Our Verdict
TCL C Series/C807 2017
Vizio P Series 2018
The Vizio P Series 2018 is much better than the TCL C807. The Vizio P Series has better dark room performance thanks to the full array local dimming feature and much better black uniformity with less clouding. The P Series 2018 has better motion handling; it has a faster response time that produces less motion blur, and it can interpolate lower frame rate content up to 120 Hz. The P Series 2018 also has a better black frame insertion feature that can further improve motion clarity.
