Motion smoothing gives the picture the “soap opera effect,” or can make the video action look very smooth or ultraprocessed Samsung’s implementation made me feel nauseated.

All presets have motion smoothing enabled by default, which I turned off for testing. I found Movie produced the most realistic flesh tones.

The Q60T comes with four picture presets: Dynamic, Natural, Standard and Movie. It clocked a fairly short lag time of 27.8 milliseconds with our Leo Bodnar input lag tester - better than the Vizio M-Series or TCL 6 Series, but significantly slower than the Q60’s 16.3 milliseconds. The unit switched to Game mode when I plugged in my Xbox One S. Similarly, the Q60T kept pace during most of the gameplay in Call of Duty, though when riding an ATV at full speed the wheels showed some blurring - perhaps due to the 60Hz refresh rate, which is down from 120Hz on the Q60, or because of the lower processing power. When Chris Hemsworth fights a roomful of kidnappers in Extraction, the action was crisp and clean, but when he raced through the streets of Dhaka, the scenes weren’t as sharp. But it’s biggest problem is that as soon as you move too far from center, the colors quickly fade. That’s a bit lower than last year’s Q60 (99.96 percent) as well as the Vizio M-Series Quantum (99.96 percent) and TCL 6-Series Roku TV (99.92 percent), meaning the Q60T produces a few less colors than those models, but it’s not immediately noticeable.Ĭolor accuracy was also off a bit, with a Delta-E score of 2.7 that’s compared to the Q60’s 1.6 and the TCL 6 Series 1.1 (lower scores are better). However, our testing showed its color gamut at 99.72 percent of the Rec 709 color space. The TV supports HDR (high dynamic range) content, including Samsung's proprietary HDR10+ (but it doesn’t do Dolby Vision), which resulted in detailed colors on a variety of types of shows and movies. While it has less processing power and a lower refresh rate than the older Q60, the impact to picture quality was only really evident in fast chase scenes, in which I saw some blurring. The Q60T produces a sharp picture and good colors in most cases. All the ports are on the back right of the TV, which makes them difficult to access without pulling the set away from the wall - another thing to consider if you find yourself frequently swapping out devices connected to your TV.
