The famous electronics manufacturer Samsung has been consistent in producing excellent television. From curved, UHD, OLED, and QLED, they, again and again, amaze us with their picture quality. Today, we are going to review the QN43Q6DAAFXZA model, the entry-level QLED TV, which has proven to us that we can get a QLED TV at a more competitive price.
Keep in mind though, this will not be the best QLED TV on the market, but its image quality proves that you don’t have to spend more to enjoy your movies on a QLED screen.
Design
Almost similar to other Samsung TVs line-ups, this 43-inch TV screen is surrounded by a 3-bezel-less bezel type, which is hardly noticeable. The AirSlim design gives this television an even slimmer look. And the QLED panel looks more expensive whenever you observe it. If you prefer a smaller screen, check out this 32-inch.
Then there are the well-built legs that support the screen in place, following Samsung’s TVs design, slim and elegant panel.

I love the fact that this QLED TV has the Quantum Dot technology, which turns light into breathtaking color at any brightness setting. You will get the benefit of this technology, especially when you watch 4k movies. The QLED 4K feature improves the color and picture quality. Plus this QN43Q6DAAFXZA has many picture setting you can choose from to your liking, you will see the difference between QLED 4K and a regular 4K TV after seeing pictures on this TV screen.
Moreover, there is an ambient mode, which can make your TV more like artwork rather than cold blank TV.
“Smart” Features
This QN43Q6DAAFXZA is SmartThings app compatible, meaning you can easily control your other smart home devices, like Amazon’s Echo and its Alexa app.
For the remote control, this television comes with a SolarCell remote, precisely the TM2180E remote control. It’s a voice-activated remote, which means you can control your other devices like the soundbar, cable box, and even the setting of the TV.
With the Bixby app, you can ask your TV to show the brightness setting, it will bring you to the setting without even accessing the Menu setting. It’s a great remote.

With this television, you can also mirror the screen with your mobile phone, or even play games and stream movies using your PC or phone. This is a big plus feature.
Summary
When it comes to high-quality pictures and colors, Samsung’s magical quantum dots can perform better than the regular 4K TVs. In addition, the AirSlim design and loaded smart features also set it apart from the competitors.
