The LG UP8000 is often significantly less expensive and provides good performance for watching sports and cartoons. However, it has a lower overall picture quality, is not as bright in dark or bright rooms, and lacks some advanced features like local dimming and high dynamic range format support. On the other hand, the Vizio Quantum Pro is more expensive but offers a better picture quality overall and is particularly better for gaming and watching movies and news. It's brighter and performs better in both dark and bright rooms. Additionally, it supports more advanced features like HDR10+ and Dolby Vision, making it a good option for those who want a more immersive experience. Give Feedback

The Vizio Quantum Pro (LCD) is only fair for movies & TV, while the LG UP8000 (LCD) is poor.
The LG UP8000 struggles with movie and cinematic TV watching primarily due to its lower contrast and lack of local dimming, resulting in grayer blacks that are less uniform, which can hurt the picture quality in dark scenes. On the other hand, the Vizio Quantum Pro, with a higher contrast and some local dimming, is better at delivering deeper blacks and more uniformity, providing a more satisfactory viewing experience for movies and cinematic content, although still not ideal for highly discerning viewers.

The Vizio Quantum Pro (LCD) is very good for gaming, while the LG UP8000 (LCD) is poor.
The Vizio Quantum Pro is considered very good for gaming because it has a higher refresh rate, which makes for smoother motion, and a very good response time that ensures a quick reaction on the screen to your input, alongside good input lag performance. While the LG UP8000, despite having the best input lag, has only a fair response time and operates at a lower refresh rate, which means it doesn't handle fast-paced action as well, making it less ideal for gaming.

The Vizio Quantum Pro (LCD) is good for cartoons & animation, while the LG UP8000 (LCD) is poor.
The LG UP8000 delivers poor performance in cartoons and animation primarily because of its limited color gamut and lower color volume, which results in less vivid and diverse colors. In contrast, the Vizio Quantum Pro is good for this content due to its wider color gamut and greater color volume, enabling it to produce richer and more accurate colors.

The LG UP8000 (LCD) and Vizio Quantum Pro (LCD) are both only fair for sports.
The LG UP8000 has a fair response time which might not handle fast movements as smoothly but shows fewer reflections, making it suitable for relatively bright rooms. The Vizio Quantum Pro boasts a very good response time for clearer action scenes but falls short in handling reflections, which could be a drawback in brightly lit environments; both have comparable gray uniformity although it is somewhat important to consider for sports content.

The Vizio Quantum Pro (LCD) and LG UP8000 (LCD) are both only fair for news, talk, & other TV.
The LG UP8000 is fair for watching news and TV programs due to its good upscaling of low-resolution content and satisfactory colors out of the box, but its color gamut is poor, meaning it won't display a wide range of colors. In contrast, the Vizio Quantum Pro offers a very good color gamut ensuring a wider range of colors, but its upscaling is not as effective, making lower resolution content less clear.

"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."
