Samsung QE49Q6FNA is a 48.5 ”TV with a screen resolution of 3840 × 2160 pixels (4K UHD) and HDR10 support. Model from the mid-price range for 62.5 thousand rubles. I decided to figure out if it was possible to save money, and compared this TV with a cheaper one. TCL L50P6US (31 thousand rubles). In addition, I made a comparison with a top TV from another brand - Sony KD-49XF9005 (90 thousand rubles).
This model participates in rating of the best TVs 49 inches and in ranking of the best Smart TV TVs.
Screen
The model is equipped with a 48.5 ”(123 cm) QLED display, the screen resolution is 3840 × 2160 pixels (4K UHD). Wide aspect ratio - 16: 9. The screen refresh rate is 100 Hz. The viewing angles are fair - 178 °, when changing the angle the picture will not distort the color. The screen itself has built-in QHDR Elite technology - an improved version of the HDR10 high dynamic range brightness and contrast. In symbiosis with the QLED display, the technology guarantees excellent images in the darkest and lightest areas of the frame. The Supreme UHD Dimming technology has been implemented, which will turn off certain areas of the screen to create a darker color. Better image quality than flagship Sony KD-49XF9005.
Appearance
The TV has a good design, and thin frames on all 4 sides are almost invisible to the eye. It can stand on two base legs or it can be hung on the wall: the mount is VESA 400 × 400 mm. On the reverse side, all the necessary connectors for connecting peripherals fit into one block.
Connectors
On the reverse side, one unit includes the following input and output connectors: 4 HDMI 2.0, 2 USB, RS-232 (used to connect service equipment), Ethernet (RJ-45), Bluetooth, built-in Wi-Fi module of 802.11ac standard (5 GHz) and Miracast, optical audio output and one slot with CI + support.
Sound
Among a large number of TVs, this Samsung model has the best sound even compared to a premium TV. Sony KD-49XF9005 for 90 thousand rubles. The audio system in the QE49Q6FNA is represented by two 10W stereo speakers and a 20W subwoofer. There will be no problem with vibrating bass or rattling cabinet at high volume. It can work with Dolby Digital, but does not support DTS, which will make it difficult to search for films on the Internet, since most films on the Internet come with DTS audio tracks. There is an automatic volume leveling function.
Functions
Like other Samsung TVs, the model runs on Tizen operating system based on OS Linux. Samsung is a popular company, so it's easy to find applications and programs for its operating system. The TV supports DVB-S / T2. Samsung QE49Q6FNA does not support many multimedia formats, mostly only the most popular ones, for example, you cannot watch movies in avi or mp4 format, and mkv - no problem. DLNA will allow you to broadcast various content from a computer or smartphone to a TV screen. You can record video from your screen to an external USB storage device. The TimeShift function will allow you to control the broadcasting stream as you like - for example, rewind or pause. Some companies sell special set-top boxes separately with a monthly subscription for these functions, here it is all out of the box. There is no full-fledged voice control, but voice search is possible. The picture quality index (PQI) of this TV is 2600 Hz out of 2700 possible. Supports 360 ° VR video format, IPv6 network protocol.

Verdict
The TV shows a very decent picture quality that is comparable to Sony KD-49XF9005 for 90 thousand rubles and even surpasses its competitor in the juiciness of the picture. Another plus is the built-in subwoofer. There are no problems with vibration and rattling when sounding at low frequencies, as is the case in cheaper models, for example, in TCL L50P6US...
