If you are on a budget, the Samsung Q60A offers good overall picture quality, especially in bright rooms, and has decent performance for watching news or cartoon content. However, its gaming experience and performance in dark rooms are limited. On the other hand, the Samsung S95C provides superior picture quality, exceptional performance in dark rooms, outstanding gaming features with higher refresh rates, and excellent sound with Dolby Atmos support. It also has better connectivity options with its One Connect Box. If you're willing to invest more, the S95C will deliver a significantly enhanced viewing experience across all types of content, but if cost is a primary concern, the Q60A is a competent and more affordable alternative.
