Our Verdict

LeEco Super4

TCL 5 Series 2018

The TCL 5 Series S517 is a bit better than the LeEco Super4. The TCL S517 can completely remove judder from all 24p sources, whereas the LeEco Super4 can't remove judder from any source. The S517 has much lower input lag, great for gaming or use as a PC monitor.
