SAMSUNG QN65Q60RAFXZA Flat 65" QLED 4K Q60 Series (2019) Ultra HD Smart TV with HDR and Alexa Compatibility

6 years late and still works great!

I love this TV. It's a great combination of performance and features at a good price point. I'll skip the technical specs that are easily found in the listing and focus on my personal impressions of the TV features and setup.I mounted this TV on the wall using the Cheetah APTMM2B mount found on Amazon. It worked perfectly and keeps the TV very close to the wall. The 75" TV is pretty heavy and requires two people to lift and hookup the cabling in one pass. Once on the wall, good luck trying to plug in an HDMI. I used DataComm Electronics 50-3323-WH-KIT for hiding the wiring in the wall: power, 3x HDMI cables and a LAN cable. All in all, a great, clean installation for a worthy TV as shown in the attached picture.While the TV is an entry level product in the QLED line, I feel it displays a beautiful picture, especially compared to the old LCD it replaced. I used calibration settings for this model from rtings.com and it looks great. I tested 4k content with The Mandalorian after an easy installation of the Disney+ app from the menus. Personally, I was wowed by the picture. I feel the colors and are great and the brightness is more than acceptable, but I have not compared to the higher end Samsung QLEDs side by side.I thought that I would absolutely hate the minimalist remote control and go back to a Logitech Harmony. I was completely wrong about it. After installing everything and spending a little time with it, I fell in love with this little remote. The remote combined with the well thought out menus is a great pairing. Samsung really nailed this as far as I'm concerned. Others may or may not feel the same way, but I love it. It all makes so much sense once you put it in use. It does a great job of combining all of your devices within the software, under one remote, without all the added buttons.Ambient mode is fun to play with. It's basically just a screensaver to display when not using the TV for viewing content. I stream music on it while it sits on a background that is 3 dimensional. It has some nice designs and is highly customizable to match your room decor and colors. It lets you take a picture of the wall the TV is on in the Smart Things app to match everything.Lastly, setup/configuration can be done with the remote and/or the Smart Things app. I used a combination of the two. The quick setup guide isn't much use in my opinion, but setup was pretty self explanatory regardless. It's a lot like step by step walk-through a new smartphone goes through. The TV manual is mostly found in apps on the TV. I ran in to issues with the cable box device install at first. It detected fine, but after setup completed the remote didn't control the cable box at all. A quick Google search found that sometimes you need to uninstall the device and reinstall it (after setup has completed) in order to get it working and controlling as expected. Once I did that, everything was great.I'm very happy with the TV so far. I'd recommend it to anyone.

First, the TV arrived damaged, but I couldn't be more pleased with the way Amazon handled the issue. I used the online chat tool and the support was superb. I had my replacement in 2 days’ time and the Amazon rep. emailed me the return code immediately for my return. If I have any complaints (which isn’t a reflection on Samsung or Amazon), it's that the UPS driver most certainly had to have seen the damage to the box but simply dropped it at my door and left. I'm of the opinion too that the shipper should be responsible for picking up the damaged unit and returning it. Who's to say that UPS was the only handler though? I have no idea. I do have my doubts the TV left Amazons' facility in that condition though. Regardless, Amazon knocked it out of the park with how they handled this for me, and I rarely have any complaints about UPS either, I prefer them over the others.The TV itself is an entry level QLED so I'm not sure whether that makes a difference or not. I'm always satisfied and impressed by Samsung's quality and so is the case with this TV, although I'm not sure I see much of a difference between this unit and an LED. To be fair though, I'm a cable cutter, so I only stream my content via Netflix, YouTube TV and Amazon Prime, so I'm not sure I've seen enough of the higher quality media to judge this QLED fairly. Netflix has some 4K HDR videos available, so I’ll give those a try and report back later perhaps. This TV was marked down by $500 when I purchased it and I’ve been wanting to try the QLED, so why not at this price? I’m most certainly not going to pay the delta in cost for the OLED in the other brands, I’m just not that much of a videophobe.Some complain about the remote and the fact it’s so minimal, but my wife and I have grown to prefer that over an enormous remote that barely fits into one hand. This remote performs any task you want, so I’m not sure those who are complaining are familiar enough with the remote. We love this Samsung remote.I love the Samsung TV’s and their simplicity; I prefer Samsung’s user interface. This TV also defaults back to whatever app you were watching when you turned the unit off, I prefer that over having it default to the channel tuner, considering I don’t have any channels. We had an LG that defaulted to the annoying snow and static of the channel tuner every time we turned on the unit. You couldn’t click on another app quickly enough to avoid being so damned annoyed by that noise, and LG provided no means of changing the default input to something else, so we were stuck with that.I also purchased the Samsung HW-MS650/ZA sound bar with this TV. This sound bar doesn’t have the sub-woofer, which we have no decent place for, so that’s what drove my decision on this sound bar. I’m very pleased with how well the soundbar and the TV synced together, which has been an issue on previous TV’s and soundbars for us in the past. If you’re entertaining a soundbar, go one step up and purchase one that won’t require you turn it on and off separately from the TV. That’s extremely annoying.

The media could not be loaded. We’ve had this Samsung QLED TV for almost five years, and it still works perfectly. The picture quality is stunning with vibrant colors and deep contrast, making everything look sharp and immersive. The sound is clear and rich, even without extra speakers. It was definitely a great value for the price, delivering a premium experience without breaking the bank. Even our cats love watching it, haha! A solid investment for anyone looking for a reliable TV.
