I had the same question regarding both manufacturers, size and models. I read all the on line reviews and agree both sets were basically rated the same. Even though the 49 inch Sony was $200 more when compared to the 49/50 Samsung, the Best Buy tech pointed out a couple of additional benefits regarding the Sony screen, lighting, and engine components. I had my 29 year old “millennial” son with me and he understood what the tech was saying. I went with the Sony and have no complaints. I did wonder if I should have gone with a 55 inch, either model, but felt the size was too big for the office room I was putting the tv in. However, there is one item that favors the Samsung, which the Best Buy tech didn’t tell me. I have Comcast cable and Internet service and recently upgraded to Xfinity/XF1. The xfinity tech told me that Comcast has a deal with Samsung where you can download an app on the set that allows you to connect and receive cable programs, which eliminates the need to rent a $10 per month cable box. If you want DVR functions, evidently this option won’t work unless you have a DVR on another host that can slave to your new Samsung TV. Food for thought. Good luck, both are great sets and you won’t be disappointed in either choice.
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.I also considered the Samsung Q6 but chose the Sony 900F due to its superior picture quality. The Sony is backlit versus edge lit in the Q6. The result is better contrast and black levels. The Google interface on the 900F is also really nice. You also have Netflix, Hulu, YouTube and numerous apps built in. The 900F was about $200 more expensive but worth it in my opinion.
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.I don’t play video games so I couldn’t comment on that part. However, I did consider the Q6 before buying this TV but opted for the Sony instead. My main reason being Dolby vision, since it’s the new HDR format being used. Although it is Sony property, more and more studios are taking advantage. The Samsung Q6 does not have Dolby vision.
