The TCL Q7 is less expensive and offers a great value for its cost, but its performance lags behind the Vizio P-Series in certain aspects. The Vizio P-Series, while costing more, generally has superior picture quality, especially in terms of contrast and color accuracy, which is vital for movies and TV shows. If you prioritize gaming, the TCL Q7 has better input lag, making it more responsive, but it doesn't quite match the P-Series in motion handling for fast-paced content like sports. In bright rooms, both TVs may be challenged, and additional factors like reflection handling should also be considered. If budget is a key factor and you need a TV mostly for casual viewing and gaming, the TCL Q7 would suffice. However, if you're willing to invest more for improved picture quality and overall performance, the Vizio P-Series would be preferable. Give Feedback

The Vizio P-Series (LCD) is very good for cartoons & animation, while the TCL Q7 (LCD) is good.
The Vizio P-Series displays cartoons and animations with richer and more varied colors due to its very good color gamut, contrast, and color volume, which are somewhat better than the fair color out-of-the-box performance and good color volume of the TCL Q7. Although both TVs have similar SDR brightness and gray uniformity, the Vizio's advantages in color reproduction make it very good for watching animated content, compared to the TCL which is good in this aspect.

The Vizio P-Series (LCD) is good for news, talk, & other TV, while the TCL Q7 (LCD) is only fair.
The Vizio P-Series performs better with standard dynamic range (SDR) content like news and talk shows due to its superior upscaling capabilities and more vibrant colors straight out of the box, which enhance the overall viewing experience compared to the TCL Q7. However, both TVs have comparably high SDR brightness and good contrast ratios, meaning either can handle well-lit rooms, but the Vizio is likely to provide a clearer and more colorful picture, which is particularly noticeable in these types of programming.

The TCL Q7 (LCD) and Vizio P-Series (LCD) are both good for movies & TV.
The TCL Q7 is well-suited for movies and cinematic TV due to its good contrast, effective local dimming feature, and solid black uniformity which are essential for viewing in dark environments. On the other hand, the Vizio P-Series also excels in displaying movies with its superior contrast, local dimming that enhances the depth of blacks, and commendable color reproduction out of the box, making it a strong choice for cinematic experiences.

The Vizio P-Series (LCD) and TCL Q7 (LCD) are both only fair for sports.
The TCL Q7 and Vizio P-Series both have issues with reflections and limited viewing angles which can affect the sports-viewing experience; the TCL Q7, in particular, has a poor reflections handling which can be troublesome in a bright room, while both TVs display only fair response times which might not be ideal for fast-paced sports action. Additionally, the Vizio P-Series offers better motion processing than the TCL Q7, which could result in a smoother picture during fast-moving scenes.

Although they have very similar scores, PerfectRec considers TCL Q7 (LCD) to be very good for gaming, while the Vizio P-Series (LCD) is good.
The TCL Q7 is rated higher in response time, which means it shows fast-moving content with less blur, and is beneficial for gaming where quick screen updates are crucial. The Vizio P-Series, while still good for gaming, has a lower response time score, indicating it may not be as smooth in portraying rapid movements, but it matches the TCL Q7 in input lag, assuring minimal delay between input from devices and on-screen reaction.

Tom's guide
Brian Westover | October 2021
"We were even more pleased to see that performance had improved across the board, with the display offering better color, brightness, and shorter lag times than the already excellent Roku model. Color accuracy was great right out of the box. The TCL 5-Series Google TV becomes a great option for demanding gamers."

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.
