Our Verdict

Samsung Q60D [Q60, Q60DD] QLED

Samsung Q70D [Q70, Q72D] QLED

The Samsung Q70D QLED is better than the Samsung Q60D QLED in most ways. The Q70D gets brighter in SDR, so it fights more glare in a well-lit room. The Q70D also gets brighter in HDR and has better PQ EOTF tracking, so it delivers a more impactful and accurate HDR experience. The Q70D is the better gaming TV, as it has HDMI 2.1 bandwidth, 4k @ 120Hz, and VRR; it pairs much better with modern consoles. However, the Q60D has better contrast, so its blacks are deeper in a dark room.
