Consumer Reports
This 65-inch 4K smart TV from Samsung, in its top regular QLED series below its top-tier Neo QLED models, delivers very good overall picture quality and an effective HDR experience. (Samsung TVs support the HDR10, HDR10+, and HLG HDR formats.) It also has a wider-than-average viewing angle, and very good sound. (It has a 2.2.2-channel speaker system.) Though this set has a full-array local backlight with local dimming, models in this series lack the Mini LED backlights found in the Neo QLED sets, which can help minimize halos on brighter objects displayed against a darker background.This set has Samsung's Tizen smart TV system, with Bixby, Google Assistant, and Amazon Alexa voice control assistants built in. The TV supports AirPlay 2, but so far not Apple HomeKit. As part of a Tizen update, Samsung is switching from a row of apps on a bottom bar to a full-screen home screen. The TV comes with the company's solar-powered remote control that can recharge using the basic indoor lights in your home.
