**New for 2018. The QN55Q6F QLED TV is Samsung’s 55-inch fifth generation of Flat Screen 4K Ultra HD TVs from Samsung. This is one of Samsung’s lowest priced line of 4K HDR equipped TVs with (Quantum Dots) QLED technology, including the QLED Q6F Series. This technology has produced the best LED TV picture Samsung has ever produced.

The Quantum Dot (QLED) technology produces a brighter picture (enhancing HDR), and Q Color™ produces more natural vivid colors (billions of shades of color). QLED also minimizes color washout when viewing from the side, for great colors that pop wherever you sit. High dynamic range (Q HDR) gives you more shadow detail, brighter whites, and more natural and realistic colors. A 4K Ultra HD TV provides 3840 x 2160 resolution, which is four times the resolution of Full HD. This allows you to sit closer to a larger TV and get the immersive movie theater experience. Most movie theaters now use a 4K projector, so in effect you will have movie theater resolution in the home.


Advanced 4K Picture Quality: The Samsung QN55Q6F 4K 55-inch LED backlit TV includes Samsung’s advanced Q Color & Contrast will give you deeper blacks and colors using quantum dot technology. The 240 Motion Rate anti-blur technology combines a native 120Hz Panel along with backlight control to provide blur free, clear motion, great for sports and fast moving action. This model is HDR-capable with QLED quantum dots, Supreme UHD Dimming, and 1000 nits peak brightness. The 4K Q HDR technology is HDR10, HDR10+, and HLG compatible.

Best of 2018 Smart-Review Commentary: For 2018, The 55-inch QN55Q6F 4K TV is one of Samsung’s best Flat LED 4K TVs and comes fully loaded. These are the fifth generation of 4K TVs from Samsung with Quantum Dots. Quantum Dots will increase brightness and give much richer colors than normal TVs, as well as deeper blacks. The new QLED technology will help prevent color washout you see in many TVs when viewing from an angle.
