If you prioritize gaming and watching sports, the LG UR9000 offers a better experience due to its higher sports and gaming performance but comes at a higher price. However, this TV may not be the best option for dark room viewing. The TCL S450G is generally less expensive and provides better picture quality for general viewing and has decent performance for gaming. Despite its lower price, it could work well in brighter settings but might not deliver the same level of picture quality as the LG in very bright rooms. Give Feedback

The LG UR9000 (LCD) and TCL S450G (LCD) are both only fair for sports, though the LG UR9000 (LCD) is somewhat better.
The LG UR9000 has a fair response time which is good for sports; however, its wide viewing angles may result in less accurate colors from the side, and it's only fair at handling reflections, which could be an issue in bright rooms. The TCL S450G, while also having fair reflection handling, offers poorer performance in terms of motion processing and response time, leading to a less clear picture during fast-moving scenes but has better contrast for more vivid colors straight on.

The LG UR9000 (LCD) and TCL S450G (LCD) are both poor for gaming.
The LG UR9000 and TCL S450G both have a poor response time and their displays are limited to a 60Hz refresh rate which is not ideal for gaming that requires quick and fluid on-screen action. Additionally, while both TVs have low input lag, which is good for gaming responsiveness, the slower response time can lead to motion blur, and the lower refresh rate might not handle fast-paced games as smoothly, affecting overall gaming performance.

The LG UR9000 (LCD) and TCL S450G (LCD) are both poor for cartoons & animation.
The LG UR9000 performs poorly in the color gamut aspect which affects the vibrancy and range of colors crucial for animation, while the TCL S450G also falls short in the same category, limiting its ability to display animations vividly. Additionally, both TVs are not rated highly for colors out of the box, implying that without calibration, the colors may not be accurate or appealing, which is especially noticeable when watching cartoons.

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.
