TCL Q Series QLED 4K Google TV (65") vs Samsung 65" U8000H Crystal UHD 4K TV

The TCL Q Series is the better pick for most shoppers: QLED panel, Dolby Vision and Dolby Atmos, Google TV, and a 65-inch screen. The Samsung U8000H is a plain LED set with no Dolby Vision, and its own listing gives a 50-inch screen size, so confirm the size before you buy. Reviewers rate the TCL well at 4.4 from over 15,000 ratings; the Samsung has little owner feedback to go on.

  • Choose the TCL Q Series if you want a 65-inch QLED picture with Dolby Vision and Dolby Atmos, Google TV apps and Google Assistant built in.
  • Choose the Samsung U8000H if you prefer Samsung's Tizen platform, Samsung TV Plus free channels and Gaming Hub, and you do not need Dolby Vision.

Questions and answers

Which has the better picture?
The TCL. Its QLED panel and Dolby Vision give wider color and better contrast than the Samsung's standard LED panel with HDR10 only.
Which is better for gaming?
The Samsung, if you want cloud gaming through Gaming Hub. Both are 60 Hz sets, so neither suits high-frame-rate console play.
Does the Samsung support Dolby Vision?
No. It handles standard HDR only. The TCL supports Dolby Vision and Dolby Atmos.
Which smart platform is easier to use?
Google TV on the TCL puts recommendations across your apps on one screen. Tizen on the Samsung is fast and includes Samsung TV Plus free channels.
Is the Samsung really 65 inches?
The name says 65 inches, but the spec list says 50 inches. Confirm the size with the seller before ordering.
Which lasts longer?
Neither brand publishes a lifespan figure. The TCL has far more owner ratings to judge from, which makes its track record easier to check.
