We can enjoy a different style from what is used to seeing. A notable point is its size, which tends to fit better in any location, especially for medium-sized rooms .<\/p>\n<p>We are only going to find it in black,\u00a0which fascinates us because of the great presence that this television manages to exploit\u00a0.\u00a0The best of all is that regardless of the angle from which it is viewed, the exposed beauty will be maintained.\u00a0Another positive detail is that the front shows us some thin bezels that generate greater elegance.<\/p>\n<p>Likewise, this allows us that the content that is reproduced has a better relationship with the dimensions of the screen.\u00a0The advantage is that a useful screen area of \u200b\u200balmost 94% is achieved\u00a0.\u00a0The rear view maintains the fine aspect that stands out from this model, and as a recommendation we can tell you that it is best to place it directly on the wall.<\/p>\n<h3>Connectivity<\/h3>\n<p>We have a simple connectivity that adds only the necessary connectors, this gives us a cleaner view at the rear.\u00a0Among the most notorious connections we have three\u00a0HDMI 2.0\u00a0inputs\u00a0that end up being the busiest, since they allow us to connect an interesting variety of external devices.\u00a0Likewise, there are two\u00a0USB 2.0 ports\u00a0with the possibility to record content,\u00a0although the transmission is slow due to the version\u00a0.<\/p>\n<p>Another option that we are going to occupy is its satellite input, likewise, an interesting variety of tuners are included that you can know in the specifications table above.\u00a0We also have an\u00a0optical audio output\u00a0and an\u00a0Ethernet\u00a0port\u00a0.\u00a0In the wireless we will not have problems and we will enjoy\u00a0Wi-Fi\u00a0for internet use, on the other hand, we include\u00a0Bluetooth\u00a0to make use of some devices without the need to connect cables.<\/p>\n<h2>Image quality and general functions of the Samsung QE50Q60A<\/h2>\n<p>The\u00a0Samsung QE50Q60A\u00a0gives us a great experience at the image level, and that is due to the good optimization that they have given to this model, in addition\u00a0to including an interesting number of technologies for its improvement\u00a0.\u00a0First of all, we find a 4K resolution that, unlike minor definitions, gives us more realistic details.<\/p>\n<p>It has a\u00a0QLED\u00a0panel\u00a0that offers a more than acceptable backlight,\u00a0obviously because it has more power than what is in the LED\u00a0.\u00a0Thanks to this we do not have the need to look for a special placement so that the television does not lose quality, especially if we are talking about very dark or bright environments that are the ones that affect the most.<\/p>\n<p>As we mentioned at the beginning of this section, we have the advantage of receiving some enhancement technologies, and one of the most attractive is\u00a0Quantum Dot,\u00a0which is responsible for reproducing 100% of the color volume so that it looks more vivid and accurate.\u00a0With the rest of the functions, a good balance will be maintained in parameters such as\u00a0contrast\u00a0,\u00a0brightness\u00a0and\u00a0saturation\u00a0.<\/p>\n<h3>Sound<\/h3>\n<p>We could say that the weakest point of the\u00a0Samsung QE50Q60AAUXXC\u00a0is its audio quality, but not necessarily because the experience is completely bad, however, it does not compare with the efficient offered in other aspects that we have already seen.\u00a0In this case we only have two speakers that give us a total power of\u00a020W\u00a0.<\/p>\n<p>This is normal within the mid-range, however, in this case we have extra help thanks to the technologies that are added, which try to offer a more immersive and clean experience.\u00a0Here we highlight the inclusion of\u00a0Dolby Digital Plus\u00a0and\u00a0Adaptive Sound\u00a0, although we also have\u00a0Surround Sound\u00a0for greater precision.<\/p>\n<h2>Samsung 50Q60A Software \/ Smart TV Review and More<\/h2>\n<div id=\"attachment_77178\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\">\n<p><a

a better optimization, therefore, the browsing speed will feel much better.\u00a0As if that were not enough, it offers us a more extensive catalog of applications than the past, yes, it maintains the most popular ones such as\u00a0Netflix\u00a0,\u00a0YouTube\u00a0,\u00a0Prime Video\u00a0and\u00a0Disney +\u00a0.<\/p>\n<p>Another interesting aspect is that it has virtual assistants that give us a better experience when using the television, since we are going to control different functions using only our voice.\u00a0For this case, three possible options are added, such as\u00a0Google Assistant\u00a0,\u00a0Amazon Alexa\u00a0and\u00a0Bixby,\u00a0three of the best options currently.<\/p>\n<p>Another important application is\u00a0Apple AirPlay 2\u00a0that allows us to transmit content with good stability from complicated devices to other televisions such as iPhone or iPad.\u00a0We have\u00a0Tap View\u00a0that automatically sends the content that we are watching from our
