Our Verdict
Samsung TU7000
TCL 6 Series/R655 2022 QLED
The TCL 6 Series/R655 2022 QLED is better than the Samsung TU7000. Blacks are deeper on the TCL due to its better contrast and a very effective local dimming feature, so it’s better suited for a dark room. The TCL gets significantly brighter in SDR, so it overcomes glare much better in a bright room. The TCL also gets a lot brighter in HDR, supports a wider color gamut, and has much better color volume, so colors in HDR content are more vibrant and lifelike, and highlights pop a lot more than they do on the Samsung. When it comes to gaming, the TCL is much better due to its quicker response time, HDMI 2.1 bandwidth, up to 4k @ 144Hz, and VRR support.
