Customer Ratings & Reviews

TL;DR amazing ~160PPI clarity at 4K HiDPI with native 8K @ ~60Hz VRR. Text and images look great. I've been using the Samsung Q90T 55" for years as a monitor for M1 Macs and really enjoying it. I upgraded to the QN700B 55" to take advantage of 8K with the new 2023 M2 Pro Macs just adding support. Connecting the TV right away (with a good 48Gbps 8k cable like that from Belkin) it defaulted to 4K HiDPI (UI looks like 4K but native resolution is 8K). Instantly all text and scaled images look significantly better with the higher PPI. In the short time I've been using this I've noticed reduced eye strain from clearer text alone. This doesn't come without caveats though and I'm still giving five stars because properly configured, this is the best large HiDPI "monitor" I've seen for a Mac. First is there was noticeable dithering at the static 60Hz refresh rate of 4K HiDPI 8K native. I found using game mode on the TV and choosing a Variable Refresh Rate (VRR) solved this and perfectly acceptable for my use cases. A few other notes and potential caveats that are nowhere near deal-breaker for me: * I've been spending more time on SDR and not HDR * Samsung's Smart Calibration (via iPhone) was actually impressive and created a few profiles I've been testing with * SpyderX profiles in SDR with datacolor's software were less impressive * DisplayCAL profiles were much better with the SpyderX device and have been leaning on those for testing further - using gama 2.2 only so far * Still more experimenting planned with getting the right reference point on DisplayCAL pre-calibration - R and G were too low in initial calibrations. * Tested a little more with the TV settings ** game mode is a must and haven't found a way around the dithering others have seen setting normal 60Hz refresh rate ** HDR Tone Mapping looked a little too aggressive to me, but I'll want to test more ** Dynamic Black Equalizer was a little too aggressive to me ** Local Dimming High works great for me ** Contrast Enhancer Low looks great to me ** I found setting this to Off produced some flickering in the corners of the screen for me with Local Dimming High which was definitely noticeable ** Color Space was interesting - currently running Custom as Native really blows up the Reds for me ** I might experiment more with Native and tune the white balance a bit more * There is a bit more panel glare than prior year's TOTL like the Q90T, but hasn't bothered me (yet) * Definitely a more noticeable color change depending on viewing angle like the older TN/VA panels and not as good as even the older TOTL like Q90T, but this is less important to me * So far I really enjoy clarity and reduced eye strain. That alone might justify the cost especially since I've been using a 4K 55" TV as a monitor for years now which some might consider absurd, but I've really grown to like. I'll spend more time trying to lock down the Color Profile and settings and make sure the other ergonomics work as expected (re-connecting HDMI and retaining settings, etc).

Great TV- meets all my expectations- trust me, it’s a huge step up from a TV that I’ve had for almost 10 years- I got such a great deal on this or I’m hoping it’s a great deal as I paid $1000 for it- I watched quite a bit of TCM classic movies. It makes the black-and-white just pop, and the colors are incredible. I see everything crystal clear- We watched the new Avatar movie and Black Adam and we couldn’t get over the the clarity, colors and how real they seemed- As an elderly person, next time, I will have someone put it together and set it up. It was very difficult for me to attach the heavy stand and I needed someone to help me put it up on the TV stand.

The picture is great. The remote control is sporadic, so I use an app and phone instead. Overall I am satisfied but not ecstatic about the product, but it was on sale, and therefore a good value.

I love this TV. The picture is awesome. I have had no problems with the tv. Its super light put it on wall by myself. It has the best sound I have heard from a tv, didn't even hook it up to my surround sound yet. The interface takes some getting use to. I haven't try the gaming mode yet but if it works as well as the features on tv it should be great. You can't beat it for the price.

Great tv. Picture quality is great. Easy to set up

Great tv, lovely color and a frameless look. My only reason for not giving it a 5star is samsung tv's issue with gamemode on xbox causing a black screen

Picture quality is great and physical aesthetic is great but the UI is shockingly slow compared to the same model tv I bought but two years ago.

i allways wanted a 55inch 8k tv and man this is it. great tv and deal.

I’m very happy with my new Samsung tv,very clear and bright!!

A great TV. Didn't realize how much of an improvement of my older 39"

Highly recommend this tv for 8k gaming and as a pc monitor!!

Picture is amazing! We're extremely happy with the sound!

Display is amazing with outstanding speakers to back it up. The hub is easy to use and includes over 500 channels! And it already has a built in gaming experience right there and extremely accessible.

I am very please and thanks for today I am very pleased, thank you for the geek squad. tTheTV works perfectly.

Good TV, no problems. Purchase and pick up was fine

Met my expectations, great value & quality. Samsung never disappoints.

The pixels are amazing my ps5 runs ridiculously on this tv! Its a must buy!

Great tv..........................................

I’m really disappointed with this tv… i went from a 1080p Samsung to this hoping the picture quality would be amazing compared, but honestly I feel like my 1080p had much better quality! Which is crazy… but literally no joke this tv has blurryness to edges and movement that was not there on my LCD tv… I’ve tried all the different modes, even auto calibration on the tv system, on my Xbox series X it’s all more blurry than my 1080p… I really want to return it…black levels are better and contrast is better but other than that it’s no good …
