option that we are going to occupy is its satellite input, likewise, an interesting variety of tuners are included that you can know in the specifications table above. We also have an optical audio output and an Ethernet port . In the wireless we will not have problems and we will enjoy Wi-Fi for internet use, on the other hand, we include Bluetooth to make use of some devices without the need to connect cables.

Image quality and general functions of the Samsung QE50Q60A

The Samsung QE50Q60A gives us a great experience at the image level, and that is due to the good optimization that they have given to this model, in addition to including an interesting number of technologies for its improvement . First of all, we find a 4K resolution that, unlike minor definitions, gives us more realistic details.

It has a QLED panel that offers a more than acceptable backlight, obviously because it has more power than what is in the LED . Thanks to this we do not have the need to look for a special placement so that the television does not lose quality, especially if we are talking about very dark or bright environments that are the ones that affect the most.

As we mentioned at the beginning of this section, we have the advantage of receiving some enhancement technologies, and one of the most attractive is Quantum Dot, which is responsible for reproducing 100% of the color volume so that it looks more vivid and accurate. With the rest of the functions, a good balance will be maintained in parameters such as contrast , brightness and saturation .

Sound

We could say that the weakest point of the Samsung QE50Q60AAUXXC is its audio quality, but not necessarily because the experience is completely bad, however, it does not compare with the efficient offered in other aspects that we have already seen. In this case we only have two speakers that give us a total power of 20W .

This is normal within the mid-range, however, in this case we have extra help thanks to the technologies that are added, which try to offer a more immersive and clean experience. Here we highlight the inclusion of Dolby Digital Plus and Adaptive Sound , although we also have Surround Sound for greater precision.

Samsung 50Q60A Software / Smart TV Review and More

Samsung QE50Q60A Smart TV

We have great benefits thanks to the inclusion of the latest Tizen update

Among the highlights of the Samsung 50Q60A we have that we include Tizen 6.0 that offers us a better optimization, therefore, the browsing speed will feel much better. As if that were not enough, it offers us a more extensive catalog of applications than the past, yes, it maintains the most popular ones such as Netflix , YouTube , Prime Video and Disney + .

Another interesting aspect is that it has virtual assistants that give us a better experience when using the television, since we are going to control different functions using only our voice. For this case, three possible options are added, such as Google Assistant , Amazon Alexa and Bixby, three of the best options currently.

Another important application is Apple AirPlay 2 that allows us to transmit content with good stability from complicated devices to other televisions such as iPhone or iPad. We have Tap View that automatically sends the content that we are watching from our smartphone. It supports HDR10 , HDR10 + and HLG .
