If you are on a budget and prefer a TV that's less expensive, the TCL S470G is a more affordable option. This TV may perform better for gaming but isn't ideal for watching content in dark rooms due to its lower dark room performance. It also has a slightly lower overall picture quality compared to the TCL R745. The TCL R745, on the other hand, costs more but offers a larger screen size and better overall picture quality. It's a good fit for watching sports and has superior motion processing, which could improve your viewing experience for fast-paced content. However, it has no gaming advantages like a higher refresh rate. Both models have their strengths in sound quality and multiple HDMI ports but neither comes with great built-in speakers.

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.
