The Samsung Frame Series offers a more premium experience with higher overall picture quality, better gaming performance, and superior viewing in both dark and bright rooms compared to the TCL S470G. It also has better reflection handling and a faster response time, which is great for action-packed content and sports. Additionally, the Samsung Frame Series supports advanced features like a 120Hz refresh rate and four HDMI ports. However, the TCL S470G comes at a more budget-friendly price while still offering decent picture quality and sound, including support for various HDR formats. Its 60Hz refresh rate and three HDMI ports may suffice if you are not a heavy gamer or looking to use your TV for intensive action viewing. It also offers voice command features for accessibility. If your budget allows and you prioritize gaming, sports viewing, and performance in various room lighting conditions, the Samsung Frame Series would be the better choice. However, if you are looking for a more affordable option that can handle everyday viewing needs with decent performance, the TCL S470G would be a sensible pick. Give Feedback

The Samsung Frame Series (LCD) and TCL S470G (LCD) are both only fair for sports, though the Samsung Frame Series (LCD) is somewhat better.
The Samsung Frame Series, with its very good response time, handles fast-moving sports without much blur, but its limited viewing angles could reduce picture quality when viewed from the side. The TCL S470G, despite having poor response time which could result in motion blur during sports, may offer wider viewing angles but struggles more with reflections that can be distracting in well-lit rooms.

The Samsung Frame Series (LCD) is good for gaming, while the TCL S470G (LCD) is poor.
The Samsung Frame Series provides a superior gaming experience with a fast response time and a low input lag, especially important for action-packed games, and it features a higher refresh rate of 120Hz for smoother gameplay. On the other hand, the TCL S470G has a slower response time and higher input lag which can make fast-paced gaming less responsive, and its refresh rate is limited to 60Hz which can make fast-moving content less smooth.

The Samsung Frame Series (LCD) is good for news, talk, & other TV, while the TCL S470G (LCD) is poor.
The Samsung Frame Series excels in upscaling lower resolution content and provides very good SDR brightness, making it suitable for watching news and TV programs with clear and consistently bright images. In contrast, the TCL S470G struggles with poor SDR brightness and less effective upscaling, resulting in a less optimal viewing experience for standard definition content such as news and talk shows.

The Samsung Frame Series (LCD) is good for bright room, while the TCL S470G (LCD) is poor.
The Samsung Frame Series performs well in bright rooms due to its very good SDR and fair HDR brightness and good handling of reflections, while the TCL S470G struggles because of its poor SDR and HDR brightness and only fair reflection handling. The contrast, color volume, and color gamut of both TVs are also factors, but their impact on bright room viewing is less pronounced compared to brightness and reflections.

About Samsung
Samsung, a South Korean electronics manufacturer, holds the title of being the largest global TV vendor in terms of units sold. They offer a diverse lineup of TV products that cater to various budget ranges. A notable achievement in recent years is the development of Quantum Dots, a technology that enhances color reproduction, resulting in richer and more vibrant hues. Samsung TVs are well-regarded for their high manufacturing quality and user-friendly software, making them an excellent choice for consumers seeking an intuitive viewing experience.
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.
