If you're prioritizing overall picture quality for a variety of content and a more refined streaming experience, the Vizio V-Series might suit you better. However, the LG UP7000 has a higher gaming score, which could make it a better choice if gaming is important to you, but it won't perform as well in dark rooms. The Vizio V-Series offers a higher contrast, which may enhance your movie viewing in darker environments. For a bright room, the LG UP7000 has a slight edge, but the difference might be minimal. If budget is a concern, the Vizio comes at a lower price and might offer better value for day-to-day usage, especially if you watch a lot of news, talk shows, and animations, whereas the LG UP7000 could be more expensive.

The Vizio V-Series (LCD) is only fair for movies & TV, while the LG UP7000 (LCD) is poor.
The LG UP7000 is poor for movies and cinematic TV because it has a low contrast ratio, lacks local dimming, and exhibits poor black uniformity, which leads to less detailed dark scenes. The Vizio V-Series, while rated fair, still falls short with limited viewing angles and gray uniformity, but it offers better contrast and black uniformity than the LG UP7000, resulting in more defined shadows in dark areas.

The Vizio V-Series (LCD) is good for cartoons & animation, while the LG UP7000 (LCD) is poor.
The LG UP7000 scores poorly in both colors out of the box and color gamut, meaning it may not display the vibrant and diverse colors typically desired for cartoons and animation, while the Vizio V-Series is rated very good for colors out of the box, ensuring more accurate and lively colors from the start, even though both have limitations in color volume and gamut which could affect the full range of colors displayed.

The LG UP7000 (LCD) and Vizio V-Series (LCD) are both only fair for sports.
The LG UP7000 has a better response time and wider viewing angles, making it suitable for watching sports with a group, but its poor motion processing and reflection handling can be distracting during fast action scenes. The Vizio V-Series, while it has a better motion processing rating, suffers from a narrower viewing angle and only fair reflection handling, which could limit the quality of viewing sports in well-lit rooms or with larger groups. Both TVs have fair gray uniformity, which could affect the appearance of playing fields or court surfaces during sports broadcasts.

The LG UP7000 (LCD) and Vizio V-Series (LCD) are both poor for gaming.
The LG UP7000 and the Vizio V-Series are both considered poor for gaming since they have low response time scores, which can cause motion blur, and although they have high input lag scores, indicating low lag, their refresh rates are limited to 60Hz, which isn't ideal for fast-paced gaming.

Although they have very similar scores, PerfectRec considers Vizio V-Series (LCD) to be only fair for news, talk, & other TV, while the LG UP7000 (LCD) is poor.
The LG UP7000 struggles with upscaling and has poor SDR brightness, making it less suitable for news and talk shows, which can lead to lower picture quality when viewing non-HD content in brightly lit rooms. On the other hand, the Vizio V-Series offers better colors out of the box and a wider color gamut that can enhance the viewing experience of TV programs, but it still has limitations in SDR brightness and no local dimming to improve contrast.

The LG UP7000 (LCD) and Vizio V-Series (LCD) are both poor for bright room.
The LG UP7000 struggles with bright room viewing primarily due to its limited SDR and HDR brightness and average reflection handling, which make it less effective in combating glare and maintaining visibility in well-lit environments. The Vizio V-Series faces similar challenges, as its poor SDR brightness and reflection handling can lead to a washed-out picture in bright rooms, despite its marginally better contrast and color volume which are less critical factors for this specific use case.

CNET
Geoffrey Morrison | June 2021
"Vizio's cheapest 4K HDR TV packs in a lot for a low price. The voice control via the remote works well, about as well as Roku's version on devices that have it. So if you know your way around a TV menu, or want to be able to dial in the picture even on an inexpensive TV, the Vizio is the better choice"
