Samsung 2020 50" Q60T QLED 4K Quantum HDR Smart TV with Tizen OS Black

Product Information

Consider the brand. We’ll go into more detail in a moment about brand and whether Samsung is your best option for Televisions. But the point here is just to make sure you’re factoring in brand when considering the quality of a product. Some brands will be better known for quality than others, and no doubt some of the much higher quality brands will attract a higher price for their products. One more apparent downgrade of note is the Q60T’s picture processor. Last year, Samsung equipped its 6-series TVs with a Quantum Processor 4K. This year, the Q60T uses a Quantum Processor Lite. To get a Quantum Processor 4K in a Samsung 2020 TV, you’ll have to go for a Q70T or above. To top it off, Samsung has stripped out one HDMI input since last year, leaving the Q60T with only three HDMI 2.0 ports. At least the Q60T supports eARC (enhanced Audio Return Channel), which allows you to pass high-quality audio formats such as Dolby Atmos and DTS:X to a soundbar or surround sound system. HDMI 2.1 is a cable standard that enables 4K/120Hz and 8K/60Hz video passthrough, but given that the Q60T is a 4K TV with a 60Hz panel, neither of those capabilities applies here. You are getting eARC support, though.

Watching Netflix’s High Score gaming documentary (in 4K/HDR) shows the Q60T at its best, thanks to the doc’s mix of static interviews (i.e. not much motion) and bright animations. However, the fact that the Q60T only comes into its own with such a specific range of content only serves to highlight its shortcomings elsewhere. Simple and intuitive control of everything from one universal remote control. You no longer need multiple remotes lined up on your coffee table.

Ang Lee’s Life of Pi (4K Blu-ray) proved a great choice for the Q60T, with the set’s panel able to vividly show the bright blues of the Piscine Molitor swimming pool, and the comparative lightness of the film’s earlier scenes. The skin tone issue is apparent here, though, with Irrfan Khan’s face seeming to match the color of the wooden cabinets in his kitchen.

We like that the Samsung Q60T QLED TV is incredibly easy to set-up with feet inserts that don’t require screws, and most models in the range are relatively light, so it won’t be a burden to lift. Although the Q60T’s audio leaves a lot to be desired, its eARC support means you can get lossless audio out of any external audio kit, so you'll need a soundbar or a home audio setup. HDR colors are subdued, likely due to the mid-range processor and edge-lighting. Greys and browns tend to merge with similar tones, without much nuance, which is a shame in colorful films such as Life of Pi. If you have your heart set on a particular brand or even a selection of brands then we’d suggest you spend a bit of time writing up a list of the brands that you would happily buy. This can really help you in narrowing down the selection when it comes to choosing a product. For example, over at Currys PC World you can filter products by brand, so you could filter just to show the brands on your list. This is especially useful knowing that there are 251 Televisions to choose from at Currys PC World.

Gamers will also be attracted to the Q60R with its excellent range of gaming technologies and settings including Game Enhancer, a gamma manipulation tool to help find enemies in the shadows and you can add in Auto Motion Plus with games, but this will impact on the input lag times (rising from 14ms to 24ms).
