If you're looking for a more budget-friendly option and don't mind a lower quality picture, the TCL S350G may suit your needs, especially if you primarily watch content that doesn't demand high picture quality, like everyday TV shows or news. However, the Amazon Omni Series costs more but offers slightly better picture quality overall, which makes it better for a variety of content including movies and possibly some sports. Both TVs have poor performance in dark and bright rooms; the Amazon Omni has a slight edge in bright rooms. For gaming, neither is particularly strong, but the TCL may be adequate if you're not a serious gamer. The Amazon Omni also has better sound quality and more HDMI ports, which could be useful if you have multiple devices to connect. If you plan to use voice commands, the TCL comes with this feature, while the Amazon Omni does not. Give Feedback

About Amazon
Amazon, the largest online retailer in North America, has forged partnerships with TCL and Hisense to produce white-label TVs incorporating their Fire OS software. These Amazon-branded TVs typically compete in the low-end and mid-range segments, offering compelling price points. Leveraging their strong reputation, Amazon has swiftly built brand trust in the TV market despite being relatively new to it. To enhance their popularity, these TVs integrate features from the Amazon ecosystem, including Alexa, providing users with a seamless and interconnected TV experience.
About TCL
TCL, the highly recognizable TV brand from China, has firmly established itself as the second-largest manufacturer in terms of sales volume. Renowned for striking an impressive balance between affordability, picture quality, and design, TCL TVs deliver a compelling overall package. While they have traditionally excelled in the low-end and midrange TV segments, TCL has recently made remarkable strides in the realm of high-end televisions, introducing impressive models that rival top competitors. Most TCL TVs use Roku software which is very user friendly and easy to use, but they have a few other models that use Google TV which has the largest app selection, but is not as user friendly as Roku.
