The TCL Q7 (LCD) is good for movies & TV, while the Vizio V-Series '22 (LCD) is poor.
The TCL Q7 is better for watching movies and cinematic TV since it has higher contrast and black uniformity, meaning it can display deeper blacks and more distinct shades, which is critical for dark scenes. Conversely, the Vizio V-Series '22 lacks local dimming and has inferior contrast and black uniformity, resulting in grayer blacks and less detailed dark scenes.

The TCL Q7 (LCD) is very good for gaming, while the Vizio V-Series '22 (LCD) is poor.
The TCL Q7 excels in gaming due to its faster response time and lower input lag, which are crucial for a more responsive and immersive gaming experience. In contrast, the Vizio V-Series '22 falls short in gaming performance, primarily because of its slower response time and higher input lag, making it less suitable for fast-paced gaming.

The TCL Q7 (LCD) is good for cartoons & animation, while the Vizio V-Series '22 (LCD) is only fair.
The TCL Q7 exhibits good color performance straight out of the box, meaning it typically displays cartoons and animations with accurate and appealing colors immediately when you start watching. In contrast, the Vizio V-Series '22, although offering excellent colors out of the box, is hampered by a poorer color gamut, which can result in a less vibrant range of colors when viewing animated content.

The TCL Q7 (LCD) is only fair for news, talk, & other TV, while the Vizio V-Series '22 (LCD) is poor.
The TCL Q7 fares better watching news and TV programs due in part to its superior SDR brightness, enhancing visibility in bright rooms, and good upscaling to maintain quality at lower resolutions. The Vizio V-Series '22, while delivering excellent colors directly out of the box, falls behind due to its lower SDR brightness and the absence of local dimming, impacting contrast and detail visibility in various lighting conditions.

The TCL Q7 (LCD) is good for bright room, while the Vizio V-Series '22 (LCD) is poor.
The TCL Q7 performs better in a bright room due to its 'Very Good' SDR Brightness and while it has poor reflection handling, its overall brighter screen helps mitigate bright room challenges. In contrast, the Vizio V-Series '22, although rated 'Fair' in reflections, is rated only 'Fair' in SDR brightness, resulting in poorer performance in well-lit environments.

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.
