The LG A2 is an OLED TV that offers superior picture quality, especially in dark rooms where its perfect black levels shine. It has wide viewing angles, making it suitable for wider seating arrangements. It's great for watching movies and series thanks to its high overall picture quality. However, OLED screens can have the risk of burn-in with static images and may not be as bright in sunny rooms. The Vizio P-Series is an LCD TV that is less expensive and better for gaming due to its lower input lag and higher refresh rate. Its performance in bright rooms is better than the LG A2. While it has high contrast, it falls short in viewing angles and may not provide as uniform grays and blacks as the LG A2. Choose the LG A2 if you prioritize movie-watching in darker environments and don't mind a higher price. If you prefer gaming, a brighter room setting, and want to save money, the Vizio P-Series is a good choice. Give Feedback

Al Griffin | August 2022
"Movie fans will find a lot here to love, and the A2 series’ low prices compared with other OLED TVs will keep their wallets happy. Images had the deep blacks and detailed shadows typical of the best 4K TVs, while colors looked both fully saturated and clean. Also, the A2’s out-of-box picture performance in Filmmaker mode was mostly accurate, requiring only slight adjustments to optimize brightness, color, and contrast."

"We were even more pleased to see that performance had improved across the board, with the display offering better color, brightness, and shorter lag times than the already excellent Roku model. Color accuracy was great right out of the box. The TCL 5-Series Google TV becomes a great option for demanding gamers."
