If you're on a tight budget, the Samsung N5200 is more wallet-friendly, but keep in mind that its picture quality is poor across different types of content, including sports and movies, and it doesn't perform well in bright rooms. On the other hand, the Samsung Q60C, while more expensive, offers fair overall picture quality, better motion processing for sports, and superior color reproduction. It is also a newer model with enhanced features like voice commands, and it supports high dynamic range content formats like HDR10+ and HLG, making it a more future-proof choice if you're planning to watch HDR content. However, both TVs have a limited viewing angle, which could be a concern if you often watch TV from side seats. Give Feedback
