If you're on a tight budget and need a smaller TV, the TCL S350R is a cost-effective choice, but its overall picture quality, particularly in bright rooms and for gaming, would be underwhelming. Conversely, the LG QNED90 costs more but offers significantly better picture quality across the board, and its larger screen and superior features such as higher refresh rate, more HDMI ports, and better sound quality make it suitable for diverse uses including movies, gaming, and watching sports. The LG also has better support for different HDR formats, which enhances viewing experiences for compatible content. If a top-notch visual experience is a priority and you can invest more, the LG QNED90 would be the better option. 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.
