If price is a primary concern and you watch content in dark rooms, the TCL S350R could save you money while still meeting basic viewing needs; however, it struggles with overall picture quality in brighter environments. On the other hand, the TCL S470G, while costing a bit more, offers better color performance and viewing angles, making it a better choice for varied content and room conditions. The S470G also features additional HDMI ports and supports more HDR formats, beneficial for a more advanced viewing experience and future compatibility with a wider range of devices and content.

The TCL S470G (LCD) and TCL S350R (LCD) are both poor for bright room, though the TCL S470G (LCD) is somewhat better.
"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."

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.
