The Amazon Omni QLED is more expensive but offers better overall picture quality, sound quality, and movie watching experience. It performs well in dark rooms and has better reflection handling for bright rooms, but it's not the best for watching sports. On the other hand, the TCL Q6 is less expensive and offers better gaming performance and a slightly better sports watching experience. While it performs well in bright rooms, it may not be the best choice for dark room viewing due to its lower contrast and black uniformity. So, if you prioritize a higher quality picture and sound for movies, and plan to view in varied lighting conditions, the Amazon Omni QLED is a strong choice. If you want to save money and mostly play games or watch sports, the TCL Q6 is a suitable option. Choose based on what you'll mainly use the TV for and how much you're willing to spend. Give Feedback

The Amazon Omni QLED (LCD) is only fair for gaming, while the TCL Q6 (LCD) is poor.
The Amazon Omni QLED is better for gaming than the TCL Q6 because it has a very good input lag performance, which is crucial for a responsive gaming experience, but both have similar response times which are just fair, contributing to how quickly a display can change the image and affect motion clarity.

The Amazon Omni QLED (LCD) is very good for cartoons & animation, while the TCL Q6 (LCD) is only fair.
The Amazon Omni QLED is rated better for watching cartoons and animation mainly because it displays colors more accurately straight out of the box and offers a wider color gamut ensuring vibrant and diverse colors. In contrast, the TCL Q6 has a fair color performance out of the box and a good but not as expansive color gamut, which might result in less lively and less varied coloring for animated content.

The TCL Q6 (LCD) and Amazon Omni QLED (LCD) are both only fair for sports.
The Amazon Omni QLED and the TCL Q6 are both fair for watching sports because they share comparable response times and similarly manage reflections, with fair performance in both areas, which can impact the clarity of fast-moving objects and the visibility of the screen in well-lit environments. However, the TCL has a somewhat better motion processing capability, which is beneficial for smooth playback during fast-paced sports, while the Amazon offers slightly wider viewing angles, which might be preferred when watching with a group spread around the room.

Although they have very similar scores, PerfectRec considers TCL Q6 (LCD) to be good for bright room, while the Amazon Omni QLED (LCD) is only fair.
The Amazon Omni QLED's good SDR brightness and fair handling of reflections make it suitable for bright rooms, yet it's less ideal due to lower HDR brightness. Conversely, the TCL Q6 excels with very good SDR brightness and good HDR brightness, but its poor reflections handling may reduce visibility in well-lit environments. Both TVs offer high contrast and robust color performance, enhancing the viewability in various lighting conditions.

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.
