Consumer Reports
This 55-inch 2022 4K smart TV from Samsung is a mid-tier Neo QLED model that combines Mini LED backlights with local dimming and quantum dots. It's a very bright, high-performing set, among the best LCD-based TVs you can buy thanks to top-notch overall picture quality and very effective HDR performance, among the best we’ve seen. (Samsung TVs support the HDR10, HDR10+, and HLG HDR formats.) It also has a wider-than-average viewing angle, and very good sound. (It has a 4.2.2-channel speaker system with support for Dolby Atmos.)This set has Samsung’s Tizen smart TV system, with Bixby, Google Assistant, and Amazon Alexa voice control assistants built in. The set supports AirPlay 2, but so far not Apple HomeKit. As part of a Tizen update, Samsung is switching from the bottom bar to a full-screen home screen. It also has an ATSC 3.0 tuner for receiving new Next-Gen over-the-air T V signals when they become available in your area. The TV comes with the company’s solar-powered remote control that can recharge using the basic indoor lights in your home.
