Samsung QE49Q70RAU

The model is interesting in its use of proprietary screen backlighting with QLED nanocrystals. This allows you to expand the color palette and dynamic range. According to the manufacturer, in this way it is possible to achieve the effect of realism of what is happening on the screen. It is impossible to say objectively that LCD displays are critically inferior to QLED. For example, the rating of the image of this TV by Yandex Market users is only 0.1 points higher, compared to the UE50RU7470U. But the fact that the model supports upscaling is a huge advantage over its competitor; any input image is scaled to 4K. Image enhancement technologies HDR10+, Contrast Enhancer, Supreme UHD Dimming and Direct Full Array are used. The latter allow you to unleash the capabilities of HDR by 100%, when conveying details of especially dark and light scenes. Another feature of the model is support for FreeSync technology - providing dynamic image refresh rates in games for minimal latency. And an additional bonus for gamers is the Dynamic Black Equalizer mode - improved black color, detailing of dark scenes without blur or distortion.

You don't need a LAN connection to watch 4K content online. The model supports WiFi 5 GHz - high throughput and minimal interference. True, you need a router that supports the appropriate data transfer standard.

Why do buyers choose Samsung?

Samsung is a corporation founded in South Korea at the beginning of the 20th century. Initially, the company was called “Samsung Trading Company” and was engaged in the production and supply of rice flour, sugar and dried fish products. Over the next thirty years, the company's field of activity changed several times: from the production of textiles and leather goods to the insurance business, which, however, was not as successful as food or textile production.

The company began producing primitive household appliances and electronics in 1969, after the formation of a subsidiary of Samsung Electronics. Calculators, refrigerators, washing machines, air conditioners, and televisions began to be produced under this brand. Today, the company's activities are not limited to the production of electronics, telecommunications equipment, monitors, mobile phones and liquid crystal displays: Samsung factories produce various types of semiconductors, as well as spare parts for aircraft and ships.

Samsung TVs today are firmly among the top three highest quality and most reliable TV devices, although the first black and white TVs were significantly inferior in quality to Sony TVs. As for today's market of household appliances and electronics, Samsung devices occupy just over 11.7% of this segment, bypassing its direct competitors - LG and Philips.

The advantages of Samsung TVs include high build quality, durability and an extended warranty on spare parts and components, reliability, and uninterrupted operation. Buyers choose Samsung TVs for high picture quality, excellent sound and long service life (average service life is about 10 years).

Samsung TV sizes

The diagonal size in inches reflects the size of the TV. The opinion that the largest diagonal is the best is true, but not always. The preferred screen size depends on the size of the room in which you plan to use the TV. When choosing a device as a home theater for a spacious room, it is logical to consider television receivers with the largest possible diagonal. For a miniature kitchen, a small screen is preferable.

It is believed that for comfortable viewing, the distance from the TV to the audience should be at least three times the diagonal size. This expression is true for telescopic options. In modern television models with flat displays, it is important to consider the resolution and choose the optimal distance at which the pixel structure is not visible.
