Our take on the Samsung 65” Class The Serif

The Serif is Samsung's design-led 4K QLED TV, built with a flat panel and a shelf-like top frame so it reads as furniture rather than a black rectangle. The 65-inch version uses a QLED panel with HDR10+, a 4K resolution and a 40W speaker system, and it runs Tizen with Bixby, Alexa and SmartThings. Its rivals are cheaper picture-first QLEDs: you pay for the look, the I-shaped profile and the matte-style finish rather than for backlight tricks. It suits living rooms where the TV sits in the open, and buyers who want a bright, colorful picture without a soundbar for everyday viewing.

What reviewers say

Owners tend to buy The Serif for how it looks and are generally happy with the bright QLED picture and the built-in sound. Reviewers note that the design premium buys less picture performance than a comparable QLED, and that black levels and contrast trail full-array rivals.

What people mention

DesignPraisedOwners say the I-shaped frame and shelf top make it look like furniture and fit rooms where a normal TV would not.
Picture qualityMixedReviewers find colors bright and vivid but black levels and contrast short of full-array QLED rivals.
SoundPraisedThe 40W speakers are described as fuller and louder than most slim TVs, good enough without a soundbar.

Questions and answers

Is The Serif worth it over a regular Samsung QLED?: If the look matters and the TV sits in the open, yes. If you mainly watch dark movies, a full-array QLED at the same size gives better contrast for the same outlay.
Does The Serif support Dolby Vision?: No. It supports HDR10+ and standard HDR10, so Dolby Vision content plays in HDR10 instead.
Do I need a soundbar with The Serif?: Not for everyday viewing. The 40W built-in speakers are stronger than most slim TVs, though a soundbar still helps for big action films.
Can I wall-mount The Serif?: Yes, with a VESA-compatible mount, but the design is meant to stand on its legs or sit on a cabinet. Wall-mounting hides the shelf and the I-shaped profile.
What is in the box?: The TV, its stand legs, the remote, a power cable and the standard documentation. HDMI and other cables are not included.
Is it good for gaming?: It has ALLM and low input lag for a 60Hz panel, which suits casual console play. Serious gamers wanting 120Hz should look at Samsung's gaming-focused models.
Is the Samsung 65” Class The Serif at its lowest price?: The lowest price we've seen is $1,438.99 at Quill on November 9.
