The Samsung model usually costs more but offers some improvements in terms of sunlight reflection handling and sound quality. If budget is less of a concern and you value these features, you may find the Samsung Q80B to be a better fit for your needs. Give Feedback

Tom's guide
Matthew Murray | February 2023
"For most people its picture, sound, and price make it a midrange TV worth considering. HDR brightness was generally exceptional. Its viewing angles are shockingly good, among the very best we’ve seen recently from any non-OLED TV. For gamers input lag isn’t too shabby."
