Samsung Q60C QLED Review - Worth your money?

[@scottweaverphotovideo]

You're the second reviewer that says it has bad angle view. I'm a pro photographer so I understand image quality. I returned a TCL unit because it had TERRIBLE angle viewing. So... I replaced it with this Samsung. I checked the angle viewing and I could not detect angle view issues. Too many reviewers base everything on the tech tests rather than the actual human experience.

[@stefanassmann7082]

The performance you get for relatively little money will make most people, who are not picky about every detail, very happy. Of course, you shouldn't compare it with high-end models, but it does its job very well. I'm very happy with it, especially because it's really bright. Gaming is superb and everything looks excellent to me. At the moment, I see no reason to pay a few thousand euros more just to have the best model. If you are looking for an affordable television with great quality, you should definitely take a look at the Q60C.

[@alexg963]

Thank you (and the other commenters here) for providing some more reasonable input. I’ve been looking on other forums like the 4K tv subreddit, and everyone just trashes any model that’s not in the high-end tier (which is honestly typical for most niche subreddits like that). I’m no picture snob, but I’ve wanted a decent looking 43in qled tv to use as a pc monitor. This and the Vizio M series are my top two, but I think I’m leaning toward this one. One thing I’ve learned in looking for this tv is that online research before you purchase a new tv is a tad overwhelming (coming from someone that researches every purchase I make 😂). Hopefully this will be the last time for a while. Thx again!

picked up 65" brand new at Target on clearance for $282 out the door, no complaints for the garage

Just got a 65 60d. I honestly love it. Beautiful bright picture

I’ve never been so bored to learn something no one knows or cares about. All I wanted to know if it was a good tv and play games on

[@RangerXXT]

60c? thats 57 more than my c3, going to upgrade asap

[@RTINGSdotcom]

That should mean it's 57x better, right? 😂

[@Marco_My_Words]

Yes, the Hisense has several advantages on paper and in the technical specifications, but the Samsung also has its own benefits. Ultimately, it depends on your preferences. The Samsung TV offers significantly better color accuracy and higher brightness, which is crucial for brighter rooms, such as living rooms. During the day, when you don't want to sit in the dark, the Samsung TV performs very well. Additionally, Samsung excels in user-friendliness and has developed superior algorithms. Their 4K upscaling algorithm is much better than Hisense's. Samsung provides better product support and more reliable updates over time, while Hisense, with less experience, is less certain to offer long-term updates. However, the Hisense performs better in darker rooms due to its local dimming feature, which provides better black tones and contrast, something the Samsung lacks. But, as mentioned, Samsung has better color accuracy, brightness, and superior algorithms. Hisense's technical specifications might be better in some areas, offering more features and newer components. Yet, Samsung excels in user-friendliness, with a more intuitive interface, while Hisense's menu can be confusing. As a newer and less established brand, Hisense's apps might not run as smoothly, and bug fixes could take longer compared to Samsung.

[@k.r.99]

Sadly, the 43 inch comes without local dimming but i'm still very happy with the TV.

[@CarlosHernandez-xw1id]

This guy does not know what he is talking about, I own the 70 inch Q60C and it looks awesome, it has better contrast than the Q70C and Q80C, ok so is cheaper because it is 60 HZ and it does not have 2.1 hdmi, big deal, the movies look awesome, just look at the reviews from best buy, amazon, crutchfield etc. From 4.5 to 4.8 ratings. So are all these reviewers blind?

[@kjavatar]

Their tests are scientific and done identically across all tv models, so the results are the results and opinions don’t play a factor. Anecdotal reviews like “I think it looks better” aren’t what Rtings does.

Which one is best selection in this price range according to you. ?

[@RupamPrinceRathore]

Nice video with adequate details.Please review lg Qned83

[@RTINGSdotcom]

Thanks for watching! 😄

[@aCon97]

Great video, I'm still gonna stick within that price range since my choices are limited where I live and am really stuck between the LG QNED75 65'' and Samsung Q60C 65'', I will place it in my bedroom and mostly I want it to watch movies on streaming platforms and some satellite channels, after researching I've came to the conclusion that the main difference for my use is that the LG has better sound and the Samsung has better picture, and am not planning to buy a soundbar so I would like to know which do you think is the better choice???

[@paulwalker9769]

The samsung

Is there any TV that doesn't have ads? Besides a monitor

[@DrakonR]

It's the feature of "smart" devices.

[@J-Vill]

I feel the pain I had an LG C7 barely a little AD on the side got a new C2 the whole "homescreen" is a damn AD!

[@Revolver1981]

Nothing wrong with some ads at the top of the smart hub.

[@rogerhoward7498]

I would like to know…you say when a soundbar is placed in front of the screen ( with the stand in a raised position) the soundbar will not block the viewing screen from the bottom, BUT!…where are you placing the soundbar? Are you placing the soundbar right in front of the stand or on the actual stand itself? So if you are placing the soundbar on the stand, it is the left and right ends of the soundbar that are balancing the weight of the soundbar on the stand?

[@GamingInfested]

my soundbar fits between legs under the screen. its LG with sub. very bad as any other soundbar. Saving money for real speakers it is a no brainer with this tv

[@izvoristine8547]

Please review the new Hisense U8N. It is interesting to see what improvements the TV has made over the previous model U8K. The U8N is said to be the brightest TV on the market and in combination with the very high contrast it comes very close to an OLED TV. The U8N could have the best price-performance ratio and could be a flagship killer 2024 compared to the expensive high-end LG and Samsung TVs.

Me too and its amazing. I dont really know anything about tvs but if someone is thinking of buying,its a 10/10 for games

[@garrettstrutz7421]

This is not the tv u want for gaming it’s only a 60hz and is really bad with hdr. You need a Q80 or higher model if you want a good gaming tv with 120hz and good hdr.

I just threw out my second QLED tv tonight in the last 6 years. First one I paid $4k for and when it failed just outside of warranty I chalked up to a fluke, and I was stupid enough to buy another one. Never again. This latest one the QLED strip on the bottom came loose causing light and dark of illuminated areas and artifacts, and then turned it on tonight and got nothing. Great picture, absolute trash quality.

Q60C HDMI 3port.? All HDMI port bandwidth.?

[@mianlo2624]

For me, I believe that Samsung Q60 series benefit for people wanting 4K, HDR, and 32 inch TV. It is good for casual PC usage.

[@madcrowmaxwell]

This is why I'm interested in it. I need a display that can do double duty as a small TV and a computer monitor that doesn't break the bank and there's not a lot out there. OLEDs are expensive and burn in when used for computer-y things involving static images. IPS computer monitors have garbage contrast. This is basically it.

[@LaskaiTamas23]

​@@madcrowmaxwellbeen using a 42c2 as a monitor for a year now. No burn in and it has the best picture quality. Q60C is the definition of low tier TV. The bare minimum.

Calling that “no blooming” is a bit stupid imho. I don’t think anyone would prefer this look to the minileds.

[@michamaecki8104]

Nope, you're wrong. There are people (including me) that would take high native contrast and no local dimming over worse contrast and (often forced on) bad or mediocre local dimming implementation. Most of things that i watch are with subtitles, and bloom or lack of backlight uniformity around them is annoying AF.

When will Samsung realise that it's pretty pointless going forward without Dolby Vision. The market niche for Samsung 4k tvs isn't good, if you want people to invest then you're going to have to include the 12 bit colour gamut, this TV's review of it's HDR isn't great even, once you own an LG Oled TV, Samsung's are just a cheap attempt at producing a quality HDR output. Samsung' do phones well, LG' do tvs well and that about sums it up, hell my Phillips Hue 48' 4k TV with Dolby Vision is better than any of these new tvs that Samsung are putting out. It's time to call it a day Samsung, if people are going to invest into 4k I would never suggest a Samsung set up!

[@Revolver1981]

Have you taken a look at the Samsung QD OLED TV's? They're better than the best LG TV's.

[@hpsportzintell8080]

The TV is great. Idont know what you talking about. The TV is amazing I know people with this TV. All the TVs are too much money. You got crazy to buy a 3,000 to 6,000 dollar TV. When you compare to a 6,000 dollar TV you coming out on the top end for buying this TV. The 3,000 to 6,000 is better only if you edit content. Other than that you would be throwing money away because they come out with something new every year. Of you want a great reliable TV with great picture buy it. Don't listen to this guy he just making content. Even the Crystal 7000B is a great TV from samsung. It's best to wait into 3 to 4 years then buy the new TV now for a great reduced price. I'm running Crystal 7000B and all my friends upset they paid 3,000 extra for they TVs when my TV match's up close to they TV and they realized they got bamboozled 😂😂😂
