If you prioritize gaming and have a higher budget, the Vizio Quantum Pro is a better choice with superior gaming performance, but it may not be worth the extra cost if you don't game often. For general content like movies, sports, and TV shows, the Vizio also offers better quality, especially in bright rooms. However, if you are looking to save money, the TCL S470G provides decent performance for its budget-friendly price, though it won't match the Vizio's performance in dark or very bright environments. Both TVs support HDR and have built-in voice commands, but the Vizio includes more advanced features like Dolby Vision and is better suited for use as a monitor. Give Feedback

The Vizio Quantum Pro (LCD) is only fair for movies & TV, while the TCL S470G (LCD) is poor.
The TCL S470G's poor performance in movies and cinematic TV is due to its low contrast and poor local dimming capabilities, which result in less vivid images and diminished dark scene details, despite having good colors out of the box. On the other hand, the Vizio Quantum Pro fares better with a higher contrast and better local dimming, offering richer dark scene presentation and overall more vibrant colors, although its out-of-the-box colors are less accurate than the TCL S470G but still decent.

The Vizio Quantum Pro (LCD) is very good for gaming, while the TCL S470G (LCD) is poor.
The TCL S470G has a poor response time, which can cause motion blur during fast-paced games, while its best input lag performance is beneficial for quicker reactions in gaming. On the other hand, the Vizio Quantum Pro offers very good response time, reducing motion blur, and its input lag performance is good, which still provides responsive gaming but not as fast as the TCL S470G in that aspect.

The Vizio Quantum Pro (LCD) is good for cartoons & animation, while the TCL S470G (LCD) is poor.
The Vizio Quantum Pro (LCD) is better for watching cartoons and animation compared to the TCL S470G (LCD) because it delivers a very good color gamut, meaning a wider range of colors, and has excellent color accuracy right out of the box. In contrast, the TCL S470G offers only good performance in these areas, which can result in less vivid and accurate colors for animated content.

The Vizio Quantum Pro (LCD) is only fair for news, talk, & other TV, while the TCL S470G (LCD) is poor.
The TCL S470G has a lower SDR brightness and less effective upscaling which can make standard definition content appear grainy and dull, which isn't ideal for news and talk shows. The Vizio Quantum Pro, on the other hand, performs better with higher SDR brightness and more accurate colors out of the box, enhancing clarity and vibrancy for such content.

The Vizio Quantum Pro (LCD) is good for bright room, while the TCL S470G (LCD) is poor.
The TCL S470G struggles in bright rooms due to its lower SDR and HDR brightness and fair reflection handling, meaning it doesn't get very bright and reflects more ambient light. In contrast, the Vizio Quantum Pro is better suited for bright rooms with higher brightness ratings and excellent reflection handling, providing a clearer picture with less glare from light sources.

The Vizio Quantum Pro (LCD) and TCL S470G (LCD) are both only fair for sports.
Both the TCL S470G and Vizio Quantum Pro are rated the same for watching sports; however, the Vizio handles reflections better and has superior motion processing, which can be crucial during fast-paced games. While the TCL has slightly better gray uniformity, which affects the appearance of a uniform color across the screen, this is less important for sports content than the Vizio's strengths in reflection handling and motion clarity.

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.
About Vizio
Vizio is an American company. While they initially gained recognition for offering budget-friendly TVs, they have successfully expanded their product lineup to include high-end options as well. They manufacture TVs primarily in Mexico, China, and Vietnam. Similar to many Korean TV brands, Vizio developed its own smart TV software called SmartCast. In the past, SmartCast was not the best smart TV software, but it has evolved so that it is now good for using your TV and connecting to streaming services.
