If you're looking for better overall picture quality and gaming performance, with a very responsive experience for fast-moving content, the LG QNED90 is the preferred choice. Its strengths are in bright room performance, color accuracy, and response time. However, it comes at a higher price.
On the other hand, the Vizio V-Series is much more budget-friendly but performs less impressively in most viewing conditions, particularly in bright rooms and for gaming. Despite its lower price, it offers good black uniformity which could be beneficial for dark room viewing, but its overall picture quality and gaming experience are not as strong as the LG.

The LG QNED90 (LCD) and Vizio V-Series (LCD) are both only fair for sports, though the LG QNED90 (LCD) is somewhat better.
When watching sports, the LG QNED90's superior motion processing ensures smoother movement on screen, and its wider viewing angles make it easier for groups to watch together compared to the Vizio V-Series, which falters with basic motion processing but is better at minimizing glare from reflections. However, the Vizio V-Series outperforms the LG QNED90 in gray uniformity, which impacts how evenly the screen displays different shades of gray, a somewhat important factor in sports viewing.

The LG QNED90 (LCD) is very good for gaming, while the Vizio V-Series (LCD) is poor.
The LG QNED90 stands out for gaming due to its high response time and input lag scores, which suggest smooth motion and quick feedback for fast-paced games; additionally, it supports a 120Hz refresh rate that benefits gaming fluidity. Conversely, the Vizio V-Series' lower response time score reflects slower transitions between images, and its 60Hz refresh rate isn't as equipped for quick gaming action as the LG's, despite both having very good input lag scores.

The LG QNED90 (LCD) and Vizio V-Series (LCD) are both good for cartoons & animation, though the LG QNED90 (LCD) is somewhat better.
The LG QNED90 stands out for watching cartoons and animation with good colors right out of the box and a good color gamut, ensuring vibrant images. Meanwhile, the Vizio V-Series also delivers very good colors out of the box, but due to its less impressive color gamut, the range of colors may not be as extensive as on the LG QNED90.

The LG QNED90 (LCD) is very good for news, talk, & other TV, while the Vizio V-Series (LCD) is only fair.
The LG QNED90 is better suited for watching news and TV programs as it has very good upscaling to enhance lower resolution content and very good SDR brightness for clear visibility, whereas the Vizio V-Series falls short in SDR brightness, making it less ideal in bright rooms. Additionally, the LG offers good color accuracy straight out of the box and a more expansive color gamut compared to the Vizio V-Series, which though very good in color accuracy, has a limited color range.
