Full HD TVs are produced by all manufacturers, but I will consider only 2 popular brands. Samsung QN49Q6F vs TCL 49S517 – which TV is better for you? The TCL S517 series (2018) can cost you more than $ 400, and the Samsung Q6F series (2017) is a bit expensive – $ 900. Both TVs use a VA panel.
If you compare the picture quality – these models deserve 5 of 5. Image quality is fantastic. I was stunned by the contrast and black level. I have no problem viewing the screen during the day or at night or at angles. Image quality exceeds my highest expectations. There are no complaints about the picture, especially smoothing of movements is especially pleasing.
Both models are supported by the modern 4K standard. They are supported by HDR technology. This is a new experience of watching movies with a more detailed image in the shadow or with the effect of the sun highlighting. But, unfortunately, its HDR performance is still limited due to black level and peak brightness is not enough to fully display the contents of HDR 10. But it is still better than when it displays the contents of the SDR.
The sound is perfect on both devices, I had a Bose system, and I decided not to install it because the speakers on these TVs are great. Both models have built-in Wi-Fi. Samsung QN49Q6F versus TCL 49S517 has built-in Bluetooth. HDMI and USB connectors (Samsung has more HDMI inputs and USB ports) allow you to connect external drives and, judging by the feedback from customers, there are no problems with their reading.
The design of models practically does not differ from modern TV. The screen of these models is almost frameless with a matte metal stand. Stylish, thin and visually light. They look good on all sides. Both models are perfect for large rooms but I liked the design of the Samsung. Frames on the edges of the screen are extremely thin, which creates an excellent impression of a large, clean display area.
