The Samsung Q60B (LCD) is very good for cartoons & animation, while the TCL S470G (LCD) is poor.
The Samsung Q60B delivers bright, vibrant colors straight out of the box and offers a wider color gamut, which is critical for animated content where vivid, varied colors enhance the viewing experience. The TCL S470G, while decent in color reproduction, falls short in both initial color setup and the range of colors it can display, leading to a less impressive portrayal of cartoons and animations.

The Samsung Q60B (LCD) is good for news, talk, & other TV, while the TCL S470G (LCD) is poor.
The Samsung Q60B is more suited for watching news and talk shows as it has better upscaling to make lower-resolution content look crisper and exhibits higher SDR brightness, making it perform well in typical lighting conditions. In contrast, the TCL S470G falls short in these areas, providing a less refined upscaling quality and lower brightness, which can affect the visibility and clarity of content in bright rooms.

The Samsung Q60B (LCD) is good for bright room, while the TCL S470G (LCD) is poor.
The Samsung Q60B outperforms the TCL S470G in a bright room because it has a very good SDR brightness and fair HDR brightness, which help maintain picture clarity under bright conditions, whereas the TCL S470G has poor SDR and HDR brightness, making its display appear dimmer in well-lit spaces. Additionally, the Samsung Q60B is capable of handling reflections better than the TCL S470G, allowing for clearer viewing with less distraction from ambient light.

The Samsung Q60B (LCD) and TCL S470G (LCD) are both only fair for sports.
The Samsung Q60B is better suited for watching sports than the TCL S470G due to its superior motion processing and better handling of reflections, which is crucial in maintaining clear images during fast action and in bright rooms. However, the TCL S470G offers wider viewing angles which might be preferable in a setup where viewers are spread out around the room, despite its limitations in motion handling and reflection performance.

The TCL S470G (LCD) and Samsung Q60B (LCD) are both poor for gaming.
The Samsung Q60B and TCL S470G are both considered poor for gaming because their response times have been assessed as poor, which can lead to motion blur during fast-paced games.

How the Samsung Q60B (LCD) and the TCL S470G (LCD) compare to other TVs
"Samsung's 2022 QLED workhorse shines in bright rooms and with HDR. The Samsung Q60B stands out from the slew of entry-level TVs with an ultra-thin frame, a skinny profile from the side and even narrow stand legs. The Q60B is a very good bright-room TV, and my subjective impression of its ample light output was proven by measurements."
"On the bright side the S4 does have great viewing angles that can make it an excellent family TV. It has great color coverage, its input lag is extremely low, it supports Dolby Vision and comes with Google TV."
