The Samsung Q60B is a higher-end model with better picture quality and motion handling, ideal for watching movies and playing games. However, it is not the best option for very bright rooms. On the other hand, the Samsung CU7000 is more affordable with decent performance for a wide range of content, including movies and gaming, and comes with voice command features that the Q60B lacks. The CU7000 is also suitable for brightly lit rooms. Consider the Q60B for a superior viewing experience, if budget allows, or the CU7000 for a solid performance at a more budget-friendly price.

The Samsung Q60B (LCD) is only fair for movies & TV, while the Samsung CU7000 (LCD) is poor.
The Samsung Q60B provides a better experience for movies and cinematic TV than the Samsung CU7000 because it offers superior contrast and black uniformity, which are crucial for deep blacks and detailed dark scenes. While both TVs have LED VA panels with similar viewing angles, the Q60B excels with colors out of the box and color volume, resulting in more vibrant and true-to-life pictures, whereas the CU7000 falls short in these areas, compromising image quality.

The Samsung Q60B (LCD) is very good for cartoons & animation, while the Samsung CU7000 (LCD) is poor.
The Samsung Q60B excels in displaying cartoons and animation due to its excellent colors out of the box and good color gamut, providing vibrant and accurate hues right away.

The Samsung Q60B (LCD) is good for news, talk, & other TV, while the Samsung CU7000 (LCD) is only fair.
The Samsung Q60B delivers an excellent upscaling of lower-resolution content and has good SDR brightness, making it suitable for watching news and TV shows in various lighting conditions. In contrast, the Samsung CU7000 performs less impressively with fair upscaling and weaker SDR brightness, which could result in less clear viewing of standard definition content and lower visibility in well-lit rooms.

The Samsung Q60B (LCD) is good for bright room, while the Samsung CU7000 (LCD) is poor.
The Samsung Q60B is better suited for bright rooms because it has higher SDR and HDR brightness along with better handling of reflections, allowing for clearer viewing even in well-lit environments; on the other hand, the Samsung CU7000 struggles with lower brightness and reflection handling, making it less ideal for viewing in brightly lit rooms despite its acceptable contrast and color performance.

The Samsung CU7000 (LCD) and Samsung Q60B (LCD) are both only fair for sports.
The Samsung Q60B has poor response time and fair motion processing, which can affect the clarity of fast-moving sports scenes, while its fair reflexion handling and viewing angles may limit viewing flexibility in well-lit rooms or for larger groups. In contrast, the Samsung CU7000, with fair response time and poor motion processing, may not handle fast-paced action as smoothly, and similarly, its poor reflections handling and viewing angles offer no significant improvement over the Q60B for sports viewing.

Although they have very similar scores, PerfectRec considers Samsung CU7000 (LCD) to be only fair for gaming, while the Samsung Q60B (LCD) is poor.
The Samsung Q60B has a poorer response time compared to the Samsung CU7000 which can make fast-paced gaming appear blurrier, while the CU7000 offers a fair response time meaning motion will be displayed clearer. However, both TVs have top input lag performance ensuring games will react swiftly to your input without noticeable delay.

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."
