Samsung QN65Q60DAFXZC
The Samsung QN65Q60DAFXZC and TCL 65C72K are both 65-inch 4K QLED smart TVs, but they target very different buyers. Samsung focuses on a refined smart TV experience with its Tizen platform, Quantum HDR processing, and sleek Air Slim design. TCL, on the other hand, delivers flagship-level hardware with a QD-Mini LED panel, significantly higher brightness, a 144Hz refresh rate, Dolby Vision IQ, and a powerful ONKYO speaker system. If picture performance, gaming, and cinematic viewing are priorities, the TCL offers considerably stronger specifications, while Samsung remains a reliable choice for users who value brand familiarity and a polished smart ecosystem.
Verdict
The TCL 65C72K is the stronger overall TV thanks to its Mini LED backlighting, 144Hz refresh rate, Dolby Vision IQ support, up to 2600 nits peak brightness, and 60W ONKYO audio system. It is the better choice for gamers, movie enthusiasts, and users seeking premium picture quality.
The Samsung QN65Q60DAFXZC remains a solid option for casual TV viewing and users invested in Samsung's smart ecosystem, but it cannot match TCL's display and gaming capabilities.
