The LG UR9000 is a more budget-friendly option and does well for watching sports. It also has voice command features for easier control. However, it doesn't perform as well in dark rooms and isn't as bright as the Vizio P-Series.
The Vizio P-Series costs more but offers superior overall picture quality, with excellent performance in both dark and bright rooms. It's also better for gaming, with higher motion processing capabilities, and has a stronger sound system. Yet, it lacks the convenience of voice commands. Give Feedback

The Vizio P-Series (LCD) is good for movies & TV, while the LG UR9000 (LCD) is poor.
The LG UR9000 performs poorly in movie and cinematic TV viewing mainly due to its low contrast and less effective local dimming capability, which leads to subpar black uniformity, affecting dark scene portrayal. On the other hand, the Vizio P-Series delivers a good experience with its high contrast, robust local dimming, and better black uniformity, providing deeper blacks and a more immersive viewing experience in similar content.

The Vizio P-Series (LCD) is good for gaming, while the LG UR9000 (LCD) is poor.
The LG UR9000's performance is less suited for gaming due to its fair response time and best input lag, while the Vizio P-Series outperforms it with a fair response time paired with good input lag, providing a smoother and more responsive gaming experience. Additionally, the P-Series' 120Hz refresh rate complements its input lag advantage, which is better than the UR9000's 60Hz for fast-paced gaming action.

The Vizio P-Series (LCD) is very good for cartoons & animation, while the LG UR9000 (LCD) is poor.
The LG UR9000 is considered poor for watching cartoons and animation because it struggles with color performance, exhibiting poor color gamut which leads to less vivid colors, and this is particularly noticeable in the bright and varied hues often found in animated content. Conversely, the Vizio P-Series is very good for such content due to its very good color gamut and color volume, ensuring that colors are accurately represented and remain consistent at varying levels of brightness.

The Vizio P-Series (LCD) is very good for bright room, while the LG UR9000 (LCD) is poor.
The LG UR9000 is less suitable than the Vizio P-Series for viewing in bright rooms due to its fair performance in SDR and HDR brightness, coupled with its fair reflections handling, whereas the Vizio P-Series performs very good in both brightness aspects and reflections. Additionally, while contrast, color volume, and color gamut are somewhat important, the Vizio P-Series still outperforms the LG UR9000, having very good color volume and gamut against its competitor's fair performance.
