The Vizio Quantum Pro is a solid choice for a 65-inch TV with a more budget-friendly price tag, offering excellent gaming capabilities, good overall picture quality, and decent performance in a bright room. Its local dimming feature enhances contrast, and it supports a wide color gamut for vibrant colors in HDR content. However, it may not impress those looking for top-tier sports or animation content, and its viewing angles and sound quality are just average. On the other hand, the TCL R745, while pricier, delivers a massive 85-inch screen with a standout color volume, making HDR content pop. It's also a good pick for gaming due to its low input lag. However, its performance falls short in dark rooms, and the picture quality degrades when viewed from an angle. Additionally, it lacks local dimming, which can affect contrast, and its motion handling isn't as refined as the Vizio. In summary, if you prioritize gaming and a large screen with vibrant HDR colors within a midrange budget, the Vizio Quantum Pro is the way to go. But if you want a much larger screen and superior color performance for HDR content and are willing to pay a premium, consider the TCL R745, keeping in mind its limitations in dark room settings and narrower viewing angles.

The Vizio Quantum Pro (LCD) is only fair for movies & TV, while the TCL R745 (LCD) is poor.
The TCL R745 suffers in watching movies and cinematic TV because it lacks local dimming and has poor black uniformity, leading to lower contrast and less immersive dark scenes, which are very important for these types of content. The Vizio Quantum Pro, while better, is still not ideal with fair local dimming and black uniformity that can affect contrast but has better color volume and gray uniformity, making it more suitable for movies and cinematic content.

The Vizio Quantum Pro (LCD) is very good for gaming, while the TCL R745 (LCD) is good.
The Vizio Quantum Pro (LCD) is rated very good for gaming, likely due to its stronger performance in response time and input lag, which are crucial for gaming experiences, while the TCL R745 (LCD) shows just fair performance in these areas, making it good but not as exceptional for gaming as the Vizio model.

The Vizio Quantum Pro (LCD) is good for cartoons & animation, while the TCL R745 (LCD) is poor.
The TCL R745 doesn't perform as well for cartoons and animation because it has less accurate colors straight out of the box and a fair color gamut, which means it might not display the wide range of vivid colors typically used in animations. In contrast, the Vizio Quantum Pro is better suited for these types of content with very good performance in both colors out of the box and color gamut, resulting in more precise and vibrant color reproduction for animated visuals.

The Vizio Quantum Pro (LCD) and TCL R745 (LCD) are both only fair for news, talk, & other TV, though the Vizio Quantum Pro (LCD) is somewhat better.
The TCL R745 has a poor SDR brightness and no local dimming, which can affect its ability to display vibrant news programs in bright rooms, while its decent upscaling ensures lower resolution content is displayed clearly. On the other hand, the Vizio Quantum Pro delivers very good SDR brightness and has local dimming, which helps with deeper blacks and contrast in brighter rooms, but its upscaling is less impressive, potentially leading to less clarity in lower resolution content.

The Vizio Quantum Pro (LCD) is good for bright room, while the TCL R745 (LCD) is poor.
The TCL R745 struggles in bright rooms due to its poor SDR and HDR brightness and its good capability to handle reflections is not enough to compensate. In contrast, the Vizio Quantum Pro performs well in bright spaces, thanks to its very good SDR and HDR brightness and very good reflection handling, which work together to provide a clear viewing experience even in well-lit conditions.

The Vizio Quantum Pro (LCD) and TCL R745 (LCD) are both only fair for sports.
The TCL R745 has a fair response time and handles reflections well, making it suitable for watching sports in rooms with some light, but its motion processing could be better, impacting fast-paced scenes. The Vizio Quantum Pro, while having very good response time beneficial for action-packed sports, its reflections handling is not quite as strong, which may reduce visibility in brighter environments. Both TVs have decent viewing angles and are somewhat close in gray uniformity, with neither being a standout feature.

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.
