If you're on a strict budget and cost is the key factor, the TCL S350G might suit your needs, but its overall picture quality is weak across various content types and it's not great for bright rooms. The Amazon 4-Series costs more but offers better performance for bright rooms and has a lower input lag, making it more suitable for casual gaming. Both TVs have their limitations in picture quality and sound, and neither would be ideal for critical movie watching, gaming, or use in very bright rooms. Neither supports advanced HDR formats like HDR10+ or Dolby Vision, which are beneficial for enhancing the viewing experience of compatible content. The Amazon 4-Series has more HDMI ports, which could be more convenient if you plan to connect multiple devices. Give Feedback

"The attraction here is that the 4-Series uses Amazon’s Fire TV interface. Picture quality is good but unexceptional. At the discounted prices, which can seemingly be had regularly, they are better value."

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.
