Considering your budget, if saving money is your top priority, you could go for the TCL S350G, but bear in mind that it has poor scores for most viewing categories including movies, sports, and gaming, and isn't suited for bright rooms. However, if you can stretch your budget a bit for the TCL S350R, you won't see much improvement in picture quality, but you might appreciate slightly better performance in certain areas like sports content. Both TVs have similar limitations in terms of overall picture quality, reflection handling, and sound, so neither would excel in well-lit environments or provide an immersive audio experience. Both are very basic and are more suited to casual viewing rather than a high-quality viewing experience. Give Feedback

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.
