The TCL Q7 is typically more expensive but comes with better overall picture quality, which makes it a better choice for varied content like gaming, movies, and sports. It has higher contrast, better brightness in both standard and high dynamic range (HDR) content, and superior color performance, providing a more vibrant and immersive viewing experience. It's also better for dark room viewing and comes with four HDMI ports, which could be beneficial if you have multiple devices to connect. On the other hand, while the TCL S470G is less expensive, it has lower picture quality and might not perform as well in comparison, especially in dark rooms due to lower contrast and black uniformity. However, it has a decent score for use as a monitor, and it supports HDR, making it suitable for basic TV watching, news, and perhaps cartoons and animations, all at a budget price. If you value a higher quality viewing experience for a variety of content and are willing to pay more, the TCL Q7 would be the better choice. If budget is a primary concern and you're mainly watching standard TV content in brighter rooms, the TCL S470G would be more cost-effective. Give Feedback

The TCL Q7 offers a very good response time and good input lag, which is essential for fast-paced gaming, while the TCL S470G, with its poor response time and best input lag score, may not be as responsive to quick on-screen changes, making it less suitable for demanding gaming despite its low input lag.

The TCL Q7 (LCD) is good for cartoons & animation, while the TCL S470G (LCD) is poor.
The TCL Q7 is considered good for watching cartoons & animation due to its fair "Colors Out of the Box" performance, which results in accurate color representation without the need for additional calibration, and also benefits from a good color gamut that ensures a wide range of colors. On the other hand, the TCL S470G, while also having good color gamut, scores poorly in "Colors Out of the Box", indicating that colors may not be as accurate or vibrant, making it less suitable for content where color performance is crucial, such as animation.

The TCL Q7 (LCD) and TCL S470G (LCD) are both only fair for sports.
The TCL Q7's stronger motion processing and faster response time contribute to clearer action during sports; however, its limited viewing angles and poor handling of reflections might be drawbacks in a bright room or for viewers sitting off to the side. On the other side, the TCL S470G's better viewing angles benefit wider seating arrangements, but its weaker motion processing and slower response time could make fast-moving sports appear blurrier.

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.
