Our take on the Samsung Q60A QN43Q60A 43 QLED 4K HDR Smart TV (2021)
The Samsung Q60A is a 43-inch 4K QLED smart TV from Samsung's 2021 lineup. It uses a quantum-dot backlit LCD panel with HDR support, the Tizen smart platform with Netflix, Samsung TV Plus and the major streaming apps, and a solar-rechargeable remote. It suits a bedroom, small living room or secondary set where a bright, colorful picture and built-in apps matter more than deep blacks. Against rivals like the TCL 5-Series and Hisense U6G, it gives up full-array local dimming and wide viewing angles, so contrast and off-angle color are weaker, but it is simpler to set up and the Tizen interface is easier to live with.
- Bright QLED panel handles daylight well
- Tizen smart platform is fast and well organized
- Solar-rechargeable remote with voice control
- Low input lag for casual gaming
- Slim design and easy wall mounting
What reviewers say
Owners and reviewers generally like the Q60A as a bright, easy-to-use bedroom or secondary TV. Most criticism centers on contrast and black levels, which are weaker than dimming-equipped rivals, and on off-angle viewing.

Questions and answers
- Is the Q60A good for gaming?
- It has low input lag and a Game Mode, which suits casual console play. It is limited to 60Hz with no HDMI 2.1, so it does not make full use of PS5 or Xbox Series X at high frame rates.
- Does it have local dimming?
- No. The Q60A is edge-lit without local dimming, so black levels and contrast are weaker than sets with full-array dimming.
- What is in the box?
- The TV, a solar-rechargeable remote, a stand and power cable. A wall mount and HDMI cables are not included.
- How does it compare with the TCL 5-Series?
- The TCL 5-Series adds full-array local dimming and usually deeper blacks. The Q60A counters with a simpler Tizen interface and stronger brand support.
- Is 43 inches big enough for a living room?
- It suits a bedroom, office or small living room with seating close to the screen. For a main living room with distant seating, a larger size is usually better.
- Does it support HDR formats?
- It supports HDR10, HDR10+ and HLG. It does not support Dolby Vision.
