Samsung QE55Q83B\u00a0is one of those televisions that you can’t believe the price it has without it being an offer.\u00a0This is because, despite not being the cheapest, it has features such as full Dolby support, enviable sound power, complete and up-to-date connectivity, QLED color system… Be careful because, although it is the most remarkable, this It is not, far from it, everything that you will find in this model.<\/p>\n

Design and connectivity<\/h2>\n

This Samsung TV stands out mainly for its floating frame-type stand.\u00a0It is a\u00a0very thin trapezoidal base that is located in the center\u00a0, as we usually see on monitors.\u00a0Its color is\u00a0silver\u00a0, something that is also unconventional for TVs.\u00a0This support is attached to the panel by a thick trunk that is anchored to it in the lower area.<\/p>\n

When we have the TV with the stand on we see that\u00a0it weighs 21 kilograms and that it measures 782.3 x 1226.8 x 256.5 mm\u00a0.\u00a0This, although it may not seem like it, is robust and capable of offering\u00a0more than enough stability\u00a0for a 139 cm diagonal display.<\/p>\n

A look at the Samsung QE55Q83B<\/p>\n

And although the Samsung QE55Q83B looks perfect like this, I have to remember that you can always get rid of the support to stay with a panel, 706.1 x\u00a01226.8 x 55.9 mm and 18 kg\u00a0that you can hang if you have a\u00a0VESA of 200 x 200 mm\u00a0.\u00a0In this way you can choose at what height, exactly, to place it.\u00a0The color of the casing is\u00a0titan black,\u00a0although this can only be seen on the profile and the back, since on the front we find a design\u00a0without the four frames\u00a0.<\/p>\n

As a final detail, comment that Samsung introduces its\u00a02002 eco remote\u00a0in this model that is charged with a small solar panel or via USB.<\/p>\n

Tuning and connectivity<\/h3>\n

Samsung QE55Q83B contains a complete TV tuning system.\u00a0This gives us access to\u00a0satellite, cable and terrestrial, CI+ v1.4, HbbTV in 2.0.3 and NTSC\/PAL\/SECAM\u00a0as analog options.<\/p>\n

It has a\u00a0double antenna\u00a0system , one for C\/T2 and another for S2.\u00a0Likewise, we discovered a\u00a0slot\u00a0with which to make use of the Common Interface.<\/p>\n

The rest of the physical connectivity elements include\u00a0optical digital audio output, four HDMI 2.1 inputs, double USB port and RJ 45 Ethernet LAN\u00a0.<\/p>\n

You will also enjoy the options that are allowed by having\u00a0dual WiFI\u00a0(2.4 Direct and WiFI 5 GHz) as well as a\u00a05.2 bluetooth\u00a0system .<\/p>\n

Image quality<\/h2>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Example of the image quality that\u00a0Samsung\u00a0puts for this model<\/p>\n

For the image, the Samsung QE55Q83B works with a\u00a0VA panel\u00a0.\u00a0This has direct LED backlighting with FALD ( Full Array Local Dimming)\u00a0system and\u00a0Ultra High Definition\u00a0native resolution .\u00a0In addition, it offers\u00a0content scaling\u00a0automatically.<\/p>\n

The improvement of image quality is nourished by technologies and systems such as C\u00a0ontrast Enhancer, noise reduction, Motion Xcelerator Turbo, Dynamic Black EQ, Super Ultra Wide View, brightness sensor, low latency automatic mode, variable refresh rate , AMD FreeSync support,\u00a0Filmmaker mode\u00a0\u2026<\/p>\n

As a separate mention we have a maximum frequency of\u00a0120 Hz\u00a0and a frame interpolation worked magnificently thanks to the\u00a03800 PQI units\u00a0.<\/p>\n

Finally, know that, of course, with this television you will be able to view HDR content without loss, specifically HDR\u00a010+\u00a0and below and the classic\u00a0HLG\u00a0.<\/p>\n

Audio<\/h2>\n

Samsung QE55Q83B surprises by incorporating 60 W RMS of power, which also make up a\u00a02.2.2-channel system\u00a0, thus enjoying two speakers but also a double woofer system (simple, though).<\/p>\n

Enjoyable sound scales up to\u00a0Dolby Atmos\u00a0.\u00a0In addition, we find the\u00a0AVA system\u00a0for voice amplification, which is activated as long as it is not going to degrade its clarity.<\/p>\n

Other improvements that Samsung includes in this TV include\u00a0bluetooth sound, OTS technologies\u00a0(modifies the audio based on the results obtained by analyzing the environment),\u00a0Q-Symphony, audio preselection descriptor, Music Wall,\u00a0MultiRoom Link\u00a0for wireless connection of other audio devices\u00a0and Adaptive Sound+\u00a0.<\/p>\n

Software\/smartTV review<\/h2>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Tizen 6.5<\/p>\n

Samsung has not yet introduced its latest version of Tizen on the television, leaving it at\u00a0Tizen 6.5\u00a0, something, on the other hand, normal, since the model is from 2022.<\/p>\n

Let’s start by indicating that Samsung smart TVs have some of their own services, such as\u00a0Samsung TV+\u00a0, which has a number of channels with free content at our disposal, or\u00a0Universal Guide\u00a0, a guide so that we know what other users see.<\/p>\n

As you might expect, you have the option of having an\u00a0assistant\u00a0help you with some simple tasks and give you information when you ask.\u00a0You can choose between Alexa, from Amazon, Google Assistant or Bixby, from Samsung itself.<\/p>\n

For the rest, there are plenty of smart options with which you can spend hours and hours entertained in front of the television in multiple ways.\u00a0ConnectShare\u00a0for quick device pairing, mirroring, Paint in Picture,\u00a0USB stick\u00a0recording,\u00a0Wireless Dex support, smart and auto modes, app store, TimeShift, 360\u00ba camera and video support, web browsing, extensive accessibility options \u2026<\/p>\n
