Earlier this year, Samsung unveiled its first 4K smart LCD TV. The Samsung Q60T just elongates the list of high-end smart TVs launched by this giant manufacturer. Aside from the Q60T, Samsung is planning to launch other 4K models such as Q95T, Q80T, and Q70T. However, I found that these models are quite similar to their predecessors, the R series.
The Q60T is predicted to be a new favorite. It boasts an ultra-slim design with an inviting look to make a new statement in any given room. Samsung’s big name and excellent features such as Ultra HD display and voice services are going to be reasons why users want to have one of these TVs in their dwellings. But it’s too early to make a decision, isn’t it? Take a closer look and scroll through the following review.
Samsung Q60T Body and Design
Samsung really knows how to create adorable designs for their products. When I saw the Q60T for the first time, the first thing that came to my mind was ‘gorgeous’. This QLED TV delivers ultra-slim design with an edge-to-edge screen to pamper your eyesight. It does not take much space on your wall or the table.
The Q60T is also lightweight, allowing you to easily move the TV anywhere you want. You can easily mount it on the wall with compatible wall mounting. Or if you want to place it on the table, dual stands with boomerang shape can give additional visual interest. The stands look stylish and more importantly, they are sturdy and easy to set up.
Samsung’s Q60T is built from black plastic that promotes a more stylish look. At the same time, it looks elegant with a subtle brushed finish that gives additional textures to the back surface. Unlike the predecessor that features metal-trimmed design, this Q60T looks more basic but in a positive way.
Samsung offers various choices when it comes to size. The Q60T is available in 43-inch, 50-inch, 55-inch, 58-inch, 65-inch, and 75-inch. Considering this Ultra HD TV is launched in high-end, I think it makes sense why Samsung chooses to start from 43 inch.
Samsung Q60T Specs and Features
The Q60T is among the first released 4K QLED TVs for 2020. Samsung has armed this new product with a handful of features to bring your experience to the next level. It is also equipped with highlighted specifications to make the users awe-struck.
1. Screen
Samsung’s Q60T is the first TV that offers Dual LED, which is a system that combines dedicated cool and warm LED backlights. This technology enhances contrast detail and colors for much more excellent picture quality. The first 4K TV also features 100% color volume with Quantum Dot.
Quantum dot helps produce more than a billion color shades. This innovative technology delivers crisp and vivid colors, just like what you see in real life. Even when the scenes are bright, quantum dots make the color stay true.
In addition to dual-LED and quantum dots, the Q60T also features quantum HDR. It helps expand the color range as well as detail, allowing you to enjoy details beyond other HD TVs.
The Q60T is powered by Quantum processor 4K Lite, an ultra-fast processor to optimize the content for the QLED screen. This feature also becomes the key secret to stunning 4K display for any moments, such as sports, movies, or games.
2. Audio
Despite Samsung’s Q60T is a high-end smart TV, it comes as the lowest grade among other QLED products such as Q80T and Q95T. Being in the lowest position means you cannot expect too much, especially for audio. It features 2.1-channel audio that consumes 40 watts, allowing you to set to high volume. And yet, you may not experience rich sound.
3. Connectivity and ports
The standard wireless connectivity for the Q60T is Wi-Fi and Bluetooth 4.2. There’s nothing too much to explain from this, considering most smart TVs nowadays are equipped with such connectivity. Both Wi-Fi and Bluetooth let you build a connection with smartphones or tablets to enjoy the TV at its best. In addition, the Q60T also features HDMI ports as well as USB ports.
4. Technology
I am not so surprised to find Amazon’s Alexa in this device since most smart TVs nowadays boast this voice service. But the thing that makes the Q60T different is the fact that it comes with Alexa-built in. It means you don’t need to purchase additional devices to enjoy voice services, unlike most low-end modern TVs.
Alexa built-in lets you enjoy the TV at its best. Simply ask Alexa to search for movies, change the channel, play music, get updates, control other devices, and many more. It makes the Q60T more than a TV, it is your personal entertainer.
In addition to Alexa, the Q60T is powered by Tizen. This app brings the Q60T far beyond ordinary smart TV as it offers super easy control. It also provides you with an enhancement to bring your TV watching experience to the next level.
Samsung Q60T Pros and Cons
The Samsung Q60T is a full-featured QLED TV that has an attractive look and impressive specifications. However, it’s far from being a flawless device as its audio quality can be improved. If you are planning to purchase a new TV and the Q60T is the strongest candidate, you should take a look at the following pros and cons.
Samsung Q60T Pros
- Real-life picture quality
Being the first 4K TV, the Q60T offers crisp and vivid color to indulge your vision. It boasts advanced screen technology such as quantum dots and quantum HDR for improved picture quality. The presence of dual LED gives amazing contrast detail to the display. Not to mention it also features a quantum processor to deliver stunning 4K.
- Super slim design
Sleek design becomes another plus point to take into your consideration. The Q60T boasts a super slim body that makes a new statement in any given room. Either wall-mounted or standing, this QLED TV does not take much of your space.
- Alexa built-in
Well, this is actually not a real strength of the Q60T since most smart TVs have Alexa or Google Assistant. But with a consideration that it comes with Alexa built-in, I think it can be another good thing to take into account.
Samsung Q60T Cons
- Ordinary audio quality
Unfortunately, Samsung decided not to give the Q60T new audio features. The Q Symphony which enables the TV speakers to be combined with soundbar is not available in Q60. This new audio feature will be available in Q80T and higher.
- Only large screen available
If you are looking for a QLED TV with a moderate size, the Q60T is surely not for you. This device is available in large sizes starting from 43-inch up to 75-inch. This may be a problem if you want to put it on the table, but it does not give significant disturbance when mounted on the wall.
Bottom Line
The Samsung Q60T is a great QLED TV with a handful of features. The combination of sleek design and sophisticated technology makes it a recommended top-rated smart TV for your family. It boasts impressive picture quality and other features to upgrade your TV watching experience.
If you are looking for a full-featured TV with a large screen, Samsung’s Q60T is a good choice to take into account. But if you expect a smart TV with excellent audio quality, the Q60T may not satisfy your expectations.
