Samsung Q60C review, super budget QLED

715

The Samsung Q60C is one of the more budget-friendly models in Samsung’s QLED lineup, this one is slightly better than the Crystal but certainly not a QLED, which prompted me to do a full review on the 75-inch version.

Samsung Q60C: detailed specifications and essential features


The Samsung Q60C, released in 2023, features a VA panel made with QLED technology. The refresh rate is standard – 60 Hz, but in the 85-inch version it is increased to 120 Hz. The fact is that Samsung no longer produces LED panels, but buys from third-party manufacturers, so for 85-inch TVs were purchased panels with a frequency of 120 Hz.

Below is a table with the main technical specifications, as well as a more detailed description of each function of the TV.

This table organizes the key features and specifications of the Samsung Q60C.

Design: Samsung Q60C is characterized by a laconic design characteristic of budget TVs. The stands are located on the edges, which requires a fairly wide surface. This is typical of modern TVs, where 98% is occupied by the screen, in fact, there is nothing to say about the design.

Picture quality: During my testing of the Samsung Q60C, I checked its performance with a variety of content, from movies to sports broadcasts. The TV showed good color reproduction, although a few things need improvement.

  • The first thing that caught my eye is the lack of brightness in heavily lit rooms.
  • Lack of local dimming in the TV display with EDGE backlighting.
  • Contrast variation at an angle: this is a problem with all VA panels.

Audio features: The Samsung Q60C sound system, like most TVs in this price segment, is not designed to create impressive sound when watching movies. However, for its category, the Q60C offers quite decent sound quality.
It features a two-channel system with 20 watts of power.
The Q60C also features Object Tracking Sound (OTS) and Q-Symphony. OTS synchronizes sound with the movement of objects on the screen, enhancing the immersive experience, while Q-Symphony allows the TV’s speakers to work in tandem with a compatible Samsung soundbar to create a richer listening experience.

Samsung Q60C Smart capabilities: Samsung Q60C has a wide range of smart features typical of the company’s modern models. It runs on the Tizen operating system. The TV features include voice control, AI assistant compatibility, Multi-View streaming services, TV Plus, web browser and smart home integration via SmartThings Hub.

Samsung Q60C gaming features: The Samsung Q60C offers many gaming features including Auto Play Mode, Game Motion Plus, Super Ultra Wide Game View and more. It’s important to note that the Q60C’s screen runs at a 60Hz refresh rate, so you won’t be able to take full advantage of next-generation consoles.

Samsung Q60C connectivity: The Samsung Q60C has 3 HDMI ports, and there are also 2 USB ports on hand. For internet access, you can use Ethernet for a wired connection, but the downside is that the speed is only 100 mbps, but Wi-Fi provides more speed. The TV supports Bluetooth 5.2, so you can easily connect wireless headphones or speakers.
