Pros
Pro The panel is curved
The main feature of the Samsung Q7C is the panel, which is curved in such a way that it feels like the screen surrounds you if you sit front and center. However, if you are not a fan of curved TVs, there is an equally-priced flat version of the Samsung Q7C called the Samsung Q7F.
Pro Good for sports
The Samsung Q7C is an excellent option for sports fans because the TV can display fast and dynamic content very clearly. This is achieved by the TV’s fast pixel response time of 8.1 ms, which almost eliminates the motion-blur effect. Each pixel can fully change its color in less than 1/100th of a second, so even fast-moving objects don't leave trails. Regarding the response time, the Samsung Q7C performs much better than the majority of its competitors.
Additionally, the Samsung Q7C is good for watching outdoor sports, like football, rugby or golf, as it has high color uniformity which results in more natural and consistent-looking sports fields.
Cons
Con Poor viewing angle
Because of its VA panel, the viewing angle of the Samsung Q7C is limited as you'll see noticeable color degradation and brightness shift if the angle between you and the panel is greater than 25 degrees. However, it's worth noting that the majority of VA panels does suffer from this issue.
Con Not suitable for crowd-watching
Unfortunately, the curved panel of the Samsung Q7C looks good only from a single spot which is located at the center of a circle made by the curve. If you need a TV that is suitable for group watching, this might not be the right option for you. However, the Samsung Q7F, a flat version of the Q7C, is available as an alternative.
