Samsung U8000H 65" Crystal UHD 4K TV vs TCL S4 65" 4K Roku TV

The Samsung U8000H is the better TV for picture quality and gaming: it adds HDR10+ and HLG, a Tizen platform with Samsung Gaming Hub, and Bluetooth 5.3. The TCL S4 wins on ports and voice control, with 4 HDMI inputs and support for Alexa, Google Assistant and Siri through Roku. Both are 60 Hz LED sets without local dimming, so neither is a big step up for dark-room movie viewing. Samsung's durability reputation and the U8000H's higher rating from fewer owners point to Samsung for long-term reliability; TCL's much larger review base is broadly positive but more mixed.

  • Choose the Samsung U8000H if you want the stronger HDR formats, a console-free gaming hub and Bluetooth for headphones.
  • Choose the TCL S4 if you need four HDMI ports, Roku's simple interface and hands-free voice control through Alexa, Google or Siri.

Questions and answers

Which is better for gaming?
The Samsung U8000H. It has Samsung Gaming Hub for cloud gaming and Bluetooth for wireless headsets. Both are 60 Hz, so neither suits high-frame-rate console play.
Which has better picture quality?
The Samsung, mainly because of HDR10+ and HLG support and Samsung's stronger processing. Neither set has local dimming, so black levels are similar in a dark room.
Which is easier to use?
The TCL S4. Roku's home screen is simple and its remote has few buttons with one-touch app shortcuts. Tizen is also easy but busier.
Which lasts longer?
Samsung is the brand most often rated first for durability, and the U8000H's owner rating is slightly higher. TCL's S4 has far more reviews and a good but slightly lower average.
Is the Samsung worth stepping up to?
Yes if you care about HDR formats, Bluetooth or cloud gaming. If you mainly need extra HDMI ports and voice control, the TCL covers that.
Do either support voice control?
Both do. The Samsung has Bixby and Alexa built in. The TCL works with Alexa, Google Assistant and Siri through Roku.
