Our Verdict
Vizio E Series 2018
TCL 4 Series 2019
The Vizio E Series 2018 is better than the TCL 4 Series 2019. The Vizio can get much brighter and has a local dimming feature to improve dark room performance. It also includes an optional black frame insertion feature that can help make motion crisper. The TCL has a lower input lag, which is great for playing video games.
