Samsung TVs Qled Technology Review

September 21, 2019

For years, Samsung has dominated LCD, LED, and even OLED displays.

In fact, in any display technology that exists on the world market today. And when we start talking about TVs, Samsung is the first thing that comes to mind , with its famous and world-renowned image quality.

The company is always striving for leadership, and its pioneering spirit is especially evident in the recently trendy HDR, or high dynamic range, imaging technology.

In case you didn't know, Samsung was the first brand to release an HDR TV in 2015 and has been developing it ever since.

Year after year, it pushes us towards new standards in brightness, contrast, and color reproduction. The latest achievement of HDR technology is QLED TVs , which we will tell you about in this article.

LED stands for light-emitting diodes, and it's the technology that's been used in televisions for years and is even in your living room.

However, the key distinguishing feature of Qled is hidden in the letter Q, which stands for Quantum Dots.

As a result, if we add quantum dots to a standard LED, we get QLED. Quantum dots are very small crystals, also called nanocrystals. They are invisible to the eye, but they have special power and when light falls on them, they begin to glow, resulting in a very sharp color spectrum.

These crystals range in size from 3 to 6 nanometers. The exact color rendering depends on their size. Smaller dots help to render green, while larger ones produce a much sharper red.

What do quantum dots mean for the average TV user?

QLED TVs, compared to standard LED, can deliver much sharper colors, white balance, and contrast. Of particular note is the brightness, which is a record for TVs of this type and is equivalent to about 2,000 candelas per square meter.

Thanks to high contrast and brightness, the image is clearer and sharper. The increased dynamic range makes everything more epic and beautiful. In addition, QLED TVs deliver deeper blacks.

Compared to OLED, there are no burnt pixels here, and the company gives a 10-year guarantee that this will never happen in QLEDs. And if such a thing happens, Samsung will replace the screen without any problems. Samsung already has a number of TVs with QLED technology, but in this article, I will focus on two models in particular. These are the Q6F and Q7C.

Model overview

Let's start with the Q6F, which is the more budget-friendly of the two TVs presented. However, despite this, there is no sense of compromise in it.

The design is distinguished by very thin bezels from the front, thanks to which the TV will fit into any type of interior, be it an office space or a cozy home, but the most distinctive key feature of the design is the back, which is completely free of cables hanging like spaghetti.

The ideal solution to get rid of all these messy cables is oneconect, which moves absolutely all the connection ports from the TV to a separate module and connects it to the TV with just one simple cable.

You can connect absolutely everything you could ever need here. And at the same time, you'll save extra space. The TV stand is cylindrical in shape.

It is quite beautiful and it is worth noting that it is also possible to hide the Denzquita and OneConnect cables on the back. The visuals of the Q6f are excellent, despite the fact that it is a fairly budget model, but what is its content and image quality? After all, a TV is for the eyes.

As I mentioned earlier, this TV uses QLED technology. The screen resolution is 3840x2160, which is 4K . It supports HDR 10 and has a brightness equivalent to 1000 candelas per square meter.

This TV is ideal for those who are attracted to computer games - gamers .

The 55-inch size is the optimal middle ground between too small and gigantic. To increase dynamic range and brightness, two technologies were used simultaneously - pick illumination, which provides brighter illumination of LED diodes in specific sectors of the image, and the second is presation black, which can locally turn off or dim the screen to achieve a much blacker color.

Personally, I really liked the screen. The colors are pleasant and saturated, and at the same time, as close to reality as possible. Most importantly, it is not overly bright and is a great pleasure to watch.

Added to all this is the super brightness, due to which the TV has an ideal image even in daylight. The 4K resolution makes everything much clearer, so that even small details are clearly visible. It is worth noting that the q6f is also positioned for gamers, since it has a very low latency screen and any game is very comfortable, there is no latency or lag anywhere.

Therefore, if you are a fan of FPS shooters or racing games and play on a console, this TV will definitely make you happy.

Compared to the Q6f, the Q7c series belongs to a more premium line of TVs, and its main focus is design.

You'll probably agree that it looks very nice. The Q7c's visuals are much more refined and elegant. On the front, there are even thinner bezels that blend perfectly with the body.

Due to the framelessness, at first glance, even from a distance, it seems like you're not looking at an object, but at a direct image. Added to this is the arc-shaped shape of the screen, which draws you in from start to finish and teleports you to the image.

The situation on the back is the same as in the case of the previous TV. There are no connectors at all and they are separated into a separate module, however, there is one very big difference. If the Q6F has a standard OneConnect cable, in the premium Q7 line Samsung offers a very elegant and invisible solution.

That's exactly what it's called - invisible connection, the same as an invisible cable, which is very thin and we can extend or shorten it as we wish. Which means that we can place the connecting module wherever we want, even in another room. Depending on the size, 49, 55 and 65-inch screens are available, the resolution of which is also 3840x2160, the same as 4K. There is also support for HDR 10, although the brightness is even higher compared to Q6F.

It has a maximum of 1500 candelas per square meter. In terms of dynamic range, the image and contrast are better on this model due to the higher brightness.

Of course, there is also pick illumination and precision black technology, which controls the depth of lighting and black colors. Thanks to QLED technology, both TVs have an excellent screen. Both TVs come with a minimalist remote control, which makes controlling the TV very easy. Samsung calls it oneremote, and this is because it is universal and you can control not only the TV, but also any device connected to wifi.

Even a game console or any other smart device, so there's no need to search for remotes all over the house. The Q7c's remote also has a built-in microphone, and you can also control the TV with your voice, which is very convenient.

The TVs run on Samsung's latest Tizen 3.0 operating system, and compared to last year's system, 3.0 has a lot of changes. In terms of interface, everything is much nicer, simpler, and most importantly, faster. You can log in and out of applications instantly.

Of course, a smart TV has a phone-to-phone feature , which means you can cast content from your phone to your TV. As a result, you can share your smartphone screen, videos, pictures, or even play games.

To summarize, the Q6F and Q7C are two very high-quality TVs, and most importantly, they have one of the best images achieved thanks to QLED technology.

On one side we have a relatively budget model, which is aimed at the majority of users and, due to the low screen latency, is oriented towards gamers. On the other side we have an arc-shaped premium TV , the main charm of which is precisely the design.

Samsung, as always, has produced excellent TVs. Quantum dot technology offers users infinite colors, contrast, and high dynamic range.

It is also amazing that just a few years ago, QLED technology was just a concept, and today anyone can buy such a TV on installments . It will be interesting to see what the next few years will bring us.
