If you frequently play video games or plan to use the TV as a computer monitor, you may prefer the TCL S470G as it offers better response time and lower input lag, which means less delay between your actions and what you see onscreen. However, if you often watch sports, the Toshiba C350LU might be a slightly better option with marginally better motion handling. Both TVs have a good viewing angle, which is useful when watching with a group. In bright rooms, neither TV is ideal, but if you need slightly better performance in well-lit conditions, you may lean towards the TCL for its marginally better reflection handling. For sound quality, both have basic speakers, so you might consider investing in a separate sound system for a more immersive audio experience. Keep in mind that both have limitations when it comes to picture quality, so if you're looking for a TV with great picture performance, you may have to increase your budget. Give Feedback

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.
