ALT What Exactly Is the Samsung QN70F?
So here’s the deal. The Samsung QN70F is what Samsung calls a “Neo QLED” TV, but with a twist. Instead of using a full array of mini-LEDs across the entire back of the screen, it uses something called Edge MiniLED backlighting. Think of it as a hybrid – it’s not quite traditional edge lighting, but it’s also not the full mini-LED experience you get on pricier models.
Basically, Samsung put a smaller number of LEDs along the bottom edge of the panel. It’s enough to give you some local dimming benefits and better contrast, but without driving the price through the roof. For someone who wants better picture quality than a basic LED TV but doesn’t want to spend a fortune, that might sound like a sweet spot.
I tested the 55‑inch model, but the TV is also available in 65‑inch, 75‑inch, and 85‑inch sizes. You might also see it at warehouse stores like Costco or Sam’s Club under the model number Samsung QN70FD – same TV, just a different label for those ret
