If you're looking to save money and only need a basic TV, the Amazon 4-Series could be suitable. However, its picture quality, especially in bright rooms, isn't very strong, and it's not great for gaming, sports, or watching movies. On the other hand, if you are willing to spend more, the TCL Q7 offers good picture quality in various settings, including brighter rooms, and is very good for gaming. The TCL Q7 also supports advanced features like higher refresh rates and various HDR formats, which could enhance your viewing experience for movies and series. Keep in mind though, if you often watch TV from wide angles, both TVs have limited viewing angles, so the picture quality will decrease when viewed from the side. Give Feedback

Tech Advisor
Jim Martin | May 2023
"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.
