Is the Samsung Q6D good for gaming?

It supports ALLM, which lowers input lag for consoles. The panel is 60Hz, so it won't match 120Hz sets for high-frame-rate play.

Does the Q6D have local dimming?

No. It uses an edge-lit backlight without full-array local dimming, so contrast in dark rooms is weaker than step-up QLED models.

Does it support Dolby Vision?

No. It handles HDR10 and HDR10+, but not Dolby Vision.

The TV, a solar-rechargeable voice remote, a stand and power cable. A wall mount is not included.

Does it have voice assistants?

Yes. Amazon Alexa, Google Assistant and Bixby are built in, and the included remote has a microphone.

How does it compare with the Q80 series?

The Q80 adds full-array local dimming, a 120Hz panel and better anti-glare treatment. The Q6D is the cheaper entry point to QLED color.

Our take on the Samsung Q6D 65" QLED Smart TV (4K)

The Samsung Q6D is a 65-inch 4K QLED TV built on a Quantum Dot LED panel with HDR10 and HDR10+ support. It runs Tizen OS with Amazon Alexa, Google Assistant and Bixby built in, and includes a solar-rechargeable voice remote. Motion Xcelerator smooths fast action, and ALLM lowers latency for console gaming. It sits in Samsung's entry QLED tier: brighter and more colorful than budget LED sets, but without the full-array local dimming, high refresh rate or anti-glare coating of the step-up Q80 series.
