If you are on a tighter budget and prioritize sports or animated content, you may prefer the TCL S446 as it's less expensive and performs slightly better for those types of content. However, if you're looking for a TV with slightly higher overall picture quality and better performance for gaming, the LG NANO75 would be the better option, though it comes at a higher price. Both TVs perform comparably in bright rooms, so this would not be a differentiating factor. Neither of these models excel in a dark room setting due to their lower contrast and black uniformity. Keep in mind, both models may not be optimal for the latest gaming consoles or high-end HDR content due to their more basic features. Give Feedback

The TCL S446 (LCD) and LG NANO75 (LCD) are both poor for movies & TV.
The LG NANO75 and TCL S446 both have low contrast ratios and lack local dimming, which means they won’t display deep blacks and may suffer in delivering a true cinematic experience, especially in dark scenes. Additionally, both TVs have poor black uniformity, which can result in cloudy spots visible during movie playback, while their satisfactory colors and gray uniformity might not fully compensate for the lackluster contrast and black levels.

The LG NANO75 (LCD) and TCL S446 (LCD) are both only fair for sports.
The LG NANO75 has better motion processing, which means it can handle fast-moving scenes in sports slightly better than the TCL S446; however, both TVs have only a fair response time, so motion may not be as smooth as on TVs with faster response times. In bright rooms, both TVs manage reflections well and have wide viewing angles, but the LG NANO75 offers somewhat better viewing angles, making it more suitable for group viewings during sports games.

The TCL S446 (LCD) and LG NANO75 (LCD) are both poor for gaming.
The LG NANO75 and TCL S446 are considered less than ideal for gaming largely due to their fair response times and lack of high refresh rates, with the NANO75 offering the best input lag over the S446, which is just very good. Since both TVs offer a standard 60Hz refresh rate and don't excel in response time, fast-paced gaming might not be as smooth or responsive as it would on TVs built with gaming in mind.

Although they have very similar scores, PerfectRec considers TCL S446 (LCD) to be only fair for cartoons & animation, while the LG NANO75 (LCD) is poor.
The LG NANO75 struggles with cartoons and animations primarily due to its unremarkable color gamut and color volume, which are essential for vibrant and varied colors in animated content. In contrast, the TCL S446 provides a better experience for such content with its excellent colors out of the box, although it also has limitations in color gamut, which affects color range and depth.

The TCL S446 (LCD) and LG NANO75 (LCD) are both only fair for news, talk, & other TV.
The LG NANO75 and TCL S446 both have good upscaling and can handle lower resolution content such as news programs well. However, while the LG NANO75 has somewhat lower contrast and SDR brightness, which are very important for watching news and talk shows, the TCL S446 performs a bit better in these areas.

The LG NANO75 (LCD) and TCL S446 (LCD) are both poor for bright room.
The LG NANO75 struggles in bright rooms due to its poor SDR and HDR brightness and subpar handling of reflections, whereas the TCL S446, despite having fair SDR brightness and good reflections handling, similarly falls short with poor HDR brightness and lower contrast, affecting its overall performance in well-lit environments. Both TVs face challenges with color volume and color gamut, reducing the vibrancy and range of colors in brighter settings.

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.
