Youtube review , that's where the problem is .
And I assume you are talking about ABT electronics , they are an electronic shop .
You can hardly call those reviews , more like unboxing previews . The sales pitch should be obvious by now , they want to sell you those TVs.
Real TV reviewers are hard to come by thesedays as they find themselves in very difficult position .
When you say not so good things abou the TV ,  the PR of the brands don't take them nicely .

As a result you end up getting boycott from event , they will never send you anymore TV to play around .
Either that or they send you cherry picked unit to garner positive reviews while actual product being far less competent , Samsung is particularly guilty of this .

Not at the default MSRP ( 4999 ).

There are a lot of compromises behind the 2999 promotional price tag .
Looking at how many features they have removed , the Q60R is not so much different than NU7400 which can be found at cheaper price now.

Not saying the TV is bad per se , it just means the 49"  Q60R is not the affordable , dreamy, full-featured QLED TV we thought it was .

No local dimming ( which explains the mediocre brightness rating ) , no Freesync/VRR support , No 120 hz native refresh ( Not to be confused with 100 motion rate listed on Samsung's website )
Good thing is this TV probably has the best color volume out of the bunch of TV in this price range thanks to the quantum dots filter , so you still get something out of the QLED line up.

What about it at 2999? Seems like the NU8000 is going for about 500 more or so, as the newer model is coming out
