TCL 40" S-Class 1080p Google TV vs Hisense 40" QD4 Fire TV

Both are 40-inch 1080p smart TVs, so the choice comes down to panel and platform. The Hisense QD4 uses a quantum-dot QLED panel with motion smoothing and a low 16ms game mode, which suits gamers and anyone who wants punchier color. The TCL S350 runs Google TV with Chromecast built in and a simplified voice remote, and its 4.4 rating across 1,300+ owners points to solid reliability for a budget set. Pick the Hisense for picture and gaming, the TCL for the Google ecosystem.

• Choose the TCL S350 if you want Google TV with Chromecast built in, Google Assistant and Alexa support, and a stripped-down remote with one-touch app shortcuts.
• Choose the Hisense QD4 if picture quality and gaming matter more than the platform, since it adds a quantum-dot panel, motion smoothing and a 16ms game mode.
