Choose the TCL S470G if you're on a tight budget and need a basic TV for general viewing in a controlled lighting environment. It's a decent choice for everyday TV shows and cartoons, with fair dark room performance and good SDR brightness. However, it's not ideal for bright rooms, gaming, or as a monitor replacement due to poor motion processing and input lag. The sound quality is average, and it lacks advanced features like local dimming and wide color gamut. Opt for the Hisense UX if you want a premium viewing experience with excellent bright room performance, superior picture quality, and top-notch gaming capabilities. It's perfect for movies with its high contrast ratio and supports Dolby Vision and HDR10+ for an enhanced viewing experience. The larger screen size and better color accuracy make it suitable for a wide range of content, including sports and animation. It also offers better speakers and can double as a monitor with its superior upscaling and motion processing. However, be prepared to pay a higher price for these premium features. Give Feedback

The Hisense UX (LCD) is very good for movies & TV, while the TCL S470G (LCD) is poor.
The Hisense UX is better for movies due to its high contrast, effective local dimming, and excellent black uniformity, which are critical for a cinematic experience, whereas the TCL S470G falls short in these areas, notably having poor contrast and local dimming with subpar black uniformity, which results in lower picture quality in dark scenes common in movies.

The Hisense UX (LCD) is very good for gaming, while the TCL S470G (LCD) is poor.
The Hisense UX excels in gaming due in part to its very good response time, which minimizes motion blur, and good input lag performance, which ensures more responsive gameplay. In contrast, the TCL S470G is considered poor for gaming because its response time is low, leading to more noticeable motion blur, and despite its best input lag, it has a lower refresh rate, which limits the smoothness of motion in games.

The Hisense UX (LCD) is excellent for cartoons & animation, while the TCL S470G (LCD) is poor.
The Hisense UX excels in displaying cartoons and animations due to its very good color accuracy out of the box and a color gamut that ensures a wide spectrum of vibrant colors, which is essential for animated content. In contrast, the TCL S470G does not perform as well with only good color accuracy out of the box and a more limited color volume which makes its color representation for animations less vivid and diverse.

The Hisense UX (LCD) is very good for news, talk, & other TV, while the TCL S470G (LCD) is poor.
The Hisense UX excels in watching news and TV shows due to its superior upscaling and higher SDR brightness, making on-screen content crisp and clear even in well-lit rooms, while offering good out-of-the-box colors. Conversely, the TCL S470G falls short primarily due to its poor SDR brightness, which can make images appear dull, especially in bright environments, and its upscaling is not as effective, leading to less detailed images in standard definition content.

The Hisense UX (LCD) is best in class for bright room, while the TCL S470G (LCD) is poor.
The Hisense UX performs very well in bright rooms due to its excellent SDR and HDR brightness and very good handling of reflections, whereas the TCL S470G struggles in bright rooms because of its poor SDR and HDR brightness and fair performance in reflection handling. The Hisense UX offers deeper contrast and better color volume and gamut which are also somewhat important for picture quality, contrasting with the TCL's moderate performance in these areas.

The Hisense UX (LCD) and TCL S470G (LCD) are both only fair for sports.
The Hisense UX's motion processing and response time are more suited for sports, but it falls short in viewing angles, which could affect off-angle group viewing. In contrast, the TCL S470G offers wider viewing angles but has slower response time, making fast-action sports less smooth, and lower motion processing capabilities, leading to possible blur during rapid movements. Both have similar issues with reflection handling and gray uniformity, which are passable but not exceptional.

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.
