If you're on a tight budget, the Toshiba C350LU is less expensive and provides good upscaling and viewing angles, which are beneficial for watching content from various sources and angles. However, it doesn't perform well in bright rooms and has poor overall picture quality. On the other hand, the Vizio V-Series '22 offers slightly better performance in dark room settings and motion processing, which might be noticeable when watching fast-paced sports or playing video games, but it also struggles with picture quality in bright rooms and does not excel in contrast or local dimming. Both models support voice commands and have a limited number of HDMI ports, which could impact the number of devices you can connect simultaneously. Neither is particularly strong in sound quality; consider a separate sound system or soundbar if audio is important to you. Choose the Toshiba for the best value for money if your viewing conditions are flexible, or opt for the Vizio if you can afford to spend more for marginally better performance in some areas.
