The Samsung QN65Q60TA is more than just another 65-inch TV; it’s a statement piece in a world where screen quality often takes a backseat to flashy marketing.

With its Ultra High Definition 4K Quantum HDR technology, the Q60TA aims to deliver impressive visuals, but does it really stand out in a crowded market of smart TVs? In this review, we’ll dive deep into its performance, features, and whether the extra year of coverage from Epic Protect is a worthwhile investment or just a safety net for a product that might not meet expectations.

System and Setup**​

When I first got my hands on this TV, I was excited for the setup process. The delivery was speedy, which I appreciated, but I was a bit unsettled when it just got dropped at my door. The tracking claimed I signed for it, but I definitely didn’t—how could that happen? After spending a good amount of money, I expected a bit more care in the delivery. Once I got it mounted above my fireplace, though, I was relieved to find it fit perfectly and looked great in the space.

**2. Picture Quality**
Initially, the picture quality wowed me with its clarity and sharpness. However, I quickly started to notice some inconsistencies. While some shows looked vibrant, others had a strange bluish tint to skin tones, which was pretty frustrating. I found myself switching between picture modes, but even the "dynamic" setting sometimes turned colors into weird blobs instead of enhancing them. It was like a mixed bag; one minute I’d be admiring a stunning scene, and the next I’d be scratching my head at how odd things looked.

**3. Sound Quality**
The sound quality was decent, and I enjoyed watching movies with no issues there. However, the lack of volume-equalizing really drove me crazy. I’d be engrossed in a quiet show, and suddenly it would switch to this blasting music channel, jolting me out of my seat. I wish the TV would offer a smoother audio experience—something that would seamlessly transition between different types of content without the shock factor.

**4. Other Experience**
Using the smart features of this TV has been a rollercoaster ride. Some days, everything worked perfectly, but other times, the streaming apps would crash or become unresponsive. It was frustrating, especially when I just wanted to relax and watch a show without having to reboot the TV or navigate through confusing updates. Not to mention, the app interface can feel clunky and unfriendly, making simple tasks seem overly complicated.

**5. Pros**
There are definitely some positives to this TV. The initial picture quality is sharp and colorful, and I have to give credit to how well it fits in with my decor. The sound is good enough for casual viewing, especially in a game room setting. When everything runs smoothly, watching movies and shows can be a great experience.

**6. Cons**
But there are notable downsides. The picture quality can be inconsistent, motion blur is annoying, and the user interface feels sluggish. I also had a frustrating encounter where my son accidentally touched the screen and it broke—it really left me bewildered at the build quality. And with all the issues surrounding the smart features, I often find myself wishing I had gone with a different brand altogether.

**7. Overall Evaluation**
In conclusion, while this TV has its moments of brilliance, I can't help but feel disappointed overall. The inconsistent picture quality and frustrating smart features really detract from what should be a premium experience. If I could do it all over again, I would definitely consider brands like Sony or LG that seem to offer a more reliable and user-friendly experience. For now, I’ll make the best of it, but I can’t shake off the feeling that I might have made a mistake with this purchase.

I’m really loving this TV! The picture is super clear and sharp. The delivery was quick, but they just dropped it off at my door and bounced. They say I signed for it, but I definitely didn’t! That’s kinda sketchy, especially since I paid a premium price for it. Just left it at the door like it’s no big deal!
 
I was super worried it would be too big at first, but once I got it up, it fit like a glove over my fireplace! The reception is awesome, and the colors pop! Totally happy with this choice!

Honestly, the picture quality isn’t as amazing as they claimed. Sometimes the screen just freezes out of nowhere! Plus, it showed up with a defect, and I never heard a peep from the seller or the manufacturer. They sent an email promising a $75 refund, but guess what? Nothing ever came through. Super frustrating!
