Our Verdict

Samsung DU8000

Samsung Q60D [Q60, Q60DD] QLED

The Samsung Q60D QLED is better overall than the Samsung DU8000. The Q60D has superior contrast for deeper blacks, overcomes more glare in a bright room thanks to its much higher SDR peak brightness, and provides a more impactful HDR experience due to its much better HDR brightness. Additionally, the Q60D displays a wider range of colors and does a slightly better job of upscaling low-resolution content. On the other hand, the DU8000 has a faster response time, so it displays fast motion with less blur behind it.
