Samsung QN65LS01DAF 65"

Manufacturer: Samsung

The Samsung QN65LS01DAF is a 64.5″ QLED television built around an LED-backlit LCD panel with a 3840 x 2160 resolution and a 120Hz refresh rate. It supports HDR10, HDR10+, and HLG, and carries AMD FreeSync Premium adaptive sync for smoother motion handling. The display is coated for anti-reflection, includes an ambient light sensor, and offers 178° horizontal and vertical viewing angles, making it flexible for varied room layouts.

On the audio side, the set delivers 40W of total output through stereo speakers with Dolby Atmos, Dolby Audio, Dolby Digital, and Dolby Digital Plus support, alongside both HDMI ARC and eARC. Connectivity includes four HDMI 2.1 ports, two USB ports, one RJ45 port, Wi-Fi 5, Bluetooth 5.2, and Miracast. The built-in smart TV platform supports AirPlay, Google Assistant, Alexa, voice commands, a web browser, USB recording, sleep timer, and child lock. There is no 3.5 mm headphone jack, no external memory slot, and no front-facing camera.

Pros
  • Four HDMI 2.1 ports provide ample high-bandwidth connections for gaming consoles, streaming devices, and other sources simultaneously
  • HDR10+ and HLG support alongside a 10-bit panel capable of 1070 million colors covers a broad range of HDR content formats
  • AMD FreeSync Premium adaptive sync reduces screen tearing, which is useful when connecting a compatible gaming device
  • Both HDMI ARC and eARC are present, giving flexibility when pairing with soundbars or AV receivers that use either standard
  • The 120Hz refresh rate supports smoother motion handling for fast-moving content
  • VESA mount support and wide 178° horizontal and vertical viewing angles make placement and room layout more flexible
Cons
  • Dolby Vision is not supported, which means content mastered specifically in that format will not display as intended
  • There is no 3.5 mm headphone jack, so direct wired headphone connection to the TV is not possible
  • Wi-Fi is limited to Wi-Fi 5 with no Wi-Fi 6 support listed, which may affect wireless throughput in congested network environments
  • The remote control is not rechargeable, requiring disposable batteries
  • No external memory slot is available, limiting storage expansion options even though USB recording is supported
Who is this for?

This TV suits households looking for a large-screen 4K display that covers multiple use cases under one setup. Gamers with compatible hardware will benefit from the 120Hz refresh rate and AMD FreeSync Premium support, which together reduce tearing and improve motion smoothness. The four HDMI 2.1 ports make it well-suited for users who run several source devices simultaneously, such as consoles, streaming sticks, and Blu-ray players, without needing a switch. Users invested in smart home ecosystems built around Google Assistant or Alexa will also find the built-in voice assistant compatibility a practical fit, and the inclusion of AirPlay and HDMI eARC makes it accommodating for Apple device users and those pairing with an external audio system.

Who is this NOT for?

Users who rely on Dolby Vision for HDR content from streaming services that deliver in that format will find the lack of support a meaningful gap, as content will not render in its intended mastering. Those who prefer connecting headphones directly to the TV will be unable to do so, since there is no 3.5 mm audio output available. The TV is also less suited to users who want to expand local storage beyond USB drives, as there is no external memory slot. At just under 38 kg, it is not a practical choice for anyone expecting a lightweight or easy single-person installation, and its 279.4 mm depth means it is bulkier than thinner panel designs when wall space or shallow placement is a consideration.
