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 We start with the Eco Solution sub-menu and turn off every option. Environmental concerns aside, the power-saving options are too detrimental to picture quality. We uploaded the brightness measurements and uniformity photos after running the TV for two months in our Accelerated Longevity Test.

We uploaded the brightness measurements and uniformity photos after running the TV for four months in our Accelerated Longevity Test. It’s worth playing with the options in the Sound menu. We find that the Optimised mode, which adds punch and weight, is good for action movies, but for most general viewing, we are better served by the Standard mode.

Samsung Q75B: Pros and Cons

The mid-range model in Samsung’s 2021 4K QLED line-up, the Q70A is an elegant looking 4K option with a whole raft of features for home cinema, TV and gaming addicts alike. It’s also a considerably less expensive option than any of Samsung’s recently released Neo QLED Mini LED range. Subtitle and audio description information spoken on the electronic programme guide more info panel Adding even an inexpensive soundbar will transform your audio experience, though, and we’d recommend you budget for at least one of those, if not a proper surround system.

Max light output HDR (high dynamic range) while displaying a live scene and white square taking up 10% of the screen (measured in Nits) Drop down to standard-def and the image is still watchable, with a degree of finesse and balance that would have seemed impossible on a screen this large just a few years ago. However, LG’s 2017 OLEDs are even better in this regard. The QE65Q7F delivers all of the good things we’ve come to expect from Samsung’s QLED’s – punchy, vibrant, vivid and sharp images that pop from the screen and dazzle the viewer in the best possible way. Unfortunately, but not unexpectedly, Samsung forgot to bring the bass, which is an essential part of any self-respecting home cinema. Obviously, this bass deficiency can be easily rectified with the addition of a soundbar – something Samsung has more than pre-empted with its 2021 Q-series and A-series soundbar range.

Subtitles and audio description information displayed on electronic programme guide programme banner What Samsung calls AirSlim, the Q70A has a depth of just 27mm and a bezel that measures just 12mm. It’s almost all-screen, making it perfect for popping on the wall, but if wall-mounting isn’t an option it also comes with a perfectly functional centre-mounted stand that allows it to be positioned pretty much anywhere, so there’s ample flexibility on that score. Next up – and of particular interest to PS5 and Xbox Series X owners – the Q70A’s panel has a refresh rate of 120Hz and is capable of delivering 120fps on a 4K signal. If that wasn’t enough, it’s imbued with a new feature called ‘Motion Xcelerator Turbo+’ that enhances motion clarity for incredibly smooth, crisp gameplay, plus it supports FreeSync variable refresh rate (VRR) and promises an impressively low input lag, all combining to deliver a premium next-gen gaming experience for a mid-range price. ALLM (Auto Low-Latency Mode) is also on hand to boot the TV into a low-input Game mode when next-gen consoles are connected. The catch? There’s only one HDMI 2.1 input. Bear in mind that when the TV senses an HDR signal from any source (it supports HDR10 but not Dolby Vision) it will switch to a new set of defaults, labelled as Standard.

We uploaded the latest brightness measurements and uniformity photos for the Accelerated Longevity Test. Still if you want a TV that dazzles with HDR content first and foremost, you won’t be disappointed with the Q7F. HDR10 and HLG are nice to have, but it’s the HDR10+ support that’s most important. This HDR format enhances images by fine-tuning the brightness in each and every scene to eke out the smallest details that might otherwise be lost to dark shadows or specular highlights. And if your Q70A resides in a room with variable ambient light (as most will), the TV’s adaptive brightness can automatically adjust contrast and brightness to suit the environment, keeping your 4K HDR movies looking impactful.We prefer the Samsung with the motion processing turned off entirely, and the little bit of blurring you get certainly isn’t too off-putting. A billion cinematic colours are all yours. See the content you love in a new light, with incredible picture detail and bold contrast every time you watch. Plus, you'll experience the thrills of virtual 3D audio that follows the on-screen action. All on an super slim, minimalist TV that's designed to blend right in.

The sound is relatively full-bodied by flatscreen standards, and there’s plenty of detail and clarity for everyday viewing.The Samsung QE65Q7F has a combination of good out-of-the-box settings and a selection of simplified settings, making it easy to set-up the optimum picture.
