If you prefer a TV with slightly better picture quality for movies and better performance for news, talk shows, and animation, the Samsung Q60B could be a more suitable option for you, although it comes at a higher price. On the other hand, if you're looking for a more affordable TV that offers better gaming performance, the TCL Q6 might be a better fit. The TCL Q6 also has broader HDR format support, including both Dolby Vision and HDR10+, which the Samsung Q60B lacks. Both TVs are not ideal for very bright rooms but the TCL Q6 does have a slight edge in this aspect. Keep in mind that both are LCD TVs with a limited viewing angle, so they might not be the best choice if you often watch from the side. Give Feedback

The Samsung Q60B (LCD) is only fair for movies & TV, while the TCL Q6 (LCD) is poor.
The Samsung Q60B offers better contrast and black uniformity for movies and cinematic TV which are very important for picture quality, while the TCL Q6 struggles with these aspects, resulting in a poorer viewing experience. Additionally, the Samsung has better colors out of the box, color volume, and gray uniformity which contribute to a more vibrant and consistent image compared to the TCL Q6 which performs poorly in these somewhat important areas.

The Samsung Q60B (LCD) is good for news, talk, & other TV, while the TCL Q6 (LCD) is only fair.
The Samsung Q60B excels in upscaling lower resolution content and reproducing colors right out of the box, making it more suitable for watching news, talk shows, and other standard definition TV programs. On the other hand, the TCL Q6 is considered only fair in these areas, which could detract from the viewing experience when it comes to standard TV content.

The Samsung Q60B (LCD) and TCL Q6 (LCD) are both only fair for sports.
The Samsung Q60B has poor motion processing, making it less ideal for fast-paced sports, and both it and the TCL Q6 struggle with reflections which could be problematic in bright rooms; the TCL Q6 additionally has fair response time which might not handle fast-moving sports as smoothly as other models. Viewing angles are similar and fairly limited on both TVs, meaning the picture quality will decrease when viewed from the side, which is worth considering if you often watch sports with a group spread around the room.

The TCL Q6 (LCD) and Samsung Q60B (LCD) are both poor for gaming.
The Samsung Q60B and TCL Q6 both have poor response times, which means there can be noticeable delay and blur in fast-moving scenes, not ideal for gaming that requires quick reflexes. Additionally, despite their capability of low input lag which benefits gaming responsiveness, their refresh rates are limited to 60Hz, restricting the smoothness of gameplay particularly in high-paced games.

The TCL Q6 (LCD) and Samsung Q60B (LCD) are both good for bright room.
The Samsung Q60B is better for bright rooms since it combines very good SDR Brightness with fair reflection handling, which helps maintain picture quality in well-lit environments. In comparison, the TCL Q6 also offers very good SDR Brightness but struggles more with reflections, making it less optimal than the Samsung in very bright rooms.

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."

"If you’re looking for a good overall viewing experience without spending a lot, the TCL Q6 fits the bill. With its good color reproduction, the image on the screen will do just fine, especially for HDR content."

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.
