If you're on a tight budget, the TCL S350R might be the better pick, as it costs less. However, it offers lower performance across most aspects including picture quality, reflection handling, and sound quality. If you are looking for a TV that might serve better in a variety of lighting conditions and offers slightly better sound and build quality, consider the LG UQ7570 despite the higher price. Note that neither TV is particularly strong in any performance area, but if you need a bigger screen size, the LG provides a 50-inch option compared to TCL's 43-inch. Neither choice is well-suited for gaming or watching sports due to their poor performance in these areas, and both have mediocre picture quality which is not ideal for movie enthusiasts.

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.
