The Vizio MQ6 is decent for most uses. It's decent for watching movies in dark rooms because it has an outstanding native contrast and fantastic black uniformity, but there's no local dimming. It has a few gaming features like FreeSync support and low input lag, but motion looks blurry due to the slow response time. It's okay for watching sports as it has good reflection handling, but it has narrow viewing angles. Although it displays a wide color gamut, it's just okay for watching HDR content because it doesn't get bright enough to make highlights pop.

PROS

• High native contrast and fantastic black uniformity.
• Good reflection handling.
• You can cast anything using Google Chromecast or Apple AirPlay 2.

CONS

• No local dimming feature.
• Visible issues with gray uniformity on our unit.
• Doesn't get bright in SDR or HDR.

The TCL R635 is a very good overall TV. It's great for watching movies in dark rooms thanks to its fantastic contrast ratio, but sadly its local dimming feature causes blooming around bright objects. HDR content looks great as the TV displays a wide color gamut, and it gets bright enough to make highlights pop. It also has great gaming features like a quick response time and VRR support, but it doesn't have HDMI 2.1 support. It's good for watching sports and shows in bright rooms, but it has narrow viewing angles if you have a wide seating arrangement.

PROS

• Fantastic contrast ratio.
• Excellent SDR peak brightness.
• Easy-to-use Roku interface.
• Displays wide color gamut for HDR content.

CONS

• Mini LED local dimming is mediocre.
• Narrow viewing angles.
• Uniformity issues.
