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

Both are 65-inch 4K LED TVs at 60Hz, so the picture basics are close. The Samsung U8000H adds HDR10+ support, a brighter, more consistent panel, Tizen with Samsung TV Plus and Gaming Hub, and a stronger durability reputation. The TCL S4 gives you Roku's simple interface, four HDMI ports and a huge owner base that rates it slightly higher. Buy the Samsung for HDR content, gaming without a console and longer service life; buy the TCL for easy streaming and more inputs.

  • Choose the Samsung U8000H if you watch a lot of HDR movies, want console-free gaming through Gaming Hub, or care about build quality and brand durability.
  • Choose the TCL S4 if you want the simplest smart interface, need four HDMI inputs, and prefer Roku's channel-first home screen.

Questions and answers

Which is better for gaming?
The Samsung, mainly for Gaming Hub, which streams games without a console. Neither set has a 120Hz panel, so fast console gaming is limited on both.
Which has better HDR?
The Samsung. It supports HDR10+ and HLG, while the TCL lists HDR10 only. The gap shows most on bright highlights and dark scenes.
Which is easier to use?
The TCL. Roku's home screen puts apps and inputs up front, and its remote has far fewer buttons. Tizen is also simple but busier.
Which lasts longer?
Samsung markets itself as the top-rated TV brand for durability, and its owner rating backs that up. The TCL has a slightly higher rating from more owners, so neither is a clear long-term winner.
Do I need four HDMI ports?
Only if you connect a console, soundbar, streaming box and cable box at once. The TCL has four; the Samsung has three.
Is the Samsung worth stepping up to?
Yes if you want HDR10+, Bluetooth audio and Gaming Hub. If you mainly stream and want more inputs, the TCL covers it.
