LG UP7000 (LCD) vs Vizio MQ6 '23 (LCD)

The LG UP7000 has lower contrast, lacks local dimming, and has poorer black uniformity, which makes it less suitable for movies and cinematic TV, creating less deep blacks and less detailed dark scenes. In contrast, the Vizio MQ6 '23 boasts better contrast, effective local dimming, and excellent black uniformity, offering a richer, more immersive viewing experience with deeper blacks and more consistent colors.

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 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.

The LG UP7000 struggles with upscaling and has poor SDR brightness, which can impact clarity and visibility when watching news and TV programs, particularly in brighter rooms. In contrast, the Vizio MQ6 '23 performs well with upscaling and offers good SDR brightness, enhancing the viewing experience in various lighting conditions with more vibrant and consistent colors.

The LG UP7000 is challenged in sports viewing by a poor response time and average reflections handling; however, it benefits from better viewing angles than the Vizio MQ6 '23. Conversely, the Vizio MQ6 '23, while also having fair response time which affects motion clarity, struggles more with narrow viewing angles but has an edge in reflections handling compared to the LG.

The LG UP7000 struggles in bright rooms due to its fair SDR brightness and reflections handling, and performs poorly with HDR content, while the Vizio MQ6 '23 manages somewhat better with good SDR brightness and fair handling of reflections but also has poor HDR brightness, providing a somewhat clearer picture in well-lit environments.
