Hi,
I'm looking to get a new TV for under 2K and liked the look of the Samsung 65" Q60C QLED 4K Smart TV [2023] I saw in-store today. Looking online I can now see a TV which seems really similar - Samsung 65" Q70C QLED 4K Smart TV [2023]. We'll only be watching TV and Streaming/Netflix,Prime Video etc, no gaming.
Prices (JBHIFI) - they are different prices else but just using this for comparison.
Q70C $1695
Q60C $1895
Key Differences using compare tool on JBHIFI
Refresh Rate (Hz)
Q70C - 100
Q60C - 50
Motion Rate
Q70C - 200
Q60C - 100
Dolby Digital
Q70C - Virtual Atmos
Q60C - Dolby Digital
Energy Rating
Q70C - 4
Q60C - 5.5
HDMI Inputs
Q70C - 4
Q60C - 3
Which of these is the better TV?
Thanks!

Spoiler: He suggested Q60C for watching and who's not really into gaming, Q70C because of the 100hz refresh rate
Personally I like a TV with rich black so the Q60C is good
I think the review got refresh rate and FPS mixed up. Q70C has a 100Hz Refresh Rate but can handle up to 120 FPS, but you'll never 'see' 120 FPS cause the TV can only output 100 FPS due to the refresh rate being only at 100. So I don't know why the selling point of the Q70C is 120FPS for gaming….. seems very misleading
Also I have a pet peeve about TV stats showing "Motion Rate" or their version of motion, Sony uses "Motionflow XR"….. this is just a marketing gimmick slang terminology the brand uses to push out higher numbers and trick the buyer these fancy new words make the TV amazing….
Also another pet peeve is when brands push out gaming monitors/TVs just because it has RGB lighting or looks fancy…… A gaming monitor to me is the refresh rate should be minimum 120hz, better yet 144hz.
