If you're looking to save money and are okay with a TV that has limited performance across most viewing conditions, including gaming, sports, and movies, then the budget-friendly TCL S355 could be suitable for your needs. However, keep in mind that its picture quality is poor, it doesn't handle reflections well, and it's not particularly bright, so it's not the best choice for brightly lit rooms. On the other hand, if you can stretch your budget, the LG NANO90 offers better performance in bright rooms, has a much better response time for gaming, and supports a wide range of HDR formats. This makes the LG NANO90 more versatile, especially for varied uses such as watching sports, playing games, or enjoying movies in high-quality HDR. The higher price reflects these enhancements in picture quality and overall feature set. Give Feedback

John Archer | July 2021
"Here we have HDR pictures that look bright, but also manage to typically hit decently deep black levels.WebOS continues, though, to be one of the easiest to use. Connections are strong for a mid-range TV. Native 4K pictures look crisp and detailed."

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.
