However, it falls short in bright room settings. The Vizio P-Series LCD offers better performance in bright rooms and is more affordable but doesn't match the LG C1 in picture quality or gaming performance. Give Feedback

The LG C1 (OLED) is very good for movies & TV, while the Vizio P-Series (LCD) is good.
The LG C1 excels in watching movies and cinematic TV due to its perfect black uniformity and contrast, along with superior viewing angles that preserve picture quality at different seating positions. On the other hand, while the Vizio P-Series has also good black uniformity and contrast, it falls short in viewing angles, which can affect the consistency of the image when not viewed straight on.

The LG C1 (OLED) is very good for sports, while the Vizio P-Series (LCD) is only fair.
The LG C1 OLED excels in sports viewing due to its outstanding response time and motion processing, which ensures smooth motion in fast-moving scenes, and excellent wide viewing angles that maintain picture quality from different seating positions. In contrast, the Vizio P-Series LCD struggles with slower response time and lower performance in motion processing, and its more limited viewing angles can result in color and contrast shifts when viewed from the side.

The LG C1 (OLED) is excellent for gaming, while the Vizio P-Series (LCD) is good.
The LG C1 (OLED) outperforms the Vizio P-Series (LCD) in gaming due to its superior response time and input lag, which are both rated the best, providing a smoother and more responsive gaming experience. The Vizio, while still rated good for input lag, has only a fair response time, which may result in slightly less fluid motion in fast-paced games.

The Vizio P-Series (LCD) and LG C1 (OLED) are both very good for cartoons & animation.
The LG C1 OLED displays cartoons and animations with vibrant, accurate colors right out of the box and has a very good color gamut, which ensures a wide and rich color range; however, it has only good SDR brightness, which may not be ideal for very bright rooms. The Vizio P-Series LCD also delivers good colors out of the box and boasts a similarly very good color gamut, but it surpasses the LG C1 with its very good SDR brightness, offering better performance in well-lit environments.

Tom's guide
Brian Westover | October 2021
"We were even more pleased to see that performance had improved across the board, with the display offering better color, brightness, and shorter lag times than the already excellent Roku model. Color accuracy was great right out of the box. The TCL 5-Series Google TV becomes a great option for demanding gamers."
