If you're mainly focused on a high-quality picture and don't mind spending extra, the Samsung Q60C offers superior image quality, particularly in bright rooms. However, the TCL S435, although not as advanced in terms of image quality, is significantly more affordable and still provides a good viewing experience for basic TV watching and streaming. If gaming is a priority, both TVs are fairly equal, with decent performance. Therefore, if cost is a concern and you're satisfied with a good but not top-tier picture, the TCL S435 may be the way to go. If you prefer better performance in diverse lighting conditions and are willing to pay for higher quality, the Samsung Q60C is a better choice. Give Feedback

"The TCL 4-Series is so inexpensive and capable you might start to question why there are any multithousand-dollar TVs at all. The 4-Series setup is intuitive and easy. If you're just looking for an easy-to-use TV with decent picture, this is an excellent place to start."

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.
