If picture quality is your top priority and budget is less of a concern, the LG G3 OLED provides superior overall image quality, with better performance in both dark and bright rooms compared to the TCL S546 LCD. The LG G3 OLED also excels in gaming, sports, and movies, thanks to its better motion processing, color accuracy, and wider viewing angles. Its OLED screen also delivers perfect black levels and contrast, enhancing the viewing experience for movies and series. However, if you are looking for a more budget-friendly option, the TCL S546 offers decent performance for its price. While you'll compromise on picture quality in bright rooms and may not get the same level of gaming performance, it still supports HDR content and can be a good choice for general TV viewing, including news, cartoons, and reality TV. Just be aware that its narrower viewing angles and less refined motion processing may affect how the picture looks when viewed from the side or during fast-moving scenes. Give Feedback

The LG G3 (OLED) is very good for sports, while the TCL S546 (LCD) is only fair.
The LG G3 OLED provides an excellent sports watching experience due to its superior motion processing and response time, ensuring fast-moving scenes are smooth and clear, combined with wide viewing angles which maintain image accuracy from different seating positions. The TCL S546 LCD, on the other hand, has slower motion processing and a fair response time, which means action might not be as crisp, and its more limited viewing angles could result in color and contrast shifts when viewed from the side.

The LG G3 (OLED) is excellent for cartoons & animation, while the TCL S546 (LCD) is only fair.
The LG G3 OLED TV provides rich and accurate colors right out of the box and has a wide color gamut, making cartoons and animations look vibrant and life-like. In comparison, the TCL S546 LCD TV offers poorer color performance out of the box and has a less impressive color gamut, which means that animations will appear less striking and with less depth on the screen.

The LG G3 (OLED) is excellent for news, talk, & other TV, while the TCL S546 (LCD) is only fair.
The LG G3 OLED delivers excellent performance for news and talk shows as it has very good upscaling for lower resolution content and very good SDR brightness to maintain picture quality. In contrast, the TCL S546 LCD also provides very good SDR brightness but has fair upscaling capabilities and just good color reproduction, which could result in a less refined viewing experience for such programs.

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.
