Our Verdict
Samsung Q70/Q70R QLED
Samsung Q60/Q60T QLED
The Samsung Q70/Q70R QLED is a better TV than the Samsung Q60/Q60T QLED. The Q70R looks and feels more premium and well-made, has full-array local dimming, is better for HDR content due to its higher HDR peak brightness and slightly wider color gamut, and has a smoother smart interface. The Q70R also supports VRR, while the Q60T doesn't. On the other hand, the Q60T has more accurate colors out-of-the-box and supports Samsung's new dual-LED technology for improved contrast, though its contrast performance is similar to the Q70R.
