If you prioritize picture quality, especially for movies and dark room viewing, the LG A2 OLED with its excellent contrast and black levels would be a wise investment despite being more expensive. However, the Toshiba C350LU LCD may suit you if you're on a budget and primarily use the TV for watching news or for casual viewing in well-lit rooms, though its overall picture quality is lower. Keep in mind, gaming and HDR content will not be as immersive on the Toshiba compared to the LG. If sound quality is important, neither TVs have great speakers, so consider a separate sound system.

"Movie fans will find a lot here to love, and the A2 series’ low prices compared with other OLED TVs will keep their wallets happy. Images had the deep blacks and detailed shadows typical of the best 4K TVs, while colors looked both fully saturated and clean. Also, the A2’s out-of-box picture performance in Filmmaker mode was mostly accurate, requiring only slight adjustments to optimize brightness, color, and contrast."
