The LG C3 (OLED) is very good for sports, while the Vizio MQ6 '23 (LCD) is only fair.
The LG C3 performs excellently in response time and motion processing, which is crucial for viewing fast-paced sports without motion blur, and it handles reflections well while offering wide viewing angles. The Vizio MQ6 '23, while fair in response time and somewhat lacking in motion processing, doesn't handle reflections as effectively and has more limited viewing angles which can affect the clarity of sports content when viewed from the side.

The LG C3 (OLED) is very good for cartoons & animation, while the Vizio MQ6 '23 (LCD) is good.
The LG C3 is highly regarded for watching cartoons and animation due to its 'very good' colors straight out of the box and an equally 'very good' color gamut, ensuring vibrant and accurate colors. In comparison, the Vizio MQ6 '23, while also 'good' in these areas, may not deliver the same richness in color due to its slightly lower performance in color reproduction, making the LG C3 a superior choice for content where color plays a pivotal role.

The LG C3 (OLED) is excellent for news, talk, & other TV, while the Vizio MQ6 '23 (LCD) is good.
The LG C3 (OLED) excels in upscaling and has very good SDR brightness, delivering a clear and bright picture for news and talk shows while also offering robust contrast and vibrant colors that pop straight out of the box. On the other hand, while the Vizio MQ6 '23 (LCD) is competent, its lower contrast and SDR brightness could result in a less vivid picture, particularly in brightly lit rooms, although it also provides very good colors without the need for immediate calibration.
