First impression of the Samsung QLED Q64C
I notice the thin design on 2 leg stands right away. There's enough room for a soundbar between these adjustable leg stands. The TV includes the minimalist design Solar One Remote, just like the other Samsung televisions. The remote charges itself with daylight and artificial light. Thanks to this, batteries are no longer necessary.
Bright and sharp images
The Q64C has a bright and colorful 4K QLED screen. A QLED screen is known for the accurate display of different color tones. I notice this when I watch a documentary about nature. On the TV, I see various bright shades of green from the trees stand out brightly against the dark green, deep water. The Q64C has a peak brightness of 1000 nits, which is the lowest brightness in the entire Samsung QLED series from 2023. This peak brightness still displays colorful images in a vibrant and realistic way.
Rich contrast and good viewing angle
The Q64C displays a strong contrast thanks to the Dual LED technology by Samsung. I notice this when I watch images of the ocean. The deep water is very dark in contrast to the clear water. The Dual LED technology doesn't just offer a strong contrast, but also a good viewing angle. When I watch TV from an angle, the images of the sea remain clearly visible. The colors become slightly duller when I'm in the corner though.
Regular sound
The Q64C has Object Tracking Sound Lite. Thanks to this technology, the sound follows the movements on the screen. For example, I hear the sound go from left to right, just like the boat on the screen. The sound is good for watching regular television shows. For a room-filling and immersive sound, you should connect an external soundbar and possibly a subwoofer. The Q-Symphony technology combines the sound of your TV with a soundbar for a room-filling listening experience.
Convenient to use
The Q64C includes the useful Solar One Remote. This remote only has a few buttons, which makes it very clear. With one press of a button, you can open the screen-filling smart menu. Here, you'll find all your favorite apps like Netflix, YouTube, and Spotify. The useful smart menu knows what you like to watch and will list this content for you. That way, you can quickly navigate through the smart menu and you'll always find something fun to watch. You can also use the useful 'smart buttons' on the remote to navigate to apps like Disney+ and Amazon Prime quickly.
Conclusion
The Samsung QLED Q64C is the starter model from the 2023 QLED series. Thanks to the QLED screen, you can enjoy colorful and high-contrast images in sharp 4K resolution. The sound isn't overwhelming, but is good enough for watching regular TV shows. You notice the Q64C is the most minimalist QLED TV. For smoother images and a better color representation, you should choose a better QLED model.
