If your budget is a top priority and you mainly watch content in a dark setting, you might lean towards the TCL S355 as it costs significantly less. However, the LG UR9000, despite being more expensive, offers better gray uniformity and a wider viewing angle, which might make it more suitable for daytime viewing in bright rooms or if you often watch TV with a group spread around the room. The LG also supports HLG HDR content and offers voice command features, which could enhance your smart TV experience. Both TVs have similar poor performance in overall picture quality and gaming, but if you’re looking for a bit more in terms of features and brighter room performance, the LG UR9000 might be the better option.

About LG
LG, a prominent TV brand from Korea, has played a significant role in popularizing OLED TVs. OLED technology is hailed as the future of TV technology. Their TVs employ WebOS, a proprietary smart TV software that not only offers seamless functionality but also includes gaming-specific features, earning praise from players worldwide. Often regarded as the gateway to unparalleled viewing experiences, LG's mid-range OLEDs come highly recommended, making them a worthwhile investment for those willing to stretch their budget for superior quality.
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.
