Our Verdict

Samsung Q70/Q70R QLED

Samsung Q70/Q70T QLED

The Samsung Q70/Q70T QLED directly replaces the Samsung Q70/Q70R QLED from 2019. The Q70T is a bit of a step down, as it doesn't perform as well and lacks a local dimming feature, which the Q70R has. The Q70T also has a slower response time, leading to more motion blur, and it has a significantly lower peak brightness. The Q70T doesn't feel as well-built as the Q70R, but you get eARC support on the Q70T, and it has a lower input lag.
