Based on the information provided: If you prioritize picture quality for movies and series, and a richer color display overall, the Vizio MQ6 '23 LCD could be a better choice. The Vizio also has better dark room performance which may be important if you often watch TV in a dim environment. However, if sports viewing is important to you, the LG UP8000 LCD performs slightly better. It's also the better choice for watching in a bright room and offers a slightly better gaming experience. The LG is generally more expensive, while the Vizio offers strong performance at a budget price. Keep in mind that in terms of sound, neither TV has great speakers, so you might consider a sound bar for better audio quality. Both TVs have the same number of HDMI ports and similar viewing angles, but only Vizio supports a wider range of HDR formats. If using the TV as a monitor is important, the LG edges out with a higher score. Remember, the best choice depends on what you value most in a TV viewing experience. Give Feedback

The Vizio MQ6 '23 (LCD) is good for movies & TV, while the LG UP8000 (LCD) is poor.
The LG UP8000 struggles with movie and cinematic TV viewing due to its lower contrast ratio, lack of local dimming, and poorer black uniformity, which are particularly important for dark scenes common in such content. In contrast, the Vizio MQ6 '23 offers a superior contrast ratio and excellent black uniformity, along with effective local dimming, which means deeper blacks and more detailed shadows, making it more suitable for these types of viewing experiences.

The Vizio MQ6 '23 (LCD) is only fair for gaming, while the LG UP8000 (LCD) is poor.
The LG UP8000 has fair response time and best input lag, making it suitable for casual gaming but less responsive for fast-paced action, whereas the Vizio MQ6 '23 has fair response time and very good input lag, offering a better balance for quicker responsiveness in games. Both TVs have a 60Hz refresh rate which is standard for basic gaming but may not be as smooth for high-speed gaming where higher refresh rates are preferable.

The Vizio MQ6 '23 (LCD) is good for news, talk, & other TV, while the LG UP8000 (LCD) is only fair.
The Vizio MQ6 '23 shines when it comes to watching news and TV programs because it offers stronger SDR brightness and a wider color gamut, resulting in more vivid and brighter images compared to the LG UP8000. However, while both TVs have decent upscaling of lower resolution content, the LG UP8000 performs slightly better in this aspect, which can enhance the clarity of everyday TV viewing.

The LG UP8000 (LCD) and Vizio MQ6 '23 (LCD) are both only fair for sports.
The LG UP8000 and Vizio MQ6 '23 both have limitations that make them just fair for watching sports. The UP8000 struggles with motion handling due to a slower response time and noticeable blur in fast-moving scenes, while its decent reflection handling is undermined by its poor viewing angles, making it less ideal for group viewings. The Vizio MQ6 '23 exhibits good reflection handling and a faster response time than the LG, but it falls short with lower motion processing capabilities that can affect fast-paced sports, and while it offers a better viewing angle than the LG, it's still only fair, limiting optimal seating flexibility.

Although they have very similar scores, PerfectRec considers Vizio MQ6 '23 (LCD) to be only fair for bright room, while the LG UP8000 (LCD) is poor.
The LG UP8000 struggles in bright rooms because it has a lower SDR brightness and lacks effective reflection handling compared to the Vizio MQ6, which offers better performance in both aspects. Additionally, the Vizio's superior contrast and color volume enhance its visibility in well-lit environments, further differentiating it from the LG UP8000.

"What we liked on this one was the very sharp 4K images it could display, its good up-scaling capabilities, nice viewing angles and extremely low input lag. Lastly the new webOS 6.0 is great even if it needs some time to get your bearings while the redesigned Magic Remote feels fresh even if functionality remains the same."
