The Samsung Q70A offers better overall picture quality and performs well for gaming with high responsiveness. It also has better performance in bright rooms compared to the TCL S455. On the other hand, the TCL S455 is more budget-friendly but won't perform as well in bright rooms or with gaming, and it offers slightly inferior picture quality. If you are willing to invest more for a better gaming experience and brighter room performance, the Samsung Q70A would be advisable. If you're looking to save money and can compromise on those aspects, the TCL S455 might be suitable. Both models have similar features like HDR support, but the Samsung has a 120Hz refresh rate which is better for gaming than the TCL's 60Hz. Give Feedback

USA Today

Lee Neikirk | January 2022
"A highly affordable but reliably kitted-out 4K Roku TV that, while far from perfect, still punches above its price and delivers a great user experience. If you want to soup up movie night for a bargain, the 4-Series won’t let you down. You may never need to plug in a set-top box or streaming device."

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.
