The Samsung Q60D QLED is the lowest-end model in Samsung's QLED lineup. It replaces the Samsung Q60C QLED and sits below the Samsung Q70D QLED. Like its predecessor, it's a 60Hz TV and doesn't have modern features like HDMI 2.1 bandwidth, VRR support, or local dimming.

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

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

@AverageJoeGlobeR Ай бұрын

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

I recently purchased last year's 43Q60C model, and I am very impressed with it. Despite not getting great reviews such as it's successor the Q60D, it is still a very fine option. I got mine for a bargain on sale. :)

@chazzx7897 13 күн бұрын

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.

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.

@marksalamon619 Ай бұрын

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 13 күн бұрын

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.

@Thx4everything_117 Ай бұрын

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. 💯

As someone whose been selling TVs for years the Q60 Line from samsung is my LEAST favorite tv in it's price range. The only people who buy it are the people who want the brand name samsung on their tv more than a good picture. Most average consumers issue with going the vastly superior TCL/Hisense route is they don't trust the Longevity of brands they arent familiar with over samsung, but trust me these q60s have just as much if not more longevity issues.

@bivitabrata3188 Ай бұрын

As far as you know, do TCL and Hisense mostly have longevity issues? It's always one of my biggest concern regarding both brands, since most reviews only covers initial use, or few early months.

@flim-flammington Ай бұрын

@@bivitabrata3188 I hear more good things about TCL then hisense, but you could be that person who has a hisense last you 10+ years and a Tcl 10 months. Most LOW end hisense tend to have issues, i hear less issues on the high end. Notable high end Hisense do have a 2 year warranty and TCL only have a 1 year. If i had to pick one it'd probably be a tcl. It is a bit of splitting hairs though.

@yordan826 27 күн бұрын

I bought a Hisense U8G back in 2022 55” for $600, that’s a great price for size/features and mind you that’s Hisense’s flagship model, it lasted 3 years I moved it from one stand to the other and the screen cracked from the inside, the outer glass was intact and it didn’t got hit with anything or nothing was a simple lift, move it down stairs and set down, I have a 75” entry level Samsung model MU8000 from 2020 or 2019 don’t remember and I have moved that tv many times and still kicking, so yeah if you want a tv that last go for Samsung even if it has worse picture quality or features.

@@yordan826 That is objectively one of the worst TV reviews i've ever heard. Longevity doesn't mean it can be moved around everywhere. Especially when you PHYSICALLY broke your hisense.

@Barbarapape Ай бұрын

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.

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.

Curious - why is the image on your image of the HDR castle landscape more detailed for the Q60D than the S90D? Actually all the HDR images of the S90D are fuzzy compared to the Q60D, S95C, S95D on your website?

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.

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.
