Samsung 65" Class - LED - Q70 Series - 2160p - Smart - 4K UHD TV with HDR
Remote control
Stand
Batteries

Q: Trying to decide between Q60 or Q70 is the extra cost for the 70 worth it?

A: If it is worth it is entirely up to you. There are some differences that in my opinion are worth the extra 300 bucks. Edge lit vs Full Array Backlit. No local dimming on the Q60 vs Local dimming for better Contrast on the Q70. Faster processor, I saw both TV's side by side set up the same and there is definitely a huge difference in color saturation and better contrast.

Q: What is the width of the legs on the stand from inside to inside? My TV stand is 47 in. wide.

A: Measuring from the outside edge of each leg, the total span is 43.5".

Q: what is the difference between the Q70 series and the Q-8 being that the Q70 is a higher price is there a difference in the technology .

A: Q80 has Samsung’s Ultra Black Technology which is suppose to make blacks appear darker and makes the screen less reflective to external light. And does better with viewing from an angle. There is a great review and comparison on YouTube by ABT Electronics https://youtu.be/l9OlRHg_o0o. For the price and best features relevant to my family we choose the Q70 over the Q80.

Q: How is the upscaling? close to 4k quality? I watch most of my TV of comcast (1080p) cable box so upscaling in the most important feature to me.

A: The quality of the upscaling depends on the channel and program. I have Xfinity. Some of the cable channels look close to 4k but others look worse than on my 55" Vizio 1080i TV. The quality of the picture also depends on the particular program. I have found that news programs and some other shows look great but movies can be good or not so good. I have the upgraded Netflix and some of their programs look spectacular. Overall, I am reasonably satisfied with the upscaling but it is not quite as spectacular as I had hoped.

Q: I LOVE my 65" Samsung Q70R QLED TV. While my recordings of HD content from Dish local news and TV shows really POP, I have noticed that some movies on HD and Blu-ray do sometimes suffer from the soft and dreaded "Soap Opera" effect. Any resolution?

A: I do not own this TV yet, but I read in an online article about Smart TV's that in order to avoid the "sop opera" effect it is necessary to turn off the "motion smoothing." Hope this helps.

Q: What are the actual dimensions (length x width ) of this screen?

A: From the Samsung support page for QN65Q70RAFXZA : Dimensions Product Size (W x H x D) Without Stand 57.1" x 32.7" x 2.4" Product Size (W x H x D) With Stand 57.1" x 35.8" x 11.3" Stand Size (WxHxD) 2.2" x 7.9" x 11.3" Shipping Size (W x H x D)63.3" x 38" x 7.7" Screen Size 64.5" Measured Diagonally

Q: Is it worth the money to get this tv than just buying the regular 8 series for cheaper?

A: It depends what tv you are upgrading from. I have 2 Mu8000 Sammy’s from 2018 and I always felt like the dark scenes were not dark enough and the color was somewhat washed out compared to my Plasma tv. The picture was clear and the “One Remote” made it very easy to use. I just bought a q70r over the weekend and love it. The darks scenes are plasma level with the full array, and the picture is so clear, you can see every scar, pore and imperfection on peoples faces. I paid $1397 for the 65” Q70r while I could have gotten the 8 series for $997. I say yes it’s worth it. Just for comparison I bought my 65” MU8000 for $1200 in 2018.

Q: Does this tv have a black or silver edge/frame?

A: Black! In my opinion looks way better than the silver bezel in the 80 and 90

Utterly Stunning TV - Samsung Rocks!
We’ve owned Samsung TVs for years and have never been let down. We just replaced our nearly 5 year old 55” 4K (not HDR) 6 series, which served us well. But times, my how they have changed. First we wanted Apple TV and we didn’t want to buy a $200 Apple TV adapter from Apple. 2018 and 2019 Samsung TVs come with Apple TV and AirPlay II built in. Add in Quantum Dot technology with HDR and the screen resolution on the newest TV’s is simply so much better than anything we’ve ever had. We didn’t want OLED. It’s true that OLED probably has the best blacks you can get, but OLED isn’t refined enough yet IMHO. OLED won’t get as bright as a high-quality LCD. OLED also can suffer from burn-in if a static image is left on the screen too long. Sorry, but I’m not spending this much money to get a static image burned into the screen. Samsung Quantum Dot technology rivals OLED and in many ways surpasses it. It’s LCD technology on Steroids and it’s amazingly great. Enter the Samsung QN65Q70RAF. We wanted to move up to 65” and we thought we were going to buy the 65” 60RAF, but after seeing the difference between the 60R and 70R with Direct Array Backlighting (48 areas), the difference was significant enough to justify the 70R. We also looked seriously at the 65” 80RAF, but other than slightly better off axis viewing (not important to our viewing needs), we could not justify the added cost for what to us seemed a limited value over the 70R. At some point the value of diminishing returns kicks in and the 70RAF was all the TV and more for our needs. The TV is really well built. The bezels are super slim and are framed in real brushed black aluminum. The 60RAF bezels are plastic, so the 70RAF is a step up in construction. The screen employs a layer to minimize reflections from lights. The 80RAF has an even better layer than the 70RAF, but honestly, in most living rooms, the differences would be minimal. In years past Samsung included a One Box with their Q Series TV’s. The One Box let you connect one cable to back of the TV and plug in your electronics, such as receiver, DVD, Cable box, etc., to the box. The 70RAF does not include the One Box, instead you plug devices into the back of the TV. You get 4 HMDI’s, cable and optical connections, which is likely more than most anyone could need anyway. Full disclosure, we did not set the TV up ourselves, though I’m sure we could have. We chose to pay Geek Squad to deliver and set it up as well as have them reprogram our Harmony Home Hub to take full advantage of all the features this stunning TV offers. They were terrific and took a great deal of time ensuring everything was set up for the best resolution possible and ease of use. The TV comes really well boxed. I’d seen enough unboxing reviews to know Samsung took great care to ensure the TV comes out of the box in perfect condition. The metal feet (the 60 RAF has plastic feet), just slide and click firmly into place and look terrific with a slide off groove on the back foot for cable management. You can only really get one cable in each foot, but our TV is in a huge entertainment center and the feet weren’t needed to hide cables anyway. While Geek Squad did the setup, I watched carefully and it is really well thought out. There are multiple video viewing modes, and we chose Standard Mode as the best for the lighting conditions in our room. This TV get’s BRIGHT. REALLY BRIGHT. Signing into Apple TV, Amazon Prime, YouTube, etc, was so simple. We did listen to the built-in speakers for a moment, which with 40 watts and 2.1 sound is OK. But it’s really recommended to use a sound bar or better speakers to enjoy true surround sound. Ours is running through a 7.1 Channel Surround receiver system with multiple dedicated speakers. The 70RAF offers as I mentioned above, full array multi-zone dimming. This in combination with HDR provides amazing blacks, which can’t be accomplished with edge lit screens (the 60RAF is not multi-zone dimming). An LCD TV which is edge lit lights along the edges of the screen (usually the side edges), whereas multi-zone backlit TV’s such as the 70RAF have an array of LEDs directly behind the screen with 48 zones, which permits much better definition of dark and light. The difference is positively stunning! All the TV’s in Samsung’s Quantum Dot line are powered by an advanced Quantum Processor 4K Chip, which instantly upscales content to as close to 4K as possible without any unwanted effects. We’ve watched several movies weren’t filmed in 4K, but the resolution was fantastic. Throw something in 4K to this puppy and it’s beyond awe-inducing. You can see detail like you’ve never seen before and we’re coming from a TV which was 4K. This Samsung TV offers the following HDR formats: HDR 10, HLG and HDR10+. Samsung does not offer Dolby Vision, but I’m not sure I would be able to tell the difference. How about color on this TV? Simply amazing is all I can say. The 70RAF has what Samsung says is Quantum HDR 8X. It fine-tunes color and black to bring out the most realistic and vivid picture details and it does its job fantastically. With Intelligent Mode, the sound (if you use the built-in speakers) and picture adjust to match the conditions of the room. Integration with devices such as Alexa or Google Home is simple. We use Alexa and now I can just say Hey Alexa, turn the TV on or off. The remote provided by Samsung is simple enough and includes dedicated buttons for Netflix, Amazon or Hulu. It also has the Bixby voice assistant, but he doesn’t seem to understand me all that well. We use a Harmony Home Hub anyway, it does everything I could need from a single unified remote. The interface for changing apps on Samsung TV’s is powered by their Tizen Smart TV Operating System. From my perch, it’s the very best there is. It’s simple to use and very intuitive. If you want to download apps, you need a Samsung Account, which you can easily create using the Smart Things App when you set up the TV. One interesting, but I’m not sure how important it is feature, is Ambient Mode. You can use the TV screen when the TV is off to display a photo, or news, weather, time, artistic images or you can even take a photo of the surrounding area, which can be on the screen when it’s off. If you mount your TV on a wall, I can see the value in this. If your TV is in a large entertainment center like ours is, Ambient Mode may not be all that important to you. Still, it’s great it’s there and you have the option. I don’t think any other TV manufacturer offers such a feature. While we’re not gamers, I would be remiss if I didn’t mention that the 70RAF is rated as one of the absolute best T’'s for gaming. It’s the first TV with FreeSync, which reduces lag time and tearing to give you amazing gaming speed and greater visibility in the dark. Well there you have it. To say we’re simply blown away by how far TV’s have come in the last 4+ years is an understatement. We took advantage of Black Friday pricing, which makes this 65” Samsung 70RAF an even more impressive purchase. There is literally not one thing I would change about this TV and that’s mighty high praise. If you’re looking to upgrade your home TV, I suggest you get in our car and go over to your Best Buy Store right now and get this amazing Samsung TV. You’ll really be happy you did. So will your family and friends! Ps: Photos taken with iPhone 11 Pro Max. All are of a 4K broadcast directly viewing the TV and off axis. Here’s the only area where the 80RAF surpasses the 70RAF. It’s still much better than the TV we replaced as off axis viewing on this TV is solidly good.

Bright colors ! No mounting bolts included
I read other reviews warning this tv doesn’t come with tv mount bolts. I ordered a set of M8 x 45mm bolts online before buying. This tv was priced at $1200 but when I checked out on the Best Buy app I was pleasantly surprised to see it was on sale for $1050. Home delivery required waiting 4 days. They put my tv on the front porch and did not ask for a signature. The tv comes with 4 spacers to be placed thru the mounting bolts between the tv and mount plate. If you don’t use the spacers you will quickly realize like I did the bolts are too long. They won’t snug and tighten all the way down unless the spacers are used. Set up was very easy. The tv shows various screens asking you to set up devices, look for a WiFi network, etc.... The tv recognized my Directv receiver and automatically added a Directv app to the other apps listed on the bottom of the screen. The remote control is very small with no number buttons. Having no numbers is only a concern if you are using a rabbit ears antenna to watch free over the air channels. Learning to use the remote happens quickly. All functions have an app at the bottom of the screen. Input source, settings, Netflix, Hulu, YouTube etc are easily accessed by clicking on the app. The first thing I noticed is how bright the colors are compared to the 6 year old 55 inch set being replaced. 4K TVs have come a long ways in the last 6 years. You can go into settings and tweak the motion blur settings by customizing it or simply turn it off. The default setting of Auto made my iPhone movies look distorted so I turned it off which looks much better. The internet browser works great. I was able to stream our Sunday morning service with no problems. This tv plays family iPhone movie mp4 and mkv files with ease on a usb flash drive. Now I just use my iphones airplay to look at pics and movies by connecting to my tv with Bluetooth. No more copying iPhone pics to a flash drive to see them on tv ! We’ve only had this tv a short time but everyone loves it. I haven’t noticed any bad pixels or other defects. Black screens look ink black. I agree with other reviews spending more money on a Q80 or Q90 won’t get you much more quality. This Q70 has a great picture for the money. Samsung doesn’t have as many apps as Roku. You can easily add a Roku streaming stick or box if you gotta have those apps. Highly recommend this tv !!!!

Amazing
This tv looks amazing. The interface is fast and responsive. Able to keep place of shows and movies as you switch apps or turn tv on and off. Integrates with google so I can control it from anywhere in my home. 4k content looks like im watching the show being filmed live. I was actually worried about the "soup Opera" effect, but now find it memorizing to view. Only negative is Bixby is terrible! I had to turn it off because it would constantly trigger on accident and when I did try, it never could understand. Not a huge problem cause we have a JBL speaker with google integration behind our seating.
