If you are deciding between the TCL QM8 and the Vizio V-Series '22, consider that the TCL QM8 is more expensive but generally offers a superior picture quality with better contrast, brightness, and color accuracy, which contributes to a more immersive experience for movies and gaming, particularly in dark rooms. However, the Vizio V-Series '22 is more budget-friendly and still provides a decent quality picture that is suitable for everyday TV shows and news, but may not be as bright or as vivid as the TCL QM8, making it less ideal for brightly-lit rooms or for more demanding visual content like high-end gaming or cinema-grade films.

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.
