The LG UP7000 may typically cost a bit more than the Vizio MQ6 '23 and is likely better for watching sports and in bright rooms. But, it might not perform as well for gaming and doesn't support voice commands which the Vizio does. If gaming is a priority, or you're looking for a budget-friendly option with voice command functionality, the Vizio MQ6 '23 could be the better choice. On the other hand, if you frequently watch sports or view TV in well-lit rooms, you may prefer the LG UP7000. Give Feedback

The Vizio MQ6 '23 (LCD) is only fair for gaming, while the LG UP7000 (LCD) is poor.
The LG UP7000 has a poor response time which can result in motion blur during fast-paced gaming scenes, but it offers lower input lag, which means less delay between a controller’s input and the action appearing on screen. In contrast, the Vizio MQ6 '23 has a fair response time, providing smoother motion but has slightly higher input lag, which could introduce a small delay in responsiveness when gaming.

The Vizio MQ6 '23 (LCD) is good for cartoons & animation, while the LG UP7000 (LCD) is poor.
The LG UP7000 has poor performance in terms of colors out of the box, color gamut, and color volume, which are crucial for vibrant and accurate animation viewing, while the Vizio MQ6 '23 shows a better grasp on these aspects with good and very good scores, translating to more pleasant color renditions for animation content. Additionally, the LG UP7000's lower gray uniformity and contrast could lead to less defined animation scenes compared to the Vizio MQ6, which has higher contrast and gray uniformity, providing better viewing experiences for cartoons and animation.
