    Absolutely laughable for this price. The 2018 NU8000 had 800+ nits and decent colors at the same price. It's all downhill ever since.

      Yeah, Samsung, really all big TV manufacturers, but especially Samsung, since the ks8000, has went downhill. After the ks8000, the q7 was released the next year, still a good TV, but worse than the 2016 ks8000. Than the next q7f after the first q7, got a bit better, but was now just about as good as the 2 year old ks8000 again. So they took a step back, to than go back to the same step they were previously, and they repeat the cycle. Make a TV, downgrade the same line up the next year, and than the next year after, slightly vamp it back up to the TV quality 2 years ago. It's so weird. Sorry if random and long or confusing

    Edit; rtings of course mentioned the same thing lol.
    $900 (currently 10% off on Amazon) for a 60hz tv with poor viewing angles and bad image processing seems like a hard sell with Hisense and tcl around (who also have similar issues but with better features like 120/144hz and mini led.) paper specs aren’t everything, just ask Sony but… this seems like a hard sell unless one insists on samsung

    It's nearly $1000 and this is "entry level" and "lowest end". Absurd. I bought a 57 inch Samsung TV a couple years ago for $380, THAT's what I consider "low end" and "entry level".

      You're paying for the QLED branding basically. Kind of like how people will pay 200 dollars for a Nike shoe, because of the name branding when you could have spent 70 on a Nike shoe and not notice any actual diff between the two.

    People keep saying "Get a TV from TCL or HiSense, it's the better buy", but none of those companies MAKE small TVs with any support for 4K inputs or HDR10. Lots of other 32 inch TVs use 720p panels and most of the rest use 1080p panels. That wouldn't be a huge deal if they could at least support 4K inputs and could handle tonemapping of HDR input in a semi-intellegent way, but they cant.

      For the past several years my suggestion has been that if you want a decent 32" display, buy a monitor instead of a TV, since manufacturers have given up on making good small TVs.

    • @chazzx7897
      @chazzx7897 3 місяці тому +2

      That's because 4k on a 32 inch TV doesn't make that much sense. The TV is to small to see any noticeable differences from a typical tv viewing distance. So unless you are going to sit a foot or two away from your TV at all times then it makes no sense to pay a premium for something you won't see. Which is also the reason why every other tv manufacturer doesn't make a 4k 32 inch TV for that same reason.

      ​@chazzx7897 idk 10 year younger me agrees with this, but nowadays I can always tell 1080p vs. 1440p vs. 2k/4k easily, i think others would agree. For me with this tv, is it handles the range fairly well, it's not like an 65 lg g4, which I have, but it might be the best 32 you can buy that's not a monitor. If you are ok with a monitor and have cash, buy the Asus PG32UCDM. It's magical and yes it's worth it

      The firmware update 1402.x that came out a couple months back updated the interface and improved the picture quality on the Q60C models. Along with fixing a few bugs. But for some odd reason you have to update it via USB through Samsung's website, seeing as Samsung took it off the software update on the TV. If you hit update on the TV settings the tv still only sees 1310.x as the latest update.

    Buy cheap buy twice applies to TV's as much as most tech based products.
    These entry level models are made down to a price by using the cheapest screens
    and components available.
    I know as they keep me in a job repairing them, use them at full brightness and the baclights will
    failed followed by the underated components used to drive them.
    Hisense models use underated connectors and cables that can't handle the current, so they burn out.
    Take Abby's advice and save up for a more expensive one or you will soon be buying another.

    I specifically selected this one (43") BECAUSE it has great viewing angles. It looks terrific to me from angles, unlike a TCL I recently purchased and returned because it had terrible angles viewing. I actually preferred the remote on the TCl, one of the nicest I've ever used. The Samsung remote is too small for me and its minimal design is confusing figuring out how functions. Your review is heavy on tech tests, not how it actually looks to someone viewing it. I'm very pleased with this selection (minus the remote!)

      Completely agree. I have been visiting different shops for the last few days. I have seen this tv (43 inch) in the same shop twice now. I was planning to go with the samsung du8300 or lg ut8040 but now i have changed my mind. The colors and brightness (in a brightly lit showroom) are too good. People talk about motion blur. Watched cricket and football highlights. Couldn't find any such thing. Also i watched from an angle and there was no degradation in picture quality.

    Ok lets address the elphant in the room. the Q60 series hardware hasn't been updated in 3 years. The Q60D is still using the same exact hardware that the Q60A used back in 2021. So samsung is charging a premium for an entry level QLED that uses 3 year old hardware. It doesn't make sense. Im actually wondering if samsung will still use the same hardware on the Q60E models when they come out next year, or will samsung finally update it. The problem i see with samsung is they nickle and dime you for features that should be standard for the prices that they charge for an entry level QLED.

I had like 10 different 10 models from different brands and you can see the quality not only in the image but the components. This HiSense ,TCL and so forth, do have neither the high ends neither the depth and colour enhancement that you could expect from this kind of tvs. AND YES, the price difference is meant for a reason.

    Samsung TVs used to be the crème de la crème. But they started getting more competition from other manufacturers and now they try to pump out a tv every 6 months, saying its an upgraded model. But they are actually getting worse and more higher priced. They are still using 60hz panels. Hell, 8K is out already. But they are going to milk the 60hz sector as long as they can. Props to Rtings for their reviews and honest opinions on these TVs. I don't buy any new TV without checking out Rtings reviews first. I'll pass on this one though. I have the Q60C and this one is "not" an upgrade. 💯

      Most LG tvs have the best Imput Lag response times. Best Reliability, Best functionality, Best Motion.
      So IMO Qned85 Qned90. C3 C4 G3 G4 I feel are the best Gaming tvs.
      The Hisense and TCL have decent response times how ever their gaming motion is trash so is the processing and they constantly have compatibility issues using VRR and screen uniformity is questionable especially after the first 6 months.
      Samsung and Sony are good gaming tvs as well however, Sony Imput Lag times are at the top end of the acceptable range. But has other qualities that make them stand out with the PS5 plus excellent processing. But again LG I feel is still the top Gaming tvs.
      Samsung is has nothing IMO as an affordable gaming tv worth buying.
