If you're looking for an affordable option and plan to use your TV for gaming, the TCL S470G may be suitable due to its lower price and good gaming performance. However, this TV might not be the best for viewing in dark rooms. On the other hand, the Amazon Omni Series costs more but offers better overall picture quality and better performance in bright rooms, making it a good choice if you watch a lot of content during the day or in well-lit environments. Neither TV is exceptional in dark rooms, but the Omni series does outperform the TCL S470G slightly in that setting. Both TVs have limitations in color and contrast performance when compared to more expensive models. Give Feedback

The Amazon Omni Series (LCD) and TCL S470G (LCD) are both poor for movies & TV, though the Amazon Omni Series (LCD) is somewhat better.
The Amazon Omni Series has a high native contrast ratio, which is good for movies, but lacks local dimming to enhance dark scene details and has poor black uniformity leading to inconsistent shades of black. The TCL S470G, on the other hand, has an even lower contrast ratio and poor local dimming, along with mediocre black uniformity, which means it struggles to display deep blacks and can't provide a cinematic experience with rich, nuanced shadows.

The Amazon Omni Series (LCD) is only fair for news, talk, & other TV, while the TCL S470G (LCD) is poor.
The Amazon Omni Series is deemed fair for watching news and TV programs because it provides better upscaling of lower-resolution content and has more suitable SDR brightness for such viewing scenarios, enhancing overall picture quality. In contrast, the TCL S470G is considered poor due to its subpar upscaling capability and lower SDR brightness, which can affect the clarity and visibility of the content, especially in well-lit rooms.

Although they have very similar scores, PerfectRec considers TCL S470G (LCD) to be only fair for sports, while the Amazon Omni Series (LCD) is poor.
The Amazon Omni Series falls short when watching sports due to a poor reflections handling capability and a lack of motion processing features, which can result in unclear images during fast-paced games. In contrast, while the TCL S470G has a slower response time which might cause some motion blur, it has better reflections handling and better viewing angles, making it more suitable for group sports viewing in brighter environments.

The TCL S470G (LCD) and Amazon Omni Series (LCD) are both poor for gaming.
The Amazon Omni Series is poor for gaming due to its fair response time and very good input lag; although the input lag isn't bad, its response time may lead to motion blur during fast-paced games. The TCL S470G struggles with poor response time and best input lag, suggesting that while its input lag is very low, its slow response can cause ghosting, affecting fast-moving images.

The Amazon Omni Series (LCD) and TCL S470G (LCD) are both poor for cartoons & animation.
The Amazon Omni Series struggles with watching cartoons & animation due to its poor out-of-the-box colors and limited color gamut, which are key for vibrant and varied animations. On the other hand, the TCL S470G, while offering good colors out of the box and a decent color gamut, still falls short on color volume and gray uniformity, affecting the overall viewing experience.

"If you want a competent budget screen with some handy features, the Amazon Omni TV delivers an experience that punches well above its price tag. You’ll also get the benefit of Fire TV’s new UI right out of the box. It’s clean and simple to understand, plus it puts content first. In the picture-quality department, the Amazon Omni is a surprising star among some of its dimmer, less colorful rivals."

About Amazon
Amazon, the largest online retailer in North America, has forged partnerships with TCL and Hisense to produce white-label TVs incorporating their Fire OS software. These Amazon-branded TVs typically compete in the low-end and mid-range segments, offering compelling price points. Leveraging their strong reputation, Amazon has swiftly built brand trust in the TV market despite being relatively new to it. To enhance their popularity, these TVs integrate features from the Amazon ecosystem, including Alexa, providing users with a seamless and interconnected TV experience.
About TCL
TCL, the highly recognizable TV brand from China, has firmly established itself as the second-largest manufacturer in terms of sales volume. Renowned for striking an impressive balance between affordability, picture quality, and design, TCL TVs deliver a compelling overall package. While they have traditionally excelled in the low-end and midrange TV segments, TCL has recently made remarkable strides in the realm of high-end televisions, introducing impressive models that rival top competitors. Most TCL TVs use Roku software which is very user friendly and easy to use, but they have a few other models that use Google TV which has the largest app selection, but is not as user friendly as Roku.
