If you're looking for a set that performs well in bright rooms and has good upscaling for non-4K content, the Samsung Q60B is a solid choice but is generally more expensive. Conversely, the TCL Q7, which is less expensive, offers better gaming performance with a higher refresh rate and more effective local dimming for improved contrast but may not be as well-suited for wide seating arrangements due to its narrower viewing angle.

The TCL Q7 (LCD) is good for movies & TV, while the Samsung Q60B (LCD) is only fair.
The Samsung Q60B has no local dimming feature and poorer black uniformity, which impacts its ability to display true blacks and reduce the brightness of scenes that should be dark, making it less ideal for movies and cinematic TV. In contrast, the TCL Q7 has a superior local dimming feature that enhances its contrast and black uniformity, leading to better picture quality in dark scenes, which is beneficial when watching movies and cinematic content.

The TCL Q7 (LCD) is very good for gaming, while the Samsung Q60B (LCD) is poor.
The Samsung Q60B has a poorer response time than the TCL Q7 and, while it excels in input lag, the overall gaming experience benefits more significantly from a rapid response time like that of the TCL Q7, which, combined with a solid input lag performance and a higher refresh rate, is better suited for fast-paced gaming.

The Samsung Q60B (LCD) is very good for cartoons & animation, while the TCL Q7 (LCD) is good.
The Samsung Q60B excels in displaying cartoons and animation due to its excellent color accuracy straight out of the box and a good color gamut, ensuring vibrant and accurate colors. In comparison, the TCL Q7 also performs well with a good color gamut, but its colors out of the box are not as accurate as the Samsung, making it slightly less ideal for animated content where color precision is noticeable.

The Samsung Q60B (LCD) is good for news, talk, & other TV, while the TCL Q7 (LCD) is only fair.
The Samsung Q60B is better for watching news, talk shows, and other TV programs because it offers 'very good' SDR brightness and 'excellent' colors out of the box, important for clear and vibrant viewing. In contrast, the TCL Q7, while also having 'very good' SDR brightness, is considered 'fair' for colors out of the box, which might result in a less striking image quality for standard content.

The TCL Q7 (LCD) and Samsung Q60B (LCD) are both good for bright room, though the TCL Q7 (LCD) is somewhat better.
The Samsung Q60B and TCL Q7 both have very good SDR brightness, which is crucial in bright rooms; the Samsung Q60B has a slight advantage in handling reflections compared to the TCL Q7, which can be beneficial in a room with many light sources. While both TVs offer similar HDR brightness, it's worth noting that the Samsung TV's ability to handle reflections might make it a more suitable option for bright room viewing.

The Samsung Q60B (LCD) and TCL Q7 (LCD) are both only fair for sports.
The Samsung Q60B has a poor response time, which may lead to motion blur during fast-moving sports, and its viewing angle is narrow, causing the picture to look washed out from the side. On the other hand, the TCL Q7, while offering better response time, resulting in clearer motion, struggles with reflections handling, making it less ideal for rooms with many light sources, and also has a narrow viewing angle.

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."

About Samsung
Samsung, a South Korean electronics manufacturer, holds the title of being the largest global TV vendor in terms of units sold. They offer a diverse lineup of TV products that cater to various budget ranges. A notable achievement in recent years is the development of Quantum Dots, a technology that enhances color reproduction, resulting in richer and more vibrant hues. Samsung TVs are well-regarded for their high manufacturing quality and user-friendly software, making them an excellent choice for consumers seeking an intuitive viewing experience.
About TCL
TCL, the highly recognizable TV brand from China, has firmly established itself as the second-largest manufacturer in terms of sales volume. Renowned for striking an impressive balance between affordability, picture quality, and design, TCL TVs deliver a compelling overall package. While they have traditionally excelled in the low-end and midrange TV segments, TCL has recently made remarkable strides in the realm of high-end televisions, introducing impressive models that rival top competitors. Most TCL TVs use Roku software which is very user friendly and easy to use, but they have a few other models that use Google TV which has the largest app selection, but is not as user friendly as Roku.
