The Samsung Q70R is a new mid-range LCD TV from Samsung which falls under their QLED umbrella. As such, you should be aware that this is an LCD TV which uses quantum dots as part of its structure to create wider colours and is not a new TV technology like...

No Dolby Vision compatibility, Slightly aggressive dimming / some black crush, SDR accuracy out of the box could be better, PQ EOTF tracking in Movie mode needs to be more accurate, Only 700nits peak brightness...
There is no such thing as the perfect TV and each technology and model offers different pros and cons, which may or may not suit what you are looking for. At this level of the market, there are some big differences to the flagship models with some feature...

Samsung's flagship Q90 QLED TV blew us away recently with its wider viewing angles, deeper blacks, and superior HDR images - sadly, however, not everyone can afford the flagship model. So what can Samsung offer for those wanting to experience QLED picture...
Excellent picture quality, Great HDR performance, Cutting-edge features, Comprehensive smart platform...
No Dolby Vision, No Dolby Atmos support...
The Samsung Q70 is a solid midrange model that offers a taste of QLED's potential without the higher price tag. The panel may lack the black filter and wider viewing angles of the pricier models, but it can still deliver a bright and punchy image.Moreover...

Samsung's 2017 QLED TVs were a showcase for what metallic quantum dots could do for 4K HDR TVs. And while we can all agree that those TVs were bright, bold and beautiful, they were missing some essential components that made rival sets perform even better...
Minimalist appearance, Startling color accuracy, Great for daytime viewing...
Edge-Lit VA panel, Limited viewing angles, Motion handling...
While Samsung's Q7FN is one of the better screens available this year, it's not quite the pinnacle of QLED technology - that honor is reserved for the Q9FN. The Q7FN is a great compromise between price and performance offering a bright screen, three forms...

Samsung's Q7FN is a couple of rungs down from the very top of the 2018 ladder, but still benefits from a QLED panel among other treats. Put simply, QLED is Samsung's technology that offers OLED-like colours with the high brightness levels that only LED TV...
Compared to an equivalent OLED TV, Samsung's Q7FN looks like good value. Its high brightness means HDR content looks fantastic, and you don't need to draw the curtains when it's bright and sunny.There are plenty of other benefits, too, including the separ...

The Q7 is Samsung's entry level model in their QLED range of 4K TVs and comes in two versions, the Q7F which has a flat screen and the Q7C which is curved. Although QLED isn't a new technology, it's actually an LCD panel that uses edge LED backlighting, i...
High peak brightness, Effective local dimming on SDR, Wide colour gamut, Very low input lag, Simple setup and operation, Excellent feature set, Good design and build quality...
Local dimming struggles on HDR, Narrow optimal viewing angle...
The Samsung Q7 is certainly a very capable TV and for those who are interested in buying a QLED model but find the price of the Q8 a bit steep, it makes for an ideal alternative. The Q7F has all of Samsung's usual flair, with an attractive design and a de...

Here it is, finally: the first Samsung QLED to go up against an OLED at the same size. In fact, we're really considering this, the QE55Q7F, against three OLEDs – the LG OLED55B7V, Sony KD-55A1 and Panasonic TX-55EZ952B. The LG is the real rival here, tho...

Yes—if you want a truly premium HDR experience, and don't mind paying for it.The Q7F is an extremely impressive TV, and easily one of the best HDR series to come along so far. But that functionality comes at a price. The 55-inch will set you back about $2...

Maybe—but there's a better value in one sizeThe Q7FN is a very impressive TV: it delivers roughly the same outer polish, snappy user experience, and blisteringly bright picture quality as Samsung's top-of-the-line 2018 TVs. While you're paying a lot here...

The premium end of the TV market is seriously competitive and the price tags are steep, but what you get for your money is an experience that's simply divine. Probably the best commendation I can give the Samsung Q7F 65″ QLED 4K TV is I'll be buying it. W...

The QE49Q7F has everything going for it. Unlike its larger siblings in the Samsung QLED range, there's no OLED for it to be benchmarked against (OLEDs don't currently go smaller than 55in) and, at this stage in the annual TV cycle, it's been discounted ma...

Iffy viewing angles, Can be beaten for motion, Sony rival is cheaper and more subtle...
The QE49Q7F is an excellent TV, and almost the best in class - it falls just short of the Sony KD-49XE9005 for natural nuance, motion processing and viewing angles.It responds with a significantly slicker operating system, better styling and punchier pict...

The Q7F proves that QLED is more than brazen marketing for old telly tech, and that deciding to buy a premium TV in 2017 doesn't mean buying an OLED by default. The punch and brightness on offer here is a long way above what you'd get from even the most e...

We'd all love a flagship TV - of course we would - but few can afford one and fewer still can justify buying one. But what if you could get a healthy chunk of flagship performance without spending flagship money? That's the dream isn't it? Well the Q70R m...

Average sound, Viewing angles only okay...
Those looking for a premium performance at midrange money simply have to check out the QE65Q70R. It lacks the cutting-edge specs that make the flagship Q90R so spectacular, but the Q70R's downgrades are sensibly chosen and the result is a Q90-lite perform...

For 2019 Samsung has revamped its QLED range and there are quite a few improvements and upgrades which make the new TVs better than their 2018 counterparts. Here we're testing the Q70R which is available in 49, 55, 65, 75 and 82in models. We tested the 55...
With the Q70R Samsung has given with one hand while taking away with the other. It has a direct backlight like the flagship model, instead of edge-lit as you got in 2018.But the Q70R has half the peak brightness of the Q90R which means HDR simply isn't as...

A 49in premium TV is something of a rarity. OLEDs don't go below 55in, ditto Samsung's flagship Q90R (and the Q85R and Q80R, for that matter).With the mid-level Q70R series, however, Samsung has opened up the options and is offering a 49in version. In oth...

No Dolby Vision support, Slightly exaggerated reds...
When we tested the 49in Q70R it was listed at £1249, but by the time of publication it had officially dropped to £1099.Even at its original price, this was a five-star TV, justifying the fairly hefty tag with great detail, vibrant, intense colours, palpab...
