The LG C2 OLED offers superior performance and is suited for a variety of content including movies, series, gaming, and sports. Its strengths include excellent picture quality, especially in dark rooms, wide viewing angles, fast response time, and low input lag which is great for gaming. It also has better reflection handling, making it a reasonable choice for bright rooms, though not its strongest suit. On the other hand, the Vizio MQ6 '23 LCD is a budget-friendly option with respectable performance for its price range. However, it falls short compared to the LG C2 in most viewing conditions, especially in dark rooms and for sports content. It also has a narrower viewing angle, which means the picture quality may degrade when viewed from the side. If you have a flexible budget and value higher picture and gaming performance, the LG C2 would be a better choice. If you are constrained by budget and primarily watch news, talk shows, or animations, the Vizio MQ6 '23 could satisfy your needs at a lower cost. Give Feedback

The LG C2 (OLED) is very good for cartoons & animation, while the Vizio MQ6 '23 (LCD) is good.
The LG C2 OLED TV provides a better viewing experience for cartoons and animation due to its very good out-of-the-box colors and color gamut, offering more accurate and vibrant colors. While the Vizio MQ6 '23 LCD is good in these aspects as well, it falls short compared to the LG C2, especially in terms of color volume, which affects the richness and range of displayed colors.

The LG C2 (OLED) is excellent for news, talk, & other TV, while the Vizio MQ6 '23 (LCD) is good.
The LG C2 excels in providing a crisp and vibrant viewing experience for news and TV programs due to its outstanding contrast, excellent upscaling of lower resolution content, and superior color accuracy straight out of the box. On the other hand, the Vizio MQ6 '23 offers good performance for similar content, but with somewhat less striking contrast and local dimming capabilities, which means it may not display as deep blacks or as uniform a picture in comparison.

CNET
David Katzmaier | November 2022
"The C2 offers image quality that's a clear step above any non-OLED TV I've seen. The C2 is rare among high-end TVs in that all four of its HDMI ports support 4K/120, great for hard-core gamers with multiple next-gen devices. The C2 is plenty bright enough for just about any viewing environment. It also outperforms QLED TVs like the Samsung QN90B and TCL 6-Series. That's why I consider the LG C2 the best high-end TV for the money of 2022."

About LG
LG, a prominent TV brand from Korea, has played a significant role in popularizing OLED TVs. OLED technology is hailed as the future of TV technology. Their TVs employ WebOS, a proprietary smart TV software that not only offers seamless functionality but also includes gaming-specific features, earning praise from players worldwide. Often regarded as the gateway to unparalleled viewing experiences, LG's mid-range OLEDs come highly recommended, making them a worthwhile investment for those willing to stretch their budget for superior quality.
About Vizio
Vizio is an American company. While they initially gained recognition for offering budget-friendly TVs, they have successfully expanded their product lineup to include high-end options as well. They manufacture TVs primarily in Mexico, China, and Vietnam. Similar to many Korean TV brands, Vizio developed its own smart TV software called SmartCast. In the past, SmartCast was not the best smart TV software, but it has evolved so that it is now good for using your TV and connecting to streaming services.
