Which to get​

Hey everyone.

I'm trying to decide between two TVs and could really use your input. On one hand, I've got the Hisense 32" TV. It has a built-in Roku, which is awesome since it gives me access to a massive library of over 500,000 movies and shows. Plus, with its Motion Rate processing and Game Mode, it seems like it would handle fast-paced action pretty well. However, the HD resolution is only 720p, which makes me a bit concerned about picture clarity, especially for movies and sports.

On the other hand, there’s the TCL 4-Series TV. This one boasts stunning 4K Ultra HD, which is really tempting given that it promises four times the resolution of Full HD. The High Dynamic Range (HDR) is another selling point since it should provide brighter and more accurate colors. Plus, the customizable home screen sounds super convenient, especially for someone like me who juggles different streaming services. My worry, though, is whether it has any issues with sound quality or if it’s as user-friendly as it claims.

So, based on picture quality, sound quality, system performance, and any potential downsides you might know about, which one should I go for? Your thoughts would be super helpful!
