If you're on a tight budget and mainly watch news or reality TV in a bright room, the TCL S350R is a wallet-friendly choice but won't deliver a picture quality that's particularly vibrant or detailed. Conversely, if you're willing to invest in a superior viewing experience for movies, sports, and gaming, especially in dark rooms where contrast and color vibrancy are critical, the LG G1 OLED's higher price is justified by its excellent performance with deep blacks and wide viewing angles. Also, the LG G1 has much better sound quality and is built for smooth motion, whereas the TCL's capabilities in these areas are limited. Keep in mind that the LG G1 is also well suited for bright rooms with its good reflection handling, but if you plan to use the TV in a very bright space, the TCL may still be sufficient. For gamers and those wanting to use the TV as a monitor, the LG G1 offers better support for various formats and lower input lag, enhancing the experience. 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.
