This makes it easy to find affordably priced options but tougher to narrow down choices.
The Q60D is not an outright bad TV, by any means.
If youre looking for a better value, you might want to check competing TVs like theTCLQM7 orHisenseU7N instead.
This means that most 2024 TVs the Q60D included are heavily discounted.
Ive listed the most up-to-date sale prices of each model in the series below.
The Q60D is conveniently available in eight total sizes ranging from 32 to 85 inches.

Samsung Q60D QLED TV review: Design
One of the Q60Ds best qualities is its overall design.
With its sleek, uniform panel, the Q60D is the opposite, evoking quality and newness.
This has plenty to do with the Q60Ds modest display hardware.
There are no Mini-LEDs here, no complex array of dimming zones just garden-variety LED edge lighting.
Its a simple design whose setup is even simpler.
Theres also a USB-C port here, should you need an emergency charge.
Our benchmarks include technical and subjective tests designed to rate the sets performance.
We also use a Leo Bodnar 4K Input Lag Tester for determining the TVs gaming prowess.
This measurement determines perceptible color error with a lower number being better.
2020 gamut solid numbers for a TV in this price range.
Its peak highlight brightness is limited to around 470 nits, even in HDR.
With low dynamic range and rudimentary edge lighting, these darker scenes appear gray, flat and hazy.
The Bravia 3 also comes withDolby Vision, which the Q60D unsurprisingly does not.
There is a distinct lack of bass and some detectable distortion.
Variable Refresh Rate (VRR) isnt here, nor FreeSync or G-Sync compatibility.
For its class, the Q60Ds lack of gaming features is not that surprising.
Once again, Ive got to mention the supremely discounted TVs that sit in a class above the Q60D.
Both the QM7 and the U7N deliver a brighter overall picture and showcase HDR content more effectively.
When comparing the Q60D to a TV within its class, the calculus isnt as straightforward.
Between the two, however, my preference lies with the Bravia 3.
