Which has the better picture?

Close. Both are 60Hz 4K LED panels. The Samsung adds HDR10+, which helps on HDR10+ content. The TCL lists HDR10 only in its specs, though its listing also claims Dolby Vision.

Is the Samsung worth $63 more?

Only if you want HDR10+ and Tizen. At $248.00 versus $185.00, the TCL covers the basics for less.

Which is better for gaming?

Neither has a 120Hz panel. The Samsung has Gaming Hub for cloud games without a console. The TCL's Motion Rate 240 is frame insertion, not a higher refresh rate.

Which has better sound?

The TCL. It lists Dolby Atmos and DTS Virtual:X. The Samsung lists 20W across 2.0 channels with no Atmos.

Do both fit the same wall mount?

Yes. Both use a 200 x 200mm VESA pattern.

Neither listing gives a lifespan figure. Samsung markets itself as the TV brand rated #1 in durability, but that is a brand claim, not a tested comparison.
