If you're on a tight budget and need a TV primarily for casual viewing in smaller spaces, the TCL S350R might suffice, though its performance in picture quality, gaming, and bright rooms is limited. On the other hand, if you're willing to invest in a high-quality viewing experience for movies, sports, or gaming, especially in both bright and dark environments, the Sony A90J offers superior picture performance, better sound, and wide viewing angles. Its OLED screen also means deeper blacks and better overall contrast. With the Sony A90J, you also get additional features like voice commands and a choice of stand positions to accommodate soundbars, which could enhance your home theater setup. However, keep in mind the higher cost associated with these premium features and improvements. Give Feedback

Simon Lucas | June 2021
"In every meaningful department – motion control, contrast, edge definition, detail levels, you name it the A90J puts in a memorably accomplished shift. In fact, the Sony proves outstanding at handling on-screen motion of any and every kind. By the standards of television audio systems, the A90J is a notably punchy and genuinely dynamic performer."

About Sony

Sony stands as a highly experienced and widely trusted TV manufacturer, earning a reputation that surpasses all others. A Japanese company, Sony has been making TVs for far longs than it has been making Playstation game consoles. Sony's high-end TVs are often regarded as the ultimate choice for videophiles, representing the epitome of quality, albeit at a premium price point. Renowned for their advanced and precise motion handling, as well as their cutting-edge local dimming algorithms, Sony consistently delivers unparalleled performance in these areas. They include Google TV software with all their TV sets, which grants access to the largest selection of apps available and they also include Bravia Core which is a movie streaming platform specifically for Sony TVs that offers higher picture quality by using more bandwidth.

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.
