Our Verdict

Sony X80K/X80CK

Samsung Q60B [Q60, Q60BD] QLED

The Samsung Q60B QLED and the Sony X80K/X80CK are different types of entry-level TVs, although the Q60B is more versatile. The Samsung is better for bright and dark rooms because it gets brighter and it has a better contrast for deeper blacks. On the other hand, the Sony is better for wide seating areas because it has a wider viewing angle, and it also has better motion handling thanks to its quicker response time.
