QLED TVs are a step above budget LEDs and a step below premium OLEDs. One example is the 65-inch QLED Samsung TV Q60CB, which sits at a surprising price of $492.68 (originally $947.99) after a nearly 50% discount. This is the lowest price this TV has been since its release according to price tracking tools.ok!
For those who are willing to pay a bit more than a budget LED but don’t want to spend a ton, the 65-inch Q60CB is a perfect middle ground. Like all QLED TVs, you’ll notice a difference in colors compared to budget TVs, with deeper blacks and a wider range of colors. However, this TV won’t have local dimming technology you’ll find in Hisense U7N or the TCL QM7, but that’s why you’re saving money.
Some other things this TV will lack compared to newer or higher end QLEDs are HDMI 2.1 bandwidth (if you’re not a gamer this won’t make a difference) and variable refresh rate (VRR) support—again, mainly for gamers but also for streaming content with inconsistent frame rates. Gamers will be happy to know that this TV has a low input lag of 9 ms.
Because this is a smart TV, you’ll have the Tizen smart platform to download apps. If you’re going to watch SDR content, the peak brightness on the Q60CB will be strong, making it able to handle viewing in bright rooms, plus the screen has good reflection handling. HDR content won’t look as bright because of the lack of local dimming, but in dark rooms you’ll still be able to enjoy the QLED picture quality.
