Is the Samsung UN60DU6900 good for gaming?

It supports VRR and 4K at up to 60Hz, which is fine for casual console play. Serious gamers will miss 120Hz and the extra HDMI inputs.

Does it have local dimming?

No. It is an edge-lit LED TV without local dimming, so black levels are average and dark scenes can look grey.

How many HDMI ports does it have?

Two HDMI ports, plus one USB-A, Ethernet, Wi-Fi and Bluetooth. Plan for a soundbar or console to share them.

Does it support Dolby Atmos?

It decodes Dolby Atmos, but the built-in 20W stereo speakers cannot produce height effects. A compatible soundbar is needed for real Atmos.

Can I mount it on a wall?

Yes. It is VESA-mountable and weighs about 32.8 lb without the legs.

Is it worth it over a cheaper 55-inch?

If you want the largest Samsung screen at a low price, the 60-inch size is the draw. If picture quality matters more, a set with local dimming or a 120Hz panel is a better spend.

Our take on the Samsung UN60DU6900

The Samsung UN60DU6900 is a 60-inch 4K LED TV from Samsung's entry-level DU6900 line. It runs Tizen with SmartThings, Bixby, Alexa and Google Assistant support, and handles HDR10+, HLG and Dolby Atmos audio through 20W stereo speakers. It is a 60Hz-class edge-lit panel with no local dimming, so contrast and black levels are basic. It suits buyers who want a big Samsung screen at a low price rather than a premium picture.
