Why you should buy the Samsung Q60D Series

Let’s not beat around the bush: The Samsung Q60D isn’t going to change the way you think about 4K LED technology. This entry-level Samsung gets bright enough to overcome glare in most cases, so you’ll be able to keep it in a room with lots of ambient lighting. Out of the box, the Q60D even delivers good color accuracy and decent contrast levels. Samsung’s picture processing and upscaling also do a solid job of enhancing lower-res sources.

As far as advanced features like local dimming and HDMI 2.1 connectivity, the Q60D comes up a bit short. But if you plan on using the TV for gaming, Samsung’s Motion Xcelerator helps to reduce motion blur when it crops up (the TV has a native 60Hz refresh rate).

You’ll also get a host of great smart TV features through Samsung’s Tizen OS platform. Access hundreds of streaming apps and free live TV stations, all from the comfort of your living room couch!

The Samsung 55-inch Q60D 4K QLED is by no means a perfect TV, but it’s a great option for those looking to save a ton of money on a mid-sized TV purchase.

While improved bass and cleaner sound are part of the package, Marshall is also making a welcome push toward repairability, allowing owners to replace several external components instead of replacing the entire speaker.

I was skeptical of clip-style open earbuds. After trying my first pair, I don’t want to go back
No pressure, no plugged-up feeling, no fatigue. After months of all-day wear, open-air audio earclips have earned a permanent spot in my routine.
Baseus Bowie MC2 earclip earbuds.

I am not what you would call an audiophile. I don't obsess over terms like LDAC and DSEE upscaling. For me, they're just another utilitarian gadget to get the job done. Somewhere along the way, however, I stopped judging earbuds purely on how they sound and started paying closer attention to how naturally they fit into an ordinary day.

So much of this category now chases bass, noise cancellation, and a spec sheet full of features that comfort has quietly become an afterthought. I recently got a chance to try the Baseus Bowie MC2, my first pair of earclip-style earbuds. It came as a revelation for me. I picked them up from Amazon at $40, so it wasn't a big hit on my wallet either. The leap of faith, I'd say, was well worth it.
