If you're prioritizing spending less and having voice commands for convenience, the TCL S470G would be a great choice. However, be aware that it may not have as good picture quality and performance as the LG UP8000. On the other hand, if you're willing to invest more for an overall better viewing experience for movies, sports, and gaming, and don't need voice commands, then the LG UP8000 would be a better fit. Neither TV is optimal for very bright rooms, but they both have a 60Hz panel and support 4k resolution which is suitable for everyday watching and gaming. Give Feedback

The LG UP8000 (LCD) is only fair for news, talk, & other TV, while the TCL S470G (LCD) is poor.
The LG UP8000 is rated higher than the TCL S470G when it comes to upscaling and SDR brightness, which are very important for watching news and talk shows; this ensures that lower resolution content appears clearer and the screen is bright enough to see in most lighting conditions. Although both TVs display colors decently out of the box, the LG UP8000's strengths in contrast and its ability to handle reflections better than the TCL S470G contribute to a clearer and more consistent viewing experience for typical TV programming.

The LG UP8000 (LCD) and TCL S470G (LCD) are both poor for bright room, though the LG UP8000 (LCD) is somewhat better.
The LG UP8000 struggles in bright rooms due to only fair SDR brightness and good but not excellent performance in handling reflections, while the TCL S470G performs even worse with poor SDR brightness and only fair reflection handling. Additionally, the poor HDR brightness of both TVs contributes to their subpar performance in bright environments, despite the decent contrast and color capabilities of each set.

The LG UP8000 (LCD) and TCL S470G (LCD) are both poor for movies & TV.
The LG UP8000 struggles with movies and cinematic TV due to a lower contrast ratio and the absence of local dimming which prevents it from producing deep blacks, essential for dark scenes. In contrast, the TCL S470G fares worse in these aspects with an even lower contrast ratio and subpar black uniformity, leading to washed-out dark scenes which can be particularly noticeable when watching movies.

The LG UP8000 (LCD) and TCL S470G (LCD) are both only fair for sports.
The LG UP8000 has a fair response time and motion processing, which is essential for watching fast-paced sports, and it handles reflections well, ensuring that the screen remains visible in brightly lit environments. In contrast, the TCL S470G has a poor response to motion, which may result in more noticeable blur during fast-moving scenes, but it also manages reflections adequately and has a similar viewing angle to the LG UP8000, meaning it will also offer a consistent picture when viewed from different positions.

The LG UP8000 (LCD) and TCL S470G (LCD) are both poor for gaming.
The LG UP8000 performs inadequately for gaming as its response time is fair, which may lead to motion blur, and although it has an excellent input lag, this is not sufficient to compensate for the average motion handling. The TCL S470G also falls short for gaming due to its poor response time, leading to motion artifacts during fast-paced games, and despite its excellent input lag, the overall gaming performance is hindered by its slow response time.

The LG UP8000 (LCD) and TCL S470G (LCD) are both poor for cartoons & animation.
The LG UP8000 is limited by its poor color gamut and poor color volume, affecting the vibrancy and range of colors, crucial for animations. Similarly, the TCL S470G, while having a good color gamut, is held back by only fair color volume and poorer colors out of the box, leading to less accurate color reproduction in cartoons.

Stratos Kampourogiannis | July 2021
"What we liked on this one was the very sharp 4K images it could display, its good up-scaling capabilities, nice viewing angles and extremely low input lag. Lastly the new webOS 6.0 is great even if it needs some time to get your bearings while the redesigned Magic Remote feels fresh even if functionality remains the same."

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.
