The LG UP8000 is less expensive, which can be easier on your wallet. It offers a good experience for sports content and has a wide viewing angle thanks to its IPS panel, making it suitable for watching with a group. However, it doesn't perform as well in darker environments and its picture quality is generally decent, but not outstanding. On the other hand, the Vizio P-Series is pricier but offers notably better overall picture quality, making it a great choice for movie enthusiasts and gamers due to its higher contrast and superior HDR performance. It's particularly well-suited for bright rooms and has better sound quality. However, its viewing angle is not as wide, which might be a concern if you often watch with a large group spread across the room. Give Feedback

The LG UP8000 (LCD) and Vizio P-Series (LCD) are both only fair for sports.
The LG UP8000 has a better viewing angle which is good for sports with multiple viewers, but its motion processing is just fair which may result in blur during fast-paced games. The Vizio P-Series handles reflections very well, important for brightly-lit rooms, but also offers only fair motion processing, with similar potential blur issues during dynamic sports action.

Stratos Kampourogiannis | July 2021
"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."

"We were even more pleased to see that performance had improved across the board, with the display offering better color, brightness, and shorter lag times than the already excellent Roku model. Color accuracy was great right out of the box. The TCL 5-Series Google TV becomes a great option for demanding gamers."
