If you're looking for an affordable option and don't mind lower picture quality, the Samsung N5200 is budget-friendly but won't deliver the same viewing experience as a higher-end model, especially in bright rooms. On the other hand, the Samsung QN95B, while more expensive, offers significantly better overall picture quality, making it well-suited for both dark and brightly lit spaces; it's also much more capable for gaming and watching sports. If you're enthusiastic about high-quality movies and series, or you want superior sound and the latest features for HDR content, investing in the QN95B would be advisable. However, if your budget is a constraint and you generally watch content in less challenging viewing conditions, the N5200 could suffice. Give Feedback
