The Samsung CU7000 offers a higher overall performance compared to the TCL S470G, particularly in motion handling and reflection handling, which makes it a better option for viewing in bright rooms and for fast-moving content like sports. The TCL S470G, though more affordable, may not handle reflections as well and might not be as suitable for brightly lit environments or dynamic scenes. If sound quality is a concern, the Samsung CU7000 also edges out with slightly better audio. Both TVs support convenient voice commands but if high performance and better suitability for various conditions is top priority, and budget is of less concern, the Samsung CU7000 could be the preferable choice.

The Samsung CU7000 (LCD) and TCL S470G (LCD) are both only fair for sports.
The Samsung CU7000 shows a fair response time which is crucial for smooth motion in sports but has poor performance in handling reflections which might be distracting in bright rooms. The TCL S470G, on the other hand, offers a better viewing angle making it easier for a group to watch together but is hampered by its motion processing which can lead to blur during fast-paced sports action.

Although they have very similar scores, PerfectRec considers Samsung CU7000 (LCD) to be only fair for gaming, while the TCL S470G (LCD) is poor.
The Samsung CU7000 offers fair response time and very good input lag, making it suitable for gaming as it allows for quicker reactions and less delay between control inputs and on-screen action. On the other hand, the TCL S470G has poor response time and, despite having the best input lag, its slow pixel transition can detract from gaming by causing motion blur in fast-paced games.

The TCL S470G (LCD) and Samsung CU7000 (LCD) are both poor for cartoons & animation.
The Samsung CU7000 and TCL S470G both perform poorly when it comes to watching cartoons and animation because they have subpar color accuracy right out of the box and a limited color gamut, which is very important for these types of content. Additionally, other somewhat important factors like color volume and gray uniformity are also not strengths for these models, impacting the overall viewing experience for colorful and vibrant cartoon content.

The Samsung CU7000 (LCD) and TCL S470G (LCD) are both poor for bright room.
The Samsung CU7000 and the TCL S470G struggle in bright rooms due to their limited SDR and HDR brightness capabilities and subpar handling of reflections. Furthermore, both TVs offer less-than-ideal contrast and color volume, which are somewhat less critical but still contribute to their overall poor performance in well-lit environments.

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.
