We got this as an upgrade from a TCL 75" Roku TV from I think 2016-2017 because it was causing interruptions to our WiFi connection. After trying everything under the sun, we decided to get a non-Roku Smart TV and went with Samsung, because we already have another Samsung 55" Neo QLED that is amazing, and 2 Samsung phones.
As a quick side note, changing to a non-Roku TV solved our WiFi/internet woes, for anyone who may be experiencing a similar issue. When the old TV was on, the speeds would drop from 240Mbps to 10-40Mbps until it was powered off. No IP conflicts, router settings were correct, etc. Just an issue with Roku that has gone unsolved for many years.
Now, on with the review!
I will start by saying I'm not exactly technically inclined when it comes to TVs nor do I know much about the specifications and what they entail. I will give you an honest review from a user's standpoint in comparison to my previous model.
What I like about this product:
The picture is crisp, and moves fluidly. On the TCL we used to have, you could almost "see" the refresh rate and it reminded me (now) of a TV from the 90s. The TCL also had almost a dark grey color where the black parts should have been. However, the blacks on the Samsung Q60C are pretty close to true black. You'll probably never beat an OLED with a QLED, but it comes pretty close. It helps immerse you in movies, especially scary ones where you should be able to barely see what's lurking in the dark (in my opinion)!
It was easy to mount and MUCH lighter than our previous TV. The mount arm is no longer bending under the weight of our TV with the Q60C.
It has most the apps you'll need right out of the box, but if it's missing any, they're pretty easy to add.
The remote can charge by USB, or you can flip it over and charge it in the sun with the solar panels on the back.
What I don't like:
The menu can be a little sluggish at times to respond to inputs, which is a little frustrating. It's a minor inconvenience in my book and doesn't warrant a whole star removed, especially given how much of a difference it's made for us.
Score: 5/5, would definitely buy again.
