If your priority is picture quality and performance in various lighting conditions, the Hisense U6G would be a better choice as it generally offers better picture quality and is well-suited for darker rooms. However, the TCL S470G holds an advantage in brightly lit environments and also provides a more budget-friendly option with acceptable performance for everyday viewing. Keep in mind, the additional cost of the Hisense U6G invests in higher quality for movies, gaming, and HDR content, whereas the TCL S470G focuses on providing a solid viewing experience without the premium price tag.

The Hisense U6G (LCD) is very good for news, talk, & other TV, while the TCL S470G (LCD) is poor.
The Hisense U6G is better for watching news, talk shows, and TV programs because it has very good SDR brightness and good upscaled image quality, ensuring clear viewing even in bright rooms and when watching lower-resolution content. On the other hand, the TCL S470G performs poorly in these aspects, which may result in a less satisfying viewing experience for everyday content, particularly in well-lit environments.

The Hisense U6G (LCD) is good for bright room, while the TCL S470G (LCD) is poor.

Both TVs have somewhat fair reflection handling; however, the superior brightness of the Hisense U6G compensates for reflections more effectively than the TCL S470G.

The TCL S470G (LCD) and Hisense U6G (LCD) are both only fair for sports.
The Hisense U6G offers good response time which is crucial for clear motion in sports, but it doesn't handle reflections as well as ideal, which can be distracting in bright rooms. On the other hand, the TCL S470G has wider viewing angles making it easier to watch from the side, yet it has a poorer response time, leading to more motion blur during fast-paced sports action.

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.
