If you prioritize gaming and a higher overall picture quality in bright rooms, the TCL R646 is a better choice. However, if you want a TV with slightly better performance for movies, series, and daily TV such as news, the Amazon Omni QLED may suit you better. Both TVs struggle with sports content, but the Amazon performs a little less well in this regard. The Amazon Omni also has a lower score for being used as a monitor, whereas the TCL is a bit more versatile in this aspect. They are similarly priced, so your preference for specific content and usage should guide your decision. Give Feedback

The TCL R646 (LCD) and Amazon Omni QLED (LCD) are both only fair for sports, though the TCL R646 (LCD) is somewhat better.
The Amazon Omni QLED has fair performance when watching sports largely due to its fair response time and reflection handling which can impact fast-moving scenes and viewing in bright rooms; however, its viewing angles and gray uniformity are just moderate, which may affect group viewing experiences. In contrast, the TCL R646 offers a very good response time and excels at processing motion, reducing motion blur during sports, and has very good reflection handling, but like the Amazon Omni, it too has limited viewing angles that might challenge off-center group viewing.

The TCL R646 (LCD) is very good for bright room, while the Amazon Omni QLED (LCD) is only fair.
The TCL R646 excels in a bright room because it has very good SDR and HDR brightness levels along with excellent reflections handling, making it suitable for environments with lots of light. On the other hand, the Amazon Omni QLED is less capable in bright rooms, with only good SDR brightness and fair performance in handling reflections, meaning it may struggle more with ambient light.

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.
