TCL Q3K Series 1080p QLED Smart TV vs Roku Select Series 43" 4K TV

The Roku Select Series is the better TV for most people: it is 4K HDR at 43 inches, has three to four HDMI inputs, Ethernet, an optical output and a USB port, and its 4.8 rating from 1,755 owners beats the TCL's 4.4 from 987. The TCL Q3K is a smaller 1080p QLED set with Google TV, Google Assistant and Bluetooth, and its QLED layer gives richer color than a plain LED panel, but it tops out at Full HD and has only two HDMI ports. Buy the TCL only if you want a compact Google TV for a bedroom or kitchen and do not need 4K.

• Choose the TCL Q3K if you want a small Google TV with QLED color, Google Assistant built in and a simple two-cable setup.
• Choose the Roku Select Series if you want a 4K HDR picture, more HDMI and USB ports, Ethernet and the simpler Roku OS.
