If you want top-notch picture quality and don't mind spending more, the Samsung QN95B delivers superior performance, especially in bright rooms and for HDR content. It's ideal for varied viewing, including movies, sports, and gaming, offering better motion handling, brightness, contrast, and reflection handling. However, if you're looking for a more budget-friendly option and are willing to compromise on picture quality, the TCL S446 is much less expensive. It is a decent choice for casual watching in dimmer environments and provides satisfactory performance for the price, but it will not match the Samsung in terms of vibrancy or clarity. Give Feedback

The Samsung QN95B (LCD) is very good for movies & TV, while the TCL S446 (LCD) is poor.
The Samsung QN95B excels in watching movies and cinematic TV due to its high contrast, effective local dimming, and excellent black uniformity, which enhances dark scene portrayal, especially in low-lit environments. In contrast, the TCL S446 falls short in these areas, with lower contrast, nonexistent local dimming, and poor black uniformity, leading to less impressive dark scenes and overall picture quality.

The Samsung QN95B (LCD) is good for sports, while the TCL S446 (LCD) is only fair.
The Samsung QN95B is better for watching sports due to its excellent motion processing and response time, which help to provide clear images in fast-moving scenes, and its handling of reflections ensures a good viewing experience in bright rooms. On the other hand, the TCL S446 is fair in these respects, with poorer motion processing that might result in more blur during fast action and a good but less effective reflection handling, which could be an issue in well-lit environments.

The Samsung QN95B (LCD) is excellent for cartoons & animation, while the TCL S446 (LCD) is only fair.
The Samsung QN95B is regarded as excellent for watching cartoons & animation because it displays vibrant and accurate colors straight from the box, and has a higher color gamut, suggesting more vivid and diverse colors. On the other hand, the TCL S446, while offering excellent colors out of the box, has a poorer color gamut, which means it won't represent a broad range of colors as well, making it fair for the same content.

The Samsung QN95B (LCD) is excellent for news, talk, & other TV, while the TCL S446 (LCD) is only fair.
The Samsung QN95B offers superb upscaling and excellent SDR brightness, which means it can take lower resolution images from news or talk shows and display them brightly and clearly. In contrast, the TCL S446 is fair in both upscaling and SDR brightness; although it can upscale content, it won't be as sharp or as vivid as the Samsung, especially in a brightly lit room.

The Samsung QN95B (LCD) is best in class for bright room, while the TCL S446 (LCD) is poor.
The Samsung QN95B is better suited for bright rooms as it has higher SDR and HDR brightness levels and superior reflections handling, which makes for clear visibility even under lots of ambient light. In contrast, the TCL S446 struggles in bright rooms due to its lower brightness and only good reflections handling, leading to a less optimal viewing experience under the same conditions.

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.
