Our Verdict
Samsung Q70D
Samsung Q7F 2025
The Samsung Q70D is noticeably better than the Samsung Q7F 2025. The most significant difference between them is peak brightness; the Q70D gets significantly brighter in HDR, so bright scenes are brighter and more vibrant. Both TVs lack the contrast necessary to deliver a truly impactful HDR experience, but the Q70D looks better overall.
