The TCL Q6 offers better performance for bright rooms and more accurate colors right out of the box. It also has slightly better overall picture quality than the Vizio V-Series '22. However, the V-Series '22 surpasses the Q6 in cartoon and animation viewing, and response times for gaming. Neither model excels in dark room settings or for sports content, but they are similarly priced and both support essential HDR formats like HDR10 and Dolby Vision. Give Feedback

The TCL Q6 (LCD) and Vizio V-Series '22 (LCD) are both only fair for sports.
The TCL Q6 and Vizio V-Series '22 both have issues with reflections and viewing angles which can be problematic during sports viewing, with the TCL Q6 offering fair motion processing but only poor handling of reflections, and the Vizio falling behind with poor motion processing, albeit slightly better reflection handling.

The TCL Q6 (LCD) and Vizio V-Series '22 (LCD) are both poor for gaming.
The TCL Q6 and Vizio V-Series '22 both exhibit subpar performance for gaming due to their fair response time and fair input lag, which are critical for fast-paced gameplay and could cause delays and less smooth motion. Additionally, their 60Hz refresh rates do not provide the smoother visuals preferred for gaming as higher refresh rates can.

The Vizio V-Series '22 (LCD) and TCL Q6 (LCD) are both only fair for cartoons & animation.
The TCL Q6 and Vizio V-Series '22 perform fairly in displaying cartoons & animation partly because they both deliver good color volume, which is important for bringing out vibrant cartoon colors. However, where the TCL Q6 offers poor colors out of the box, requiring calibration for optimal performance, the Vizio excels with excellent colors out of the box, ensuring immediate enjoyment of animated content without the need for adjustments.

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.
