If you prioritize picture quality for movies and series, value good speakers, and plan to use features like HDR10+ and Dolby Vision, the Amazon Omni QLED would serve you well, but it is more expensive. However, this TV won't perform as well in very bright rooms. The TCL S446 comes at a lower price, offering a decent viewing experience for news, sports, and cartoons. It has a better viewing angle and might be a good fit for wider seating arrangements. This TV doesn't support advanced features like HDR10+ or Dolby Vision and might not be the best for dark room viewing due to its lower contrast performance. Give Feedback

The Amazon Omni QLED (LCD) is good for movies & TV, while the TCL S446 (LCD) is poor.
The Amazon Omni QLED delivers a better experience for movies and cinematic TV thanks to its superior contrast, effective local dimming, and excellent black uniformity, essential for deep blacks and high picture quality in dark scenes. In contrast, the TCL S446 struggles with lower contrast, less effective local dimming, and weaker black uniformity, leading to a less immersive viewing experience, especially in dark environments.

The Amazon Omni QLED (LCD) is only fair for gaming, while the TCL S446 (LCD) is poor.
The Amazon Omni QLED is better for gaming as it has a higher response time and input lag score, meaning it can handle fast-moving scenes with less blurring and offers a more responsive gaming experience. The TCL S446, however, has lower scores in these critical gaming performance areas, resulting in less clarity during fast action and potentially more delay between user input and on-screen reaction.

The Amazon Omni QLED (LCD) is very good for cartoons & animation, while the TCL S446 (LCD) is only fair.
The Amazon Omni QLED's excellent out-of-the-box colors and very good color gamut ensure it displays vibrant and varied colors, crucial for cartoons and animation, while the TCL S446, despite its excellent out-of-the-box colors, offers poorer color gamut, which means it may not represent the wide range of colors typically present in animated content as effectively.

The Amazon Omni QLED (LCD) is good for news, talk, & other TV, while the TCL S446 (LCD) is only fair.
The Amazon Omni QLED has good upscaling and SDR brightness, which makes standard definition content such as news and talk shows appear clearer and well-lit, while its colors out of the box, wide color gamut, and local dimming enhance the overall picture quality. On the other hand, the TCL S446 is considered fair for these types of content because, although it features excellent upscaling, its SDR brightness is not as strong, and it lacks local dimming, which can affect contrast and make the picture quality less vibrant in comparison.

The Amazon Omni QLED (LCD) is only fair for bright room, while the TCL S446 (LCD) is poor.
The Amazon Omni QLED performs better in bright rooms due to its "Good" SDR brightness and "Fair" handling of reflections, whereas the TCL S446 is less suitable with only "Fair" SDR brightness and poorer HDR output, alongside its "Good" reflection handling which doesn't compensate enough for its dimmer screen. The Amazon Omni QLED also benefits from better local dimming capabilities, which help to maintain contrast and color volume in well-lit environments.

The TCL S446 (LCD) and Amazon Omni QLED (LCD) are both only fair for sports.
The Amazon Omni QLED has a fair response time for handling fast movements in sports, but it has limited viewing angles and struggles with reflection handling, which could be a problem in a well-lit room. The TCL S446 also has a fair response time, but better viewing angle, which makes it suitable for wider seating arrangements; however, its motion processing is lower than the Amazon Omni QLED, which might result in blurrier images during fast sports action.

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.
