Their best models are usually found in the high range, however, lately they have paid more attention to the lower categories where they also want to compete. That is why this time we bring to the analysis the Samsung Q65B that has striking features in each section, obviously we will also talk about the negative.<\/p>\n<h2>Exterior design of the Samsung Q65B<\/h2>\n<figure id=\"attachment_148402\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-148402\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.stereoindex.com\/tech\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/Samsung-Q65B.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-148402\" src=\"https:\/\/www.stereoindex.com\/tech\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/Samsung-Q65B.jpg\" alt=\"Samsung Q65B\" width=\"1534\" height=\"900\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.stereoindex.com\/tech\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/Samsung-Q65B.jpg 1534w, https:\/\/www.stereoindex.com\/tech\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/Samsung-Q65B-800x469.jpg 800w, https:\/\/www.stereoindex.com\/tech\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/Samsung-Q65B-1080x634.jpg 1080w, https:\/\/www.stereoindex.com\/tech\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/Samsung-Q65B-770x452.jpg 770w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1534px) 100vw, 1534px\" \/><\/a><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-148402\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Samsung Q65B<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>The Samsung Q65B maintains the essence of other models that we have previously analyzed, which almost always leave a good feeling regarding design. Obviously there won&#8217;t be any drastic changes that we can mention, but we found the aesthetic appealing.<\/p>\n<p>Let&#8217;s start by talking about its dimensions, which are\u00a0644.1 x 1118.3 x 25.7 mm\u00a0on a 50-inch TV.\u00a0Here we are not adding the\u00a0VESA\u00a0support that increases the depth section a bit.\u00a0It will be correct to use in medium rooms or halls.<\/p>\n<p>The total weight will be 11.4 kilograms, being a not so heavy equipment, however, we recommend asking for help in case you want to move it from place or when installing it, since a fall can be tragic,\u00a0especially since its construction materials are not so resistant\u00a0.<\/p>\n<p>Once we have the proper placement, we will notice the good integration it offers thanks to the thin bezels that improve the presence and even generate an elegant environment that is also due to the black chassis.\u00a0Thus we have a powerful combination aesthetically.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_148401\"

integrates<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>The rear is also not far behind because its space is less bulky and allows you to enjoy a slim appearance that has always been requested in current televisions.\u00a0Thanks to\u00a0Ambient Mode\u00a0technology we have a gallery to show when the TV is idle.<\/p>\n<h3>Connectivity<\/h3>\n<p>It includes three\u00a0HDMI 2.0\u00a0inputs that are usually the most used regarding connectivity, since they allow the signal to be transmitted from consoles, computers, laptops and players.\u00a0The performance will be more than correct, in addition, to improve the experience it works with\u00a0ARC\u00a0and\u00a0ALLM\u00a0.<\/p>\n<p>It also has two\u00a0USB 2.0\u00a0ports that we can use to play videos, photos and even music from compatible external drives or memories.\u00a0Likewise, it has content recording that allows you to save your programs to watch them later.<\/p>\n<p>The rest of the physical connections will also be important, so you can check what options you have by accessing the specifications table that we leave you at the top.\u00a0In this space we have also placed those TV tuners that are compatible.<\/p>\n<p>The wireless theme stands out quite a bit unlike some models that are direct competitors, since we have\u00a0dual-band\u00a0Wi-Fi Direct .\u00a0However, the most attractive thing is the inclusion of\u00a0Bluetooth 5.2\u00a0, which improves a lot per version.\u00a0In case you want to transmit, it offers\u00a0DLNA\u00a0.<\/p>\n<h3>Image quality and functions in general of the Samsung Q65B<\/h3>\n<p>It may seem that the image of the\u00a0Samsung QE50Q65B\u00a0does not stand out much, but thanks to the optimization we have an interesting quality, although it is also due to certain details that we will analyze below.\u00a0First of all,\u00a0we are facing a television with 4K definition\u00a0.<\/p>\n<p>That derived from its power shows precise scenes, yes, we must consider that it has an\u00a0Edge LED\u00a0backlight that provides a poorly controlled local dimming, which means that the lighting does not have much balance and we will notice it in very dark and bright environments.<\/p>\n<p>Luckily, it also integrates a\u00a0VA\u00a0panel that stands out for offering higher levels of contrast and brightness, making black and white look a little purer, but not everything is positive, since this causes the colors to show less fidelity and precision. when reproducing.<\/p>\n<p>To solve this small problem we have\u00a0Quantum Dot\u00a0that creates a better range of colors.\u00a0We find other improvement functions that stand out for trying to improve essential parameters to enjoy deep scenes.\u00a0Nor does it mean that the experience will be incredible.<\/p>\n<p>There are still slight limitations that cannot be changed.\u00a0Let&#8217;s not forget that there is compatibility with\u00a0HDR10 + Adaptive\u00a0,\u00a0HLG\u00a0and\u00a0Quantum HDR\u00a0that will work as long as the content is compatible.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_148405\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-148405\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><a

id=\"caption-attachment-148405\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Samsung Q65B front and side<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<h3>Sound<\/h3>\n<p>It is surely one of the weak points and not precisely because the audio is bad, in fact, it seems acceptable and fair considering that most mid-range televisions have the same quality.\u00a0We refer to two speakers with 20W of power\u00a0.<\/p>\n<p>Which include technologies such as\u00a0Adaptive Sound\u00a0,\u00a0Dolby Digital Plus\u00a0and\u00a0OTS Lite\u00a0that provide an immersive and precise experience.\u00a0However, the problem we see today is that a lot of content is more demanding and requires a more powerful sound.<\/p>\n<h3>Analysis of the software \/ Smart TV and more notable features<\/h3>\n<p id=\"caption-attachment-95156\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">It has the recent version of Tizen that improves the experience by the improvements applied in general<\/p>\n<p>The\u00a0Samsung QE50Q65BAUXXC\u00a0includes\u00a0Tizen 6.5\u00a0, which is the most recent version, therefore, we are going to enjoy the improvements used in terms of optimization and security.\u00a0We also found a more extensive app store that adds new options.<\/p>\n<p>It offers up to three voice assistants to facilitate certain activities and enjoy better control.\u00a0Here we have\u00a0Google Assistant\u00a0,\u00a0Alexa\u00a0and\u00a0Bixby\u00a0, the latter being exclusive to Samsung.\u00a0Another attraction is that we find several exclusive functions that seek to improve the experience.<\/p>\n<p>We are going to have some gaming technologies that certainly improve the quality and precision in video games, although we have a maximum frequency of 60 Hz, however, having\u00a0Auto Motion Plus\u00a0and\u00a0Motion Xcelerator\u00a0make the fluidity improve considerably in the end.<\/p>\n<h3>Samsung Q65B: Pros and Cons<\/h3>\n<p><strong>PROS<\/strong>:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Good design<\/li>\n<li>Connectivity<\/li>\n<li>Great image
