Samsung Q60D: Reddit's Most Warned-Against TV

Q60D is a low end TV, so it's not surprising that it would look similar to another low end Samsung TV.

It is pretty much the worst possible/most entry level QLED you can get so I'm not surprised you aren't noticing much of a difference unless you were really comparing some kinds of colorful HDR content.

The Q60D is a poop turd of a tv. Entry level QLED barely a step up from the Crystal series. Should return that hunk of junk if they still can.

Samsung not having Dolby Vision is an absolute deal breaker for me so I cannot purchase their TVs.

The Q60D is really bad.

It's not a good tv no matter the price. 65" for that budget is an unrealistic ask.

Look at the QM7 55" from TCL for $480 and don't look back. It's as good as it'll get for the budget you're around.

Get the QM7 at $700 — way better TV. You get mini LED plus 120Hz and Dolby Vision at Best Buy. If it's only Target, go with OLED; Target has no other good TVs.

Bravia 7 first, then Samsung QN85D/Sony X90L, then at 50th place Samsung Q60D — do not buy if you're considering any of the three above.

There are amazing QLEDs and not amazing QLEDs.

Damn, everyone in here ripping on that TV like it owes them money.

The Q60D is hardly different from the Crystal. QN85 is where you start to get anything decent but it's overpriced compared to a QM8.

You don't have to spend quite $1000 on a 65" TV as the TCL QM7 for $697 is a really good TV for its price, so that's the minimum I would get.

The problem with Samsung TVs is that there is always a better option at every price range from brands like LG/Sony/TCL.

Bright room → Mini-LED. Dark room → OLED.

Samsung uses some odd OS (Tizen). Sony uses Google TV which IMO will become the standard. I run apps like Kodi, Stremio, and Tivimate natively on my X90L, no need for a Firestick, Apple TV or Roku.

Samsung must be giving them incentives, because Sony is the superior TV in pretty much every segment — unless you like the boosted neon Samsung colors.

I don't know how I would call it really bad. It's an entry-level TV that performs well at an entry level price. Personally I've been loving mine and been quite impressed with it for an entry level television. Of course it's not a premium top of the tier TV but it leaves a lot to be happy with.

It's the same TV as the QE1D. It's not a good TV by any measure. If size is the only thing you care about, it will fulfill that, but it's much worse than your Q80T.

Same issue on my 85". Read in another thread others are having issues as well. Samsung needs to figure this out ASAP.

Samsung. No, skip it even if it's free.

Among the choices mentioned, Bravia 7 is top notch, then X90L, followed by QN85D, and lastly Q60D.

I went with this sub's recommendation of the Sony models and got a 65" X90L open box on sale at Best Buy for $750. I couldn't be happier. It's a significant upgrade from what I had.

The Q60D is not a good TV. Majority of Samsung is trash and has terrible QC. The higher end Samsung models (OLED) — getting a good panel from them is like hitting the lottery.

OLED is a whole different animal — in a good way. Most QLED TVs are edge-lit, hot garbage.

In Canada I went in for an X90L or a U88N and the guy wouldn't stop pushing the Samsung Q80D, even though it was clearly worse.

QLED isn't the main reason you buy a specific TV. All good TVs have some sort of QLED tech, but they also have other things that make them good. Not all TVs marketed as QLED are actually good.

It's edge-lit. So color accuracy won't be too great and they're prone to dying faster than expected.

No, any MiniLED, even the Hisense U6N is the minimum!

Sadly yes, around that price range, it's best to get a TCL.

TCL QM7 or Q7 for your budget, or if you up it go with the Sony X90L.

I have nothing to say about Samsung panels; they're excellent. But as far as the software goes, it's not quite there... I own a 2024 QLED purchased a year ago, and I experience lag and slight input freezes far too often for a €600 product. If you're considering a Samsung, I think you should consider the OLED or NeoQLED models.

I'd get a refund and save up for a QN85 or QN90.

I just purchased the same model this weekend and have the same backlight bleed in the same spots. We purchased from Best Buy and exchanged for another TV today. Same backlight bleed spots on this TV as well. This seems to be common for this model; there's a lot of threads asking the same question. I've read it can diminish over time.

All the Q60 range is like this, that's why they are cheap. I got a refund on mine, and went with Sony mini LED. Edge-lit TVs will have this unbearable light bleed — should be illegal to sell them.

Don't even think to put a Q60D in the same category. It's edge-lit and way below the status quo. Q85 is ok but Samsung is just clueless with color science.

If you can afford the Bravia 7, go with the Bravia 7. Otherwise X90L is still an awesome TV. None of those Samsungs are on my buy radar.

You were dealing with a salesman who was offered a spiff for selling Samsung product.

Sony vs Samsung ain't even the same sport.

I wouldn't go with the QN85D over a Bravia 7 or even the X90L. The Q60D is even further down that list.

I bought a Q70D for my kid's room. Haven't had this backlight bleed issue. That's awful to see on the Q60D.
