Which has the better picture?

The TCL 43Q51K has the edge on paper. Dolby Vision and HDR10+ adapt scene by scene, and MEMC smooths motion. The VIZIO is also QLED at 4K 60 Hz, so the gap shows most in HDR movies and fast sports.

Is the TCL worth $30 more?

If you watch Dolby Vision content or sport, yes. At $218 versus $188 at Walmart as of November 7, 2026, the extra $30 buys the wider HDR support and motion smoothing.

Which is better for gaming?

Neither is a strong gaming set. Both are 60 Hz panels; the TCL lists a 1 ms response time and MEMC, but neither offers 120 Hz or variable refresh rate.

Can I cast from an iPhone to either?

The VIZIO supports AirPlay 2 and Google Cast. The TCL lists Google Cast and Google TV but no AirPlay, so iPhone mirroring is easier on the VIZIO.

Which is better for a bedroom?

Both are 43-inch sets about 37.6 to 37.7 inches wide, so either fits. The VIZIO saves $30 and has Wi-Fi 6; the TCL adds Dolby Vision for movie nights.

Do I need an account to use the VIZIO?

Yes. VIZIO states a Walmart account is required for smart TV features and updates. The TCL runs Google TV with a Google account.
