If you prefer gaming and want a TV with a higher refresh rate, consider the TCL Q7, which has better gaming performance and chroma subsampling, making it suitable for use as a monitor. However, the Amazon Omni QLED has slightly better overall picture quality and is stronger for watching movies, series, and news programs. Both TVs are comparable for dark room viewing, but the Amazon has a slightly better score for bright rooms. The TCL Q7 may cost a bit more, but it also offers a better viewing angle and lower input lag, which is advantageous for fast-paced gaming and sports. Each TV supports HDR, Dolby Vision, and HLG, ensuring a good HDR viewing experience. Both lack great built-in speakers, so an external sound system could be beneficial and are comparable in terms of accessibility features, with the TCL Q7 offering voice commands. Give Feedback

The Amazon Omni QLED (LCD) is good for news, talk, & other TV, while the TCL Q7 (LCD) is only fair.
The Amazon Omni QLED excels in upscaling lower-resolution content and delivers good SDR brightness, making it suitable for watching news and TV shows. In contrast, the TCL Q7 has fair colors out of the box and a less capable upscaling feature, which may affect the picture quality for standard definition content like news programs.

The TCL Q7 (LCD) and Amazon Omni QLED (LCD) are both only fair for sports.
The Amazon Omni QLED has a fair response time, which is important for sports to avoid motion blur, but has only fair reflection handling, reducing its effectiveness in bright rooms. Conversely, the TCL Q7 has very good response time, better for fast sports action, yet poor reflection handling, similarly impairing its performance in well-lit environments.

How the Amazon Omni QLED (LCD) and the TCL Q7 (LCD) compare to other TVs
"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.
