Samsung Q6FN/Q6/Q6F QLED 2018 Design Picture

Curved No

The design of the Samsung Q6FN is very good. Some of its features similar the stand, the dorsum, and the cable direction system resemble the college-end Q8FN. Simply like the Q8FN, the Q6FN does not come with the external One Connect box, so yous do non accept to programme for it if you decide to wall mount it. The TV is sparse with prissy borders and operates at a reasonably cool temperature. The build quality is okay but lacks those finishings that premium models have.

The stand up of the Samsung Q6F is metallic, supports the Television set well and expect very much similar the Q8FN but slightly bulkier.

Footprint of the 55" Television stand: 38.3" x nine.8"

Wall Mount VESA 200x200

The back of the Samsung Q6F 55 is plastic, and nearly identical to the Q8FN and the NU8000.

It has nice cable management planning. At that place are some grooves for guiding all of the cables either through the legs or through the lesser of the TV when wall-mounted.

Borders 0.35" (0.9 cm)

The borders are metallic with a silver finish. They are slightly thinner than the Q8FN.

Samsung Q6FN/Q6/Q6F QLED 2018 Thickness Picture

Max Thickness 2.48" (6.3 cm)

The Samsung Q6 is a thin Tv. Although it is slightly thicker than the Q8FN, it will still not protrude when wall mounted.

The build quality of the Q6 is okay. It does not have whatever gaps and feels solid. Information technology lacks the premium feeling that the Q8FN has.

Native Dissimilarity 6,203 : ane

Contrast with local dimming 6,700 : 1

The contrast of the Samsung Q6F 55 is excellent. Just like most Samsung TVs, the contrast level is high. Even with local dimming disabled the dissimilarity is fantabulous and blacks appear black in a dark room.

Note: This TV does not allow the switching off of Local Dimming from the regular carte. To take our measurements of native contrast and black uniformity we had to deactivate it through the service menu.

Local Dimming Yes

Backlight Edge

Local Dimming performance is poor, and it is very conservative. It doesn't dim areas of the screen very much, likely to reduce the corporeality of visible blooming. If you find that it bothers you, you tin set it to low equally it cannot be turned off completely from the regular carte.

Gray uniformity is decent. At l% gray, some clouding is visible and the eye of the screen is slightly brighter. Dirty screen consequence is noticeable when watching sports or playing video games. All the same, results meliorate significantly at darker shades of gray and the uniformity is much better, and near no clouding or DSE tin exist seen.

The Samsung Q6F has a poor viewing bending, typical for a VA panel. When looking at an angle one notices blacks turning gray and colors shifting, even at small angles. These results are in line with results from other QLEDs. This Boob tube is non a good option if the intended usage involves wide room seating.

Black uniformity is outstanding on the Q6F, surpassing the already skillful operation of the Q8FN. There is almost no clouding even close to the exam cross.

With LD activated the results are slightly worse every bit we can run into some clouding around the test cross surface area, but in general, they are still very expert.

Note: This TV does not let the switching off of Local Dimming from the regular menu. To accept our measurements of native dissimilarity and black uniformity we had to deactivate it through the service carte du jour .

The pre-scale out of the box settings are pretty skillful for the Q6. All-time results are with the picture manner set to Movie.

At low input levels, the epitome appears slightly dark as white is missing luminosity. Colors, however, are quite accurate, and only a little warmer due to the 6318K color temperature. The gamma is off at two.45.

Here are the white balance and gamma pictures measured with 100% windows. These perform ameliorate, every bit the local dimming cannot be disabled and affects the calibration results of smaller window sizes.

Update 04/12/2019: This TV was incorrectly measured with Brightness +two, instead of at 0. This only has a small impact on the results (slightly dimmer dark scenes below about 30 IRE) and and then we don't program to retest it.

The Q6F has a wide color gamut as information technology covers more than 90% of the DCI P3 color space and just above 67% of the Rec.2020 colour space.

It is not as wide as the Q7FN or the Q8FN and it also suffers when it comes to the representation of cyan, light-green and yellow.

It tracks the EOTF line well near up to about 700 nits or 65% of the input signal, after which some compression is taking place. This volition not exist bothersome to most people.

The PC and Game mode EOTFs practice non follow our input stimulus besides. This finer makes shadows in night scenes look slightly darker, but it shouldn't be an result for nearly people.

Excellent response time with most no overshoot. The response time is slightly slower than the Q7FN, but still excellent. At that place is a very slight move trail behind fast-moving objects, but most of the blur (equally seen in the photo in a higher place) is due to persistence.

Samsung Q6FN/Q6/Q6F QLED 2018 Backlight chart

Flicker-Free No

PWM Dimming Frequency 240 Hz

The Samsung Q6F uses PWM to dim the backlight, and at that place is visible flicker at all backlight levels. The flicker frequency is quite high at 240 Hz, but the flicker is however noticeable to some, peculiarly at low backlight levels where the backlight is off for longer periods of time.

Similar the other 2018 Samsung QLEDs, the backlight flicker varies quite a bit depending on the motion settings used, as shown here.

Min Flicker for 60 fps in Game Mode 60 Hz

The Samsung Q6 can reduce the backlight flicker every bit depression every bit threescore fps, fifty-fifty in Game Style. This results in some duplications, as seen in the photo above, but there will be less motility blur.

To enable the black frame insertion feature on the Samsung Q6FN, gear up Auto Movement Plus to Custom, and set up LED Articulate Move to On.

Like the other 2018 Samsung QLEDs, the backlight flicker varies quite a bit depending on the motion settings used, as shown here.

Motion Interpolation (30 fps) Yes

Samsung Q6FN/Q6/Q6F QLED 2018 Motion Interpolation (60 fps) Picture

Motion Interpolation (threescore fps) Yes

The Samsung Q6 can interpolate lower frame rate content up to 120 fps. Operation is similar to the other 2018 Samsung QLEDs. There are some visible artifacts in scenes with fast motion, and in some scenes when the movement gets too intense the Q6FN stops interpolating.

Interpolation is activated by setting 'Auto Motility Plus' to 'Custom'. The 'Judder Reduction' can be adjusted for low frame rate content, and the 'Blur Reduction' slider can be adjusted to help clear upward move on lx fps content.

Like the other 2018 Samsung QLEDs, the backlight flicker varies quite a bit depending on the motion settings used, as shown hither.

Update 06/05/2018: The 49" model has a lx Hz console, as such it can only interpolate equally loftier as 60 fps.

Frame Hold Fourth dimension @ 24 fps 28.8 ms

Frame Concur Fourth dimension @ sixty fps 3.8 ms

Low frame rate content like 24p Blu-rays stutters a scrap, this is mostly noticeable in broad spanning landscape scenes. If stutter bothers you lot, it tin exist reduced by enabling motion interpolation or the optional black frame insertion feature.

Judder-Complimentary 24p Yes

Judder-Free 24p via 60p Yes

Judder-Complimentary 24p via 60i Yes

Judder-Free 24p via Native Apps Yep

The Samsung Q6F 55 is effective at removing Judder from 24p content from all sources, including when sent in a 60 fps signal from a cable box. This is different from the other Samsung QLED TVs we have reviewed this year like the Q7FN and Q9FN.

To enable the Judder reduction feature, fix Motorcar Move Plus to Custom, with both sliders prepare to 0 as shown here.

Like the other 2018 Samsung QLEDs, the backlight flicker varies quite a flake depending on the movement settings used, equally shown here.

The Samsung Q6F supports FreeSync from our Xbox One S and Radeon RX 580 GPU, at 4k, 1440p and 1080p resolutions. At 1080p its range is wide plenty to support Low Frequency Bounty, thus extending its lower limit below twenty Hz; unfortunately its 4k range is a much smaller 60-48 Hz, just skilful plenty for Xbox I games that target sixty fps.

On the TV, Freesync is enabled by turning on Game Fashion and setting FreeSync to On. Game mode must exist on for VRR to work. Fifty-fifty when gear up to 'Auto', the Television receiver volition stay in game mode as long every bit Freesync is enabled. The auto function will not plough off game style when watching a movie on an Xbox 1 for case.

Update 11/05/2018: The 49" model has a sixty Hz console and does not support FreeSync.

The Samsung Q6F has first-class low input lag when in PC or Game fashion. The Q6 supports a variable refresh rate, and the 1080p input lag is extremely depression with VRR enabled, which is bully for Xbox Ane gaming.

Like the other 2018 Samsung TVs, the Q6FN tin can interpolate lower frame rate games up to lx or 120 Hz. When interpolating upwards to 60Hz (Judder Reduction -> x, Blue Reduction -> 0), there is 21.3 ms of input lag. When interpolating up to 120 Hz (Judder Reduction -> 10, Blur Reduction -> ten), there is 27.six ms of input. Both of these are still low enough for almost gamers and can be enabled to help motion appear smoother.

When the input label is gear up to 'PC' and Game mode is enabled, Game Motion Plus becomes available and the Q6FN supports a variable refresh charge per unit when continued to a compatible PC.

The frequency response is about boilerplate. LFE (low-frequency extension) is at 76Hz, which is decent. Information technology means that this TV will produce a decent amount of dial, but no thump or rumble. The response to a higher place the LFE bespeak is likewise decent, but may lack a little bit of clarity and presence for dialogs. Additionally, this TV doesn't get very loud, and doesn't have a room correction organisation either. That's why information technology wasn't able to remove the modes of our test room around 200Hz.

Differences Between Sizes And Variants

We tested the 55" (QN55Q6FN) version FA01. For the most part, nosotros expect our review to be valid for the 65" version (QN65Q6FN), 75" version (QN75Q6FN) and 82" version (QN82Q6FN). Note that larger TVs are typically more prone to uniformity issues.

The 49" model (QN49Q6FN) is non nonetheless available simply probable has a sixty Hz console as documented by the Samsung Support Page, as such some results may be slightly unlike including the move interpolation. Nosotros have besides received confirmation from a reader that the 49" Q6FN does not back up FreeSync. For the nearly part, we however wait our review to be valid.

The warehouse variant of the 2018 Q6F is known as the Q65FN. The stand is black instead of chrome, and depending on the specific warehouse model it might have a simpler remote. We don't look any other differences and our review should still be valid.

Update 09/25/2018:The Q65FN has a 4.1 sound system rather than the 2.1 arrangement constitute on the Q6FN.

If someone comes across a different blazon of panel or if their Samsung Q6FN doesn't stand for to our review, let u.s.a. know and we will update the review.
