If you're on a tight budget and the lower price is a priority, the Amazon 4-Series could be appealing. However, keep in mind that it generally offers poor performance across different types of content and viewing conditions, and doesn't excel in any particular area. On the other hand, the Samsung Q60C, while more expensive, provides better picture quality, particularly if you enjoy sports or plan to watch content in brighter rooms. It also has more robust support for HDR formats like HDR10+ and Dolby Vision, which could enhance your viewing experience for compatible content. However, for gaming, neither TV is particularly strong, with the Samsung being slightly better. If sound is important to you, the Samsung has a modest edge with a slightly more powerful speaker system. Consider what content you watch most and where you'll be placing the TV when making your decision. Give Feedback

Jim Martin | May 2023
"The attraction here is that the 4-Series uses Amazon’s Fire TV interface. Picture quality is good but unexceptional. At the discounted prices, which can seemingly be had regularly, they are better value."
