The LG UP8000 (LCD) and Vizio V-Series '22 (LCD) are both only fair for sports, though the LG UP8000 (LCD) is somewhat better.
The LG UP8000 has better viewing angles, which may be preferable for sports fans who gather in large groups, but the Vizio V-Series '22 offers higher contrast, which could be more appealing for those who value picture depth and detail. Both TVs have fair response times for sports but handle reflections differently; the LG UP8000 handles them well, making it suitable for bright rooms, while the Vizio is just fair, potentially reducing visibility in well-lit environments.

The Vizio V-Series '22 (LCD) is only fair for cartoons & animation, while the LG UP8000 (LCD) is poor.
The LG UP8000 shows colors straight out of the box fairly well but has a poor color gamut, meaning it can't display a wide range of colors, which is essential for vibrant animations. In contrast, the Vizio V-Series '22 displays colors excellently right out of the box despite also having a poor color gamut, offering better initial color performance for cartoons but with a similarly limited color range.

The Vizio V-Series '22 (LCD) and LG UP8000 (LCD) are both poor for movies & TV.
The LG UP8000 struggles with watching movies and cinematic TV because it has a low contrast ratio and no local dimming feature, resulting in poorer black uniformity which is crucial for dark scenes. The Vizio V-Series '22, despite having a better contrast ratio, also lacks local dimming and has only slightly better black uniformity, leading to similar issues, and it also suffers from narrower viewing angles and worse gray uniformity, which can affect the picture quality during group viewings.

The Vizio V-Series '22 (LCD) and LG UP8000 (LCD) are both poor for gaming.
The LG UP8000 has fair response time and best input lag, which means while its quick response to controller inputs is notable, it can struggle with the clarity of fast-moving images. In contrast, the Vizio V-Series '22 also has fair response time, but its input lag is only rated as very good, not as responsive as the LG, suggesting a slightly less favorable experience for competitive gaming where timing is critical.

Although they have very similar scores, PerfectRec considers LG UP8000 (LCD) to be only fair for news, talk, & other TV, while the Vizio V-Series '22 (LCD) is poor.
The LG UP8000 is better for watching news and TV programs primarily because it has superior upscaling capabilities, which is very important for viewing lower resolution content, and colors out of the box, making it more suited for immediate viewing without needing additional calibration. In contrast, the Vizio V-Series '22, while offering excellent colors out of the box, falls short with its upscaling quality and SDR brightness, meaning it would not perform as well in both enhancing non-HD content and displaying it in a brightly lit room.

The Vizio V-Series '22 (LCD) and LG UP8000 (LCD) are both poor for bright room.
The LG UP8000 struggles in bright rooms due to its low SDR and HDR brightness and poor reflection handling, although it offers an average contrast and color volume that are somewhat important. Similarly, the Vizio V-Series '22 also has low brightness levels in both SDR and HDR along with a lower performance in reflections handling, and its contrast and color performance are somewhat better but still cannot compensate for its deficiencies in a well-lit environment.

"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."
