If you're looking for a more affordable option, the TCL Q6 could be suitable, but it has lower performance in a dark room and with gaming content. On the other hand, the Vizio Quantum Pro, while more expensive, offers better picture quality overall, better gaming performance, and stronger performance in a bright room. Both are 65 inches and have similar features like voice commands and support for Dolby Vision and HDR10+, but the Vizio has a higher number of HDMI ports and a more advanced 120Hz screen compared to TCL's 60Hz, which could be important for gaming and high-motion content.

The Vizio Quantum Pro (LCD) and TCL Q6 (LCD) are both only fair for sports.
The TCL Q6 has weaker response time and motion processing compared to the Vizio Quantum Pro, making the latter a slightly better choice for sports where these attributes are very important. However, the Vizio model is also stronger in reflections handling and viewing angles, which are crucial for bright rooms and wide seating arrangements; yet, both TVs show average gray uniformity, which might affect viewing when large areas of color are displayed.

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.
