Choosing between the Toshiba C350LU and the Vizio P-Series depends on what you value more. If you are on a tight budget and need a TV, the Toshiba might suit you, but keep in mind that it has poor overall picture quality, which affects how satisfying your viewing experience will be, especially in both dark and bright rooms. Alternatively, if you're willing to invest more for an upper mid-range price, the Vizio P-Series offers significantly better picture quality, particularly with movies and games, and performs well in both bright and dark spaces. It also has a higher refresh rate, which is beneficial for fast-paced content like sports or gaming. However, it has a narrow viewing angle, so the picture quality isn't as good when viewed from the side. Consider your budget, the content you watch the most, and where you'll be placing your TV when making your decision. Give Feedback

"We were even more pleased to see that performance had improved across the board, with the display offering better color, brightness, and shorter lag times than the already excellent Roku model. Color accuracy was great right out of the box. The TCL 5-Series Google TV becomes a great option for demanding gamers."
