Our Verdict

Samsung Q6FN/Q6/Q6F QLED 2018

Samsung RU8000

The Samsung Q6FN/Q6/Q6F QLED 2018 is a bit better than the Samsung RU8000, but it may be hard to find now. The Q6FN has an edge-lit local dimming feature, which, although it isn't very effective, it can help a bit with some content. The Q6FN can also get a lot brighter, especially with HDR content. The RU8000, on the other hand, has a faster response time and supports a 1440p @ 60Hz resolution, making it better for gaming.
