If you prioritize top-tier picture quality and gaming performance, the Samsung S90C is the superior choice, but it comes at a premium price. Its OLED screen also delivers exceptional performance in dark rooms. However, it may not be as bright as some other options, which can be a downside for viewing in very sunny rooms. The TCL S470G, on the other hand, is much more affordable, making it a good budget-friendly option. It has decent overall performance, with reasonable picture quality for the price, and supports various HDR formats. That said, its performance in dark rooms and overall picture quality do not match the Samsung, and gaming is notably less impressive. In short, if price is a key concern and you need a decent TV for mixed usage, the TCL could serve well. If you are willing to invest more for a premium viewing and gaming experience, particularly in darker viewing environments, the Samsung is the better option. Give Feedback

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.
