It is more expensive but provides superior picture quality, better gaming experiences, and performs better in both bright and dark rooms. If gaming or watching sports is important to you, and you want a TV that handles well-lit environments, the QN85B is a strong choice. It also has a higher refresh rate for smoother motion, which is beneficial for gaming and action content, and more HDMI ports. However, if cost is a significant factor, the Q60B is less expensive and still provides good performance for movies and general TV watching. Give Feedback

CNET

David Katzmaier | June 2022
"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."

What Hi-Fi?

John Archer | February 2023
"Particularly key to this is the fact that black levels are unusually good, on a level we haven’t seen from any IPS TV before. Build quality is impressive too, with a gleaming silver metallic frame and stand, and enough heft to suggest plenty of quality innards. High dynamic range content jumps off the screen with enough luminosity and intensity to really sell what makes HDR special."
