Samsung Q60D | AKA QE1D (Samsung.com Exclusive) & AKA Q64D/Q65D/Q67D in Europe
Full Rtings Review

The Bottom Line (Rtings): "The Samsung Q60D QLED is the lowest-end model in Samsung's QLED lineup. It replaces the Samsung Q60C QLED and sits below the Samsung Q70D QLED. Like its predecessor, it's a 60Hz TV and doesn't have modern features like HDMI 2.1 bandwidth, VRR support, or local dimming."

"The TV doesn't get bright enough in HDR for highlights to stand out, and it only has okay contrast, so HDR content isn't as impactful as it should be. Its viewing angle is narrow, so the image degrades when viewed from the sides, making it unsuitable for watching shows or sports with friends. Unfortunately, it also has a slow response time, so faster motion in sports or video games is blurry. Finally, the TV isn't a very good option for gaming on modern consoles or PCs since it lacks HDMI 2.1 bandwidth and VRR."

"The Samsung Q60D is a very basic TV that is decent overall. Unfortunately, it's substantially overpriced for a TV lacking modern features, and its picture quality is nothing special. "

r/HTBuyingGuides: The Q60Dis the replacement for the incredibly poor Q60C. It has a slow processor, horrible motion handling, & poor upscaling. Simply put the TV provides poor value for its performance as evidenced by its specifications & rtings testing.

Build Quality
"Unfortunately, the inputs are recessed into the TV, so they're hard to reach if you wall-mount it with a fixed bracket."

"There are no major flaws with build quality, but the TV feels cheap since it's made entirely of plastic."

r/HTBuyingGuides: TV is made cheaply as expected. HDMI 3 & Toslink port are in a pain in the ass position if mounted.

Contrast & Brightness
Local Dimming? NO

Backlit: EDGE

"The Samsung Q60D has okay contrast. Its native contrast is great, but it lacks a local dimming feature. This causes blacks to be deep in dim and dark scenes, but they become raised and washed out when bright highlights are on the screen."

"The Samsung Q60D has adequate HDR brightness. It gets bright enough for some dimmer highlights to stand out, but it's not enough for most highlights to pop. Combined with the TV's only okay contrast, it doesn't provide an impactful HDR experience."

"The TV has great PQ EOTF tracking, but it's not perfect. Blacks are displayed a bit brighter than intended, and mid-tones are displayed a bit darker than intended."

r/HTBuyingGuides: TV has poor HDR brightness and is not suitable for any HDR usage.

Color Gamut/Volume
"The TV has mediocre HDR gradient handling. There's very apparent banding in greens and some noticeable banding in grays and blues. Reds fare better and have minimal banding."

r/HTBuyingGuides: Typical Samsung cool color temperature to fake/push brightness higher.

Other
"The TV has poor low-quality content smoothing."

"there's almost no smoothing actually done to the image, so there's still significant macro-blocking in dark scenes."

"The TV uses a BGR (Blue-Green-Red) subpixel layout instead of the traditional RGB layout. For video or gaming content, this doesn't cause any issues, but for PC monitor use, it can be a problem as it impacts the text clarity, although not everyone will notice this."

"This TV doesn't support a variable refresh rate to reduce screen tearing."

Final Thoughts
Hard Facts - 60 hz, Edge Lit, No Local Dimming. Poor HDR Brightness. No VRR/Free Sync/G-Sync.

Samsung has had poor Processors for years with bad upscaling/processing/motion handling especially on their cheapest TV's.

Overly blue/Panel backlight setting locked behind service menu.

Horrible Tizen OS.

Massive Reduction in QA/QC for Samsung since ~2016.

Better Value Elsewhere.

We would not recommend anyone purchase the Samsung Q60D

For those in the US/Canada - TCL Q750G/QM751G. For Europe & Other Regions - TCL C745

Hmmm...I have an old 32" tv I can use for a trade-in. There's also Samsung CB with the BoA credit card.

RTINGS states that the Q1ED is the same as the Q60D.

Sam's Club has the Vizio V4K55C-0801 WiFi 6 tv for $329 that comes with a 3 year warranty and 6 months of AMC & Starz. It looks to be the same as this tv:

dang. Wish I saw this before I purchased the 65inch when this was last posted. Upgrading from a much older Samsung TV so hopefully it's adequate!

One thing folks should do is chat with the support agents and ask for an extra discount - I was able to get the 65inch for like $430.

The Q1ED is an online exclusive for Samsung. They have different model numbers for different stores like Sam's Club and Costco too.

Ok course it's not the same model. It's a Vizo. Sam's Club has a sale going on this weekend and it includes some of the Vizio televisions.

Bro. You linked a vizio in your original comment and said Sam's has it on sale. I compared model numbers and they're not the same.

Chat with CSR, they applied another 10%, I was between this one and the Hisense Costco has it for 549$. I hope this one is better.

No! I compared the Sam's club model to the direct vizio you linked! Are you slow?
