If you mostly watch movies and want a better experience in a dark room, the TCL S546 could be a better choice as it performs well with movie content and dark room viewing. However, if you're on a stricter budget and are interested in a TV with a lower price point and decent performance for general use, including bright room viewing, the Amazon Omni Series might suit you. Keep in mind, the Amazon Omni Series may not be as good for gaming or sports, and its picture quality overall may not be as impressive as the TCL S546. Give Feedback

The TCL S546 (LCD) is only fair for cartoons & animation, while the Amazon Omni Series (LCD) is poor.
The Amazon Omni Series displays very poor color accuracy out of the box and also has a poor color gamut, resulting in less vibrant and true-to-life colors, which is crucial for animation. On the other hand, the TCL S546 offers a better color gamut as well as color volume, which means it is capable of showing a wider range of colors, making it more suitable for cartoons that often use a varied and vivid color palette.

REFLECTIONS SCORE

The TCL S546 (LCD) is good for bright room, while the Amazon Omni Series (LCD) is only fair.
The TCL S546's superior performance in a bright room stems from its better handling of reflections and higher brightness capacity, both for standard dynamic range (SDR) and high dynamic range (HDR) content, compared to the Amazon Omni Series, which shows suboptimal brightness levels and poorer reflection handling, thereby making it less suitable for bright environments. Although both TVs manage colors adequately with the TCL S546 featuring a better color volume and gamut, these factors are secondary to brightness and reflections in bright room conditions.

Although they have very similar scores, PerfectRec considers TCL S546 (LCD) to be only fair for sports, while the Amazon Omni Series (LCD) is poor.
The Amazon Omni Series is less suitable for watching sports as it has a poor motion processing capability, which can lead to blur during fast-paced action, and fair viewing angles, which can impact group viewings. In contrast, the TCL S546 offers better motion processing and similar viewing angles, making it a more suitable option, but also has a fair performance in handling reflections, which could be an issue in brightly lit environments.

The TCL S546 (LCD) and Amazon Omni Series (LCD) are both only fair for news, talk, & other TV.
The Amazon Omni Series is rated lower for upscaling content than the TCL S546, meaning the TCL might handle lower resolution news and talk show formats better. However, the TCL S546's colors out of the box are rated poorer than the Amazon Omni, suggesting you might need to adjust settings for a more natural picture during these TV programs.

"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.
