Our Verdict
LG C4 OLED
TCL Q651G
The LG C4 OLED is better than the TCL Q651G. The LG has perfect black levels, so it displays deep and inky blacks with no blooming. The LG also gets brighter in SDR and has much better reflection handling, so it’s better suited for a room with the lights on. Additionally, the LG has much better HDR brightness and displays more vibrant colors, leading to a more impactful HDR experience. Regarding gaming, the LG has HDMI 2.1 bandwidth and 4k @ 144Hz support, making it fully compatible with modern consoles.
