If you're on a tight budget, the Amazon 4-Series would save you money, but its overall picture quality, especially in bright rooms, is not as good as the Samsung Q60B. The Samsung Q60B costs more, but it excels in color reproduction and brightness, making it suitable for well-lit rooms and for viewers who enjoy vibrant visuals, like in cartoons and animations. Neither TV is particularly strong in gaming performance, so gamers might want to consider other options. The Samsung also offers better sound quality and wider viewing angles, which can be important for large gatherings or family viewing. Give Feedback

Jim Martin | May 2023
"The attraction here is that the 4-Series uses Amazon’s Fire TV interface. Picture quality is good but unexceptional. At the discounted prices, which can seemingly be had regularly, they are better value."

"Samsung's 2022 QLED workhorse shines in bright rooms and with HDR. The Samsung Q60B stands out from the slew of entry-level TVs with an ultra-thin frame, a skinny profile from the side and even narrow stand legs. The Q60B is a very good bright-room TV, and my subjective impression of its ample light output was proven by measurements."
