If you're looking for a more affordable option, the LG UP7000 might be suitable, especially for gaming and sports watching in a bright room. However, its performance in a dark room is not as strong. On the other hand, the Vizio M-Series is generally more expensive but offers better picture quality and a superior movie-watching experience, with better performance in both dark and bright rooms. It has better sound quality and more HDMI ports for connecting additional devices, but it might not be the best for gaming due to higher input lag. Give Feedback

The Vizio M-Series (LCD) is only fair for gaming, while the LG UP7000 (LCD) is poor.
The LG UP7000 has a poor response time, which can result in motion blur during fast-paced games, whereas the Vizio M-Series offers a fair response time, providing smoother motion clarity. Additionally, though both TVs have low input lag, making them responsive to gaming inputs, the Vizio's slightly better scores in this area may give gamers a minor edge in reaction-sensitive games.

The LG UP7000 (LCD) and Vizio M-Series (LCD) are both only fair for sports.
The LG UP7000 has a lower response time and less effective motion processing than the Vizio M-Series, which can make fast-moving sports scenes less smooth on the LG. Both TVs have less than ideal viewing angles but show a reasonable handling of reflections; the LG offers wider angles which could be slightly better for group viewings, while the Vizio with its superior contrast might offer a better picture in a dark setting.
