Our Verdict

Sony BRAVIA 3

Samsung Q60D [Q60, Q60DD] QLED

The Samsung Q60D QLED and the Sony BRAVIA 3 are very similar TVs that are better than each other in different ways. The Samsung has better contrast and black uniformity, so it displays deeper blacks in a dark room. On the other hand, the Sony is the more accurate TV in SDR and HDR, and it has better image processing. The Sony also has a wider viewing angle, so it's the better option for watching TV in a group setting.
