The LG A1 is typically more expensive, but offers a significantly better viewing experience in dark rooms due to its excellent dark room performance and perfect black levels. Its picture quality and color accuracy are superior, which is great for movies and series. However, it doesn't get as bright as some TVs, which can be a disadvantage in very sunny rooms. The Vizio MQ6 is much less expensive, a budget option, but expect trade-offs in picture quality, less impressive color accuracy, and lower performance in both dark and bright environments. It has good built-in speakers with voice commands functionality, making it a practical choice for casual viewing and TV shows. Give Feedback

The LG A1 (OLED) is very good for movies & TV, while the Vizio MQ6 '23 (LCD) is good.
The LG A1 OLED excels in watching movies and cinematic TV due to its perfect contrast and black uniformity which are very important for a cinematic experience, and it also has good colors out of the box, color volume, and gray uniformity, with wide viewing angles being somewhat important. Conversely, the Vizio MQ6 '23 LCD has lower contrast, less effective local dimming, and worse black uniformity, affecting its ability to display true blacks; however, it still has good colors out of the box and color volume with somewhat narrower viewing angles, which might be less ideal for wide seating arrangements.

The LG A1 (OLED) is very good for sports, while the Vizio MQ6 '23 (LCD) is only fair.
The LG A1 excels in sports viewing because of its excellent response time and very good motion processing, which minimize motion blur during fast action, along with superior viewing angles that maintain picture quality for off-angle viewers and better handling of reflections which is advantageous in bright rooms. On the other hand, the Vizio MQ6 '23 has only fair response time and motion processing, which means more motion blur and worse off-angle color and brightness retention, as well as a lesser ability to reduce glare from reflections.

The LG A1 (OLED) is very good for cartoons & animation, while the Vizio MQ6 '23 (LCD) is good.
The LG A1 OLED's superior "Colors Out of the Box" performance ensures vibrant and accurate colors immediately upon setup, making it very good for cartoons and animation, while the Vizio MQ6 '23 LCD's "Color Gamut" excels at displaying a wide range of colors which is why it's still good for animated content. In terms of color volume, both TVs offer good performance, which is important for maintaining the quality of colors at different brightness levels, but the OLED technology of the LG A1 generally provides better contrast and gray uniformity than the Vizio MQ6, enhancing the overall viewing experience for cartoons.

The LG A1 (OLED) is very good for news, talk, & other TV, while the Vizio MQ6 '23 (LCD) is good.
The LG A1 OLED excels in upscaling lower-resolution content, making it ideal for regular TV programs, with its OLED technology delivering perfect blacks and high contrast for an excellent dark room viewing experience. Conversely, the Vizio MQ6 '23 LCD is good for watching TV programs due to its decent upscaling and satisfactory SDR brightness, but it may not match the LG A1's depth of blacks and contrast, which could be more noticeable in darker viewing environments.

Although they have very similar scores, PerfectRec considers LG A1 (OLED) to be good for gaming, while the Vizio MQ6 '23 (LCD) is only fair.
The LG A1 offers excellent response time and the best input lag, making it more suitable for gaming as it will be more responsive and have minimal delay between your actions and what appears on screen.

The LG A1 (OLED) and Vizio MQ6 '23 (LCD) are both only fair for bright room.
The LG A1 performs with "Fair" SDR and HDR brightness and handles reflections "Very Good", which aids visibility in bright rooms, but its peak brightness is limited due to the OLED technology. The Vizio MQ6 '23, while offering "Good" SDR brightness and "Fair" handling of reflections, struggles with "Poor" HDR brightness, meaning it will shine in normal lighting but may not fully display HDR content in well-lit environments.
