Our take on the TELEVISEUR SAMSUNG 85 QLED 85Q60DAU

The Samsung Q60D is an 85-inch 4K QLED television, the entry tier of Samsung's QLED line. It uses a Quantum Dot LCD panel with a 60Hz refresh rate, Dual LED backlighting and the Tizen smart platform. It suits large living rooms and bright rooms where screen size matters more than gaming speed. Against rivals, it beats budget LCDs on color and brightness but lacks the local dimming, 120Hz panel and HDMI 2.1 features of Samsung's Q80D and Neo QLED sets.

What reviewers say

Owners of the Q60D series generally like the bright, colorful picture and the easy Tizen interface for the size. Criticism centers on weak black levels in dark rooms, the 60Hz panel for gaming and limited brightness in HDR.

Questions and answers

Is the Q60D good for gaming?

It handles casual gaming, but the 60Hz panel and lack of variable refresh rate make it a weak pick for fast console or PC play. Gamers should look at 120Hz sets.

Does it have local dimming?

No. The Q60D uses edge-style Dual LED backlighting without local dimming, so blacks in dark rooms look grey compared with Mini LED and OLED sets.

Does it support Dolby Vision?

No. Samsung supports HDR10 and HDR10+ but not Dolby Vision, so Dolby Vision content plays in HDR10.

How does it compare with the Q80D?

The Q80D adds full-array local dimming, a 120Hz panel and better gaming features. The Q60D is the simpler, cheaper entry into QLED.

What is in the box?

The TV, a stand, a remote, a power cable and documentation. A wall mount and HDMI cables are not included.

Is an 85-inch TV too big for my room?

For a typical living room, 85 inches suits viewing distances of roughly 9 to 12 feet. Closer seating makes the pixel structure and upscaling softness more visible.
