Our Verdict

Samsung QN800A 8k QLED

TCL 6 Series/R648 2021 8k QLED

The Samsung QN800A 8k QLED and the TCL 6 Series/R648 2021 8k QLED are both great. They have similar features with HDMI 2.1 inputs, VRR support, Mini LED backlighting, and a VA panel, but there are a few differences between them. The TCL has a better contrast ratio because the Samsung has 'Ultra Viewing Angle' technology that improves the viewing angles at the cost of the contrast. The Samsung has many more local dimming zones that improve the contrast, but the local dimming is better overall on the TCL because there's less blooming. Because of this, the TCL delivers a better HDR experience, but the Samsung still gets brighter in HDR.
