Choose the Vizio V-Series '22 if you're seeking a more budget-friendly option with fair overall picture quality, suitable for a variety of content including movies and sports, and you're not overly concerned with gaming performance or bright room viewing. It offers decent color reproduction and motion processing, making it a solid choice for general TV viewing in moderately lit environments. Opt for the TCL R745 if you prioritize gaming and sports content, as it delivers better performance in these areas despite its premium price. It also has a larger screen size at 85 inches, which is great for an immersive experience. However, it's not the best for bright room conditions or wide viewing angles, similar to the Vizio. Both TVs have average sound quality, so consider an external sound system for a better audio experience with either choice. Give Feedback

The Vizio V-Series '22 (LCD) and TCL R745 (LCD) are both poor for movies & TV, though the Vizio V-Series '22 (LCD) is somewhat better.
The TCL R745 struggles with movies and cinematic content due to its lower contrast and poor local dimming, which results in lackluster black uniformity, thus affecting dark scene reproduction. The Vizio V-Series '22, while it offers better contrast, still has inadequate local dimming and black uniformity, compromising its ability to properly display deep blacks essential for a rich movie-watching experience.

The TCL R745 (LCD) is good for gaming, while the Vizio V-Series '22 (LCD) is poor.
The TCL R745 is better for gaming because it has the highest response time and input lag scores, which means it reacts more quickly to your actions and displays moving images more smoothly, and it operates at a 120Hz refresh rate ensuring a more fluid gaming experience. In contrast, the Vizio V-Series '22, while having a decent input lag score, falls short with a lower response time score and operates at a 60Hz refresh rate, making it less ideal for fast-paced gaming.

The Vizio V-Series '22 (LCD) is only fair for cartoons & animation, while the TCL R745 (LCD) is poor.
The TCL R745 displays colors less accurately from the start, which can make animations look less vibrant and consistent; this is further impacted by its limited color gamut and volume. Conversely, the Vizio V-Series '22 offers excellent color accuracy right out of the box and a wider color gamut, making it more suitable for watching content where color integrity, like cartoons and animation, is important.

The TCL R745 (LCD) and Vizio V-Series '22 (LCD) are both only fair for sports.
The TCL R745 is equipped with better reflection handling which might enhance the sports watching experience in bright rooms, but it has a narrower viewing angle which could be limiting when watching with a large group. The Vizio V-Series '22, on the other hand, offers a wider viewing angle favorable for group viewings, however, its poorer reflection handling can reduce visibility in well-lit conditions; moreover, both TVs have similar response times and motion processing capabilities that are adequate for watching sports but not exceptional.

Although they have very similar scores, PerfectRec considers TCL R745 (LCD) to be only fair for news, talk, & other TV, while the Vizio V-Series '22 (LCD) is poor.
The TCL R745 is considered fair for watching news and TV programs as it can upscale lower resolution content well and has decent SDR brightness to handle most lighting conditions.

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.
