Our Verdict
Samsung Q60C [Q60, Q60CD] QLED
Samsung Q60D
The Samsung Q60C and the Samsung Q60D are essentially the same TV with one difference: the Q60D gets brighter when watching movies or playing games in HDR, so highlights stand out more on it, leading to a more impactful HDR experience. The Q60D also has a faster response time, but it's still slow overall, so fast motion is still blurry.
