If you're looking for a better overall picture quality, especially in brighter rooms, the Amazon Omni Series (LCD) would be a better choice. However, if you're on a budget and the price is a significant concern, then the TCL S450G (LCD) would be the more economical option. The TCL model also has lower input lag which is ideal for gaming. Both TVs support Dolby Vision and have similar sound quality. Neither are great for darker rooms, and both have limited viewing angles, so they're not the best for large groups spread out across a room. Give Feedback

The TCL S450G (LCD) and Amazon Omni Series (LCD) are both poor for movies & TV.
The Amazon Omni Series and the TCL S450G both produce less impressive contrast and struggle with black uniformity, which can diminish the depth and realism in dark movie scenes. Neither model offers good local dimming to enhance contrast, and their performance can suffer in terms of color accuracy straight out of the box and how well they display various shades, potentially leading to less vibrant and less true-to-life colors in cinematic content.

Although they have very similar scores, PerfectRec considers Amazon Omni Series (LCD) to be only fair for news, talk, & other TV, while the TCL S450G (LCD) is poor.
The Amazon Omni Series offers better SDR brightness, which is crucial for watching TV in well-lit environments and upscaling, ensuring that low-resolution content looks clearer, while the TCL S450G falls short in these areas, which affects picture quality when watching regular broadcasts like news and talk shows. Additionally, colors out of the box, which are somewhat important for an appealing image, are described as poor for both the Amazon Omni Series and TCL S450G, meaning neither TV excels in providing the best color accuracy without calibration.

"If you want a competent budget screen with some handy features, the Amazon Omni TV delivers an experience that punches well above its price tag. You’ll also get the benefit of Fire TV’s new UI right out of the box. It’s clean and simple to understand, plus it puts content first. In the picture-quality department, the Amazon Omni is a surprising star among some of its dimmer, less colorful rivals."

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.
