Samsung QE55Q70RAU

Advantages: - Color rendition - Contrast and black level - Native dynamics + motion interpolation seems to have reached the point of development when you don't want to turn it off for any application. - Tizen flies and is very convenient - AirPlay works like a clock (how convenient it is! Plus, it solves all restrictions on online viewing on various sites) - AppleTV works like a clock (including 4K HDR movies) - WiFi ac - no wire needed - Upscale 720p and 1080p up to 4K very high quality (better than expected) - Processor speed (movies in 4K HVEC HDR at high bitrates without the slightest brakes) - Brightness (quite enough, but could be much better, there is no "future" margin) - Sound is quite decent (for tv, of course)

Disadvantages: - When viewed from the side, the saturation of colors drops (in practice, the colors do not shift, which greatly negates the effect). If it is of principle for you, then the Q80 is much better in this parameter. - Uniformity of monochrome pictures, especially at an angle, could be better - Constant PWM when motion interpolation is turned on (whether you notice it depends on personal characteristics) - The built-in movie player is far from omnivorous. But it is not critical and Plex solves the issue for free 99%. Nevertheless, if you want uncompromising omnivorousness or you have an advanced audio system, you may need a separate console.

Comment: Bottom line: TV is a bomb. One of the best in class. I am very satisfied. For example: At night I watched a 4k hdr movie The Martian online through the built-in AppleTV application - scenes in space, scenes with bright contrasting lighting are very, very impressive: detail, dynamics, black level, no glare, color saturation. Then I watched the Lion King in 4k hdr through my own player. The picture is crystal clear and in stunning detail. YouTube 4K - Similar, but slightly worse due to the usually lower bitrate. Note: If you have the Internet, then terrestrial TV in 2019 will not be useful for you, even for watching "classic" channels. IPTV gives a much better picture.

Advantages: Picture quality Thin frames Smart Tizen

Disadvantages: Basically, the TV suits me, but there are a couple of little things: There is no pointer, entering letters manually in 2020 is something like that You cannot tune the menu, for example, remove the Apps and Ambient section, which I do not use, because of this I have to click left once more to get to Settings No 120ghz in 4k

Comment: More than satisfied with the purchase, I took it with discounts for 70, mainly for Youtube and games - ideal. It seemed that 55 was too much, but no, I'm very glad that I didn't take 49, reading the text in games from the sofa is most convenient (about two meters from the eyes to the TV)

Advantages: The quality and smoothness of the picture, thin frames, comfortable reliable legs, 4K, sound 2.1, smart interface. Bluetooth (or radio?) Remote.

Disadvantages: Not quite adequate auto-brightness mode, possibly weight (for wall mounting you need a powerful bracket). Lack of headphone output (but there is Bluetooth and optics). Voice control is torture, very inaccurate recognizes words.

Comment: Usage scenario: YouTube, NAS movies, Ethernet connection, Sony PS4 (fat). The choice was between Q7F and Q60R. In the store, both TVs were hung side by side: in the Q60R, the image is dimmer and less clear, less contrast. The picture is better in Q7F, but last year's model, without AirPlay support, etc. Bulky outboard unit and central leg, which does not allow to place the soundbar normally. The Q70r combines the benefits of both the Q60R and Q7F. The picture is slightly better than in Q7F, legs on the sides (PS4 can easily fit under a standing TV), 2.1 sound (comparable to a soundbar without a subwoofer), current model year, thin frames, there is AirPlay (you can even broadcast a PC screen on Windows wirelessly) , smart menu, turns on and off very quickly. Ambient mode is almost useless, although there is some sense of the picture. Samsung has not supported DTS sound since 2018, but content from torrents rarely contains DTS tracks: only Dolby Digital. And the new items are available in different formats and rips, so the lack of DTS is unlikely to be a problem. And DTS is in the PS4. From the TV you can turn on / on and control the PS4 navigation, the TV understands that the PS4 / Xbox is turned on and on. Game Mode and HDR (non-4K games reopened). The powerful processor allows you to quickly navigate menus, enter data from the keyboard and switch between applications. There is a smoothing mode Auto Motion Plus. This is not a novelty, but earlier this function was simply impossible to use: the processor power was not enough to prevent the picture from stuttering from time to time. Here, on the contrary, I do not want to turn off this option, since a car traveling across the bridge from a bird's-eye view is already going like "steps". This feature is worth paying attention to fans of 24 frames in films. However, at large diagonals and 30 fullHD frames, image jerking is most noticeable during poor-quality shooting without stabilization: at 32 "you don't pay attention to it. At 55" anti-aliasing is trying, but if someone in the frame quickly waves his hand, his hand trembles.

Advantages: 1. Price. 70,000 RUB for the official TV set in Kaluga. I think this price tag is quite reasonable. 2. Image quality (see the comments for details). 3. The sound is rich, bass, sometimes even starts to seem voluminous. The main thing is that thoughts about the soundbar disappeared right away. 4. There are many preinstalled applications and various ways of displaying images on the screen: there are netflix and Apple TV (yes, the AppleTV application on a samsung TV. I was surprised myself), AirPlay support is also available - video from an iPhone is streamed without question. Plus all sorts of smart views and others like them - there is plenty to choose from.

Disadvantages: 1. Remote control. Not that it was a complete failure, but its functionality and convenience are clearly not enough to control such a TV. As long as you click back and forth the layout of the series in the same netflix - everything is fine. When it comes to searching and typing, suffering begins.Could learn from LG's experience in remote control, honestly. 2. I find fault, of course, but the shell could be more jovial. At times, navigation slows down a bit. Not critical, but still.

Comment: For a very long time I suffered with the choice of TV - I chose between sony, samsa and skis. Sony disappeared pretty quickly - it seems like functional, and the image is praised by various publications ... But the soul does not lie. And the remote control, like a hello from the past in a TV set for 100+ thousand, looks ridiculous. Looked at LG OLED for a long time. I shoveled the entire Internet. As a result, I came to the conclusion that the era of OLED TVs has not yet arrived - you get a lot of obvious and potential jambs for your own money. I was afraid. The price tag of 70k for this sams in a well-known store helped me finally decide on the purchase) I bought it. Surprisingly, samsa on a regular LCD matrix were able to achieve a very, very decent picture - apparently, due to the back spot illumination of the matrix. Black is really black - especially noticeable when white text is displayed on a black screen - only the text is lit, the rest of the screen is black. The good news is that you don't have to bother with content like OLED panels for fear of image retention. The LCD matrix does not care about static. Well, a certain trust in Samsung TVs has already been developed - there are only 8 of them in the family (the oldest since 2008), there were not any problems. Hope it doesn't arise here either :)

Advantages: Great TV. The colors are such that it already eats the eyes in a good way, if you look at the maximum colors and brightness. Everything is clear, the colors are good. We should also mention the upscaling up to 4k, my videos on a 3440x1440 monitor look worse than on this 55 panel, I don't know how he does it, but the result is excellent.

Disadvantages: As I understand it, this model does not have an anti-glare film or something like that, only on the Q77, but it costs more than 10k cheaper. In general, not critical.

Comment: There is a reviewer on youtube who told me how this TV "turns yellow", he made me doubt for a long time when choosing, as it turned out in vain, he was just not competent. There is a "shade" setting where there are warm, cold, and standard presets, I recommend setting the standard and the colors will be natural. The main thing in "Auto Motion Plus" is to set "shake reduction" to 2 no more, this function alone can ruin your whole TV experience. I recommend taking the settings from the photo below in the "Dynamic" mode.

Advantages: Large and beautiful screen with a thin bezel. Quick. Without an external unit, if the repair has already been carried out conveniently. Since in models with an external unit, the length of the thin cord is not long enough and there is nowhere to hide.

Disadvantages: The remote control responds to other TVs in other rooms. When channels are switched in one room, it switches to another. Don't know how to solve this problem yet? Mounting to a 200x200 mm bracket is rather weak, it dangles a little on the wall.

Comment: I have a 2019 QE55Q70RAU in one room, hanging on the wall and in another QE55Q7FNA 2018. there is something to compare, the image is equally great. The frame of the screen seems prettier in the QE55Q7FNA ... AirPlay has not yet been searched for or found.

Advantages: -Image quality -Quick switching in menus, etc. Taizen is certainly better than android. -Stable WIFI (5 GHz) (does not fall off, the distance to the router is 5 m through two concrete walls) -The soccer ball does not fly like a comet :) apparently the new processor is not advertising (maybe the matrix was dispersed :)), but a fact. Color reproduction is natural, black is really black. Smart flies without brakes, YouTube, and everything else loads quickly, without any problems. Voice (+ control) search is what you need on a TV connected to the Internet !, also without problems.(Internet speed 200Mb (GPON) Direct LED backlighting of the screen corresponds to advertising, no glare.

Disadvantages: Samsung advertises that now the TV can be viewed from any angle, this is NOT TRUE !, the image fades when viewed from the side, but there are no sharp corners when viewing, i.e. left to right (at a distance of 2.5 meters from the screen) by 60-70 cm. brightness, contrast, saturation of the image does not change.

Comment: downloaded a program for viewing digital federal (and not only) channels from MTS on the Internet without any problems. These are the impressions of one evening of watching this TV (the second Samsung TV in the house)
