Our Verdict

Toshiba Fire TV 2020

TCL 4 Series/S435 2020

The Toshiba Fire TV 2020 is slightly better than the TCL 4 Series/S435 2020. The Toshiba gets much brighter, has better black uniformity, slightly better reflection handling, and quicker response time. However, the TCL has better gradient handling, displays chroma 4:4:4, and removes 24p judder from native sources.
