If you're looking for a more budget-friendly option, the Amazon Omni QLED is significantly less expensive and offers a strong streaming experience, with better smart features overall. However, the TCL R745, while more costly, will provide you with superior picture quality in both dark and bright rooms, making it better suited for a variety of viewing conditions, including movies, sports, and gaming. The TCL also has a higher refresh rate, which can be beneficial for fast-paced content or gaming, but its smart feature set may not be as robust as the Amazon's. If room brightness is a frequent issue or if you're looking for a TV with a faster refresh rate for action-heavy content, the TCL might be worth the extra investment; otherwise, the Amazon Omni QLED can save you money without sacrificing a strong streaming experience.

The Amazon Omni QLED (LCD) is very good for cartoons & animation, while the TCL R745 (LCD) is poor.
The Amazon Omni QLED displays cartoons and animations better partly because it offers superior colors straight out of the box and has a broader color gamut, which are both very important for animated content. In contrast, the TCL R745 is considered poor for this type of content as it has a lesser color volume, which affects the vibrancy of the colors, impacting the overall viewing experience for cartoons and animations.

The TCL R745 (LCD) and Amazon Omni QLED (LCD) are both only fair for sports.
Both the Amazon Omni QLED and the TCL R745 are ranked fair in watching sports, with the main drawbacks being their viewing angles and motion processing, which are less than ideal for fast-moving content and wide seating arrangements. However, the Amazon Omni handles reflections slightly better than the TCL R745, making it more suitable for rooms with some light, but they both have room to improve in terms of gray uniformity, which is important for viewing sports without distracting areas on the screen.

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.
