A model from the advanced QLED layers of the Samsung smart TV society, introduced in 2020. It uses a VA-panel on quantum dots with a resolution of 4K (3840x2160 pixels). An important part of the device is the Quantum HDR image processor, which provides bright and colorful images on the screen with amazing clarity. The TV display boasts a refresh rate of up to 120 Hz, wide vertical and horizontal viewing angles, a high index of elaboration of highly dynamic scenes (3400 fps), and AMD FreeSync adaptive frame rate technology.
Immerse yourself in the world of digital entertainment is offered as part of the Tizen 5.5 intelligent platform with Samsung's proprietary Smart Hub add-on. In addition, Bixby, Google Assistant and Amazon Alexa voice agents are “registered” on board the Samsung QE-55Q70TA. In terms of sound, viewers are greeted by banal 10-watt speakers. Their total sound power is enough for normal listening in a small room. For something more, you will need to equip the TV with a soundbar.
120Hz, low input lag, HDR and FreeSync
Slim, light and minimalistic, the Samsung QE-55Q70TA 55-inch TV belongs to the mid-range QLED TV lineup. Unlike younger models based on quantum dots, here we see a more versatile matrix that looks equally great in cinema mode, during sports broadcasts or video games. In the latter case, the refresh rate of 120 Hz, adequate input lag, support for HDR content and AMD FreeSync play an important role. For convenience, all gaming features can be enabled in one fell swoop by simply activating the Real Game Enhancer+ mode.
Proprietary Dual LED lighting system
I immediately want to praise the colour accuracy, right out of the box the TV shows a colorful and realistic picture. The slightly more affordable Samsung QE-55Q67R, which we recently tested, had to be manually tuned. Upscaling is also well implemented here, lower resolution video looks sharp and very high quality, and the difference between native and upscaled resolutions when playing on the Xbox Series S is barely noticeable. Especially at a three-metre distance. But the viewing angles leave much to be desired: it is better for the viewer to take a seat right in front of the screen. In this regard, competing IPS panels from LG look more profitable: although the black is not so black, the picture does not fade at an angle, so it is still more convenient to watch a movie or play in a large company. Despite not the highest contrast ratios and the lack of local dimming, the TV opens up great when playing high dynamic range video (HDR10 + is supported). Apparently, you need to thank for this proprietary Dual LED backlight system, which adjusts the brightness of the display in accordance with what is happening on the screen.
Updated Ambient Mode
The wide multimedia capabilities of the TV are revealed by the proprietary OC Tizen, which has proven itself due to its stability, speed and variety of available applications. The “smart” shell is complemented by the One Remote with various voice assistants. Other features worth highlighting are AirPlay 2 and the upgraded Ambient Mode. The latest update introduced Background modes with imitation of textures and walls in the room, an interactive photo frame and an info display. Samsung's commendable desire to fit a huge TV into the interior of the room as unobtrusively as possible. A good start for the future will be an HDMI 2.1 port with increased bandwidth.
