The LG G1 is an OLED TV that offers superior picture quality, better gaming performance, and excellent dark room performance compared to the TCL R648, which is an LCD TV. However, the LG G1 comes at a higher price. The LG G1 also has better viewing angles and handles reflections well, making it a good choice for a room with various seating positions and some ambient light. On the other hand, the TCL R648 has a brighter screen which is beneficial for bright room viewing, but it doesn't perform as well in a dark room, nor does it handle colors and contrasts as richly as the LG G1. If budget considerations are important and you have a well-lit room, the TCL R648 might be the right choice for you. It also supports high-resolution content up to 8K, unlike the LG G1 which supports up to 4K resolution. Both TVs support major HDR formats including Dolby Vision and HDR10. 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.
