Our Verdict

Samsung Q60C [Q60, Q60CD] QLED

Samsung Q60D [Q60, Q60DD] QLED

The Samsung Q60C QLED and the Samsung Q60D QLED are essentially the same TV with one difference: the Q60D gets brighter when watching movies or playing games in HDR, so highlights stand out more on it, leading to a more impactful HDR experience. The Q60D also has a faster response time, but it's still slow overall, so fast motion is still blurry.
