If budget is a concern, the TCL S555 may be a good choice as it costs less and still delivers solid overall performance for movies and gaming. It's also well-suited for watching cartoons and animation. However, keep in mind that this model may not be as bright as others, potentially affecting its performance in very sunny rooms. In contrast, the Vizio Quantum Pro is typically more expensive, but it offers better gaming performance and a higher brightness, which may improve viewing in bright rooms. It also has a superior reflection handling, wider color gamut, and better color volume. Note that its lower contrast may affect dark room performance. The Vizio also supports Dolby Vision, Dolby Atmos, and DTS:X, making it a strong choice if you value advanced audio and video formats. Give Feedback

The Vizio Quantum Pro (LCD) and TCL S555 (LCD) are both only fair for sports.
The TCL S555 has good response time but poor handling of reflections and a limited viewing angle, elements that are crucial for sports watching. The Vizio Quantum Pro, on the other hand, boasts very good reflections handling and a better viewing angle, counterweighted by a lower motion processing capability, influencing its sports viewing experience.

Although they have very similar scores, PerfectRec considers TCL S555 (LCD) to be good for news, talk, & other TV, while the Vizio Quantum Pro (LCD) is only fair.
The TCL S555 excels in upscaling, which is crucial for enhancing lower-resolution content commonly found in news and talk shows, and also delivers very good SDR brightness to ensure that programs are clearly visible even in well-lit rooms. The Vizio Quantum Pro, while offering very good SDR brightness as well, has lower performance in upscaling and color accuracy directly out of the box, which may result in less optimal viewing of standard definition content like news programs.

"It looks great out of the box and the picture quality it is rock-solid for the price. (...) What really makes this a decent gaming TV, though, is the very low input lag. (...) But if you want to save a little money, the TCL S555 strikes a great balance between cost and performance – the kind of performance that’s impressive enough to deliver some wow to your eyes. (...)"

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.
