If you're interested in watching cartoons and animations, the Vizio D-Series '22 might serve you better, as it has a good score in that regard, alongside having excellent colors out of the box which can enhance the vibrancy of animated content. However, if you plan to use the TV in rooms with some light, the Vizio falls short with a poor bright room score. The TCL S350G doesn’t stand out in any particular content viewing experience, but it does have a slightly higher speaker power and supports voice commands just like the Vizio. Both TVs are budget-friendly but don't expect strong performance in gaming or sports content, and neither offers advanced features like HDR10+ or Dolby Vision. If you're looking for basic TV functions and will be viewing in predominantly dark settings, the Vizio might be more appealing, but for any other uses, the differences are negligible between the two.

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.
