If you're on a budget and looking for a basic TV, the Samsung N5300 might be a suitable option as it is less expensive than the Q60B. However, the Q60B offers better overall picture quality, better performance in bright rooms, and has newer features like support for high dynamic range (HDR) content, which can provide richer colors and more detail in supported shows and movies. The Q60B also has a better color range and more HDMI ports, making it more suitable for modern gaming consoles and other devices. If you're planning to watch movies, sports, or use the TV in a brightly lit room, the higher investment in the Q60B could be justified. However, if your primary concern is cost and you're content with basic functionality, the N5300 might be the better choice. Keep in mind that neither model is particularly well-suited for gaming due to poor input lag and response times. Give Feedback

CNET
David Katzmaier | June 2022
"Samsung's 2022 QLED workhorse shines in bright rooms and with HDR. The Samsung Q60B stands out from the slew of entry-level TVs with an ultra-thin frame, a skinny profile from the side and even narrow stand legs. The Q60B is a very good bright-room TV, and my subjective impression of its ample light output was proven by measurements."
