The TCL Q7 offers a better overall experience, with superior motion handling and gaming features, making it a good choice for fast-moving content such as sports or video games. It also has a higher brightness level, which is beneficial for watching in bright rooms. However, it comes with a higher price tag. In contrast, the Vizio MQ6 '23 is more affordable while still offering good performance for mixed usage, but it may not be as well-suited for gaming or viewing in very bright environments due to its lower refresh rate and brightness.

The TCL Q7 (LCD) and Vizio MQ6 '23 (LCD) are both good for movies & TV.
The TCL Q7 stands out with its impressive contrast and black uniformity, which makes for a great cinematic experience, especially in darker rooms, while the Vizio MQ6 '23 offers good color accuracy straight out of the box and solid black levels that can enhance movie-watching as well. However, both may have limitations in rooms with wide seating arrangements due to their viewing angles and less than stellar performance in very bright environments.

The TCL Q7 (LCD) and Vizio MQ6 '23 (LCD) are both only fair for sports.
The TCL Q7's fair response time and poor reflections management might cause some blur during fast sports scenes and difficulty in well-lit rooms, while its good motion processing and fair viewing angles don't optimize the sports-watching experience from various positions. On the other hand, the Vizio MQ6 '23 has a fair response time and fair reflections handling, which could also result in motion blur and reflections issues, combined with its low score in motion processing and narrower viewing angles that limit the view from the side.

The TCL Q7 stands out for its vibrant colors right out of the box and has a good color gamut, making cartoons and animation look lively without needing adjustments. The Vizio MQ6 '23 also offers very good color gamut with solid colors out of the box, and while both TVs perform well in these aspects, the TCL Q7 has a slight edge in out-of-the-box color settings.

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.
