The Samsung Frame Series is a premium-priced TV known for better overall picture quality, gaming, and sports content viewing compared to the TCL S450G. It possesses higher performance in bright rooms and has superior motion processing, making it a suitable choice if you watch a lot of fast-action content. It also has a lower response time and better input lag which is important for gaming. On the other hand, the TCL S450G is much less expensive, making it a more budget-friendly option. While it has decent picture quality, it may not perform as well in bright rooms or with gaming. If you value a high-quality viewing experience for diverse content including gaming and can afford a higher price, the Samsung Frame Series would be a better choice. However, if you are looking for a more cost-effective option and your viewing requirements are less demanding, the TCL S450G may suffice. Both TVs will pose limitations in a dark room due to lower performance in that aspect. Give Feedback

"TCL, though, has built much of its success on affordable sets, and the 2023 TCL S Class S4 with Google TV is a testament to just how good of a TV you can get for an affordable price tag"

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.
