Our Verdict
Samsung Q60D
TCL Q651G
The Samsung Q60D and the TCL Q651G are better than each other in different ways. The Samsung is the brighter TV, meaning it overcomes more glare in a bright room and displays brighter highlights in HDR. The Samsung also has better black levels, so it looks a bit better in dark rooms. However, the TCL is a bit more interesting for gamers, as it supports 1080p and 1440p @ 120Hz with VRR. The TCL also supports Dolby Vision HDR and DTS audio formats.
