Our Verdict
Samsung QN85D
TCL QM751G
The TCL QM751G is better than the Samsung QN85D. The TCL has better black levels with less blooming, more vibrant colors, and better overall image processing, which gives it better picture quality overall. Both TVs have modern gaming features, but the TCL has smoother motion and supports 4k @ 144Hz.
