TCL S3 40-inch
Score: 69/100Rankings
The VIZIO 50-inch V-Series offers Full Array LED backlighting with Dolby Vision HDR and sub-10 ms gaming latency, backed by Wi-Fi 6 and Bluetooth connectivity. Its 60 Hz refresh rate and lack of advanced HDMI 2.1 features keep it from high-end gaming or future-proof setups. Best suited for budget-conscious viewers who want solid 4K picture and low-lag gaming.
The TCL 40-inch S3 is a compact 1080p Smart TV powered by Google TV, offering low-lag Game Mode and built-in Google Assistant. Its limited 4K resolution and modest HDR performance may disappoint users seeking higher picture quality. Best suited for budget-conscious viewers needing a small secondary screen.

Everyday users generally praise the TV's easy setup, Wi-Fi 6 streaming performance, and the convenience of the voice remote and built-in apps. Complaints are limited but focus on the modest HDMI feature set and the scarcity of detailed user reviews.
Professional reviewers note that the TCL 40S350G delivers uniform Direct LED brightness and low input lag, making it a competent 1080p streaming and casual-gaming TV.
