TCL Q32L Series 40" QLED Roku TV vs Samsung 40 Inch F600F Smart TV

Buy the TCL Q32L if you want a 40-inch set with a QLED panel, Roku's interface and Apple HomeKit support. Buy the Samsung F600F if you want Samsung's Tizen platform, Object Tracking Sound Lite and Knox Security. The TCL's QLED panel and metal bezel-less frame read as more premium for the size, while the Samsung leans on software and audio processing. The TCL's 4.2 rating from 31 owners is a small sample, so treat it as a hint rather than proof.

  • Choose the TCL Q32L if you want Roku OS, a QLED panel and Apple HomeKit in a 40-inch set.

What reviewers say

TCL Q32L Series 40" QLED Roku TV

  • 4.2 / 531 ratings

Owners rate it well overall, with 4.2 out of 5 from 31 ratings. Buyers mostly praise the picture color and the Roku interface for the size and class.

What people mention
  • Picture colorPraisedOwners say the QLED panel gives noticeably richer color than the budget LED TVs they replaced.
  • Roku interfacePraisedBuyers find Roku OS quick to set up and easy to navigate, with apps and free channels in one place.
  • DesignPraisedThe thin metal bezel gets mentioned as looking more premium than the price class suggests.
  • ResolutionMixedSome owners note that 1080p is fine at 40 inches but lags the 4K sets available just above this size.

Samsung 40 Inch F600F Smart TV

Owners of Samsung's small F-series sets generally find the picture crisp for the size and the smart apps easy to use. Common complaints are modest brightness, weak built-in speakers, and a remote that feels basic.

What people mention
  • Picture qualityPraisedOwners say the Full HD picture looks sharp and colorful at this size.
  • SoundCriticisedReviewers find the built-in speakers thin and recommend a soundbar.
  • BrightnessMixedIt is fine in a dim room but washes out in bright daylight.
  • Smart platformPraisedTizen is quick to navigate and carries the major streaming apps.

Questions and answers

Which is better for a bright room?
The TCL Q32L. Its QLED panel and high-brightness backlight hold up better against window light than the Samsung's standard LED panel.
Which has the better smart TV system?
It depends on your habits. Roku on the TCL is simpler and has more free channels. Tizen on the Samsung has a broader app store and ties into Samsung's ecosystem.
Does either work with Apple Home?
Only the TCL Q32L. It supports Apple HomeKit, plus Google Home and Alexa. The Samsung F600F works with Alexa and SmartThings but not HomeKit.
Which sounds better out of the box?
The Samsung F600F. Object Tracking Sound Lite places audio around the screen and adds a virtual top channel. The TCL uses standard stereo speakers.
Which is the better step up for a bedroom?
The TCL Q32L fits a bedroom well: 40 inches, QLED color and Roku's simple interface. Pick the Samsung if you want its audio processing and Knox Security instead.
Which lasts longer?
Neither maker publishes a lifespan figure, and both are budget 40-inch sets. Build quality is close; the TCL's metal bezel-less frame feels sturdier, while the Samsung's advantage is software support.
