Samsung TU8300 vs TCL 6 Series/R646 2021 QLED

Remote control design is sleek. TV's design is nice and slim but it's heavy. You need two people to move it safely. I think I would have liked it

When you first turn it on, you have to pair the remote to the TV. The remote barely worked, I had to press the button 10 times to get it to do anything. It took me over 10 minutes to enter my email address. I even tried new batteries

Horrible remote Having owned several Samsung television sets over the years this set is the worst I have ever had barring none. I would return it in a second if I still had the box it came in. Fortunately I still have the TV I replace with the new set so I can watch channels that are constantly freezing on this set. I would advise anyone, including consumer reports to avoid purchasing Samsung TVs until they improve performance

adjustment in picture,sound, motion clarity,action smoothing, color temp took awhile..UI is easy and the remote is great, just need to get rid of the netflix,disney,hulu,and sling shortcut buttons.

The smart TV part of it is absolutely ludicrous! It’s the worst engineering I think I’ve ever seen on a TV ! When you are watching a baseball game or any show that has movement, the picture freezes about every 7 to 8 seconds for about half a second. You have to use two remotes because the one that comes with the TV I was very limited capabilities. The picture is good, but it is not any better than my eight year old LG TV that this one replaced. Samsung technical support is absolutely useless

On the flip side, TCL’s Roku TVs support Apple’s AirPlay 2 and HomeKit protocols, but that’s not true of the Google TV models.

Limited ability to adjust sound quality. Dialog in some cases is mumbled. I wish I could tweak audio character to clarify dialog in movies; I have that capability on my old Samsung. Also, no surround sound option that is available and effective on my 9-year-old Samsung 48-inch TV

It has a decent frequency response with a well-balanced sound profile that delivers clear dialogue. It gets very loud, with very little distortion, even at max volume.
