Our Verdict
TCL 4 Series 2019
LG UM7300
The LG UM7300 is a better TV than the TCL 4 Series 2019 for most uses. The LG uses an IPS panel, which gives it better viewing angles but worse black levels. The LG can get a lot brighter, has better gray uniformity, and more accurate colors. On the other hand, the TCL has a slightly wider color gamut and better gradient handling.
