The Amazon Omni Series is less expensive and offers better performance for bright rooms, with higher scores for watching news, talk shows, and animation. The Omni Series also has slightly better sound quality, and it's preferable for usage as a regular monitor. On the other hand, the TCL R745 is pricier but excels in gaming due to its lower response time and input lag, and better color handling. It has a larger screen size and superior motion processing, making it a good choice for watching sports and fast-paced content. If budget is a consideration and bright room performance is important, the Amazon Omni Series could be suitable. For avid gamers or those desiring a larger screen with a focus on motion and gaming performance, the TCL R745 would be a solid choice despite its higher price. Give Feedback

The TCL R745 (LCD) is good for gaming, while the Amazon Omni Series (LCD) is poor.
The TCL R745 is superior for gaming because it has the best input lag performance, which is essential for a responsive gaming experience, while the Amazon Omni Series lags behind in this area, albeit still performing well. Moreover, the TCL R745 boasts a 120Hz refresh rate enhancing fluid motion, in contrast, the Amazon Omni Series is limited with its 60Hz refresh rate, which can hinder fast-paced gaming action..

The TCL R745 (LCD) and Amazon Omni Series (LCD) are both poor for cartoons & animation.
The Amazon Omni Series TVs display colors inaccurately out of the box and have a limited color gamut, making vibrant cartoon colors appear washed out. Similarly, the TCL R745 may not properly reproduce the vivid colors typically found in animation due to average color gamut performance and more accurate yet still imperfect colors straight out of the box.

The TCL R745 (LCD) and Amazon Omni Series (LCD) are both only fair for news, talk, & other TV.
The Amazon Omni Series and the TCL R745 both have fair SDR brightness, which is very important for watching news and TV programs in well-lit rooms. However, they lack local dimming to enhance contrast, which impacts their performance in displaying deeper blacks and overall picture quality; the Omni Series has slightly better contrast but poorer colors out of the box compared to the R745, which could affect color accuracy and vibrancy straight after purchase.

Although they have very similar scores, PerfectRec considers Amazon Omni Series (LCD) to be only fair for bright room, while the TCL R745 (LCD) is poor.
The Amazon Omni Series performs slightly better in a bright room compared to the TCL R745 because it handles reflections more effectively and offers marginally better HDR brightness. Nonetheless, the Omni Series still has limitations in bright room viewing, particularly in contrast and color volume, where the TCL R745, despite its poorer reflection handling, may have a slight edge.

"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.
