In today’s comparison, we’re diving into the world of Samsung TVs, specifically the Q60B and the QN900A. On one hand, we have the Q60B, which touts its 100% Color Volume with Quantum Dot technology, promising vibrant colors even in bright rooms. It also features 4K upscaling, which is a significant upgrade for lower-resolution content.
On the other hand, the QN900A pushes boundaries with its extraordinary contrast, thanks to Mini LED and Quantum Matrix Technology Pro. This model doesn’t just stop at 4K; it offers 8K upscaling, creating a compelling case for those who want the sharpest picture possible.
So, which TV is truly worth your investment? Is the Q60B’s focus on color volume and 4K resolution enough to compete with the QN900A’s premium 8K experience and superior contrast? Let’s break down the differences and see if the extra cost of the QN900A is justified or if the Q60B holds its own in this competitive market.

Compare | System Experience Setting up the Samsung Q60B TV was surprisingly straightforward. I appreciated how effortlessly it connected to my Wi-Fi and recognized all my existing devices. The on-screen setup instructions were clear, and I was able to get everything running in no time at all. It’s nice when technology behaves as expected, and this TV certainly delivered on that front initially. Viewing Experience The picture quality is genuinely impressive. The vibrant colors and clarity make watching movies and shows a delightful experience. I love how well it showcases everything from the bright colors of a video game to the nuances of a dramatic film scene. It definitely has that wow factor that makes viewing enjoyable. However, I did notice some light bleed in darker scenes, which can be a bit distracting at times, but I think it’s a trade-off I can live with given the overall quality. Audio Experience While the sound is decent for a built-in speaker setup, I found it lacking for a truly immersive experience. I quickly realized that adding a soundbar made a significant difference. The bass and overall audio quality improved drastically, transforming my viewing experience. It’s clear that for optimal sound, a dedicated audio solution is necessary, especially for action-packed movies or gaming. Other Experience My experience with the remote has been mixed. At first, it seemed responsive, but over time, it began to act erratically—like when I press a button, it jumps multiple levels or cycles through options unexpectedly. It’s frustrating when a remote doesn’t work as intended, especially when I want to quickly adjust the volume or change the channel. Additionally, the navigation through apps can be a bit cumbersome, and I often feel like I’m fighting the interface more than enjoying my content. Conclusion Pros: There are numerous positives to this TV. The picture quality is top-notch for the price, and setting it up was a breeze. I also appreciate the variety of smart features, particularly the Samsung channels that provide free content. The TV’s sleek design fits beautifully in my living room, and it’s clear that it was engineered with aesthetics in mind. Cons: However, there are some significant drawbacks. The remote control's issues can be maddening, and the built-in sound isn’t robust enough for my liking. The interface can feel cluttered at times, and I often find myself frustrated with the navigation. Also, the necessity of an internet connection to access many features can be a hassle, especially when I just want to switch to a different input without delay. Overall Evaluation: Overall, I have a love-hate relationship with my Samsung Q60B TV. When it works well, it’s an absolute pleasure to watch, and the picture quality is a highlight. However, the remote issues, sound quality, and some interface frustrations dampen the overall experience. I still find value in this TV, but I often wonder if I made the best choice, especially with the mounting frustrations. If you’re willing to invest in additional sound equipment and can tolerate a few quirks, it’s a solid option, but I can’t help but think there might be better alternatives out there that would suit my needs more effectively. | System Experience Setting up the Samsung QN900A was a mixed bag for me. Right out of the box, my remote was completely dead, which was frustrating since I couldn't do anything without it. Thankfully, I had an old remote that worked for the initial setup. I also faced some hiccups with the Wi-Fi connection, which was pretty unreliable at times, but connecting via Ethernet resolved most of those issues. The idea of having a smaller box for all the connections was appealing, but it would have been nice if the setup process had gone more smoothly without the remote troubles. Viewing Experience When it comes to picture quality, I have to say I was genuinely blown away. The colors are vibrant, and the clarity is simply stunning. Watching nature documentaries or my favorite movies on this TV is a visual treat. It's incredible how immersive the experience becomes. The 8K content, though limited, is a game-changer when you can find it, and HDR really makes movies and games pop. It feels like the TV is pulling you into the action. Audio Experience The sound quality of the QN900A is impressive, especially considering it has a built-in sound system. I love how it creates a surround sound-like experience without needing extra speakers cluttering my space. It’s clear and full, which enhances the overall viewing experience. Occasionally, I noticed some glitches where the sound would cut out, but overall, it’s better than I expected from a TV. Other Experience While I love the picture and sound quality, my overall experience has been a rollercoaster. After just a week, I started experiencing random glitches, like bright lines appearing on the screen. Unplugging the TV seemed to be a temporary fix, but having to do that repeatedly was annoying. The customer service experience was also a hassle; getting through to someone who could help felt like a never-ending cycle of transfers and hold times. I genuinely wished for a smoother resolution process. Conclusion Pros: The pros definitely outweigh the cons for me. The picture quality is absolutely top-notch, and the sleek design makes it a stunning centerpiece in my living room. I appreciate the minimal cable clutter thanks to the box setup, and the sound quality adds to the overall cinematic experience. Plus, I love that it supports various gaming and streaming apps, which keeps my entertainment options broad. Cons: However, the cons can't be ignored. The remote issues and the occasional sound glitches are frustrating, and I feel like for such a premium TV, I shouldn’t have to deal with these problems. The customer service experience was draining, and the occasional screen glitches make me question the reliability of the unit. I genuinely want to love this TV, but these issues cast a shadow over my excitement. Overall Evaluation: In summary, the Samsung QN900A has its ups and downs. When it works flawlessly, it's truly a magnificent piece of technology that elevates my home entertainment experience. Yet, dealing with the setup issues and customer service frustrations has been disheartening. I’m hopeful that I can fully enjoy this TV without further hitches, but I’d be lying if I said I wasn’t a bit wary of its long-term reliability after everything I’ve experienced so far. |
