Yes for most shoppers. You get a much larger screen, Dolby Vision, Dolby Atmos and an extra HDMI port for $87.96 less at the prices dated November 4, 2026.

Which has better gaming features?

The Toshiba M450. It lists ALLM, VRR and eARC across four HDMI ports. The TCL offers Auto Game Mode with reduced input lag but no listed VRR.

Which has better sound?

The Toshiba on paper, with Dolby Atmos and REGZA Power Audio speakers. Note that some Toshiba owners still call the sound horrible, so a soundbar helps either set.

Hard to say from ratings alone. The Toshiba scores higher (4.6 from 144 ratings vs 4 from 48), but one Toshiba buyer reported a PS5 HDMI crash.
