The LG UP7000 (LCD) and TCL Q7 (LCD) are both only fair for sports.
The LG UP7000 has a fair response time, which is crucial for watching fast-paced sports, but it struggles with reflections and offers only an adequate performance at motion processing, which can affect the viewing experience during dynamic scenes. On the other hand, the TCL Q7 also offers fair motion processing and response time, making it equally capable for sports, but its poor handling of reflections and limited viewing angles could be restrictive in bright rooms or for off-center viewing.

Although they have very similar scores, PerfectRec considers TCL Q7 (LCD) to be only fair for news, talk, & other TV, while the LG UP7000 (LCD) is poor.
The LG UP7000 has poor upscaling quality and SDR brightness, which are very important for watching news and talk shows, leading to less clear images on lower resolution content and dimmer pictures. Meanwhile, the TCL Q7 has fair performance in these areas, hence this TV can upscale lower resolution videos better and provide brighter images, which makes for a more enjoyable viewing experience in typical TV programming.

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.
