If you prioritize a slightly better performance in bright rooms and quality control, along with better upscaling and motion processing for faster content like sports or action movies, the Samsung CU7000 may suit your needs, but be aware that it performs poorly in dark room settings. On the other hand, the Toshiba C350LU excels with colors right out of the box and has great viewing angles, making it a good fit for wide seating arrangements and colorful content like cartoons, although it tends to struggle more with reflections and overall picture quality. Consider if the Toshiba's slightly higher price is worth these tradeoffs for your viewing habits and room environment. Give Feedback
