If you're on a tight budget and looking for a smaller TV, the Vizio D-Series '22 could serve as an economical choice, but keep in mind that its performance in bright rooms and with gaming content is not ideal. On the other hand, the TCL R745 costs more but offers a larger screen and superior gaming performance. The TCL R745 also supports advanced HDR formats like Dolby Vision and HDR10+, which is beneficial if you watch a lot of movies or high-definition content and want a better color experience, but its picture quality and performance in bright rooms are still considered poor. Both options have their compromises regarding overall picture quality and bright room performance; choosing between them depends significantly on your budget and specific viewing requirements.

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.
