Switching to Bargain Hunt in standard definition (the things we do in the name of testing), the Q70R sensibly plays things fairly cautiously, resulting in colours that are a little subdued next to some, but avoid the far spikier pitfall of garish over-exuberance. Further down the lineup, you have Samsung’s QLED range. These TVs use panels with bog standard LEDs but picture performance gets a boost from the same quantum dot filter that’s incorporated into Neo QLED and QD-OLED models. When it comes to buying gadgets and technology products, particularly in the Televisions category it’s important to invest in good quality products. 65″ SAMSUNG QE65Q70BATXXU Smart 4K Ultra HD HDR QLED TV with Bixby is no exception. There are a number of reasons why quality is so important when it comes to these types of products. T: This letter represents the type of tuner. Here, T indicates it’s a twin DVB tuner; you may also see U being used, which represents a single DVB tuner. Next up – and of particular interest to PS5 and Xbox Series X owners – the Q70A’s panel has a refresh rate of 120Hz and is capable of delivering 120fps on a 4K signal. If that wasn’t enough, it’s imbued with a new feature called ‘Motion Xcelerator Turbo+’ that enhances motion clarity for incredibly smooth, crisp gameplay, plus it supports FreeSync variable refresh rate (VRR) and promises an impressively low input lag, all combining to deliver a premium next-gen gaming experience for a mid-range price. ALLM (Auto Low-Latency Mode) is also on hand to boot the TV into a low-input Game mode when next-gen consoles are connected. The catch? There’s only one HDMI 2.1 input.

Samsung has resisted the temptation to embrace HDMI 2.1, claiming the current 2.0b inputs do all that is needed of them. That might disappoint some, but the company claims the Q70 can handle 4K at up to 120Hz, dynamic metadata (HDR10+), variable refresh rate (VRR), and auto low latency mode (ALLM). The only thing missing is enhanced audio return channel (eARC), but Samsung says that will be coming via a software update by the end of the month. The QE65Q70BATXXUhas a Quantum 4K processor that makes navigating through the menus and smart features of this lovely set easy and fast as well as optimising the picture and sound to give you the best possible experience possible. Multitasking between apps, menus and settings is a breeze for the QE65Q70BATXXUas well as optimising the picture quality for omtimum viewing at all times. Stunningpicture quality, features and design make this the ultimate in TV ownership. And we, here at Electronic World, offer you this stunning QledQE65Q70BATXXU at the cheapest price available. The model numbers for 8K Neo QLEDs take the following format: QE65QN900CTXXU, while 4K options add one additional letter – QE55QN95CATXXU, for example.

The Samsung Q70 QLED is a solid mid-range model

The Samsung Q70 uses an identical smart TV platform to the other models in the QLED range, based around the Tizen-powered operating system. So you get the same launcher bar along the bottom as seen in previous years, and the useful second layer that provides easy access to other content (a feature that LG has copied on webOS this year). The Samsung Q70 QLED was released in 2019. It comes in five screen sizes—a 49-inch, 55-inch, a 65-inch, a 75-inch and an 82-inch variation. All of which are available in the US and UK. Another important factor to consider is longevity. When you buy a high-quality 65″ SAMSUNG QE65Q70BATXXU Smart 4K Ultra HD HDR QLED TV with Bixby, you’re making an investment that is likely to last longer. Cheaper products may seem like a good deal at the time, but they are often made with lower-quality materials and are not designed to last as long. This means that you may end up having to replace your device sooner, which can end up costing you more in the long run. The second set of numbers indicates the model series. The higher the number, the more premium the TV is. Three digits refer to 8K models, while two digits relate to 4K models. Samsung has tried to boost the sound quality of its TVs this year through the application of some machine learning. The result is the AI-enhanced Intelligent Sound mode that analyses the audio based on the environment and content, and the optimises it accordingly. As a result the sound has more width and depth, creating an acoustic experience that is more defined and immersive.

N signifies it’s a TV produced for the North American market, while A is for Asia and the Middle East. Samsung’s QLEDs also support FreeSync, a particular form of VRR supported by the Xbox One and some PCs. Add some useful game-enhancing picture settings and an input lag of just 16ms, and you’ve got a very tempting display for the hard-core gamers out there.

Bixby is best accessed by simply pressing the mic button on the remote. There is a near-field mic built into the TV but we’d recommend turning that off, unless you want Bixby springing into life every 10 minutes.

The company’s Neo QLEDs are more affordable despite their highly advanced panel technology. These use Mini LEDs, which are larger than Micro LEDs but significantly smaller than regular LEDs, to light their panels, along with a quantum dot filter. They’re brighter and more energy-efficient than their standard LED counterparts and feature many more local dimming zones, which helps improve contrast and overall image quality.

C: This refers to the year of manufacture. Samsung has skipped a number of letters in recent years but A indicates 2021, B 2022, and C 2023. Switching to the 1080p Blu-ray of The Hateful Eight, the Q70R remains a very satisfying performer. Again, this isn’t as bright a performance as that of the Q90R, which means the snow isn’t as crisply white, but the general balance in terms of colours and contrast is more or less the same. As is the way the image is upscaled delicately, preserving the essential filmic quality of Tarantino’s grim Western.

Plan Benefits

Detail and definition are exceptional. Edges are razor sharp without looking artificially enhanced, and every bristle of a henchman’s fabulous handlebar moustache is clearly visible. Firstly, high-quality gadgets and technology products tend to be more reliable. This means that they are less likely to break down or malfunction. When you’re relying on a product for an important task, such as work or communication, reliability is key. Investing in a high-quality 65″ SAMSUNG QE65Q70BATXXU Smart 4K Ultra HD HDR QLED TV with Bixby can give you peace of mind and help you avoid frustrating situations where your device fails you. HDR10 and HLG are nice to have, but it’s the HDR10+ support that’s most important. This HDR format enhances images by fine-tuning the brightness in each and every scene to eke out the smallest details that might otherwise be lost to dark shadows or specular highlights. And if your Q70A resides in a room with variable ambient light (as most will), the TV’s adaptive brightness can automatically adjust contrast and brightness to suit the environment, keeping your 4K HDR movies looking impactful.

Subtitles and audio description information displayed on electronic programme guide programme bannerQN: This relates to the range – QN being the company’s Neo QLED range. S represents the QD-OLED range. We often use Gravity as a test for local dimming, because the star fields and bright white space suits are a real challenge. In general the Q70 handle this difficult material well, with very little haloing, blooming or clipping. However there were a couple of occasions where the local dimming was caught out, although with the less challenging content that was rarely an issue. Unlike the Q90R, the Q70R doesn’t have a separate One Connect box to house its connections, so every cable runs into its rear, just as it does on the vast majority of non-Samsung TVs. The majority of the 2023 lineup, which includes Neo QLED, QLED, LED and QD-OLED models, is available to buy now from Samsung and various other retailers, though there may be a couple of additions to the range later in the year.
