Choose the Samsung Q60C if you're looking for slightly better gaming performance and reliability due to its higher quality control score. It also performs slightly better in bright rooms which might be suitable if you have a lot of daylight in your viewing area. On the other hand, go for the TCL Q6 if you're on a budget but still want decent performance across movies, sports, and cartoons. It offers better black uniformity which is beneficial for dark room viewing, although it doesn't perform quite as well as the Samsung in a bright room. The TCL Q6 is also slightly better with colors out of the box. Both TVs have a similar sound quality and accessories like HDMI ports and voice commands. Neither is exceptionally well-suited for wide viewing angles. Keep in mind, the gaming and sports content viewing experience is moderately better on the Samsung, while movies and series are moderately better on the TCL. Overall, the right choice will depend on what type of content you prioritize and your room conditions. Give Feedback

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.
