The Samsung Q60A QLED is already on sale, along with the rest of the new Samsung TV range. There's no HDMI 2.1 support either across the three HDMI ports, and 4K resolution will top out at 60fps on the set's 60Hz panel. This is also an edge-lit set, which helps to keep it slim but will mean the brightness isn't consistent across the screen, and could negatively impact HDR performance.


8K resolution is off the table, as are the wide viewing angles of more premium sets. What's worth noting, though, is what you don't get with the Q60A. There's also a new solar-powered remote that comes with all 2021 Samsung TVs, and will mean you're not cycling through batteries every few months. The Tizen platform works with Alexa and Google Assistant too, though the built-in Bixby is present if you ever feel sorry for the maligned (and unspectacular) voice assistant.

You even get Filmmaker Mode, which turns off most of your picture processing – ostensibly to cleave closer to 'what the creator intended' – but for a screen at this price point we couldn't recommend leaving the picture to fend for itself.Īs a Samsung smart TV, you'll get the Tizen operating system, which is one of the best out there, with a well-organized home screen and broad app support, from Netflix and Disney Plus to Hulu (for those in the US) and Freeview Play (for those in the UK). Other features include Multi-View (up to two simultaneous video feeds) and an Ambient Mode for calming screensavers or photography. Samsung OTS (Object Tracking Sound) audio (Image credit: Samsung) If you have an existing soundbar, of course, it may be worth plugging that in – while eARC support means that you'll be able to control external audio through your regular TV remote. You won't get the spread of ten dedicated speakers around the screen (as with OTS+) and, given the price point, we wouldn't expect much more than average built-in speakers. There's no Dolby Atmos audio here, with Samsung opting for a stripped-down version of its Object Tracking Sound technology, here referred to as 'OTS Lite'. It's not a total game-changer by itself, and the 'QLED' moniker usually covers a host of different picture technologies – though at the bottom of the QLED range you're not getting all of them. The QLED panel includes a quantum dot filter to enhance contrast.

The HLG broadcast standard is supported too. You won't get Dolby Vision HDR here, then, though HDR10+ will prove a boon for those who prefer Amazon Prime Video (which supports it) over Netflix (which doesn't). To tick off the most important boxes, the Q60A features 4K resolution and HDR support – alongside the dynamic HDR10+ standard favored by Samsung, which uses additional metadata to make premium movies and TV shows look closer to as intended by their creators. The Samsung Q60A is this year's entry-level 4K QLED, meaning you'll get something of a saving, though alongside some drops in specification compared to more premium models.
