Our Verdict

Samsung Q80/Q80T QLED

TCL R635

The Samsung Q80/Q80T QLED is better for most uses than the TCL R635, but they both offer very good picture quality. The Samsung has HDMI 2.1 support, so it supports 4k @ 120Hz games, and its quick response time results in smoother motion. The Samsung also has wider viewing angles, but the TCL has a better contrast ratio. The TCL is slightly better for watching HDR movies because it gets much brighter, allowing it to make highlights pop in HDR.
