Samsung Q8C 4K TV Review

Описание: TVs are so much more than the 'boob tubes' of days gone by. TVs are our portal to the world; and they've evolved well beyond ugly black holes that required you to decorate entire rooms around them. Today's TVs are thinner than ever, slim and look a lot more like paintings than giant pieces of electronics and circuitry.

Take the 65" Samsung Q8C QLED TV that recently arrived, along with a companion Samsung Sound+ Sound bar (HW-MS650), at my home for testing and review. This review will focus on the TV but the sound bar review can be found here on the channel and at www.Blog.BestBuy.ca

Right out of the box the TV is massive, and impossibly thin. I've seen ultra thin TVs before but it's a whole different ballgame seeing how one slips seamlessly in your home.

The sound bar is designed to work with the TV. Both of these items can be placed on furniture or anchored to the wall on special mounts, depending on your decor needs.

I got a chance to live with this powerhouse set up for a couple weeks to get the full Samsung home theatre experience.

The tv is 4K or Ultra high definition; that means sharper resolution, a crisper more deatilled picture that's 4 times better than an HD TV. It's not easy to replicate 4K TV on an HD camera or what yo'll see on your computer so bear with me.. and if you want to see what it's really like, pop over to a best buy store.

It's also got HDR for improved colour support and better light; what does that mean? in tis TV you'll get a lot more subtlety of colour, bright areas will be more realistic and not glaring, while dark and shadowy spots will show much more detail.

Set up for the TV was ultra easy. Setting up the TV was easy; the most time consuming part was assembling the weighty stand the Q8C sits on. You basically turn the TV on, pair the remote, connect to your home's wifi and you're ready to go in minutes. I was very happy with how quick and easy it was .

There's another unusual element to this TV too; the Samsung One Connect box. This peripheral box is meant to sit out of the way of the TV and be a hub for you to more easily plug in and access peripherals like DVD players, streaming boxes and gaming consoles. T

The One Connect box connects to the back of the TV with an ultra thin cord that loops through a yo-yo shaped dongle that keeps the cord (there's seven feet of it!) neat and tidy.

Some might find the box annoying; after all if you wall mount the TV, where are you supposed to put the box? Samsung recommends you put it in a cabinet out of the way (and you can get pretty far with seven feet of cord), or use velcro strips to attach it to the back of the TV or the wall behind it.
