TCL 55" S41CG 4K Google TV vs TCL Q51K QLED 4K Google TV (55")

Both are 55-inch 4K Google TVs with 60Hz panels and Motion Rate 240, so motion handling is similar. The Q Series (Q51K) is the step up: QLED quantum dots, Dolby Vision, HDR10+ and HLG, a brighter direct LED backlight, and four HDMI ports. The S41CG is a limited-edition LED set with a metal bezel-less frame and a slightly higher rating from far fewer owners. Buy the Q Series for the better picture; buy the S41CG only if its slim metal design matters more to you.

• Choose the TCL S41CG if you want a clean metal bezel-less look and a basic 4K Google TV and do not care about quantum-dot color or Dolby Vision.
• Choose the TCL Q Series if picture quality leads your list: QLED color, Dolby Vision and HDR10+, a brighter backlight and a fourth HDMI port.
