I recently bought the Samsung Q70T (65" model) when the local store had a great deal as it only cost me about 950 dollars (682 GBP).
The good:
- I am very happy with my TV: It has minimal dirty screen effect and no banding (that I can see). When doing stress tests on YouTube to spot dirty screen effect and banding I have very clean results.
- It works stunningly good for the main purpose I use it: Gaming on my Series X with HDMI 2.1-port and sharp picture.
- For the low price I paid I am very happy with the performance received.
- Upon closer inspection, I have found 3 dead pixels. They are always black and does not seem to work since they don't lit up at all, hence they are "dead". That is generally bad according to many users (myself included). Although I know that this is a part of the LCD-technology and can happen to all sorts of TV-brands.
- The pixels are spread out at "good places" (one far up in the left corner, one far up in the right corner and one far down in the right corner - all of them very close to the bezels. In other words: Not in the field of view for me.
- They are only visible if I sit straight in front of them at really close range, less than 1 metre (3.2 ft) from the TV. Since the TV is quite large I sit around 2,7 metres (8,8 ft) from the TV - where they are not visible at all. One of them is also only visible when looking straight at it and changing the position makes it "dissapear".
- They are only visible when there is a very bright and static background, which I do not really count as normal use - but more of a test-environment (dead pixel finders on YouTube for example). In normal viewing/gaming from my distance they are not visible. In fact, I would probably not even have discovered them from the start if it weren't for me cleaning the set with my eyes more or less in physical contact with the TV. Would they have been red or green it would probably be worse...
I do have a couple of questions that I would love to get som inpout
- What concerns me is if these dead pixels should "spread" and increase in numbers. I do not have enough knowledge as to this could happen.
- Can dead pixels "come alive"?
- Finally - would you guys return the set? I am well within return-period since I have 30 days with the company and I just got the TV. What "scares" me to do this is that the next set might be even worse (the infamous panel-lottery). I am really sensitive do dirty screen effect as I use the TV primarly for my Xbox, and right now I feel that I could live with those pixels being dead as long as they don't spread.
