If saving money is a priority and you primarily watch content in dark rooms, the TCL S450R could be suitable, as it offers fair overall picture quality and is excellent at displaying deep blacks. However, if you're looking for a more vibrant picture with better color performance for movies and animation, the Amazon Omni QLED would be preferable despite its higher cost. The Omni also provides good sound quality and has extra features like Dolby Vision and voice commands. Neither TV is ideal for gaming or sports due to their fair performance in these areas, and both may struggle with glare in bright rooms. Additionally, consider the Amazon Omni QLED if you value using your TV as a monitor, as it has better color and HDR support. Give Feedback

Tech Advisor
Jim Martin | April 2023
"This really is a TV designed for the streaming generation ... And it’s good to see support for both HDR10+ and Dolby Vision because it means more of the content you stream will be available in HDR. Overall, the Omni QLED is an impressive TV. It’s pretty bright, has good contrast and – thanks to those quantum dots – vibrant colours."

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.
