If you're looking for a better dark room performance, the Samsung CU8000 might suit you, but both TVs have poor overall picture quality and are not ideal for this setting. For gaming, neither TV excels; however, if you watch sports, the Toshiba C350LU's 'Best in Class' motion processing could provide a smoother experience compared to the Samsung's 'Very Good'. If you plan to use the TV in a bright room, both choices have poor performance, but the Toshiba offers a good viewing angle thanks to its LED IPS screen type, which might make it a better choice for rooms with wide seating arrangements. If sound is important, neither TV has great speakers, but they both support voice commands for accessibility. Reflecting on costs, the Toshiba is a budget-friendly option compared to the Samsung, which is at a lower midrange price but significantly more expensive. Give Feedback
