This 50” screen has four times the number of pixels than 1080p Full HD TVs, delivering stunning realism, natural motion and incredible detail. I thought detail levels, especially the essentials of skin-tone and -texture, are high. Patterns are described in depth, edges are drawn smoothly, and motion-handling is assured in all but the most trying circumstances. It also works with Smart Things devices (compatible phone and app required. Exact functionality may change at any time and be withdrawn from the product without notice).

It may not be the most glamorous TV you can buy for this sort of money, at least not in the way it looks as an object, but the Q60T/Q65T has it where it counts. I thought it looks great with 4K content, and it does gallant work upscaling lower-resolution video too. The QE55Q65T also loses AI upscaling by having the Quantum Processor Lite engine. There’s also no anti-glare technology, which is important if you’re in a bright room with plenty of light reflecting onto the screen.

One Remote Control: control all of your compatible devices and content with one universal remote control. Percentage luminance drop at 20 degree vertical angle from the centre of the screen with 100% white output As an upscaler, the Q60T/Q65T proved equally adept. A 1080p Blu-ray disc enjoys many of the same positives as native 4K content: impressive contrasts, a nicely nuanced colour palette, and secure motion. I found some of the finest details are overlooked somewhat, and any wide shots of open sky or wide prairie (for example) did host a touch of picture noise, but the Samsung’s overall stability is praiseworthy. The QLED panel includes a quantum dot filter to enhance contrast. It's not a total game-changer by itself, and the 'QLED' moniker usually covers a host of different picture technologies – though at the bottom of the QLED range you're not getting all of them.

Ambient Mode: turns the TV screen into a decorative feature, displaying useful information, your own photos or blending the TV into its surroundings.*There’s no Freeview Play – Samsung’s alternative is its TV Plus service and, as we’ve repeatedly banged on with Samsung sets, the interface is easy to get to grips with. Max light output HDR (high dynamic range) while displaying a live scene and white square taking up 60% of the screen (measured in Nits) There's also a new solar-powered remote that comes with all 2021 Samsung TVs, and will mean you're not cycling through batteries every few months. Percentage Luminance drop at 35 degree horizontal angle from the centre of the screen with 50% white output The Samsung Q60A is this year's entry-level 4K QLED, meaning you'll get something of a saving, though alongside some drops in specification compared to more premium models.

Pictures soften, of course, edges become less certain, and picture noise becomes uncomfortably common too, but nevertheless the Samsung managed to maintain a good colour balance and passable detail levels in my tests, even in darker scenes.

The best budget QLED TV we've tested is the Hisense U6/U6K. It's a well-rounded option with surprisingly good picture quality. This Hisense has excellent contrast, so dark scenes look amazing in a dark room, with little blooming around bright areas of the screen. It also has good peak brightness in SDR and decent reflection handling, so glare isn't an issue in a brighter room. It has an excellent color volume, making this TV very colorful overall. It's bright enough in HDR for a pleasant viewing experience, and just like the Hisense U8/U8K and Hisense U7K, it supports both HDR10+ and Dolby Vision HDR, although it doesn't support advanced DTS audio formats like those models do.This screen has four times the number of pixels than Full HD TVs, delivering stunning realism, natural motion and incredible detail.

As a gaming set, the QE55Q65T shows impressive speeds. With Game mode on, I recorded latency at 9ms (1080p/60Hz), which is class-leading in the TV market. There’s Game mode Auto, which irons out any wrinkles in the image and adds motion blur, although that drives latency to 25.1ms. Stepping down in the quality of source input inevitably results in a step-down in picture quality – although unlike some other affordable 4K TVs, the Q60T/Q65T doesn’t just throw in the towel the moment it’s confronted with a DVD or a standard-def TV broadcast. Quantum HDR powered by HDR10+ - See the content you love in a new light, with incredible picture detail and vibrant colour every time you watch With TVs getting slimmer and built-in speakers getting smaller, choosing the right sound system is more important than ever. Soundbars enhance your TV's sound quality and add that extra audio punch to all your movies, games and TV programmes. More affordable and easier to set up than a full size speaker system, they don't compromise on quality either. As a Samsung smart TV, you'll get the Tizen operating system, which is one of the best out there, with a well-organized home screen and broad app support, from Netflix and Disney Plus to Hulu (for those in the US) and Freeview Play (for those in the UK). The Tizen platform works with Alexa and Google Assistant too, though the built-in Bixby is present if you ever feel sorry for the maligned (and unspectacular) voice assistant.
