Below is a tiny string of app tiles for streaming services, and lower still is the now-standard array of thumbnails, headed by a "Recent" input I used (not a recent streaming show or movie, which would have been nice). The upper two-fifths of the screen is devoted to a big ad, matching the first "sponsored" tile, which rotated between Hulu, Prime Video and the Samsung Game Hub "coming soon" on my review sample. Samsung's is almost as bad as LG's in my book, wasting screen space with ads and clutter I don't care about. I didn't test the latter two methods.įor the last few years Samsung's smart TV home page consisted of a banner along the bottom of the screen that popped over what you're watching, but new for 2022 pressing the home key summons an all-new Smart Hub menu that takes over the whole screen - just like Roku, Google TV and new LG TVs. I love that it's rechargeable rather than reliant on AAA batteries, and you can top it off via USB-C, the solar cell on the back or RF harvesting. The keys are well-placed, lacking garish colors and pleasantly sparse, the raised volume and channel bars are a nice change from standard buttons and the metallic, wraparound finish feels high-end.
Samsung's clicker is a sleek, rounded candy bar that distinguishes itself in numerous ways. And the TV itself is just 1 inch thick, compared to 2.83 inches for the Sony X80K. The top and edges around the picture measure less than a half-winch wide on my 55-inch review sample while the bottom, unlike most other TVs, is just as thin. The Samsung Q60B stands out from the slew of entry-level TVs with an ultra-thin frame, a skinny profile from the side and even narrow stand legs. The 55-inch Q60B I reviewed measured just an inch thick. Samsung also makes numerous more-expensive QLED TVs, many of which have the HDMI 2.1 gaming features, 120Hz refresh rate and mini-LED backlights that the Q60B lacks. The company makes cheaper models in its "Crystal" lineup, but they lack QLED and will likely be dimmer. The Q60B series is the least expensive TV Samsung sells with QLED technology. All sizes have similar specs and should provide similar picture quality. I performed a hands-on evaluation of the 55-inch Samsung QN55Q60B, but this review also applies to the other screen sizes in the series. +14 more See all photos Samsung Q60B sizes, series comparison
