If you're looking for a more budget-friendly option without sacrificing much in terms of functionality, the LG UR9000 may be a suitable choice. However, the Vizio M-Series is often priced higher and could offer better performance in a variety of settings. The Vizio M-Series has a higher likelihood of delivering a better picture in both dark and bright rooms, could have superior handling of action-packed scenes which is crucial for sports and gaming, and offers more advanced audio features. On the other hand, the LG model offers voice control capabilities that the Vizio doesn't have. Give Feedback

The LG UR9000 (LCD) and Vizio M-Series (LCD) are both only fair for sports, though the LG UR9000 (LCD) is somewhat better.
The LG UR9000 has better viewing angles which is beneficial for watching with groups, but its motion processing is not as good as Vizio M-Series, making fast-paced sports less smooth. Both have challenges with reflections and similar response times, making them fair options for sports but not ideal for very bright rooms or for viewers very sensitive to motion blur during fast scenes.

The Vizio M-Series (LCD) is only fair for gaming, while the LG UR9000 (LCD) is poor.
The LG UR9000 is noted for its poor response time which is critical for fast-paced gaming as it can cause motion blur, while it does also have the best input lag performance, which is favorable for gaming responsiveness. In contrast, the Vizio M-Series also has fair response time but better input lag performance, and both TVs have a standard refresh rate of 60Hz which might not be ideal for high-frame-rate gaming.

The Vizio M-Series (LCD) is very good for cartoons & animation, while the LG UR9000 (LCD) is poor.
The Vizio M-Series is rated very good for watching cartoons and animation due to its strong color gamut and color volume, which provide vibrant and varied colors, whereas the LG UR9000, despite its good out-of-the-box color accuracy, falls behind with a poor color gamut, resulting in less impressive color reproduction for animated content.
