Our Verdict

Samsung HW-B750D

TCL Q85H

The TCL Q85H is more versatile than the Samsung HW-B750D owing to its up-firing drivers that don't have to downmix Atmos content. It also supports a greater selection of audio formats than the Samsung. However, the Samsung also sounds very good out of the box with a more detailed treble response and includes a seven-band EQ to customize the sound.
