If you prioritize picture quality and enjoy movies or gaming in darker environments, the LG A1 with its OLED technology offers deeper blacks and overall better performance in dark rooms. However, it's not as bright as some other TVs, which can be a drawback in very sunny rooms. On the other hand, if you're looking for a more budget-friendly option, the Vizio V-Series is less expensive but has lower picture quality and doesn't perform as well in dark settings. Its LCD screen is brighter than the LG A1, which can be a plus in bright rooms, but it has lower performance across most viewing situations compared to the LG A1. Give Feedback

The LG A1 (OLED) is very good for sports, while the Vizio V-Series (LCD) is only fair.
The LG A1 excels in sports viewing due to its OLED screen, which offers a faster response time, reduces motion blur, and provides wide viewing angles, ensuring that fast-paced games look smooth and remain visible across different seating positions. In contrast, the Vizio V-Series struggles more with motion processing and has narrower viewing angles, which means it's less ideal for sports as action might look less clear, especially from side seats..

Geoffrey Morrison | June 2021
"Vizio's cheapest 4K HDR TV packs in a lot for a low price. The voice control via the remote works well, about as well as Roku's version on devices that have it. So if you know your way around a TV menu, or want to be able to dial in the picture even on an inexpensive TV, the Vizio is the better choice"
