If you prioritize saving money and need a basic TV, the TCL S350G might suit your needs, though it performs poorly across most categories including picture quality and gaming, and is not ideal for bright rooms. On the other hand, the Samsung S95B is an upper midrange priced TV that excels in overall picture quality, gaming, viewing in both dark and bright environments, and has great sound quality, making it a versatile choice for all types of content including movies, sports, and gaming, but it's significantly more expensive. The Samsung S95B offers a far superior visual experience with OLED technology, wider color gamut, and better performance in high dynamic range (HDR) content. If you value a high-quality viewing experience and are willing to invest more, the Samsung S95B would provide a more satisfying long-term investment. Give Feedback

"Samsung's S95B is easily one of the best high-end 4K TVs on the market. S95B is able to achieve industry-leading color performance and a brighter screen than typical OLEDs. In fact, the display's OLED color coverage is nearly in a class of its own. The S95B is a beautiful TV, even when it's off. The display has a pleasing, minimalist design with nearly bezel-less borders and an impressively thin profile."

About Samsung
Samsung, a South Korean electronics manufacturer, holds the title of being the largest global TV vendor in terms of units sold. They offer a diverse lineup of TV products that cater to various budget ranges. A notable achievement in recent years is the development of Quantum Dots, a technology that enhances color reproduction, resulting in richer and more vibrant hues. Samsung TVs are well-regarded for their high manufacturing quality and user-friendly software, making them an excellent choice for consumers seeking an intuitive viewing experience.
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.
