If you prioritize having a broader set of HDR supported formats including Dolby Vision and HLG, and slightly better sound due to higher speaker power, the TCL S470G might suit you better. It also has an additional HDMI port and voice command functionality, which could enhance convenience. However, if color accuracy straight out of the box is more important to you, and you don't require HDR10+ or Dolby Vision support, then the Hisense A4H could be a fitting choice. Both have limited picture quality and are not ideal for dark or bright room viewing, but if budget is a key factor and you need a TV mostly for casual viewing or as a secondary set, these differences may influence your decision.

"On the bright side the S4 does have great viewing angles that can make it an excellent family TV. It has great color coverage, its input lag is extremely low, it supports Dolby Vision and comes with Google TV."

About Hisense
Hisense, a Chinese TV manufacturer, entered the US market in approximately 2011 and has since acquired TV divisions from various companies such as Toshiba, Sharp, Hitachi, and NEC. Currently ranking as the fourth largest vendor in terms of sales volume, Hisense aims to capture a wide range of TV budget segments. They offer exceptional value with TVs that often outperform their competitors at similar price points, making them a compelling choice for consumers. In the US, they use Google TV as their smart TV software which provides the largest app selection and a very modern user interface, however it is not as user friendly as the software from other vendors.
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.
