If you're looking for the most cost-effective option, the TCL S355 could be a good choice, especially if you have a tight budget. However, keep in mind that its performance is quite limited, particularly in picture quality across various content like movies, sports, and games, and it might not be the best option for bright rooms or for varied viewing angles. On the other hand, the LG UQ7570, while often more expensive, offers better usability as a monitor and has voice command features that might enhance the user experience. It also supports more HDR formats, which could be beneficial if you watch a lot of different types of content that take advantage of HDR technology. Both TVs are similar in terms of poor overall picture quality, so if picture quality is a top priority, you might want to consider extending your budget for a higher-performance model. Give Feedback

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.
