Forget the LG unless you want to get OLED. LG often have low contrast


Now I was going to get this TV but really after comparing it side by side to the Sony 90 series, yes the brightness is low. Other folks have stated the same. From Techradar

The Samsung Q60T QLED occupies an important spot in Samsung's TV 2020 lineup, being the cheapest of the brand's QLED sets – and therefore, effectively, the worst best Samsung TV has released this year. It's great value, but that inevitably comes with compromises, with the Q60T's picture suffering from low brightness, mild motion blur, and dull HDR objects.

Looks like Samsung wanted to save costs by coming out with a new model inferior to older model. They have been doing that lately.

But that draw necessarily comes with drawbacks. You're getting a drop in processing power compared to last year's Q60R, with a Quantum Processor Lite chip instead of the Quantum Processor 4K used in most QLED models. Edge lighting, too – a lighting system that illuminates the picture from the sides rather than behind the panel – is a cheap way to light up a set's images, but means there are issues with consistency of brightness, off-axis viewing, and the strength of HDR objects.

Ugly review here on tomsguide. The bigger the set the bigger the issues you will notice

Prob not. Prob wouldn't matter to you if you watched sports also tbh.

Also depends what you use to watch sports - if it's streaming devices I don't think it matters either.

I bough this tv from costco, have noticed zero issues other than when I put on a soccer game, I saw the ball have a after image floating through air when it was kicked. we play ps5 on its Fortnite, switch etc, no issues. no issues with any of the streaming services hulu/netflix/iTunes etc.

works for us. add costco CC as purchase and you get 7 year total warranty


its bright, vivid, and I think it honestly is great for the value. I was all gun hoe about buying a top line TV for the basement, but pleasantly surprised, its exceeded our expectations, 7 year warranty to boot. no complaints. it isnt my primary tv. so no reason to spend mega money on a basement tv.

We don't watch sports so honestly take away sports and it's no different than my upstairs Samsung flagship models.

Lol I watch iTunes Hulu Netflix and Funimation anime.

Zero lag anywhere. None w Ps5 either. The lighting is satisfactory it's in an led lit room and it's nice and bright.

60hz I was going to pass on it but I did it with knowing 90 day return policy. We are happy. But we aren't sport watchers

this is also available in 80+ category. not an apples-to-apples comparison between the 2 sets though.

No local dimming and on an 82in TV and 60hz. Seems like a bad combo of features or lack thereof. Its 2022, I don't know how they still sell stuff like this, or why people still buy it.

I'm wondering the same thing but leaning towards the 86 for size and native 120h. Saw it in person, it's obnoxiously big lol
How much was the 86"? And which model?

Quote from azoiic :
so what you need higher refresh rate for then?
Each frame is how many images appear per second. It's really only important for gaming. Basically imagine a flip book (120hz). If I removed every other page (60hz) then the resulting flip book would look "choppy" as you play it.

For watching TV, it doesn't really matter. That stuff is already 60hz.

For gaming it can be a huge factor. One of my favorite games was Spider-Man on PS4. Loved it. It runs at 60hz. On my PS5 I got to play it at 120hz. Amazing. Loved it. I tried the PS4 version again... it sucks. Spider-Many runs "funny" and he seems to stutter as he moves now. Same game, different refresh rate.

YMMV but select Costco warehouses have the 82" Q6DT on clearance already, for $1299.97. I believe that the reason why it is only select Costco warehouses is because they are overstocked.

My Costco has it for 1499.97 in Richmond, VA. I picked up the second to the last one.

But at least it is even.

It does matter, and here is the issue. Lots of movies and shows these days are 24 fps (especially via all the streaming services). 24 doesn't divide into 60, so out of 60 frames, we see half of the frames 3 times and half only 2 times (every second). Using your word, that's way more choppy as it's not even (at least 120 cut down to 60 is a lot more "normal").

BUT... On a 120, 24 divides in evenly (5), 30 divides in evenly (4), and 60 divides in evenly (2) so you don't get uneven skips with those rates.

Looks like most of the other 75"+ tvs go on sale 2/14.
