Our conclusion:New is better? Not in this case!

In terms of its scope, the new Samsung Q60T actually offers fewer features than its predecessor, the Q60R. This is especially noticeable in the variable refresh rateVariable Refresh Rate – synchronizes the display’s refresh rate with the output refresh rate of the graphics card and motion handlingDisplaying fast moving objects. Although the Q60T has the theoretically higher contrast and a more uniform black, these marginal improvements can’t compensate for the lack of the above mentioned features. The availability of Dolby Atmos also makes little difference.
If you find the Q60T at a good price, you can go ahead and buy. However, if you find the Q60R at a better price point, you’ll get a device at least as good.
