If you prioritize motion processing, color accuracy straight out of the box, and plan to use your TV as a monitor, the LG UQ7570 might be a better choice. It also has better sound quality, which might save you from needing an external sound system. However, if you're looking for a TV that handles well in bright rooms, has better gray uniformity, and you want an extra HDMI port, the TCL S446 would suit you better. Neither TV is particularly suited for a very bright room or for watching content where overall picture quality is crucial, like movies or sports. Give Feedback

About LG
LG, a prominent TV brand from Korea, has played a significant role in popularizing OLED TVs. OLED technology is hailed as the future of TV technology. Their TVs employ WebOS, a proprietary smart TV software that not only offers seamless functionality but also includes gaming-specific features, earning praise from players worldwide. Often regarded as the gateway to unparalleled viewing experiences, LG's mid-range OLEDs come highly recommended, making them a worthwhile investment for those willing to stretch their budget for superior quality.
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.
