The Samsung S95C OLED TV generally costs significantly more than the TCL S470G LCD TV. The Samsung excels in overall picture quality, gaming, sports content, dark room viewing, and bright room viewing, due to its higher scores in these areas. It also has better sound quality and is equipped with OLED technology, which offers deep blacks and a wide viewing angle. However, if you're on a budget and still want a sizeable 65-inch screen, the TCL would be a more economical choice, even though the picture and sound quality, as well as performance in darker and brighter rooms, won't be as impressive as the Samsung.

The Samsung S95C (OLED) is very good for sports, while the TCL S470G (LCD) is only fair.
The Samsung S95C excels in watching sports due to its supremely fast response time and superior motion processing, which ensures smooth action, as well as its ability to minimize reflections, and wide viewing angles. Whereas the TCL S470G, with fair performance in these areas, may show blur in fast moments and is not as forgiving with reflections and off-angle viewing, despite fair gray uniformity which is somewhat important for sports viewing.

The Samsung S95C (OLED) is best in class for gaming, while the TCL S470G (LCD) is poor.
The Samsung S95C stands out for gaming with an OLED screen that offers an excellent response time and low input lag, critical for quick reflex actions in games, and also supports a high refresh rate which makes gameplay smoother. In contrast, the TCL S470G, with an inferior response time and being an LCD at a lower refresh rate, does not respond to gaming inputs as swiftly nor does it handle fast-moving images as well, leading to a less optimal gaming experience.

The Samsung S95C (OLED) is excellent for cartoons & animation, while the TCL S470G (LCD) is poor.
The Samsung S95C OLED presents cartoons and animation with vibrant, accurate colors straight out of the box and a broader color gamut, ensuring a more vivid and lifelike viewing experience. In contrast, the TCL S470G LCD not only has a more limited color gamut, resulting in less saturated colors, but it also performs less impressively with out-of-the-box colors, making animated content appear less dynamic and rich.

The Samsung S95C (OLED) is excellent for news, talk, & other TV, while the TCL S470G (LCD) is poor.
The Samsung S95C excels at watching news and talk shows because it has a superior upscaling capability and adequate brightness for standard definition content, allowing it to deliver clear and detailed visuals. In contrast, the TCL S470G performs poorly due to its lower-quality upscaling and insufficient SDR brightness, which can result in a less than optimal viewing experience for these types of programs.

The Samsung S95C (OLED) is excellent for bright room, while the TCL S470G (LCD) is poor.
The Samsung S95C OLED is excellent for bright rooms due to its very good SDR brightness and best-in-class reflection handling, ensuring clear picture quality even in well-lit conditions. On the other hand, the TCL S470G LCD struggles in bright environments as it has poor SDR brightness and only fair performance with handling reflections, which may result in a washed-out image when there's ambient light.

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.
