The LG NANO90 offers better performance for gaming due to lower input lag and better response time, making it suitable if you're a gamer. It also handles reflections well and has a good viewing angle, which is great for a room that gets a lot of light or if you usually watch TV with a group.
On the other hand, the Vizio M-Series showcases better overall picture quality, particularly for movies and series, which may be preferable if you're a film enthusiast or binge-watcher. It also offers higher contrast and better black uniformity, advantageous for watching content in darker rooms.
The LG NANO90 is typically somewhat more expensive than the Vizio M-Series, so if budget is a concern and you prioritize movie watching over gaming and bright room performance, the Vizio might be the better choice. However, if you can stretch your budget and value gaming performance and wide viewing angles, the LG could serve you well. Give Feedback

The LG NANO90 (LCD) and Vizio M-Series (LCD) are both only fair for sports, though the LG NANO90 (LCD) is somewhat better.
The LG NANO90 has better motion processing, which is important for watching fast sports but struggles with reflections handling, which can be an issue in bright rooms. The Vizio M-Series has better reflections handling, making it a better choice for bright room viewing, but its motion processing is weaker, potentially leading to more motion blur during fast sports action.

The LG NANO90 (LCD) is very good for gaming, while the Vizio M-Series (LCD) is only fair.
The LG NANO90 offers better gaming performance than the Vizio M-Series because it has a higher response time and input lag score, which are very important for gaming. While both TVs have a very good input lag score, indicating minimal delay between a controller's input and the on-screen reaction, the LG's faster response time means it can display fast-moving images with less blurring, making it a superior choice for fast-paced gaming.

The Vizio M-Series (LCD) is very good for cartoons & animation, while the LG NANO90 (LCD) is poor.
The LG NANO90 struggles with cartoons and animation due to having poor colors out of the box and a fair color gamut, resulting in less vibrant and accurate colors. In contrast, the Vizio M-Series excels with very good performance in both categories, offering richer and more true-to-life colors for animated content.

The Vizio M-Series (LCD) is good for news, talk, & other TV, while the LG NANO90 (LCD) is only fair.
The Vizio M-Series performs better for watching news and talk shows due to its superior contrast and color performance out of the box, which contribute to more vibrant and true-to-life images. In comparison, while the LG NANO90 is decent in upscaling lower resolution content and offers fair SDR brightness, it falls behind in contrast and has poorer color accuracy straight out of the box.

The LG NANO90 (LCD) and Vizio M-Series (LCD) are both only fair for bright room.
The LG NANO90 handles reflections better, which is beneficial in a bright room, but it has a lower contrast which might not produce deep blacks as well as the Vizio M-Series. The Vizio M-Series has higher contrast, offering better black levels for content with darker scenes but isn't as bright in HDR content and handles reflections less effectively, which may impact viewing experience in well-lit environments.
