TCL S3 40-inch
Score: 69/100
Hisense A4 32-inch
Score: 61/100Rankings
The TCL 40S350R is a compact 40-inch 1080p Smart TV with Google TV and a low-lag Game Mode, providing clear FHD picture and decent everyday performance. It lacks 4K resolution, advanced HDR and VRR features, limiting its appeal for high-end media. Perfect for budget-conscious secondary rooms.
The Hisense 32" A4 Series is a compact Full HD Smart Fire TV offering AI Sports Mode and DTS Virtual:X audio, ideal for small-room streaming. Its low 200-nit brightness, lack of Bluetooth and modest refresh rate limit bright-room and gaming use. Best for budget-conscious users needing a secondary screen with built-in Fire TV.
