Score: 74/100Rankings
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.
TCL's 65-inch S5 series delivers a large 4K screen with Dolby Vision, HDR PRO+, and a 120 Hz game accelerator for smooth 1440p gaming. Its 60 Hz native refresh and modest brightness limit premium HDR and 4K-120 performance. Suited for families wanting a big smart TV with decent gaming features at a value price.
