If you're on a tight budget and mostly watch news, talk shows, or cartoons, the Vizio D-Series '22 could be suitable and will save you money. However, its performance in bright rooms is not ideal and it has poor gaming capabilities. On the other hand, if you're willing to invest more for an overall better viewing experience, consider the TCL Q7, which offers very good gaming and movie-watching experiences, better brightness and color quality, and supports advanced features such as high dynamic range formats like Dolby Vision. Keep in mind though that the TCL Q7 has a poorer viewing angle, so it's not the best choice for wide seating arrangements. 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.
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.
