The Batmanis a challenging movie for many TVs due to its numerous dark scenes.
The Samsung Q60D thrives with bright images.
In the opening crime scene, there was good shadow detail with no black crush.
Light sources, such as lamps, were balanced well within the scene’s dimly lit surroundings.
However, black levels were still better than expected and better than those of the Amazon Omni QLED.
The Samsung Q60D suffers from limited built-in sound, as heard when watchingLa La Land.
The Q60D demonstrated refined-looking textures and details.
Regardless, there was still some judder and blur present due to the TVs 60Hz panel.
The Q60Ds motion handling with movies was much better.
The 50-inch Q60D I tested came with support feet that could be height-adjusted to fit a soundbar underneath.
There was still occasional judder, but it didnt detract from the viewing experience.
Samsung Q60D review: Sound quality
The Q60D has a 2.0-channel speaker array with 20W of power.
The Q60D delivered clear dialogue during the chaotic Batmobile chase inThe Batman.
Tizen is divided into various hubs, including the useful Gaming Hub (pictured).
Other elements of the Q60Ds built-in sound were lacking.
For those looking to use the Q60D as a main TV, a soundbar is recommended.
The rear panel also has a burnished, navy finish that again gives the Q60D a premium look.
The Samsung Q60D has limited gaming features, but still performs well at 4K 60Hz.
A near bezel-less front allows nearly all of the picture to take up the screen.
The 50-inch model I tested came with height-adjustable support feet to fit a soundbar underneath.
These felt a little cheap but were very easy to install and provided sturdy enough support.

Samsung Q60D review: Smart TV & menus
The Q60D uses Samsungs Tizen smart TV platform.
Despite its lack of next-gen gaming features, the Q60Ds gaming performance is perfectly fine.
PlayingBattlefield V, shootouts and battles still felt suitably intense and switching between targets was smooth and judder-free.
Graphically, the Q60D did a solid job.
Textures were well-defined and colors had a dynamic look.
Should I buy the Samsung Q60D?
For more than casual viewing connect a soundbar.
But you will pay roughly $300 / 300 more for this step-up in quality.
It’s also very similar in price.
For 4K Blu-ray playback, I used aPanasonic DP-UB8204K Blu-ray player.
For the color gamut, I recorded the Q60D’s BT.2020 and UHDA-P3 coverage.
