2nd Purchase only Bigger!
By Steven Rand on Reviewed in the United States on September 26, 2021
This TV is amazing, AMAZING! First I purchased the Samsung 65” 4K QLED for my bedroom, several months ago and absolutely love it so, I just bought the Same Samsung 4K QLED but, in 75”, for my LivingRoom. This TV is not only HUGE but, the picture is just so incredible that I would have to say, Mind Blown, Mic Drop. Who thought we’d own TV’s of this size in our homes when, growing up, if you had a 26” Sony, you were the coolest family on the block. I can’t believe how truly affordable these are, yes, I caught both on sale plus, I have 2 Samsung Sound Bars with Subs for each and I’m truly in heaven, again Mind Blowing Picture Size and Unreal 4K Quality in QLED and the Sound with the Soundbar with Sub is just a wonderful, movie theater-ish experience that is a “must have” in today’s world of true Home Theater. Just a side note, since this is turning into. Novel, I plan to upgrade both my Soundbars and Subs to the Klipsch 600 w/surround speakers as soon as I catch a sale (never listen to these speakers at a store as it will make you so unhappy when you listen to what you already have or anything else and honestly, I was so super happy with the sound from my Samsung Soundbar setup). Damn Klipsch for being the Best Sound and the Big Electronics Store for allowing me to hear them, even though I specifically went to that store with the sole intention of hearing the Klipsch system before I would buy them from Amazon. There’s a Huge Difference, I mean Huge Difference from UHD (which I had in the 65” and replaced with a 65” QLED) and QLED, which you see immediately and if you can spend the extra bucks to get QLED, you’ll never regret it, I still can’t believe the difference as I had both a 65” UHD & 65” QLED in my home at the same time and it drove me crazy so, I had to get another QLED ergo this 75” QLED. I bought the 3 year warranty and before you call me a fool/sucker, I will tell you exactly why it’s so very much worth it. What no one tells you (yet you can easily find out if you do a little research) all these Flat Screen TV are considered “Disposable”, to be replaced every 5-7 years as there’s little to near nothing that is fixable or worth the money to fix, that’s a biggie. I actually sold TV’s and other electronics a very long time ago and back then it was mostly a total scam but, not now. I’ve had 2 Flat Screens go out on me in the last 6 years and prices back then were much much higher. My 65” 1080P highest HiDef TV at the time (only $3,000.00 for a 42” LED), well it blew out, died, had a seizure, something or other and it was just out of warranty by only 3 months (of course). I tried everything, called everyone, started off really nice, tried bribing people and eventually went to yelling, cursing hey, Im a New Yorker (that’s a Nu Yawka who lived On Lawn Guyland okay😎lol) and got nowhere, nothing Fougeddabouddit. Finally I was offering to pay a repairman out of pocket but, he told me it just wasn’t worth it. My High Definition LCD Flat Screen went out with the trash (you don’t want to tell the wife that story because you know she was against it, never needed or wanted a big TV in “Her House! we’ll get back to “Her House” later”. I replaced that TV with a 65” 4K UHD TV but, this time I bought the 3 year warranty and wouldn’t you know it, at the very beginning of the second year(isn’t it funny how everything always works great until 12 seconds after the warranty runs out), the screen started to really mess up, there were streaks of light, bright dots and stars, it was just too annoying to watch, especially since our TV’s are now a major part of the home decor. In today’s living room, it’s become the key focal point and the main attraction for which the TV is front and center, then we adjust all the furniture around it. Of course I called the Extended Warranty Company btw & fyi a little heads up so it’ll make sense or not, I’m a New Yorker so, I was already for a fight before anything started, it’s always going to be something and then an argument. I explained the problem bla bla bla and the service rep explained that I was out of the manufacturer’s warranty so, I was correct to contact them but, this was a problem that they were already very familiar with and unfortunately it’s not a fixable problem. Okay, Here we go, my blood pressure is already rising as I’m waiting to find out how I was scammed. First the Service Rep apologized for it not being a repairable problem and immediately asked when the could Schedule the appointment to pick up my broken TV and bring me a Brand New One, a time that would be convenient for me. Wait, did I hear that correctly, what’s the catch? I asked he to repeat what he said and also to let me know how much out of pocket it was going to cost me for a New TV, that I think he just said, they are bringing me to replace my 2 years old broken TV? Long story short, they delivered a Newer Model as mine was discontinued, they apologized again (poor me they upgraded my broken TV for a newer model, I think I’ll live) and it cost me absolutely zip, zero, zilc, nada, NOTHING!!! I couldn’t wait to tell the Wife this story as I am going to exaggerate, embellish and make up a story of how I had to fight them to get this Newer Model and I wasn’t going to pay them a penny (come on, every guy does this, we all want to be the hero in our wives eyes). It didn’t matter because during this whole fiasco, it turned out the wife was defective too and like she said, the TV was my idea so, I got the New Newer TV for free all for myself and she didn’t get it (of course she got the House, Cars, the Dogs, basically everything but, the TV and Almost All Of My Money for the next too many years, that’s a divorce in New York, it’s all about the ladies and I’m okay with that but, this is about a TV & the Extended Warranty and I got both!!!). The Moral of this Looong Story, The Samsung QLED is a wonderful thing to have in your house, just incredible, nothing comes close (there’s the 8K, it’s better but, if you had the big bucks that 8K TV’s go for, why would you still be reading this?) plus, if you add a Soundbar and Sub, now or later, Chances are you are going to love watching movies at home more than going out, driving to the theater, looking for parking, waiting online to pay ridiculous ticket prices just before you get robbed at the snack bar and don’t forget the super large cup of ice with a splash of soda and your $6.00 stale candy bar , garbage pail of the saltiest popcorn that’s guaranteed to get you the new high score on the free CVS Blood Pressure Machine, don’t forget your “Fake Butter Flavoring”, now you’re already to sit with a bunch noisy nosey of strangers, trying to calculate how the bill for the overpriced snacks were more than the overpriced tickets yet, still unable to stop thinking about why your feet are stuck to those gross floors. Hey, some people just love that theater experience, I think a nice bright 4K QLED in my own hone with a nice sound system, my couch, my new future ex at my side, our own fresh junk food, no strangers annoying us and the best part, Pause for a quick bathroom break plus, Rewind anything you didn’t hear or want to see it again. I will pick Home Theater with my 75” Samsung QLED every time (okay some movies should be seen in a theater but, that’s for you to decide, I’m staying home!) Five Stars ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ 2 Thumbs up 👍 👍 and a whole bunch of Smileys 😃😃😃😃😃😃😃😃

An Honest Review
By Derek Meyers on Reviewed in the United States on August 8, 2021
Where to begin? After spending several weeks researching options to upgrade our old 42" Vizio (model E422VLE) I decided on the Q60A 55" and was very excited to surprise my wife with the upgrade. To keep things neat and tidy, let's break it down. Delivery: Amazon did a great job here. I scheduled it for the earliest available slot (6:30 AM to 9:30 AM) it arrived right around 6:45 AM. Box was in perfect condition, and the delivery driver helped carry the unit into the house. Unboxing: Samsung really thought this through as well. After cutting the straps, you can open the top of the box for the accessories, and then simply slide off the main/upper portion of the box to get to the television. Instructions were clear and easy to read, and the feet easy to install and adjust without tools. Design: The overall design of this TV is fantastic. I honestly like it more than many higher end options. The top and side bezels are not only nice and thin, but also a nice matte finish. So you don't have to worry about any strange glare or reflections along the borders (my biggest gripe with the Vizio, which had monstrous, glossy bezels). The offset logo is also a nice touch in reducing potential distractions, and it has a downward firing red light when powered off, which shouldn't cause any sleeping issues if this unit is in a bedroom. Oh, and thin! This TV is beautifully thin. As a side note: ATTENTIONAL ALL INDUSTRIAL DESIGNERS! Please, PLEASE stop using gloss black on the front-facing surround of screens. It makes no sense and is needlessly distracting. Yes, I know it's supposed to look and feel "premium", but it just attracts glare, dust, and toddler fingerprints. Have some fun with matte finishes, different tones of gray, frosted glass or other materials, whatever. But no more gloss on the front, OK? Setup: I didn't have a Samsung account yet, so I went ahead and got that going. The authentication text messages seemed to have quite a bit of lag, but once the account was authorized it was pretty simple to to get the TV setup with my cell phone and the SmartThings app. Interface: In general, I liked the interface. It was simple, easy to navigate, and nice and snappy. No lag whatsoever. I did notice some ads for service like HBO Max but this doesn't really bother me since the vast majority of our TV use is through a 4K Apple TV. Picture: Wow. Just... WOW! Coming from the 1080p Vizio (which was honestly a fine TV for being 10 years old, just not 4K) I'm sure most 4K TV's would have been impressive. Even so, I feel like I can honestly say the straight-out-of-the-box picture was gorgeous. I didn't fiddle with any picture settings. The colors popped without being overly saturated, and the blacks felt plenty dark. All in all it just looked great. I did notice there was some small, lightly darker spots in both lower corners, and when looking again at the display units at Best Buy noticed it was on their unit as well. It's not terrible, and on any movies with even minimal letterboxing (like Luca) you won't even notice it. But on bright backgrounds without a lot of detail it may distract a bit. Sound: Sadly, the sound is where things really started falling apart. I'd read some reviews that the sound was like "a cell phone in the 90's" and thought to myself there's no way that could be true. And while it isn't quite that bad, in "Normal" mode (the default setting) it certainly sounded severely week and hollow. To the point I couldn't imagine trying to ever listen to anything in that mode. The middle option, "Adaptive" was sufficient, though the bass still felt lacking. The new iMac - which is significantly smaller and thinner - has significantly more bass and much, much better audio quality than the Q60A, which is disappointing. But it gets worse... When using a 4K Apple TV the audio randomly, and frequently cuts out. Sometimes when the next show in a series started to stream, sometimes in the middle of a movie. Stranger still was that the sound in general still worked - if you pushed the back button to browse again you'd hear the navigation effects and chimes without problem - but go back into the movie/show and there wasn't any audio. I tried adjusting audio settings, switching to AirPlay speakers (which would work fine) then back to the TV (still no sound), resetting the TV, and searched the Samsung support forums for answers. Unfortunately it seems like this is a potential issue with this model, and possibly Samsung TV's in general. What's more, once while in the middle of a movie, the sound muted by itself (the remote was on the stand) for no reason at all. The mute icon just popped up on the screen and stayed that way until I adjusted the volume with the remote. Not an encouraging sign. I didn't expect spectacular sound, but the combination of what I would call "just barely adequate sound" at this price point, combined with the frustration of sound dropping randomly means I'll be sending this unit back. If I decide to try a replacement of the same model I'll be sure to update my review, but for now I can't see giving any more than 2 stars. Summary: Amazingly colorful, crisp picture with some very subtle clouding in the lower corners, beautiful and thoughtful industrial design, and a clean, snappy interface. But disappointingly poor sound and unacceptable sound dropping issues. I would highly advise looking & listening to this model in a store first if at all possible.
